On the surface: calm, rational high school heroine x socially anxious, devoted college student hero
Underneath: hidden powerhouse x brooding ghostly obsessive

Liang Ating never imagined that she'd be dragged into an infinite System game, of all things. She was a student preparing for the college entrance exam!
She still had to sit the exam, and now she had to find ways to stay alive around the NPCs while also watching out for the dirty tricks the System played on her.
System: Hee hee, here's a debuff for you.
Fever, headaches, stomach cramps...
Liang Ating figured the System would eventually get her killed in one of the instances.
Then one day, she ran into an especially difficult NPC, suffered a serious head injury, and lost consciousness. When she woke up, the NPC had been chopped into minced meat, and all the players were looking at her differently.
They said she was the one who had chopped the NPC into that state.
Liang Ating: What? I'm just an ordinary senior in high school.
That's when she realized there seemed to be a powerful expert attached to her.
Later, even the NPCs started looking at her strangely, not just the players.
What did they mean, “Why have you come back?”
What did they mean, “This time, I won't let you escape so easily”?
Liang Ating finally caught on.
She might be the powerful expert herself.

When Si Ji opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was that girl.
Her eyes brimmed with vibrant life.
He couldn't help being drawn to her, and he was certain that everything she did was right.
When she kept pushing the NPC to the brink of losing its temper...
Other players: Are you crazy!?
Si Ji: Strike first. She's so clever.
When she excitedly swung an axe and chopped off the NPC's head...
Other players: You're the most terrifying thing here!
Si Ji: One-hit kill. She's so kind.
When she announced that she was going to destroy the System and take everyone home...
Other players: You'll die! You can't beat it.
Si Ji: She can do it. She definitely can.
When she gave her hair ties to her teammates...
Si Ji: .
Then Si Ji: (secretly gathering up all the hair ties she'd given away and slipping them around his wrist)
They understood each other perfectly, as if they'd known each other for ages, even though they'd first spoken only after entering the instance.
But one day, Si Ji suddenly remembered that he'd once kissed a cold pair of lips, tears streaming down his face, with the scent of the girl's hair filling his nose.
The girl's name was Liang Ating.
