Reborn, I’m going to run in the election!
After failing to land a job, Qilan unexpectedly transmigrates into an otome game, as its hugely popular heroine.
But that runs counter to her lifelong dream of becoming the protagonist of a classic shonen battle manga.
“If this were a story about being reborn as a special forces soldier, I could accept it. But why am I a delicate flower in a cyberpunk world? Where are the mercenaries? The megacorporations? The shady deals? The advanced weapons?”
Qilan loathes the romance plot she’s been assigned. She’s had enough of living under someone else’s control.
To fight the System, Qilan embarks on one cycle of self-destruction after another, seeking enlightenment through reincarnation.
The game’s scriptwriter can’t take it anymore. After Qilan arrests them, they’re completely helpless and wave a white flag.
“So I’m the mastermind?”
“You’re only a candidate.” The scriptwriter lies face-down on Qilan’s desk, hands tied behind their back.
“Oh~” Qilan twirls her pistol and presses it to the back of the scriptwriter’s head.
“Make me mayor, now!” Qilan orders.
From then on, everything will go according to Qilan’s will. The game’s easy mode plummets into hell mode, just as she wanted.
She becomes the prime suspect in the mayor’s murder!
“Why are there actual mercenaries?!”
“Please, boss! I have parents to support and kids to raise. My child just started school this year. Don’t fire me!”
“Please, big brother, I’ll do anything as long as you don’t kill me!”
“May the world know no more war.” Qilan, utterly resigned, is bundled into a car and forced to head to the refugee island.
It only takes an instant to change your mind. With a gun pressed to her forehead, Qilan yells, “Reborn, I want to be the heroine of an otome game!”
