The Allure Simulator

The world's first holographic game, Second Life, has launched, with 2,000 beta accounts randomly distributed. Here, players can unlock a second life and have a chance to earn a completion bonus. First playthrough: You get immersed in the game and give your heart to an NPC. You die at 24, poisoned by your powerful minister of a husband, and no one ever seeks justice for you. Second playthrough: In a fit of anger, you decide to give the world a taste of what a lawless outlaw can do. Instead, you accidentally exploit a game bug and are born with breathtaking beauty and a heart as cold as a blade: not a shred of emotion, only the desire to clear the game. Bring on the quests! [Growth Quest 1: You've been born for the second time! Newborns are extremely fragile and need plenty of care and attention to thrive. Choose who will raise you. A. Your grandmother, right in front of you B. Your grandfather in the underworld C. The stray dog outside] The good news: the quest is intense. The bad news: it's too intense. Your character's grandmother favors boys over girls. During your first playthrough, she repeatedly suggested giving away her worthless granddaughter. What's the difference between choosing her and choosing “B. Be reincarnated” or “C. Feed yourself to a dog and start a third playthrough”? Unexpectedly, the old woman who called you a “damned little girl” throughout your first playthrough picks you up herself, looking dazed. Hmph! Now that you've picked me up, don't think you can put me down. A year later, Grandma has transformed into a doting granny from a fluffy romance story. Much, much later! While players everywhere are still fighting for their lives and starting one playthrough after another, you pull off the impossible. Your storm-tossed country survives, and you clear the expansion. You win the bonus, and the single-player game becomes an online game, a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). A crowd of players, battered in body and spirit, are suddenly thrown into your timeline. They see all the people turning the world upside down for your sake, and all the ruthless villains who once brought the country to ruin have turned over a new leaf and joined together to preserve this peaceful golden age. At first, every player thinks you're an NPC created by the game to keep it running. The instant they discover you're a player, a thousand people on the forums bow down to you, begging you to share your cheats. Perhaps their worship was so sincere that it moved the heavens. The day you pass away peacefully in your sleep, you ascend to immortality in broad daylight. The new expansion, Second Life: Cultivation Fantasy, is now open. Reader's Guide: 1. The heroine is an extraordinary beauty, far beyond the limits of normal human attractiveness, and she only gets more beautiful. 2. The male lead is not the ex-husband. 3.
