Interstellar Queen x Two-Faced Childhood Friend! Interstellar Schemes + High-Octane Awakening
"They all say I'm a jinx reincarnated: I miss passing exams by one point, Grandma misses it by one second... But they don't know that every time I 'almost' make it, there's a pair of hands manipulating my fate from behind the scenes..."
Zhang Xihe is a socially anxious girl plagued by bad luck. The warmth in her life comes from the twenty years of loving care her "Grandma" has given her, and from her childhood friend Jiang Xu, who would even shove her out of harm's way in a crisis and end up seriously injured and hospitalized himself. "Don't cry, Hehe... As long as you're safe, that's enough."
Those are the only two family members she has.
Until a bullet pierces "Grandma's" chest! As the old woman lies in a pool of blood, she unlocks the pendant around Xihe's neck. "You were the Queen of the Star Gate..."
When the innocent girl who has hit rock bottom begins searching for the truth behind her grandmother's death, she discovers that the answer seems to be right beside her...
Young Master of the Wen Shu: Wu Yan grabs her bloodied wrist. "The Star Gate has been dead for ages! Be my Pavilion Master's wife, and I'll spare you the fate of a lonely ghost..."
Young Master of Wucheng: Rong Wu carries her into a battle chariot, his fingertips brushing her neck. "The Star Gate's young master? Be my Machine Lord's wife, and I'll give you half the Iron Throne!"
Step by step, she enters the three great interstellar sects: Wen Shu, Machine City, and the Star Gate... Through open conflict and secret schemes, she finally faces the battle that will restore the Star Gate and avenge her deepest grudge...
Amid a sky filled with artillery fire, a figure shields her. A sharp sword pierces his heart. It's Jiang Xu, who should have gone home to recover!
Blood seeps from his spacesuit, but his voice carries a smile:
"Hehe... Now I can tell you. I was the one who changed that 95-point exam paper in high school..."
