I Grind Monsters in Dungeons to Land a Government Job

[I'll finish writing the stories I've already gotten approved first. They're all things I like, and I absolutely won't abandon them.]

[A hard-working office drone heroine who's determined to pass the civil service exam and settle down x a tsundere ghost hero who's determined to pass on and be reincarnated]

Chen Qin, an office drone so hounded by her family to get married that she nearly lost her soul, shut her eyes and went straight to take the civil service exam

Who knew she'd run into a thousand-year-old male ghost with only a head in the examination hall!

Lan Xiao: "You stole my thousand years of wish-power and cut off my path to reincarnation. This vendetta can never be forgiven!"

Chen Qin: "? I'm just a miserable office drone who wants to pass the exam!"

As the human and ghost chase each other around, she slips, blacks out, and falls into the extraordinary world known as the Sea of Bitterness!

No mission prompts, no respawn points, and teleportation depends entirely on making a good impression. Even the dungeons feel as suffocating as clocking in at work

In [Moonlight Unhindered], she struggles to survive and nearly becomes a human cocoon that spins silk from its navel;

In [Merciful Madonna], her soul inhabits an ancient noblewoman, but after being abused and killed by a wicked husband, she transforms into a bug that devours men's flesh;

In [Endless Alice], half human and half beast, with the positions of humans and animals completely reversed, she swears to seize the Heart of Alice and become the Black Queen who overturns the rules!

Worse still, she's bound to that tsundere, stubborn-mouthed male ghost.

Though he keeps saying he wants to possess her, at every life-or-death moment he becomes her strongest healer;

Chen Qin only wants to pass the exam and go home, but she's forced to swing an umbrella like a cannon, open an embarrassing health bar, and fight her way from an overpowered grinding machine into a close-combat mage, stabbing through the entire map of the Sea of Bitterness!

Chen Qin: "Can someone explain this to me? I only wanted to pass a civil service exam. How did I end up as the savior who stabbed through the whole world?!"

Character profiles:

[Chen Qin]

[An inhabitant of the Outer World, she betrayed the other self reflected in the mirror. She is said to be dead, yet somehow still has a living, flesh-and-blood body. She is determined to survive and pass the exam, and travels unconsciously between different loops, gathering wish-power stars, but seems forever unable to escape reincarnation. What do you want: 'transformation,' 'ascension,' or 'transcendence'?]

[Lan Xiao (Bound)]

[A ghost trapped in the Sea of Bitterness, unable to reincarnate even after a thousand years dead. He has been torn to pieces, and only his head drifts about. His lifelong wish is to be reborn as a human. On the vast mountain peak, all around him is white, just like the blankness of the only head he has left.

'What are you doing here?'

'I'm waiting for someone.'

'Who are you waiting for?'

'I don't remember.']

[Warnings and guide]

The dungeons are mildly bizarre. The heroine has no golden finger and relies purely on hiding and charging in recklessly (the early part is frustrating, and she's very cautious).
