This is an otome game world where players develop romantic relationships with five conquest targets. One of them is Nie Youjun, the "Spring Breeze Sword," who has a bodhisattva's face and a compassionate heart, and is gentle and warm to everyone.
Song Yuman, a general worker at Swordcry Manor: What does that have to do with me?
System: "You're an orphan girl who fell in love at first sight with the young master, Nie Youjun, after he rescued you and brought you back to the manor. But your inferiority complex over your status warped your mind, and you did all sorts of dark, twisted things to him. In the end, you watch him and the player live happily ever after... So why haven't you done anything yet?"
Song Yuman: ...Because I transmigrated into this world!
"Refuse, and you might get struck by lightning."
Afraid of dying, Song Yuman quickly gave in. But after years of social anxiety, she couldn't bring herself to approach Nie Youjun. The System had no choice but to pull them both into a dream and help her play out the plot there.
So, fighting through her embarrassment, Song Yuman played a maid who secretly hid the young master's clothes, a younger sister who stalked and spied on her stepbrother, a doctor who used wound treatment as an excuse to feel up a swordsman, a fake wife who seduced her amnesiac, blind husband, and a female ghost who clung to a young Taoist priest to suck out his yang energy...
In the end, she completed every mission and sent the System on its way.

Nie Youjun thought he had gone mad. Without warning, he began having strange dreams. His identity changed from one dream to the next, but in every one he became entangled with the same woman. Yet once he woke, he could never remember her face.
That woman was gloomy yet bold, clingy yet shy. She couldn't get enough of his clothes, belongings, and scent, constantly overwhelming him. Gradually, he went from shocked resistance to secretly looking forward to it.
He thought he would be lost in this forever, but one day the dreams suddenly stopped. The fear of being abandoned and his forbidden desires grew wilder by the day, nearly driving him into demonic cultivation.
He began frantically searching for the person from his dreams. At last, he noticed the familiar calluses on the fingers of a servant girl practicing swordplay with a broom.

Song Yuman realized Nie Youjun was clinging to her.
He was infatuated with her, devoted to her, and utterly obedient. Whenever he looked at her, his gaze was fixed and intense. He even offered her the delicate chain around his neck. It was completely different from his usual image of a bright, moonlit breeze, leaving her breaking out in a cold sweat and shivering with dread. She was constantly reminded of how she'd once played a lovesick woman.
"You made me unable to live without you, Manman. Are you happy now?"
