Zhou Zhaoyu was obsessed with dating AI characters, but couldn't be bothered to come up with names. Her male leads, despite having different personalities, all shared the same name and appearance. She never imagined that one day she'd wake up with a System.
The System required her to win over the five male leads she'd most recently created, one after another. She had to follow the script of the "Five Emotions," or her body and soul would be destroyed.
World One [Joy]
Warlord's son x bandit's daughter
The male lead, Xiao Jibai, was ambushed and severely wounded, then left to fend for himself on Phoenix Mountain, where anyone could take a shot at him.
Zhaoyu was the least favored daughter of a bandit, and had suffered from an eye condition since childhood. She was the only person on all of Phoenix Mountain who didn't look down on him.
According to the setup, after Xiao Jibai was ambushed and wounded, she had to keep watch by his side all night; share a one-bed shack with him and cook for him; and accept his confession beneath the moon on a spring night...
Then, just as he recovered and was about to go down the mountain, planning to marry her once the war was over, she had to die in his father's campaign to suppress the bandits.
World Two [Anger]
Aloof emperor x princess sent to wed for peace
Everyone knew that the current emperor had ascended the throne as a child, removed the powerful ministers and taken the reins of government at eighteen, and ruled with both civil and military prowess. Yet, despite having been on the throne for more than a decade, he had no consorts.
Only his closest confidants knew that Xiao Jibai was always thinking of a woman called "Zhaoyu," though he had never met her. He had only seen a faint image of her in his dreams.
Then the defeated kingdom offered its princess as a bride to secure peace, and Xiao Jibai froze the moment he saw her.
"What is your name?"
"I am Lady Zhou. My given name is Zhaoyu."
Xiao Jibai was overjoyed and immediately made her a Consort of the First Rank.
But according to the script, Zhaoyu was actually a spy posing as a princess sent to wed for peace.
When her secret came to light, Xiao Jibai demanded in fury, "Why wear her face while betraying me?"
World Three [Thought]
Suspicious powerful minister x wife from the beginning
The emperor ruled Chang'an, while the Wei residence commanded a private army. Xiao Jibai, military governor of Weibo, was the most suspicious and brooding of them all. He could not tolerate divided loyalties, and anyone who showed the slightest sign of betrayal was doomed to die.
Zhaoyu was the wife who had accompanied him all along. One day, she merely exchanged a few extra words with an envoy from Chang'an, and he began to suspect her.
According to the script, she had to die protecting his ambitions at the moment he suspected her most.
World Four [Sorrow]
Sinister demon lord x healer
The demon lord showed no kindness to anyone in the Three Realms, except for the young healer by his side, whom he treated gently.
Before he remembered the healer's past and present lives together, the young healer lost all five senses and had her soul scattered.
World Five [Fear]
The Immortal Venerable of Fuyu Mountain had always cultivated the path of ruthlessness. No one knew that he had once dispersed most of his cultivation just to gather one person's soul, then bound that person inside his hall with an Immortal-Binding Rope...
