Tomb Raiding: The Frail Beauty Binds to a System and Becomes a Target

(Pairing with Xiaoge. Beautiful and tragic romance + childhood friends + past and present lives + angst. Bai Chi has two forms: an adult while on missions and a child the rest of the time. He is Li Cu’s neighbor.) People live their whole lives driven by an obsession. Zhang Qiling waits, Li Cu protects, and the System goes mad. Bai Chi thought this was just an ordinary transmigrate-into-a-book mission. There was a cross-dressing System, Li Cu next door, and a plot he couldn’t quite remember. The amusing opening couldn’t conceal the painful past. He didn’t know Zhang Qiling had waited for him across two lifetimes. He didn’t know Li Cu had waited for him for ten years. He didn’t know the System had killed him three times, only for him to come back to life each time. He thought he had transmigrated, but he had actually returned. He thought he was Bai Chi, but he wasn’t. He had forgotten. His body remembered. Zhang Qiling finally got what he’d waited for when Bai Chi said, “I’m staying.” Li Cu finally got what he’d waited for when Bai Chi said, “I remember you.” The System never got what it waited for, and went mad. A story about forgetting and waiting. Bittersweet, full of obsession and helplessness. (The romance moves pretty fast: they kiss in chapter 47. Xiaoge is a little obsessive, and the romance has a bittersweet edge.)
