[Infinite-flow + multiple instances + rule-based horror + romance + actress-like heroine]
One day, Xia Qinyan found herself broke, with her points reduced to zero. To return to the real world, she had to earn them back.
She worked hard in every instance, until she ran into a creepy NPC who appeared in every one and seemed strangely familiar.
Instance One: The creepy school doctor’s true form was a gigantic, mutated white medicine bottle. Xia Qinyan pretended to be sick to stay alive, only to be exposed the very next second. Her inner monologue: I’ve noticed you’re really a stickler for the rules.
Instance Two: After hearing Xia Qinyan howl her way through an opera aria, the theater troupe leader, once a famous performer, gave her a disdainful review: “What a shame she isn’t mute. She’s such a lovely girl, so why can she talk?” Xia Qinyan was so furious that she smashed up the theater stage.
...And many more instances.
Xia Qinyan’s stance was simple: Why are there so many rules? No one can get in the way of me earning enough points to go home.
(The male and female leads had originally earned enough points to return home. But they failed to clear the final S-rank instance. The male lead sacrificed himself to save the female lead, using up all his points. His soul shattered and scattered across the various instances. After the instance caused the female lead to lose her memories, she began earning points all over again.)
