This is a story about a System forcing two women together.
The main setting is modern times, but all the missions take place in ancient times. The plot comes first, with romance woven in, and the relationship develops slowly.
Characters: A cool but gentle university lecturer x a lively, somewhat scatterbrained designer
Side couple: A clever, scheming Second Princess who loves to tease x a charming, free-spirited, wealthy restaurant owner
Blurb 1:
What can they do when a System assigns them missions? Naturally, they have to buckle down and earnestly win over their targets. But they never expected...
Lin Zhi / Yu Qing'an: System! What exactly did you bring me here for?
System (weak, pitiful, and helpless): To complete missions.
Lin Zhi / Yu Qing'an: Say that again!
System (self-righteous): To give you a chance to pursue someone!
Lin Zhi / Yu Qing'an: Oh, thank you so very much!
Blurb 2:
At first: You told me I should say it if I didn't like something, but you never told me what to do if I liked you. - Lin Zhi
Lin Zhi still hadn't learned how to express her feelings. Just as she was thrilled that she could finally live under the same roof as the person she loved, the System forced her to complete missions. The missions weren't what worried her. It was the person she couldn't let go of.
Yu Qing'an hadn't expected that just as she was celebrating finally moving out and gaining her freedom, she would become truly free by being tossed by the System into another world. She wasn't worried about the people there, but about how to complete her missions.
World One: There are actually two people in this world who look like the person I can't stop thinking about. One is my target, and the other looks even more like her, but why is she kind of silly? Lin Zhi thought to herself. But as she slowly worked on winning over her target, why had the silly one become so much livelier? She even made Lin Zhi miss that person more and more. She just had to finish the mission quickly so she could go back and see her.
Yu Qing'an hadn't expected the System to be so kind as to arrange a powerful ally for her. Completing the mission with her should be a piece of cake. But the longer she looked at her, the more she seemed like that gentle older sister from Earth.
World Two: So I wasn't the only one completing the mission. There was someone else, too, and even more amazingly, it was the person I'd been thinking about all along. Lin Zhi gave the System a thumbs-up.
She never expected to gain a lover just by completing missions, and that lover had been by her side all along. But couldn't the System have told her sooner? Yu Qing'an complained about the System.
Later: I don't need you to watch over me. I like you. Come closer. - Yu Qing'an
You never taught me, but I think I know what to do if I like you. - Lin Zhi
There are many liberties taken with the ancient setting. Please don't nitpick the historical details.
