After the System Crashed [Anthology]

[Coming Soon: After Saving the Devoted Second Male Lead in Disguise] Please add it to your collection. Several System Hosts were caught in a temporal storm while traveling between worlds and dumped in an unknown place. No one cared whether they lived or died. After their Systems crashed, all their mission points and rewards went down the drain, so they had to fend for themselves. The Hosts: So we don't have to do missions anymore? What a great deal! So the Hosts set up a group chat and spent every day chatting and complaining. Now that they didn't have to do missions, what should they do instead? How about falling in love? Ding! Welcome to the Temporal Storm Victim Hosts group chat. Please fill in your basic information and briefly describe your situation in 100 characters or less. [1] An unambitious couch potato * a reclusive, stranded mermaid Li Yu: I came to this island to vacation, but I didn't expect to find a young sea-clan master hiding out here, afflicted by demonic energy and suffering from reclusion. He's from a very powerful family, too. His family offered me a lot of money to help him come out of his shell. Should I take the job? [2] A short-tempered straight woman with limited patience * a proud, sharp-tongued man whose tongue got even sharper after he lost his memory Li Simeng: I really didn't expect my childhood friend to become a System Host just like me, and then get hit with a cheesy amnesia plot. His mouth is so vicious! Argh! I want to punch him! [3] A wealthy philanthropist doing charity work in the apocalypse * a future villain who owes her money and wants to repay her with his body Jiang Niannian: Day three of using love and kindness to reform the future villain (tentatively). No signs of turning evil yet. As long as he lets me live and protects the environment in the future, I don't mind if he never pays me back. [4] An incredibly unlucky little streamer who's great at games * a young master who has to inherit the family fortune if he doesn't get serious about gaming Han Mei: The young master next door came to play a full-immersion game with me again. He even promoted me online as a gaming expert and a lucky charm. How do I make him understand that, except when I'm buying him gear, my luck is absolutely terrible? [5] ... A series of standalone stories, each with a different male and female lead. They're all sweet romances. Each story is around 80,000 characters, so they build up fast. Please add it to your collection. A fictional setting, extremely fictional. One update a day at first, then three a day later on. Bonus updates will drop at random. Next story: After Saving the Devoted Second Male Lead in Disguise My cheap husband has been looking at me strangely lately. I suspect my secret identities have been exposed. The question is, which one of my five, six, seven, or eight identities has he discovered? After transmigrating into a book, Pei Xi became the vicious supporting female character who was infatuated with the male lead, jealous of the female lead, and did every evil thing imaginable. By this point, she'd already successfully engineered a chance encounter with the devoted second male lead. She planned to marry him, use him to get close to the male lead, and then rush toward the bad ending where she was stabbed to death. The second male lead, Liu Hongyue, was easygoing and friendly to everyone, but ice-cold toward Pei Xi. In the future, he'd kill her with a single slash. The original body's health was simply too poor. Pei Xi pressed a hand to her chest and spat out blood. Staying alive came first. If all else failed, she'd run away. It didn't matter if her poor health kept her from going out. She had a Secret Identity System. An invincible war god, a qin player, a miracle doctor... She could go out and have fun as any one of them. Then, whether the second male lead became a plot device for the male and female leads or fell into demonic madness and killed himself over unrequited love, it would have nothing to do with her! System notification: The second male lead is in danger after taking a blade for the female lead. Go rescue him immediately. Failure penalty: Delete all Secret Identities. Pei Xi: Damn it. A kind of plant. From then on, whenever the female lead did something reckless, Liu Hongyue would go save her. Whenever Liu Hongyue got into trouble saving someone, Pei Xi would put on a Secret Identity and rescue him. Afterward, she'd appeal to his feelings and reason with him, telling him to treasure his life. Pei Xi: Please, stop saving people. Liu Hongyue: Actually, I wasn't saving her... Pei Xi: No need to explain. I know you love her. Liu Hongyue: ... The next day, Pei Xi expertly changed into a Secret Identity and went to save someone. She found Liu Hongyue, who should have been gravely injured while protecting the female lead, pinning the woman he loved... against the wall and beating her. Pei Xi: ? Liu Hongyue: What are you doing here, Madam? You're in poor health. Be careful not to catch a chill. Pei Xi: ...You scared my Secret Identity right off me. Liu Hongyue felt that strange things had been happening lately. Whenever he ran into danger, a passing miracle doctor, sword cultivator, or demon beast would save his life and then berate him. Miracle doctor: Look at that wound from taking a blade. You're seriously ill. You're a lost cause, so just wait to die. Sword cultivator: Forgive me for saying so, but are you selling swords? Demon beast: Aow aow aow aow, grrr, blah blah blah Even though they insulted him, he didn't get angry. Instead, he inexplicably felt his heart stir. Liu Hongyue clutched his chest. This can't be. I'm devoted to my wife! A drama queen who switches between countless Secret Identities but becomes a total coward without one * a doting man who falls in love at first sight with every Secret Identity and questions his own sanity One-on-one romance. The male lead only loves the female lead, and the devoted second male lead's characterization is fake. Theme: Even in adversity, remain optimistic and confident, and become a person with inner strength.
