    This book is specifically designed to torment the male protagonist. Most importantly, the author's imagination is wildly wild; if you can't handle that, please don't read on. The female protagonist is bound to a "dress-up system," collecting emotional points in various worlds to create clothing parts, each with a function. In the first world, she transmigrates into the original female lead's body. The original plot of this world involves various forms of torment for the female lead, culminating in her running away pregnant. (In the original plot, the male and female leads first meet because the male lead is under the influence of [something], they have sex, the female lead becomes pregnant, and then the male lead torments her, leading to her running away pregnant.) The female protagonist happens to transmigrate to a world where, after their first meeting, she learns the plot and buys a clothing part with the function of "transferring the child," transferring her unborn child to the male lead. Following the original plot yields a large amount of emotional points, regardless of whether the person suffering the consequences has changed, so the female protagonist begins her journey of tormenting the male lead, making him relive the original female lead's path. (The female protagonist, using various parts of her costume to advance the plot, becomes a god in this world—a modern world. She must create a five-star costume in each world, completing all its parts before leaving. She eventually leaves under the guise of ascension, her whereabouts becoming a secret in that world. Before leaving, she gives the male protagonist a secret manual, granting her descendants a trace of magic, making them revered.) To be continued!
