Jiang Yao, who loves tempting fate, succeeds in getting herself killed during one of her attempts. When she wakes up, she discovers that she has been bound to a System.
System: Your soul has been damaged. You need to follow me...
Jiang Yao answers without hesitation: “Do missions? When do we start?”
From then on, she becomes an illegitimate daughter who schemes to punish scoundrels, an imperial princess who unifies the realm, a witch who upholds justice... Completing all kinds of missions lets her absorb soul power and grow stronger.
System: Dear Yao, there’s actually a secret I’ve never told you.
Jiang Yao: “Oh, my dear Drifter, were you going to tell me you’ve been running for your life all this time?”
System: “How did you know?!”
Jiang Yao: “So, is it time to go back and kill them?”
