Yvette opens an otome game called Doki Doki: Great Sea Romance.
The game is famous among players for its high degree of freedom, extensive romance options, and the fact that every character can be pursued.
In the game, players can pursue men, women, and nonhuman characters. They can even raise a ship's affection and unlock a romance achievement.
Yvette enters the game and decides to begin her romance quest with the help of the System.
Her first target is a noble young master with bright red hair and an exalted status. With the System "Baibai" helping her, Yvette struggles to join the Holy Knights, trains and cultivates herself relentlessly, and finally defeats him. With his affection maxed out, she fakes her own death and makes her exit.
Her second target is a ship's doctor who can transform into a beautiful little bird. With the System "Mama" helping her, Yvette smoothly joins the crew as a nurse. She secretly learns from him and practices tirelessly, eventually challenging him for his position as chief physician. With his affection maxed out, she makes her exit in triumph.
Her third target is a gothic man who wears a mask and has enormous black wings. With the System "Longlong" helping her, Yvette becomes his underling as his most successful test subject. After joining him in enthusiastically praising their big boss, she becomes his most useful subordinate and tool, as well as his closest fellow fan. With his affection maxed out, she makes her exit in triumph.
Her fourth target is an Emperor of the Sea who wears floral beach shorts. With the System "Honghong" helping her, Yvette continually hones her skills and challenges him day after day. Once she becomes strong enough to stand by his side, she makes her exit in triumph with his affection maxed out.
After completing a circuit of romance targets, Yvette falls into an existential void. She decides to take on a greater challenge and, with guidance from "Baibai," "Mama," "Longlong," and "Honghong," sets out to win over the entire world.

Whitebeard has been a little troubled lately.
Every so often, he finds himself caught in some kind of hallucination. In it, a little girl calls him the System and asks him to help her pursue someone.
As if! Whitebeard has never pursued anyone in his life!
But life at sea is so boring that Whitebeard can't resist taking a curious look at the target the girl has chosen. Then he sees the face of a Celestial Dragon, a sight he detests.
Yvette: "Huh? Baibai, you don't like this target? Hmm... I think his dad still looks pretty good. How about we go after his dad instead?"
Whitebeard: "...No, wait, ugh!"
The target flatly refuses the tea Yvette brewed herself and offers him. "...Looks like his affection isn't high enough to unlock this kind of interaction yet."
Whitebeard: Could it be because drinking hot tea right after training is completely unnatural?
Blushing, Yvette gives the target a little doll she made herself and gazes at him hopefully, hoping to raise his affection.
Whitebeard: The first-person view is still way too much for me. And that's a doll? I thought Yvette had finally had enough and decided to stick pins into a voodoo doll to curse that brat with eyes on top of his head.
Yvette follows her target around, praising how cool he is with a sword, how strong he is, how slender his fingers are...
Whitebeard: I could already guess what was coming, so I closed my eyes. Now they're going to torture my ears too?!
After being forced to stay by Yvette's side through a series of painful-to-watch and painful-to-hear antics, Whitebeard looks at Yvette, whose romance progress is still at zero, and finally can't take it anymore. He calls over his dependable sons.
"Tell me, what kind of girl would you like?"
His sons: ???
