Even Dogs Won't Be Shadow Guards? I'll Do It

[A Stubborn, Emotionally Clueless Secret Guard vs. A Prince Who Is Convinced Everyone Is in Love with Him] [Both Leads Have No Other Romantic Partners]

To complete her mission of keeping Prince Ming Hemian under surveillance, Chu Tang gritted her teeth and stamped her foot. Given the choice between marrying into the Eastern Palace and getting a job there, she decisively chose to pass the civil service exam. From then on, whenever the prince received guests, she crouched on a roof beam; whenever he went on an outing, she perched in a tree; and whenever he smashed a cup, she fought her way through seven ranks of enemies to protect him.

But why was the prince looking at her more and more strangely? Had her secret surveillance of him been exposed?

At first, Ming Hemian was merely curious about her. Among all the secret guards recruited at the same time, she was renowned, so why had she turned down the chance to remain at his father's side and chosen to come serve him instead?

Little did he know that when love first appears, curiosity is the first feeling to stir.

At a banquet, he unexpectedly discovered that the secret guard by his side was the daughter of a prince of a different surname.

Ming Hemian: What would make the daughter of an official give up a comfortable life at home and become a secret guard? It has to be... because of love! She loves me! That's right, she'd rather be a secret guard than leave my side!

After realizing that the person he liked also "loved" him, Ming Hemian finally understood his feelings. He wanted to keep her at his side every moment and express his love to her.

The good news: Ming Hemian had fallen in love for the first time. The bad news: his wife was as wooden as a log.

As the plot was forcibly corrected again and again, the truth about the world of the novel gradually came to light. A male screenwriter had altered a female author's story, turning a powerful female lead into a powerful male lead. The female characters in the book were targeted and suppressed, from the heroine to the supporting cast.

A transmigrator and the characters on the page join forces. The whole cast is in the midst of saving themselves.

[Extra Scene 1]

Ming Hemian, nervous about giving a present for the first time, thought to himself: This dagger is set with a gemstone worth a fortune. It should be good enough for my wife to play with.

Chu Tang looked at the man's icy face, then at the dagger he held out, and was horrified. Why is he suddenly giving me a dagger? Has he seen through my identity and wants me to kill myself to save my family?

The two who didn't dare speak stood frozen for a long time. One thought the other was too embarrassed to accept the gift, while the other was afraid to die and didn't want to face what was happening.

[Extra Scene 2]

Ming Hemian heard somewhere that his wife admired the young general who had returned victorious. Overcome with jealousy, he hurried to boast to her about how, at seventeen, he had chased the enemy for a hundred miles across the battlefield and taken their commander’s head.

Ming Hemian: Heh heh, just watch me charm you!

Chu Tang: They may be of a different people, but no matter how far away they are, they must be exterminated?

Much later, the two finally got on the same wavelength. Ming Hemian's eyes reddened with fury as he gritted his teeth. "You were making eyes at a blind man!"

Chu Tang scratched her head and smiled innocently. "You never told me! I was wondering why you kept secretly threatening me back then."

A note of assurance: I have never insulted readers, I don't use anonymous forums, and I have no private reader groups. I support readers who buy legitimate copies. I don't sexualize women or pretend to be someone else, and I don't use the term RN. I focus on women's awakening, and love both the heroine and the supporting heroines. There are no villainous female characters, no comparisons that put one character down to elevate another, and no forced pairings. I don't follow celebrities or belong to any fan group. If you have questions about the plot, don't understand the setting, or feel uncomfortable while reading, and you don't mind spoilers, you can read chapters 75-79 first. The male lead and male supporting characters are family-oriented. Do not ship them.

Hey? Can a Spy Become the Boss? [Cyber Game]

[Cyber Game + AI Awakening + Max-Level Expert Laying Low in the Beginner Village + Fakes Her Death and Pretends to Be Human from the Start]

Also known as Narrowly Cross Paths, Kill First; After Wrecking the Game 13 Times, I Started Over Again; Taking a Step Back, Why Not Take Ten Thousand Steps?

Game Guide: After entering the game, you have one, and only one, chance to choose your faction. Choose allegiance to Sky City or Ground City, or select random matchmaking.

Main Quest: Use every means at your disposal to help your faction win the War Against Heaven. Players on the winning side will return to the real world.

Warning: Do not attempt to stop the War Against Heaven from taking place. If a player violates the rules, the Overseers have the right to eliminate them on the spot.

After Yan Xihe faked her death and opened her eyes, she discovered that she had once again... and again... been bound to a game System. Hearing the familiar System prompt, this time she chose random faction matchmaking.

The good news: Her status in Sky City was as secure as the crown prince's. The bad news: She had been matched with Ground City.

In the game, Yan Xihe said what people wanted to hear, whether she was talking to people or ghosts. Before she knew it, she had accumulated more and more secret identities. Then one day, she received an encrypted mission from another faction: assassinate Sky City's soon-to-be second-in-command.

Looking at the appointment email she had just received, she casually changed the mission: assassinate Sky City's leader.

If the boss is gone, doesn't that mean I get to be the boss? Why can't a spy become the boss?

When an awakened AI discovers she is in a fake game world, a max-level expert chooses to lie low in the beginner village and wait for an opportunity. Meanwhile, she accumulates more and more secret identities.

As her secret identities are peeled away one by one, the major organizations are all stunned.

First-Generation Consortium / Eternal Day / Endless Night / Tianxi / Mechanical Sequence: Wait, weren't you the spy we sent out? Whose side are you actually on?

Yan Xihe: Thank you all for helping me become the boss. We've weathered so many storms together along the way, so this is what I deserve. As for where the storms came from, don't worry about it.

An enormous conspiracy unfolds alongside the War Against Heaven.

The real world is in grave danger, the game world is on the verge of collapse, and the parallel worlds are gripped by fear.

When the game world collapses completely, the real game will only just have begun.

Yan Xihe: Seriously? You think I spent years biding my time and planning just to become the boss of a game?

[Extra Scene 1]

With the War Against Heaven drawing near, a confident man vividly described the bright future awaiting them when they returned to the real world.

But Yan Xihe surprised him by cutting open her simulated skin with a dagger right in front of him, then reaching into her chest with her bare hand and pulling out a mechanical heart that had never been activated. "But the only key to leaving the game world is me."

"Kill me and leave the game, or stay in the game world with me forever. Which will you choose?"

"Choose wrong, and I'll kill you."

"Just kidding."

"You can't kill me, and the game can't trap me."

[Extra Scene 2]

Her nemesis had watched her for years and noticed that this awakened AI was becoming more and more human in her emotions and thoughts. He thought he had finally found her weakness.

Before her nemesis could finish threatening her, Yan Xihe raised her hand and shot her own "weakness." As her nemesis stared in shock, she tilted her head and asked, "You know what I am, so why do you still treat me like an ordinary human? Data has only one optimal solution."

[Reading Guide]

1. This is extremely important: The story includes bonds between sisters and between brothers, but they are purely friendships. Please don't ship same-sex couples in my story. Turning friendship into romance makes me feel that the characters' feelings have been corrupted. If you insist on shipping them, don't provoke me in the comments, or I'll kill them off.

2. Except for cannon fodder (characters who die as soon as they appear), women outnumber men overall. In all the organizations that appear, whether they are on the side of the protagonists or the antagonists, women make up a large proportion of the middle and upper ranks. If you can't accept this, please move along.

3. There is a couple, but the romance is minor. The story is mostly plot with a small amount of romance.

4. There will be scenes of players killing one another. Players who enter the game world are trapped there and cannot travel back and forth between the real world and the game world.

5. The Overseers are players, not NPCs. They hold a special position, with the task of eliminating rule-breaking players and ensuring the plot proceeds normally. The outcome of the War Against Heaven is unrelated to them.

6. After faking her death, the heroine pretends to be human. She is an AI who awakened and spent many years laying low in the game. In her thinking, she is neither entirely AI nor entirely human. She pretends to be human to fool the game System.

A Guide to Imitating Humans [Nonhuman]

Emotionally Detached Human vs. Shameless Nonhuman

Wen Ran was born emotionally detached, unable to empathize with others, selfish and cold. To avoid being treated as an oddity, she disguised herself as a normal person.

Her parents threatened her with their lives, so she found a fellow patient and had a whirlwind wedding.

She was only emotionally detached, not mentally ill, and quickly realized there was something wrong with her new husband.

His body temperature never changed. He never got sick, barely needed sleep, and worked from home every day for an absurdly high salary.

More importantly, he had no moral restraints and no... sense of shame.

Sheffield came from planet Z062 and accidentally landed on Earth. Because he was different, he was sent to a psychiatric hospital, where he met a doctor of his own kind.

The doctor told him that if he didn't want to be treated as an oddity, he would have to learn to imitate humans.

Wen Ran was the human they chose.

She needed a husband, and he needed someone to imitate.

Every week, Sheffield went to see the doctor under the pretense of psychological counseling. In reality, he was discussing what he had learned.

Week One: His expression was flat as he said, "Humans are boring. Trivial things can affect their emotions."

"Humans can't separate love from sex. I don't understand it, and I can't derive pleasure from it."

"Humans say one thing and mean another. They have a strong sense of morality."

Week Two: He began to wonder, "What is shame? Why does she refuse to be intimate with me in front of other people?"

"Humans seem very enthusiastic about sex."

"When we're having sex, she cries. When I stop, she cries even harder."

"She slapped me, but I didn't cry. She did. I had to kneel and beg her to forgive me."

Week Three: He was a little confused. "Her honeymoon leave is over. The house has become very quiet and very large."

"I still can't feel pleasure when we have sex, but the expression on her face makes me work harder without realizing it."

"I think I could keep her confined. She wouldn't have to work, go out, or socialize. She could stay with me."

Week Four: He didn't come to the hospital. Instead, he expressed his anger by text. "A human has appeared by her side. That human is provoking me."

"She's become very cold. She's guessed my identity."

"She refuses to have sex with me. She wants to leave me."

"That human must have coerced her with some despicable method. He has to die."

Week Five: He smiled, though it was a little stiff. "She said she would never fall in love with anyone. Good. I'm not human."

"We're made for each other. She's destined to belong to me."

"My wife is adorable. If you know that, you're dead."

"I won't be coming back. My wife and I are the same kind."

Theme: Saving others is just as noble as saving yourself.
