I Beat the Infinite Escape Game with Sweet Talk

[Complete! The new story is in my author page! Come take a look!]

In the middle of a nap, Lin Ziqing is pulled into a horror game. In the dream, she must find the answers to scattered clues and solve the puzzles, then kill the vengeful ghosts to escape alive.

Faced with a high-difficulty mission, Lin Ziqing says: No way!

Kill ghosts? Is that something a person is supposed to do?

Why not just compliment them?

So while everyone else diligently kills ghosts, she diligently dishes out compliments.

Faced with a long-haired female ghost:

Lin Ziqing: Sis, your hair is so long and silky!

Faced with the ultimate boss, the great Ghost King:

Lin Ziqing: ...Holy crap, his clothes can't even hide them. He's got an eight-pack!

Ghost King: ...

With her honey-sweet little mouth, Lin Ziqing showers everyone with compliments, starting a full-blown praise group right inside the horror game. The ghosts she praises say: My ghost heart is fluttering! Lin Ziqing is so cute! [Affection skyrockets]

Ghost King: …

Later on.

Roommates: Qingbao, you look pale. Is something wrong? Can we help?

Lin Ziqing: I have something to tell you. You have to promise not to freak out.

Roommates: We're your roommates, we won't be scared. Go ahead.

Lin Ziqing: A ghost from my dream just confessed to me.

Roommates: Which ghost was it?

Lin Ziqing: Not a particular one, just... You know what a nightmare is? A ghost I saw in one. And after he said that, something even scarier happened!

Roommate: What happened?

Lin Ziqing: (lowering her voice) I think I might be a little into him too.

Roommates: [Deep respect] [Qingbao chugs beer.jpg]

...New story: "Why Can't I Win Over This Paper Character?"...

Lin Yin is an otome game fan. One day, on her way home, someone hands her a game flyer. The flashy paper boasts in huge letters: "Experience love like never before! The century's greatest immersive otome game, 'Impossible to Move,' is here! Meet the most handsome and hardest-to-win-over male lead in history!"

Lin Yin: Just a trick to boost downloads! The hardest to win over? In the end, it'll just be mutual unrequited love. Let me expose this sham!

The male lead is named Song Shiyi. He's handsome and aloof, dressed in a military uniform and devastatingly good-looking. Even lying unconscious in a nutrient pod with his eyes closed is enough to make Lin Yin cover her mouth and squeal.

I don't know if he's really the hardest to win over in history, but the most handsome part seems to be true!

First recharge for one yuan? Buy!

Limited-time six-yuan pack? Buy!

After throwing bundle after bundle of beginner gifts at him, Song Shiyi finally... opens his eyes.

Lin Yin, the money-spending savior, blinks expectantly, hoping the man will say something sweet. But Song Shiyi opens his eyes, surveys his surroundings, then parts his thin lips and says coldly: "Hmph."

Lin Yin: ??? You jerk!

She clears three chapters, taps to chat, schedules good-night messages and sends early-morning greetings. She grinds away at nutrient supplements just to nurse him back to health. She spends 648 yuan, and his body gets better by the day, but his expression never changes. His affection score remains a pitiful: +1.

He doesn't even talk!

Lin Yin can't believe it. Lin Yin is furious. Lin Yin opens a webpage and searches: What do I do if I can't win over a paper character?

Top answer: Spend money to change your fate.

Lin Yin: ...Really? I don't believe it.

Song Shiyi was betrayed while on a military mission, critically wounded in an explosion and left for dead in enemy territory. When he wakes, he's in a strange place.

Nutrient supplements that refill themselves, fragrant breakfasts, a girl's playful voice in the mysteriously appearing good-morning and good-night messages, and the sense that someone is tending to his wounds and looking after him in the empty house.

Song Shiyi: ...Could some woman among the enemy leaders have forced her love on me?

This is a disaster.
