Infinite-flow | A hodgepodge of multiple game instances | A touch of ensemble cast | Bickering couple | Strong male lead, even stronger female lead
Chu Ning, born into a family of martial artists, dies unexpectedly during a mission.
When she opens her eyes again, she's in a highly advanced interstellar world on a planet called Utopia. She's also one of its lowest-ranked third-class citizens, so poor she's scraping by. She earns 50 survival coins performing on the street, only to have every last one deducted for breaking off a branch from a public tree.
Here, being poor is a sin.
Bread costs coins. Treatment costs coins. Even breathing costs coins.
And the fastest way to earn survival coins is to enter game instances and risk your life:
A cruise ship doomed to sink without a trace
A town of bitterly mismatched couples that no one can escape
A group competition in acid rain where their dignity is on the line
A haunted house that has failed to sell for years
Chu Ning figures that since she's here, she may as well make the best of it. She doesn't mind being repeatedly assigned to the mandatory monthly instance. She just treats it as another chance to get money and items.
What's the point of playing a game if you don't play? The worst that can happen is she'll die again.
She just never expected a beast she couldn't shake to follow her down this perilous road where life and death hang in the balance.

Reader's guide:
1. Both leads are devoted to each other, one-on-one romance, happy ending.
2. The female lead is the strongest. The male lead doesn't steal the spotlight.
