The heroine, Wang Meng, is a socially anxious college student. On her twentieth birthday, she awakens the System and splits off an ultra-masculine male doppelganger, Wang Shuo… with maxed-out combat stats and testosterone to spare!! But here’s the ridiculous part: he can only stay alive by accumulating “presence points”‼
Even crazier, the two are forced to transmigrate across different worlds to complete missions. In the apocalypse, she’s a medic while he becomes a savior by putting down the zombie hordes. In ancient times, she takes revenge on the chancellor, while he’s the enemy’s leader of covert guards… Their identities put them on opposite sides, with blades at each other’s throats.
The part that hit me hardest! The cyberpunk world reveals the truth about the System: Wang Shuo was an AI-trained perfect leader, while Wang Meng was only a vessel… But in the end, he actually hacks back into the System: “Now it’s my turn to become your shadow.” I cried for three hours.
