Episode 17 recap: Bai Haotian refuses to accept the truth.

Since they met, Fang Ximu took the initiative to bring her beloved person into a dark room with no one else present. However, it turns out that the other person has no idea what she's talking about. In another world, Song Yian, upon seeing the situation in the virtual game, starts to subtly alert the people around, cautioning them not to let Sun Qing, who is taking over the mission, notice anything and to continue stalling for time for the people in the game.

Later, Fang Ximu realizes that the situation is urgent, and she has no intention of explaining further to the other person. She decides to let the person in front of her act according to her own thoughts and believes in herself. Seeing no reaction from the other person, she directly reveals her true identity—that everything here is a game she participated in, and Bai Haotian in front of her is the male protagonist in the game.

Upon hearing these words, Bai Haotian stands still and begins to feel astonished. He can't believe that he is in a virtual world. Although he heard some things from Fang Ximu, he still finds it all absurd. Seeing him turn away and unwilling to believe in these matters, Fang Ximu continues to tell the tragic story of the male protagonist, explaining that she designed everything herself. However, at this moment, Bai Haotian is drinking alone, feeling desolate and questioning his own existence.
