Gu Xi transmigrates into a xianxia world, but comes with an RPG system.
From then on, Gu Xi's job is to be a player!
The player has a troubled past and a blood feud to avenge.
Gu Xi: Mm-hmm, I get it. That's a standard player opening!
The player roams the martial world, proficient in all eighteen forms of martial arts.
Gu Xi: No, no, I'm not a genius. I just never mess up my QTEs. (Finger heart)
The player follows martial artists into an open area, where the mastermind has been waiting for a long time.
Gu Xi: I know, open areas always mean a boss fight. System, that entrance effect and outfit are so cool. If I kill him, can I get them as loot?
The player joins a sect to expand her skill slots, and her eyes light up when she sees her master.
Gu Xi: Is this the luxurious white hair every xianxia RPG player dreams of? System, I want it too! I'm the protagonist, so give it to me, and throw in another hundred thousand taels of silver!
The player is showered with flirtatious glances and confessions from handsome male characters.
Gu Xi: I know, this is the NPC romance system, right? I'll marry this one to see the story, then divorce him and marry that one to see his story...
A month later, she is horrified.
Gu Xi: System! Why can't I get divorced?!
Gu Xi: I'm wanted for bigamy and marked as a criminal! Fix this bug! These men are slowing down my main quest progress!
To escape the chaotic love triangle from hell, Gu Xi has no choice but to race through main and side quests, leveling up day and night, all so she can defeat the Demon Lord and finally graduate from the RPG.
So Gu Xi gets stronger, but somehow... there are even more characters in the romance system.
I'm out of ideas!
Reader's Guide:
1. Lots of original worldbuilding in this xianxia RPG, mixing wuxia and cultivation. My take on the fourth disaster. Ignore any contradictions. x
2. Third person, brainless wish fulfillment with an irresistible protagonist. The protagonist thinks like a player.
3. Separate endings or an everyone ending. No official partner, and she may not be able to keep everyone happy.
4. I'll add more if I think of anything.
