“The salvation you thought you found was a reunion he had carefully engineered.”
Su Wan, the Time Management Bureau's star employee, has a System that seems a little off.
Other people quick transmigrate to save the world, but she keeps getting thrown into certain-death scenarios:
A minor actress hated by the entire internet, a substitute from an immortal sect offered up as a sacrifice, an interstellar female general parasitized by the insect race...
Every world is poised on the brink of the villain's descent into darkness, and Gu Yuhuai, the target of her missions, always turns around and stabs her in the back at the last moment.
“Mission failed. Host's mental strength has fallen to a critical level.”
“Warning! The Main System has issued a kill order...”
Until one day, Su Wan discovers:
In a hidden compartment in Gu Yuhuai's study is the love token she gave him in her previous life;
Among the wreckage of an interstellar battleship is an antimatter equation she devised herself;
And buried in System 748's underlying code is a love poem she wrote with her own hands three hundred years ago.
“Who are you, really?”
In a doomsday city collapsing beneath neon lights, Gu Yuhuai tears open the collar of his suit, revealing a Black-Bird mark between his collarbones, the same source as hers.
He bends down, bites her bloodstained fingertip, and smiles with a madness both feral and tender:
“Wanwan, these three thousand worlds are nothing but a game board for our reunion. This time, you won't get away.”
