Heart-Stealing System: Please Conquer That Villain

I’m a master of slick persuasion, and I’ve bound myself to a System that sent me into a book to target its villains.

I heard the villain was vicious and sinister, so I smiled and handed him a “truth pill.” “Guess whether you’ll tell me the truth today?”

Later, his eyes red, he pinned me against the wall. “Your only mission is to make me fall in love with you?”

The System warned that my points were almost maxed out, but I suddenly hesitated.

On the final day of my countdown to being reborn, the doorbell rang.

Standing outside was a man identical to the last villain I’d dealt with. On his wrist was a bracelet bearing my System ID number.

He smiled. “Host, I used your points to redeem myself.”

A cold electronic voice rang in my mind:

“Heart-Stealing System successfully bound. Host Su Wan, current points: 0. Ultimate goal: redeem one million points to be reborn.”

Su Wan traveled from world to world. An interstellar tyrant placed stolen stars on her by hand; a master from a fallen immortal sect defied fate for her, pointing his sword at the heavens; a medieval vampire prince melted in the sunlight beneath her fingertips...

She was silver-tongued and meticulous, turning the impossible into reality with skills and items redeemed using points. Her affection ratings rose, and her points steadily accumulated.

She stood at the entrance to the rebirth passage and closed her eyes.

“Confirm...”

“Ding! Special command detected... Redemption complete.”

In the real world, she had a healthy body again, and the sunlight was warm. It all felt like a dream.

Until the doorbell rang.

She opened the door, her pupils contracting.
