At the end of time, he was doing everything he could to find her;
while at the beginning of time, she was waiting for his conquest mission.
[First Timeline activated. Host, reach 100% affection with the Crown Prince within one year and stop the corpse poison from spreading and bringing about the apocalypse one year from now.]
Gu Nian, a ruthless apocalypse big shot who transmigrated to the Eastern Palace, mused:
A real-life otome game, with a gruesome, bloody romance theme? That's right up my alley!
Your Highness the Crown Prince, with a zombification rate of 67%, you've got my attention.
How should I win you over today?
Should I play the devoted, doting concubine, soft as a boneless creature as I straddle your rotting waist?
Or should I be the stand-in for the white moonlight you keep calling out for?
The target of her advances gripped her waist and let out a strangely sick, low laugh, something dark and unspeakable hidden in his heart.
"My poisonous blood has seeped into your wound."
His rotting lips bit her earlobe. "Are you afraid?"
Gu Nian stared at the System's skill panel: [100% immunity to corpse poison] [Regeneration] [Rotten-odor isolation] [Pain suppression]...
She grabbed his maggot-ridden waist and buried her face in his neck, biting deeply into the rotting flesh that tasted of sweet osmanthus wine.
"This humble woman is so scared, Your Highness. Please hold me tight."
Under his astonished gaze, she wrapped herself even more tightly around his decaying body.
[Rottenness has dropped to 50%. Please use more intimate contact to treat him.]
Gu Nian's shocked expression: Oh? The kind that gets censored?
Is that something a free System like you is allowed to watch?
Gu Nian, who loved otome games, immersed herself in this "delightful" game, playing all kinds of roles. A month later, the Crown Prince's affection was climbing and his zombification rate was dropping. Just as everything seemed to be going smoothly, the master of the Eastern Palace shackled her and laughed savagely.
"Lady Gu, since you want so badly to be Sang Sang's replacement, I'll grant your wish!"
"I'll use your body as a vessel for Sang Sang's soul."
The soul-summoning formation was activated!
What the heck? After working so hard at this game for a whole month, this was the ending it unlocked for her? The biggest failure in her gaming history!
[System, I refuse to accept this! I want to start the conquest over!]
[Congratulations, Host. Your approach to the conquest was so unhinged that you brought the apocalypse forward. The second timeline, set in the Eastern Palace three years earlier, is now activated.]
[Transfer successful. You are Zhao Qiaosang, the General's legitimate daughter. Good luck saving the world in this timeline!]
Three years later... Having achieved only 75% of the System's mission, Gu Nian failed again. Punished by the System to forget the "most important person," she returned to the first timeline!
Third time's the charm. Surely I'll save the world this time!
