Fu Siyan, the last disciple of Feng San, a spirit-walker from Simen Town, was born with eyes that could see both the living and the dead. She used them for one thing: reading playing cards.
In four years of college, she never learned calculus, but she did become a master at cheating.
Then one day, after winning three straight hands of straight flushes from a crime boss at an underground casino, she was hit by a truck on her way back to campus.
When she opened her eyes again, she was floating in an endless ocean.
System: “Welcome. Please choose a faction and survive to the end.”
Fu Siyan looked at the panel, confident. “I'll pick the main cast and coast to victory. Got it?”
System: “Sorry, Host. We're too weak to have a choice.”
Fu Siyan: “...Then what are my options?”
System: “There is only one available character to pursue...”
Fu Siyan: “Hm?”
The System enunciated each word clearly: “An assassin who won't survive past the first episode.”
Fu Siyan: “...Nani?!”
Others transmigrate as invincible heroes. She transmigrated as a nameless extra, the kind who gets killed off in the very first episode.
Fu Siyan stared at her assassin identity card, deep in thought. If a spirit-walker switches to the living world, does that count as changing careers? When she hands the main cast a knife, can she also tell their fortunes and find out when they'll die?
The System kindly reminded her: “Host, your survival countdown has... seven minutes left.”
Fu Siyan: “...If I start sucking up to the main cast now, is there still time?”
