Qi Feng, founder of horror romance games, has spent his life dreaming of a world where everyone plays the horror romance games he designs.
He worked himself to the bone for that goal, forgetting to eat and sleep, until at last, just as expected, he dropped dead in the middle of the night.
After being dragged back out of the underworld following his sudden death, Qi Feng resolved to live well and diligently meet the KPI targets assigned by the underworld, so he could be successfully resurrected and return to his great work designing horror romance games.
[World One: What's Wrong with a Ghost Marriage? Ghost Marriage Can Be Pure Love Too!]
"You're a male college student who sneaks away from home to experience rural tourism in Qishan Village. You're a coward, but you want to prove you're not, so you come along with a few no-good friends.
You discover that Qishan Village is a strange place. The villagers look lifeless, and they worship some kind of evil god.
Crying in the middle of the night, friends disappearing without a trace, and paper effigies with your friends' faces...
You're getting scared, so you decide to leave that very night.
Unfortunately, the enraged villagers catch you and drag you back.
Half-conscious, you hear them say they're going to sacrifice you to the evil god through a ghost marriage..."
Qi Feng, enthusiastically raising his hand: I know! My mission is to find my one true love amid this Chinese-style horror!
System: To hell with love! Your mission is to play the dim-witted college student who lets his lower brain control his upper brain and follow the death-seeking plot!

"Your parents' plane crashed not long ago. The only thing they left you is a younger brother who isn't related to you by blood.
You can barely look after yourself, let alone take care of this frail younger brother who has suddenly appeared and seems close to dying of illness.
You decide to send him away.
But on the night before he's due to leave, you happen to hear your younger brother 'sobbing' in his room.
Your heart softens, so you decide to raise him yourself.
But before long, you realize that more and more strange things are happening in your home..."
Qi Feng, looking thoughtful: I know! My mission is to take good care of my frail, helpless younger brother, cure his illness, and help him find love!
System, speechless: To hell with you and your hopeless romantic brain! Your mission is to play the timid older brother, follow the plot, and then die!

"You are the Marshal's most outstanding son. At a young age, the Marshal has already groomed you as his successor. As the person with the highest standing in the Marshal's residence after the Marshal himself, you often use your position to look after the women in the household.
Among them is the Marshal's nineteenth concubine, your stepmother.
Late at night, you often listen to 'her' confide in you about the hardships of life and the servants' mistreatment.
Your heart softens, and you decide to help 'her' escape.
After sending your stepmother away, you discover that people in the residence have started dying..."
Qi Feng, nodding as if deep in thought: I know this one! My mission is to help my stepmother find a new love!
System, breaking down: A new love my ass! Your mission is to play the lustful young marshal whose lower brain controls his upper brain, flirt with everyone, and be the first one killed!
