Shi Yun: out of luck.
After passing the civil service exam on her fifth try, she was so thrilled she dropped dead. When she opened her eyes again, she had become a useless Guide.
The good news: “useless” was a lie. She was the Empire’s only top-tier SSS-rank Guide!
The bad news: she had to slave away for a scheming System…
System mission: [Calm the Empire’s dangerously unstable Sentinels, whose riot levels are maxed out]
Later…
The Imperial General, her fiancé whom she had thoroughly offended, pins her against a wall, wolf ears twitching, eyes red. “Break off the engagement? Not a chance!”
The haughty, aloof mad scientist kneels at her feet in the middle of the night, wrapping his snake tail around her ankle, fragile and vulnerable. “Please, look at me one more time…”
The ruthless top finance minister who once held the Empire in his grasp has now turned into a scheming flirt, using his fluffy fox tail to seduce her. “Sis, who do you want to bring down next?”
…
As she sleeps, cold, soft tentacles coil tightly around her. “Darling… there’s not a moment when I don’t want to kill them all.”
Woken by a familiar voice, Shi Yun says:
“System? You’re making me work for you in the middle of the night too… Huh!? Who are you!?”
…
Later, the entire Empire witnesses the so-called useless Guide with a row of top-tier Sentinel big shots following behind her!
Everyone is in despair. “Has this world finally gone crazier than I could ever have imagined?!”
The female protagonist is quite frustrated. She is not superior to the sentries, her personality is a bit soft, and she is forced to do tasks. It is suspected that the male protagonist's several sentinels are also not good and do not respect the female protagonist.
