To learn the art of conversation, Sui He got herself a highly customizable VR dating sim.
From the start, she drew a mental trait called "Purification," which could heal all negative emotions and calm people down.
And so...
An unwelcome guest showed up in her dorm: a young man whose gender was hard to tell, gravely injured, with a bloodstained face and a captivating smile.
The moment Sui He met his eyes, she sensed something was off and immediately reported him to the school authorities.
Sure enough, the man was a notorious fugitive wanted across the stars.
A genius boy with top-tier talent, the focus of everyone's attention this year, took a liking to her and declared that Sui He would be the only member of his team.
Sui He furrowed her brow, feeling that he was becoming a burden on her daily life, and decided to keep an eye on him in secret.
Sure enough, the genius was a monster lord disguised as a human, intent on wiping out humanity.
The empire's general, aloof as a flower on a high peak, only ever gave her the time of day. He made exceptions for her again and again, nearly breaking interstellar law.
Sui He took one look and decided he was up to no good, so she secretly gathered information on him.
Sure enough, the general was plotting to usurp the throne. Everything was ready, and all he needed was the right opportunity.
Everyone was awestruck the first time they saw Sui He. Her appearance was pure and sacred, with a beauty that seemed to mourn for all living things. Unfortunately, she also had a mouth that could make everyone furious enough to yell at her for being an idiot.
But thanks to her mental trait, just when everyone was about to lose it, she would purify them, leaving them teetering on the brink of an emotional outburst.
In the end, the fugitive wanted across the stars, the monster lord disguised as a human, the general plotting to usurp the throne... everyone knelt before her, eyes red, begging her to shut up.
Sui He looked at them as if they were clowns. "You're getting worked up because I hit a nerve, aren't you?"
System: ...
Just destroy everything. I'm tired.

Though she was lacking in every way, with the help of the System and its save-and-load feature, Sui He still managed to achieve a happy ending. She became a rising star of the empire, a guardian of the universe, and its officially appointed savior...
With all those titles attached to her name, Sui He was about to claim her reward when she suddenly came to her senses.
"Wait..."
"I thought this was a dating sim?!"
She opened the strategy screen. Every target's affection level was maxed out.
Sui He (frowning): Is the game bugged?
System: ...No, you scattered their ashes. Why do they still have max affection for you?
