Socially Anxious Otaku Still Wants to Find Love!

Socially anxious Ruan Cunyun only dares to be his true self in the 2D world. His lifelong passions are three things: 1. staying home to game, 2. cosplay, 3. collecting every doujinshi by the artist Egg-sensei. —These ultra-otaku traits would be social suicide if his coworkers found out! On his first day at work, when asked about his hobbies, Ruan Cunyun offers a rehearsed fake answer with a fake smile: "Sports, travel, music." No sooner does he finish than a man in a crisp suit steps into view, radiating an intense professional aura. Coworkers greet him respectfully: "Hello, President Qin." Ruan Cunyun breaks into a cold sweat: *Crap, I think I saw him at a con four years ago… Am I about to be exposed on day one?* - Qin Fanglv, co-founder of a rising corporate powerhouse, clawed his way up from nothing, burying all his 2D obsessions under the polished veneer of a mature elite. No employee knows that their impeccable young CEO is actually a decade-deep otaku with hundreds of thousands of online fans, revered as the "Egg-sensei," a legend in fandom circles. Qin Fanglv defines himself as an extremely rational fictosexual. He’s never been attracted to a real person and wouldn’t know how to be. But then that new hire unexpectedly catches his eye. A baby-faced look with a cool vibe. Occasionally flashes a grin—revealing a pair of little fang-like teeth. A 20-year fictosexual identity crumbles to dust. How do normal people even *do* romance? An aging otaku starts from zero in love’s classroom, yet somehow still can’t grasp the lesson. - Ruan Cunyun & Qin Fanglv: *He must never find out I’m an otaku!*
