Li Zhi bound herself to a strategy System and transmigrated to the Great Qin Dynasty to win over the prince Gu Zhao.
Huh? Gu Zhao ascended the throne, and she was forced to transmigrate back?
And Gu Zhao is actually the World Master whose power affects the world?
Then Li Zhi got a second mission: lower the World Master's corruption level.
Li Zhi: Easy-peasy. Don't worry, organization!
A tiny little mission? I've got this! (ง •̀_•́)ง
Wait, what? How can the corruption level go up instead of down?
(|||❛︵❛.)??
She, Li Zhi, a distinguished family heiress from the 23rd century, can't handle one little mission?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
Caught between doubting herself and doubting Gu Zhao, Li Zhi chose to doubt the System.
At the Host's first complaint, System 888 remained unfazed: Host, don't worry. I'm a high-tech product, so there's no way anything can go wrong!
At the Host's second complaint, System 888 sounded noticeably less confident: Host, I'm already fixing it!
At the Host's Nth complaint, System 888 gave up and wailed: Host! Maybe you should try doubting your man first!
Gu Zhao: ...?

The world was dark and silent. Gu Zhao walked alone, his figure blending into the shadows, his numb steps carrying him aimlessly forward.
Perhaps this was how things would remain. At least no one would ever see the wreckage inside his heart.
But then he met someone.
A fool who crossed mountains and ridges, carrying a gentle breeze and brightness, and patiently led him to the other side of the world.
It turned out that in his world, too, he could hear birds singing and insects chirping, smell the fresh fragrance of flowers, and see warm, blazing sunlight.
He would keep her, whatever the cost...
