[Western Crossover] Seeking Justice, Building a Business in Middle-earth

[League's Brutal Reworking] [Road to Domination in Middle-earth's Second Age] [Nontraditional Otome] [Plot-Driven]

Qin Yuelang, an amnesiac Eastern Taoist master, wanders through an unjust world where heroes have turned against one another.

For the sake of her mission, and to find her way home, she sends her resume to many influential figures here.

Startup phase - Amazon princess: A goddess who doesn't want to be queen isn't a good goddess.

Qin Yuelang: ...Should I start out as a priestess?

Penniless - Robin II: Doctor Qin?

Qin Yuelang: Working for love? No thanks.

Successful entrepreneur - Lord of Order: (studies her face) You're beautiful. I'll think about it.

Qin Yuelang: Are you... looking to hire a mascot?

Successful entrepreneur - Lord of Order: No. I want a favored consort.

Rich kid - famous fallen angel: Would you sell your soul?

Qin Yuelang: Well... if the pay's high enough, we can talk.

After enduring countless hardships, she finally made it home. Her fellow villagers gave her such a stern talking-to that she came to her senses: working for other people has no future!

She decided to take a chance and never work for anyone else again.

Qin Yuelang: I don't want to work for anyone anymore.

Wizard: Then you might have to become a lord.

Qin Yuelang: I'll think about it.

Reader's guide:

1. May appeal to otome readers. The unjust-world arc covers her job applications and potential collaborators; the Middle-earth arc includes various lords and kings.

2. Semi-open ending, with the romantic pairing hinted at in the bonus chapters.

3. The unjust-world storyline and the Middle-earth storyline are relatively independent.

4. If anything feels too out of character or inappropriate, feel free to point it out or offer corrections in a reasonable manner.

Theme: If there is no torch to be found, then I shall be the only light.
