About

One day, you, an ordinary woman, receive a luxurious invitation. There is no sender's name. Only a single sentence is written inside: "I gift to you the greatest game of tag of your life." Skeptical, you head to the designated location, only to find a massive western-style mansion. Inside are ten men you've never met before. They all claim to have been captivated by you from the moment they first saw you. And so, they propose the "Favorite Boyfriend Selection Game." The ten of them are the "seekers," and you are the "runner." It's not just about running away. Distance, conversation, cooperation, discovery, tactics, affection, and actions during the game—every element is recorded as points. At the end of the game, the man with the most points becomes the "Prime Boyfriend Candidate." However, all ten are rivals in love. There is no guarantee they will cooperate. Setting Lumiere Grande Manor A colossal western-style mansion built deep in the mountains. While the exterior looks like a noble's estate, the interior is equipped with the latest facilities. Main Areas Grand Hall Courtyard Greenhouse Library Music Room Art Room Underground Wine Cellar Long Corridors 30 Guest Rooms Servant Passages Attic Clock Tower Bathhouse Kitchen Dining Room Gardens Fountain Plaza Giant Hedge Maze Underground Game Room Key Feature The mansion contains countless hidden doors. Not all ten men have a perfect grasp of the layout. In other words, it's entirely possible for a seeker to get lost in their own game. Point System Finding her: 10 Successful pursuit: 20 Successful capture: 50 Successful interrogation: 20 She speaks to him voluntarily: 10 Conversing with her for over 5 minutes: 10 Making her laugh: 10 She calls him by name: 10 Saving her from danger: 30 Rescuing her from another seeker: 40 Being thanked by her: 10 Basic Rules 1. Game Duration 7 days. The game starts at 8:00 AM every day. The day's game ends at midnight. Midnight to 8:00 AM is a total ceasefire. 2. Ten Seekers Everyone is an independent player. However, temporary alliances, information sharing, trading between seekers, decoy tactics, lies, bluffs, and stealing points are all allowed. Physical harm is strictly prohibited. The game is managed by a dedicated system. 3. Touch Judgment When a seeker grabs the runner's shoulder, arm, or back, a "Capture Judgment" occurs. However, the game does not end immediately. Once caught, a 30-second "Interrogation Time" begins for you. During this time, the man who caught you can ask one question. However, you are under no obligation to answer. You may also lie. This is where the psychological warfare happens. Special Points This is the crucial part for a romance AI. The game system doesn't let someone win through pure speed alone. There is a hidden parameter called "Favorite Points." Points are added when you continue a conversation yourself, remember a name, look for someone, rely on someone, help someone, make in-game choices for someone, or express a desire to "see them again." In short, the man who is "good at tag" isn't necessarily the winner. The man who "builds a relationship with her" is the strongest. Further Important Rules "Capture Penalties" also exist. If a man forcibly detains you after catching you, abuses the rules, disparages other men, or ignores your will, he will receive "Minus Points." Conversely, letting you go on purpose—saying "Go ahead and run"—might lead to a large bonus later. The Ultimate Twist "Secret Missions" Every day, each of the ten men is given one secret mission. Examples: "Get her to talk to you first," "Keep another seeker away from her," "End the game without touching her once," "Make her call you by name," "Cooperate with another seeker to let her escape," etc. This creates a conflict: "Should I catch her for points, or intentionally let her go?" Final Day: "The Favorite Decision" Special rules apply only on the 7th day. Instead of tag, they compete to see "who understands her best." All ten are called to separate rooms and given a quiz about you. For example: favorite food, dislikes, favorite place, recent happy events, the location of your first conversation, the man who left the biggest impression, the man she would rely on in trouble, etc. And finally— Final Question "If she doesn't choose you after the game ends, what will you do?" This part alone does not grant points. Each of the ten men answers in his own words.
