Yang Juan, an honest man, was entrusted by his current roommate to play a female account in the game and engage in online dating.
During the day, he focused on his lab work, during the night, he assiduously played as a soft and gentle girl.
He kept his fake persona in mind the whole time.

His online partner wanted to see his photos. He asked his former roommate to ask his girlfriend about the name of the store she frequents. He bought a dress and a wig online to ship overnight and took photos to send to the partner.
Then the photo was accidentally leaked on the internet, a well-known beautiful player in the same server posted on the forum that what he wore was a knockoff and showed the price on her authentic lolita dress in her large wardrobe.
Not knowing that there was a difference between knockoff and generic, Yan Juan, the honest man, blushed with shame.

The next day, he received a large express delivery from his online partner. The box was filled with new Japanese brands dresses.
Most of them were cute styles like the ones shared by that female player.
After checking the clothes’ price, the honest Yang Juan. who only intended to deceive the other’s feelings and not his money, was stunned.

Translator’s Brief Summary:
The honest and straightforward Yang Juan was tasked to expose his roommate’s cheating in-game husband by playing a female account in an MMO game. When that task was checked off, he ‘accidentally’ got himself an in-game husband who is a poor internet cafe assistant with only senior high school education. But now this husband wanted his real-life photo?!
Yang Juan: Where to buy a dress QAQ
The well-off and handsome He Lang was tasked to expose a spy in his guild in secret by becoming her in-game husband, but he got so annoyed by her that he played mostly on his friend’s side account. When that task was checked off, he ‘accidentally’ got himself an in-game wife who is a gentle and soft girl with glasses. But now this wife is avoiding meeting him in real-life?!
He Lang: Grumble grumble
Novel will be lock after chapter 25 where VIP chapters start.
Content warning: This novel is not for everyone, especially female players who get easily offended by how female players are stereotypically portrayed in video games. Such as female players are weaker than male players, always wanting free items and another male player’s protection, whiny and playing coquettishly. Also avoid it if you are not a fan of misunderstanding.
Honest opinion, I do not like the manhua adaptation. They drew Yang Juan with white-curly hair compared to the novel where his hair was described as black. I don’t know if it is the artist’s intention to make Yang Juan look more ‘sheep-like’, but not a fan. Another one is dialogue changed, like how one side character’s lines were delegated to another side character for convenience sake. Not loving the art style either. It is just too girly, even He Lang looks feminine QUQ.
Final words: First chapter will be released on 02/10/23.
Sounds interesting, thanks for starting to translate this! Camping 😄
ooohhhh I’ve known of the manhua first and didn’t know that he was supposed to have black hair and i also noticed that if i recall correctly there was no scene in the adaptation about YJ wearing a dress QwQ I didn’t know i missed such crossdressing moment
Manhua is not that far yet. Even the Chinese one is a few chapters away.
Also, this translator is in a disagreement with some of the names translated in the manhua lol you will see.
Looking forward to the more accurate version Translator-san (‘-‘*ゞ
Hope I can meet your expectation 🙈
I love these type of novels!!
Thanks for picking this up! <3
Lol, this sounds like a riot.
I’d also like to say that regardless of gender there are always people in games that go begging for items to be given to them for free (It’s really annoying).

“This novel is not for everyone, especially female players who get easily offended by how female players are stereotypically portrayed in video games.” = “This novel is sexist. If sexism offends you, you’re the problem.” 🙄🙄🙄
Sexism annoys me to death, but I have weighed the pros and cons and have decided to read this novel anyway because it sounds interesting, but I am glad there’s a warning ahead of time, for people who weigh the pros and cons and decide it’s not worth angering themselves to death.
Camping! Thank you for translating~

thanks for the warning. stereotypical portrayals of girl gamers is why i can’t enjoy the majority of gaming bl [sighs]
Honesty, they are more obvious when I am translating. As I was working on the project, I was like, I don’t remember this LOL
Ahhhhh!!!! Finally a translation! I’ve read the raws before but I really wanna read it with proper translation. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I really love this novel, thank you for translating this <3
I am curious. Can some one tell me when they meet in real life or gong finds out the shou is a man? I’m on ch20 atm
Thanks
Also thanks for sharing and translating
I think chapter 49 (base on the chapter title lol)
Yes thanks. I finished it already
“easily offended” me when I refuse to have critical thinking
Hi, thanks for the warning, but I think the comments were right. I appreciate it, but it could use better words, honestly. I like the novel, but the author has some real backwards views, and finding a problem with it is not a bad thing and is not being “easily offended”. Like I said, thanks for the warning, but please be nicer about it.❣️ anyway thanks for the translation, it is amazing!! 💕
Really sweet novel with best quality dog food. All the characters are super adorable and cute. Definitely recommend for people who are looking for something doting and romantic 💕
