How Did Eating a Little Mental Energy Turn Me into Everyone's Crush?

Shi Lancun transmigrates into this Sentinel-Guide world as an undocumented outsider and becomes a low-paid Guide working for the White Tower.

The White Tower's top Sentinels are violent, domineering, and terrifyingly powerful. The higher their rank, the harder they are to deal with.

The Guides responsible for soothing them have long been at their wits' end.

As an F-rank Guide, Shi Lancun doesn't even qualify to be scorned by the top Sentinels.

Until one day.

Through the crack in the treatment room door, someone sees the White Tower's number-one Sentinel kneeling before Shi Lancun, bent over her lap and begging her to link with him.

After that, more scenes start circulating wildly around the White Tower.

In a cramped, narrow washroom, the most violent Sentinel holds Shi Lancun on his lap, his expression frenzied as he buries his face against her fair neck.

In a hidden corner of the training ground, a tall Sentinel clasps both hands around the Guide's slender waist, guiding her as she pulls the trigger.

Shi Lancun's rank is low and her mental strength is weak. With abilities like hers, surviving in a contamination zone would be difficult.

But she has a unique ability:

She can eat other people's mental energy.

Negative emotions in particular: the darker and more painful they are, the better she feels, and the more she likes them.

Looking at the Sentinels overwhelmed by their negative emotions, Shi Lancun's eyes light up.

They're all snacks for me!

Going dark? Great! The darker they get, the more nourishing they are.

Shi Lancun has always thought they shared a simple, straightforward symbiotic relationship.

She relies on mental energy to stay alive, while the Sentinels rely on her to absorb their negative emotions and keep them stable.

So she coaxes and deceives them, makes grand promises and steals kisses, stopping at nothing.

Until one day, the Sentinels in the White Tower start fighting in earnest to claim her.
