The NPC's Great Escape

[Updated daily~ Please add my next book, I Turned the Players into Bosses, to your reading list~]

Duoduo discovers a secret: the world she lives in is an otome game, her employer Lu Xun is a boss, and she is just a tool meant to help the players bring him down.

Duoduo, a hardworking employee who cherishes her job, says: No way!

As she keeps thwarting the players, Duoduo discovers that Boss Lu Xun has a mind of his own, and is also a hopeless romantic? The game creator wants to use her as nourishment to feed her NPC boyfriend?

So they escape together. From The Thorned Throne to Idol Paradise to I Am the True God of the Stars, they take their game abilities with them and break completely free of the games, becoming new life forms.

#The first game is relatively long and serves as the main storyline. Their relationship is established in this game. In the later games, they always get separated first, then find each other again.

#Male lead: A steady, cunning adult man, but a hopeless romantic.#

Lu Xun has a secret: he has a mind of his own.

When players come to the villa to cause trouble, he remains unruffled. What amazes him, though, is that Duoduo, the flower demon NPC, has stopped helping the players and is now protecting him.

After seeing Duoduo work so hard for him, Lu Xun falls for her: He's got to find a way to elope.

Luoluo is a popular guide sprite in an infinite-loop game. Countless players compete every day for the chance to summon her, but ever since she was summoned by an anonymous level-zero player, she hasn't seen another player.

The first day after being summoned:

Luoluo: "Welcome, new player! Open your inventory to check your gear."

The player obediently opens their inventory.

Luoluo: "It's okay if it's empty. Luoluo will give you... !!! Why do you have a whole pile of SSS-rank gear?!"

The player receives a quest, and Luoluo opens the quest panel.

Luoluo: "Let's see. The first quest is to clear out every creature in the ruins. We can team up with other players. Wait! Why do the players have health bars in your view? This has to be a bug!"

After being summoned for n days straight:

Luoluo: "Could you log off and take a break? Or maybe try a different guide NPC? Nobody's ever beaten the boss on this map you're going to, so I really don't know what to do."

But the moment they enter the map, a message appears: "Welcome back, King, at max level."

Luoluo watches as the player's previously blank ID displays the name of the current boss: Ji He. She freezes. Oh no, the bug has gotten even worse.
