Many viewers looked confused and couldn’t understand what An Rugu was saying.
[Wow, the dimensional barrier has been broken! The two-dimensional character has crossed over into the three-dimensional world!]
[Host: Since ghosts exist in this world, why can’t there be paper dolls? (doge)]
[If it were true, that would be amazing! I want to date a perfect, two-dimensional character in real life.]
The destined person was utterly dumbfounded, her eyes filled with confusion. “What do you mean? I’m too dense to understand. How could a two-dimensional character exist in reality?”
She said the other person seemed genuine, but was just joking.
An Rugu picked up her phone and searched for information. “This game is a product of Rumeng Games Company, and the boss is named Xu Ming.”
There was an entry for him on Baidu Baike1, but not much information. He’s nearly forty, on the heavier side, and a bit round. He’s balding, with a receding hairline that revealed a bald top. At first glance, he looked no different from any other middle-aged, greasy man on the street.
Upon hearing this, the destined person nodded hurriedly and agreed. “That’s right, whenever he comes up with a terrible update, we call him ‘Old Dog Xu’.”
An Rugu stared at the other person’s photo, carefully calculated, and sighed softly, worried that the destined person wouldn’t be able to handle it. After all, the destined person cared so much about the game character.
She said meaningfully, “In this game, Chu Zemin has two older sisters who support him through college. He works very hard and lives up to his family’s expectations, getting into a good university.
“And this President Xu Ming also has two supportive, older sisters, and he also got into a good university.”
Both the destined person and the viewers in the livestream were confused. The Baidu entry did not mention so many details at all.
Before they could react, An Rugu continued, “In the game, Professor Chu Zemin met the female protagonist when he was twenty-five years old, fell in love with her at first sight, and from then on, he was hopelessly infatuated.
“In reality, CEO Xu Ming also met someone he liked when he was twenty-five years old.”
Viewers in the livestream: “???”
[Didn’t the game’s official statement say there was no real-life prototype? This is a scam!]
[I’m stunned. So when the streamer said the 2D character existed in reality, she meant they have real-life counterparts. I also really like Chu Zemin, and I just searched for Xu Ming. The handsome guy in my mind suddenly has the face of an older man, and I instantly wilted.]
[I’ve spent so much money on in-game purchases, and I’m actually giving money to a middle-aged, greasy, balding man. I’m really generous ah!]
[Can the real world please stop trying to piggyback on the anime/manga world?]
With each sentence the destined person heard, her eyes widened, until they were as big as copper bells.
What? My favorite game character… is based on the game company boss?
The former was gentle, refined, and handsome. But the latter was a complete middle-aged man!
The thought of how many times she had fallen for Chu Zemin sent chills down her spine.
She slammed her right hand on the table, furious. “The game description said it was completely virtual, but it turned out there’s a real-life counterpart? This is fraud!
“If I had known there was a real-life prototype, I definitely wouldn’t have played it.
“Who would want to have a romantic relationship with a married, middle-aged man? I’ve never seen such a shameless person. Host, is he a narcissist?”
“His birth chart shows that he is very self-centered, so it wouldn’t be wrong to call him narcissistic.”
After pondering for a moment, An Rugu said, “The female protagonist in the game is named Chen Meng, and the game company is called Ru Meng. His wife’s name also contains the character ‘Meng’.”
The destined person and the livestreamed viewers, all bewildered: “???”
Many people took a long time to understand her implied meaning. Now, they were almost disgusted to the point of vomiting.
[Wow, not only is the male lead based on a real person, but the female lead is also based on a real person—a middle-aged couple!]
[In my dream… a car wheel ran over my face.]
[It seems we’re paying to play the role of his wife and have a romantic relationship with him. So the question is, who did I cheat on, and who cheated on me?]
[I’m different. I’ve spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to become a mistress, hahaha.]
[Sorry, I’m a little nervous being a mistress for the first time. Please forgive me.]
Many viewers in the livestream were immediately overwhelmed with emotion, and the news gradually spread to other platforms.
Many fans of Chu Zemin were bewildered after seeing the related trending topics, and after clicking on them, they were almost completely shocked.
The fictional character they adored was actually based on the company’s bald, Mediterranean-looking CEO, and the female lead was actually the CEO’s wife?!
Had they only said from the beginning that there was a real-life prototype, then it would be fine, they would just stop playing it.
But in order to make money, the company claimed that there was no real-life prototype. Wasn’t that fraud?
More and more people began feeling like they’ve swallowed ten thousand dead flies and were joining the ranks of those whose defenses had broken down.
The destined person looked utterly heartbroken and devastated. She played dating games because she liked perfect, fictional characters, but she never expected that her favorite character would collapse so completely.
She pursed her dry lips, feeling utterly speechless and dazed, and couldn’t help but complain, “Host, I’m so unlucky, how come every idol I follow ends up ruining my life?”
However, seeing that she wasn’t plagued by bad luck at all, An Rugu said, “It might just be a coincidence.”
The destined person sighed deeply, suddenly feeling utterly disillusioned. “Looks like I should just focus on my work. I’ve really had enough of the pain of loving someone.”
What does love matter? From now on, all I care about is making money!
“That’s fine too.”

After hanging up the call, the comments section erupted like a tsunami, all discussing the three anime series and the dating game that had just overturned.
[Oh my god, look at the trending topics! The official announcement about the voice actor being detained has actually been released! Wow!]
[Hey streamer, do you need another leg accessory?]
[As expected, you see everything when you live long enough. In this magical era, the authors behind fictional characters can be exposed, and the fictional characters themselves can also be exposed.]
An Rugu didn’t bother to read the comments; instead, she directly contacted the second person she was destined to meet today: <Anyone Advising Someone to Study Medicine Will be Struck by Lightning].
After the call was connected, a woman in a white nurse’s uniform appeared on the screen. She was sitting behind the duty station, holding disposable chopsticks in her right hand, with a bowl of hot and sour noodles in front of her. Her lips were slightly red from the spiciness.
“Hello, host!”
“Hello.”
[Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen a nurse in a livestream! Shouldn’t hospitals be very busy? When I went before, it was packed with people.]
[It’s lunch break now. Doctors are human too; they also need rest.]
[The ID of this destined person is so relatable. Medical students keep crying; there’s always so much to memorize, so many exams, and so much overtime.]
The destined person put down her chopsticks and said with a smile, “I live in a small county town, so we don’t have many patients. Most of the patients with difficult or complicated cases go to the city hospitals. Only the emergency department and a few other departments don’t close for lunch.
“It’s not on my shift right now, but I’ve been a bit busy this morning, so I’m too lazy to go back home to eat. I’ll just go straight to work after my lunch break.”
An Rugu nodded slightly. “Okay, do you want your fortune told? If so, a high-powered gun salute will suffice as divination fee.”
The destined person immediately gifted a high-powered gun salute, but hesitated for a while before saying, “I’m just a lazy bum, I don’t really crave career or love, let me think about it, streamer.”
“Okay.”
She had barely finished speaking when footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.
