[Major revision underway. This story will be completed, and the revised version will replace this one.]
As usual, Shu He transmigrates into a world to avenge the original owner.
The original owner's mother remarried with her daughter in tow. The original owner was treated like unwanted baggage and bullied by her younger half-sister.
Her stepfather turned a blind eye. Life in that household was like hell for the original owner.
After the original owner died, she summoned Shu He.
Shu He is different. She's no pushover and knows how to fight back.
While carrying out her mission, Shu He meets Xuan Yu, who hides just how unfathomable he really is.
He says, "We're the same kind of people. We're both selfish."

The iron-fisted Shu He enters the rescue System, helping the dead original owners turn their lives around and saving their souls.
Once Shu He enters each world assigned by the System, she starts taking down scumbags. She punches a phoenix man who abuses his wife and lives off her family into the ground, then kicks a scheming homewrecker and con artist gay man flying.
She also gives a thorough beating to a school bully who torments his classmates, and to a mama's boy who leeches off his older sister.
How can these people ruin other people's lives and still expect to live happily ever after?
What a ridiculous fantasy!
The iron-fisted heroine is here, and the nightmare of paying their debts is just beginning for these people.
Coming soon: The Evil Cousin of the Doomsday Big Boss
Before bed, Ying Jiao opened Green River and read a post-apocalyptic angst novel.
In the story, the second male lead, Shen Qi, was deeply twisted. He kept causing trouble until the tragic couple, the male and female leads, ended up with a bad ending.
Ying Jiao saw such a beautiful love story ruined by that vicious, scheming second male lead!
Furious, she gave it a one-star review. "Is the author sick? Serving us this crap at the end! How did they come up with a revolting creature like the second male lead?"
Ying Jiao cried herself to sleep, then felt herself being jolted and pulled around...
When she opened her eyes, she found herself holding a bloodstained whip.
The seventeen-year-old boy before her was cool and aloof, covered in wounds, his clothes torn to shreds from the whipping.
"Sister, I did nothing wrong." Shen Qi looked up at her coldly and answered without emotion.
Only then did Ying Jiao realize that she had transmigrated into the post-apocalyptic angst novel and become Shen Qi's evil cousin.

Shen Qi only learned later that a chip had been implanted in his body when he was young. He was destined to become an emotionless AI.
If he ever fell in love and his emotions fluctuated, the evil EAG organization would detect his whereabouts.
It turned out that his cousin Ying Jiao, who had always abused him, had once been an observer for EAG. Back then, she couldn't bear to see Shen Qi have his emotional nerves removed and become a tool for the organization to commit evil.
Ying Jiao escaped with Shen Qi.
To keep Shen Qi from experiencing any emotions, Ying Jiao resorted to the most foolish and extreme methods.
In the end, the chip in Shen Qi's brain was removed.
But Ying Jiao, who had defected from EAG, was severely punished by the organization that very day and blasted to ashes...
Even so, Shen Qi still ended up following the same dark and twisted path as in the original story.

The original owner used these two words too frequently, making them very verbose to read.
I read it in one go, so cool!
