    The female protagonist is an unfortunate parasite, possessed and drained of her luck by a system. The story unfolds from a false perspective, and each time it nears its end, she discovers it's all a lie, and what she believed to be real is also a lie. The male protagonist is trapped in a cycle of reincarnation by the system, attempting to steal the female protagonist's luck using her body (though her soul is absent), but to no avail. He researches an AI, a novice, to fight the system, but the power gap is always too wide. After endless cycles, they reach an agreement, opening the story from the female protagonist's perspective… Their stories finally intersect, becoming entangled in a cycle of reincarnation, ultimately defeating the system and starting anew. This time, they choose each other again. The female protagonist's personality is quite contradictory; she is kind, yet she also extinguishes that kindness. Recommended reading! 😄😄😄
