«A Light Smile Conquers the World. Book 1» — a romantic prose about a student whose boundary between a multiplayer game and everyday life begins to blur quickly. At the center of the story is future programmer Bei Weiwei: at university, she remains calm and reserved, while in the virtual world, she acts as a strong warrior, searching for artifacts and participating in duels. Gu Man combines campus romance with digital communication, where affection arises not from a chance meeting, but from shared rules, game roles, and the trust that initially forms on the other side of the screen. An unexpected proposal in the game changes the usual rhythm and makes the heroine take a closer look at the person she knows primarily by their nickname and reputation.
After an unsuccessful in-game marriage, the heroine receives an offer from one of the best players on the server — to become his spouse in the virtual world. Thus begins a union that initially seems like a convenient arrangement but gradually transcends ordinary gaming tactics. Joint battles, correspondence, and meetings in the university environment make the relationship increasingly less formal. The story revolves around the question of whether one can trust a person whom you first get to know through a screen and only later — in real life.
