Overnight-loving Chinese literature student Jiang Zhao made a passing complaint, only to be dragged by the “Reader Resentment System” into the novel Slay the Gods.
She landed straight in the middle of a deadly crisis, with just three minutes until disaster struck. The young Lin Qiye was on the verge of breaking down under pressure from the Goddess of Night.
She had a 20-character “fate-changing” golden finger and three chances to reload her save. Using a broken hair tie as her save point, she shielded Lin Qiye from a blade, rescued An Qingyu, and reclaimed the entire city of Cangnan.
Every time she saved someone whose tragic fate had haunted the readers, she lost a piece of her memory of “reality.”
Later, readers went wild over the little romantic scenes:
A princess carry on a rainy night, pretending to be a couple in the library, a candy-wrapper ring beneath the fireworks...
When the gods descended, he snapped his guitar strings playing for her; when the world collapsed, she endured 100% emotional severance in his place.
When the final line of narration read, “This time, we'll live on together as ‘human beings,’”
the boy of the night finally took hold of his light
and the girl who had once snapped him awake with a hair tie smiled and tilted her head at him in a bookstore that never closed:
“Lin Qiye, welcome home.”
High sweetness, high intensity, bittersweet romance, and a happy ending for the entire cast.
“I bring the night with me, to welcome the dawn of humanity for you.”
