[Short story, complete]
Office drone Su Xiaoran transmigrated as the disposable junior sister who wouldn’t survive three chapters in a cultivation novel. The original character had been romantically involved with three men at once, and the Demon Venerable, Sword Immortal, and Demon Sage joined forces to grind her bones to dust. The moment she opened her eyes, she was bound to a pay-to-survive System, with only 30 days left to live. To survive, she had to max out the affection of all three villains. But the System shop was bizarre: lollipops came in random flavors, good-person cards only worked on malicious thoughts, and eating spicy strips made people chase you for the product link.
Armed with these three items, she gritted her teeth and got to work. Then, at the sect’s grand ceremony, the three big shots appeared together for the first time, and a single osmanthus cake nearly triggered a war between the three realms. Thinking quickly, Su Xiaoran put on a bunny-ear headband and tried to calm things down with a cute act. “Don’t fight, fighting is bad. Let’s sit down and have hot pot!”
Once they’d finished their hot pot, her delicate balancing act officially began. She bounced back and forth through the love triangle, carefully keeping all three happy at the edge of life and death, only to discover in the end that the affection scores were fake, but the scales they gave her, their life scales, and the savory osmanthus cakes were real.
