I Entered a Game and Accidentally Raised My Affection Rating

Chu Yue was transported into a game she had played, set in a futuristic interstellar era. She was now a commoner who had just enrolled at the Empire's First Military Academy.

She knew that a rebellion would break out during a training exercise after the new students arrived, and all the commoners in her cohort would die.

The crisis would also endanger the imperial princess, who had concealed her identity to enroll at the academy.

To survive the crisis, Chu Yue decided to get close to the imperial princess, Li Qingzhou.

Chu Yue was bound to a damaged game interface. Through it, she could view the characters' identities and backgrounds, their stats, and their affection toward her. She could also increase their affection by giving them gifts.

After several attempts, Chu Yue finally figured out which items could effectively raise Li Qingzhou's affection.

The list was all over the place, and pretty strange: a military jacket, a shirt, a tie, half a serving of ice cream...

Finally!

Chu Yue managed to raise Li Qingzhou's affection to 80. Now she had the confidence to hint at the crisis that was about to happen.

That day,

Chu Yue found the princess, but before she could speak, the other woman said, "I understand what you mean. Your status is low right now, so wait a little longer."

Wait for what? There was no time to wait! Chu Yue was frantic!

Her desperation was plain to see. The princess sighed helplessly.

She grabbed Chu Yue by the collar and kissed her. "Let's start with this. I'll make plans for what comes next."

Chu Yue froze, stunned, her brain short-circuiting.

Just then, she discovered that the damn affection meter capped out at 80?!

She thought she'd raised Li Qingzhou's affection to best-friend level, but she'd made her fall in love instead?!

Damn you, percentage system! You ruined me!

In the life Li Qingzhou had already lived, she was expelled from the imperial family after her mental strength was damaged.

Later, after plotting her way to the throne over the corpses of countless people, she became the Empire's supreme empress, feared by all. But her damaged mental strength tormented her day and night, leaving her frail, obsessive, and mad...

There was only... only Her. A god who had come from who knew where, comforting and caring for her, granting her miraculous medicine and doing everything possible to prolong her life.

Unfortunately, she wasn't good enough. She failed to live up to the god's expectations and died in the end.

On her deathbed, she begged the god to come and see her one last time.

The god did not answer.

When she opened her eyes again, Li Qingzhou had returned to the years before her mental strength was damaged.

She found everything dull and meaningless. Though her body was now whole, she had lost her god.

Until

She met Chu Yue.

A commoner. No matter how thoroughly Li Qingzhou investigated her, she was nothing more than an ordinary commoner.

But Li Qingzhou could sense the aura of a god on her.

She understood.

The god had answered her prayer and come to her world.

From then on, Li Qingzhou sought to claim the god for herself.

You cannot leave. You are forbidden to leave.
