Lin Qingwan had just finished nibbling half a peach when a fine red glow suddenly shimmered at her fingertips. The light band wrapped around her wrist turned scorching hot, and a cold mechanical voice crashed straight into her mind:
[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully bound the Bond Correction System!]
She choked and coughed until her eyes reddened. Clutching the burning band around her wrist, she felt her heart sink.
In her previous life, a tangled romance had tormented her to death. After her soul transmigrated, generation after generation of women in her family had always seemed doomed to similar hardships. Now a System had appeared out of nowhere, and it was tied to this peculiar bond?
Before she could recover, another System notification popped up:
[Main quest issued: Find the person with whom you share the deepest bond, and make him give up on you completely.]
[Quest reward: Escape your predetermined hardships, unlock the passage back to the modern world, and inherit in full the billions in assets left by your modern-world husband.]
Lin Qingwan stared down at the band wrapped around her wrist, then at the matching band of light stretching from the guqin beside her. She was completely dumbfounded.
She had risked half her life to flee her wedding in the middle of the night, determined to avoid this tangled fate. And now the System was telling her that if she wanted to go home and escape the suffering of two lives spent transmigrating, she had to seek that person out and do everything she could to make him stop loving her?
She ran her fingers over the light band wound around the strings and ranted inwardly:
Other people’s Systems bring couples together, but mine wants me to approach that person first, only to cut off our feelings with my own hands?
Is this bond that will entangle me for a lifetime here to save me, or just to make my life miserable?
[A romance-averse, marriage-fearing heroine VS an obsessive male lead who transmigrated and was reborn + a System that turns the usual tropes on their head]
