[Five heroines|Every lead is morally gray|SC|1V1|BE in the smaller worlds, HE in the main world]
The Time and Space Bureau has five notorious last-place finishers.
They belong to different departments, and their reasons for failing are as varied as they are. The only thing they have in common is that they never follow the mission plan.
At the end of its rope, the Bureau tosses all five into the lowest-difficulty punishment world.
No saving the world, no winning anyone over, and no turning their lives around.
Their only mission is to survive.
The eldest, Shen Zhaorong, ranks last in the Fortuitous Encounters Placement Group.
Tell her to save the protagonist, and she kills every villain instead. Ask her to keep a low profile and lend quiet support, and she turns around and conquers half the realm at the head of an army. In the end, she becomes the general guarding the northern frontier, feared by the entire court, and picks up Cui, the Third Young Master, a man who never stops talking about romance.
The second sister, Xiao Mingluan, ranks last in the Comeback Group.
She treats the world like a game level and everyone in it like an NPC. She is best at paving her way with favors and opening doors by working the rules. That is, until she meets Zhou Jinye, who is just as calculating and just as hard to deal with.
The third sister, Liu Xiwei, ranks last in the Background Character Group.
She only wants to wait quietly for death, but medicine is too expensive, so she turns around and buys an assassin from the death row. He can chop wood and brew medicine, and one day he can even carry her coffin. What a bargain.
As for the other two...
One just wants to stay home until the end of time, but trouble always comes looking for her. The other merely repairs a damaged statue of a god, only to wake the deity sleeping inside it as well.
Missions can fail, and worldlines can collapse.
As for the people they picked up...
No one is leaving.
