Qi Yu’s life was a blank slate. The moment she woke up, she was told she had to travel between worlds on the verge of collapse and save them.

Qi Yu: “What kind of high-risk, exploitative, round-the-clock job is this? Can I refuse?”

X20: “Negative. Host, STW offers excellent employee benefits, and this is not a round-the-clock job. You’re free to pursue personal interests outside your missions... (five hundred words omitted)”

Qi Yu: “Stop reading, boss. Fine, I’ll do it!”

From then on, a beautifully furnished little shop appeared in the chaotic, dangerous worlds of the apocalypse. Rumor had it that when someone was cornered and hovering on the brink of death, a black-haired girl would offer them a glimmer of hope. In exchange for an item or a memory, they could obtain the tool they needed to escape their predicament from that legendary shop.

The female lead is a closeted workaholic with formidable abilities, and she doesn’t rely entirely on the System.

The focus is on her career, with plenty of friendship and family bonds. The female lead has no romance plot, though minor characters do have romantic storylines.

Some male and female supporting characters have one-sided crushes.

The worlds have different settings, but they share the same core premise.
