The deputy director of the Transmigration Into a Book Administration Bureau went into a book to capture a fugitive. The System she was assigned was a ten-year-old machine pulled from storage, model 404.
Her soul transmigration was 47% complete when it ran out of power. Only five words remained in the mission fragment: Win over target, male.
There was only one man locked up in the dungeon.
She rescued him, gave him medicine, and physically purged the toxins. As soon as she let him go, the System's signal went back to full strength:
"Ding! Non-mission target [Seventh Prince], bond progress 102%."
Zhu Wumian: "I want a refund!"
System: "S-rank princes are not eligible for no-questions-asked returns within seven days."
She turned around to capture the real fugitive, Shen Yulou. He kept tossing out coded phrases to test her:
"yyds?" She remained expressionless.
"Thanks a lot?" Her gaze stayed clear.
He steeled himself and roared out the ultimate code phrase: "996!"
Zhu Wumian turned back with tears in her eyes. "Bro, I've been working overtime for twelve years."
Shen Yulou burst into tears on the spot. "You're one of us! I'm not a fugitive, I got laid off! I want to take my employer to labor arbitration!"
Later, after her secret identity was completely exposed, the Seventh Prince showed up at her door with betrothal gifts and said only one thing:
"I know your household registration is in another world."
