The Hated Villainess Keeps Breaking Character [Interstellar]

[Not actually complete, unlocked now, just marked complete]

Yan Jin transmigrated into a book, becoming a universally disliked, love-struck fool whose father ignored her, whose mother didn't love her, and whose own brother thought she was useless.

According to the original story, after confessing to four powerful men, she was supposed to lean back in a tactical maneuver, die dramatically and romantically in the bushes, then complete her mission and hurry home.

But who could have expected this: she died, but couldn't leave.

System: Sorry, there was an error. Please stay in the story world a little longer, Host.

Yan Jin, who had lost two liters of blood, just been pronounced dead at the hospital, and was about to be put in a coffin: ???

To stay in the story world without arousing suspicion, Yan Jin decided to abandon her secret identity and make a clean break. Instead, the System promptly sold her off to a desolate planet teeming with mutated creatures.

There are no weapons here. If you want to live, monsters will chew you up.

There is no medicine here. If you get bitten, you can only die...

Yan Jin: So you brought me here to wait for death?

System: No, congratulations, Host! You've unlocked the frontier development instance!

To complete the frontier development instance and protect the planet's native inhabitants, Yan Jin gritted her teeth, put on her shoddy secret identity, and entered the simulated combat tournament.

But then something strange happened: the powerful men who had rejected her before, and now regretted it bitterly, began showing up one after another to declare their love for her.

Powerful Man One: You're Yan Jin? Come back to me, will you?

Yan Jin: Hand-to-hand combat or ranged attacks? You choose.

Powerful Man Two: Being with you was the happiest time of my life...

Yan Jin: I've lost my memory.

Powerful Man Three: Xiao Jin, you said I was your favorite...

Yan Jin: One.

Powerful Man Four: Just how many people have you pursued?

Yan Jin: ...

System: Warning, warning! The male leads have all appeared. Keep up your innocent, delicate, love-struck persona...

Yan Jin, who had just stabbed Powerful Man Four in the back: Huh? What was that?

Once universally loathed, now a menace to all, Yan Jin had less and less to say, and fought more and more viciously.

Everyone knew Yan Jin had entered the tournament to get weapons for the planet's native inhabitants.

But just as she was about to deliver the final blow to her opponent and claim the championship, she discovered that the weapon was the prize for second place...

Yan Jin gave a cold laugh, then turned around and stabbed herself with her own knife.

After the first round, fans angrily denounced her: Yan Jin is a coward!

After the second round, fans trembled in horror: Why did she come second again?

By the Nth round, all the contestants were forfeiting and running away.

Later, the tournament gained a fan-favorite star who everyone raved about: Yan Jin, the precise score manipulator and eternal runner-up.

And one discussion thread remained perpetually hot: How do we stop Yan Jin from stabbing herself with her own knife?

[Blurb for the upcoming novel, Raising Fish in an Otome Game Backfired on Me]

After being trapped in an otome game,

Pei Xunjin becomes a junior sister, a demon-clan villainess acting as a spy in a cultivation sect.

System: Player, you can leave the game only after successfully completing one male lead's happy ending route!

Pei Xunjin: ...

Do you have any idea that just fifteen minutes ago, the original owner stole the precious coral beads belonging to Male Lead One, broke them into marbles, and tossed them into the teacup of the blind Male Lead Two? She gave the remaining red cord to Male Lead Three to make the heroine misunderstand him, and was planning to pin the blame on Male Lead Four?

System: Sweetie, although you don't have the heroine's halo, we've maxed out your talent and combat stats. Even if you're not used to it, you can catch a blade barehanded every time!

Pei Xunjin: Does having high combat stats mean I can successfully romance them???

Not laughing anymore :-D

With no romance guide and no affection notifications,

she can only do her best to protect her secret identity while blindly pursuing her fish-raising project, trying to win over all four male leads at once from every angle.

To the helpless little merfolk, she is gentle and considerate: "I'll be your family."

To the blind senior brother who will eventually fall to the dark side, she appeals to his feelings: "Senior Brother, from now on, I'll be your eyes."

To the demon who came in pursuit of the heroine, his unattainable true love, she says through tearful eyes: "Your eyes are full of her. When will you ever look at me?"

To the little green-tea schemer, a walking lie detector who infiltrated the sect with her in pursuit of a secret manual, she chooses compassion: "I understand how difficult things are for you. From now on, I'll share every hardship and every burden with you."

Then one day, the System finally came online with the promised affection chart.

Looking at four big, red zeros, Pei Xunjin fell into deep thought.

What a lousy game. I'm done!

Just as Pei Xunjin gave up on romancing the male leads and started down the path of cultivation, the System suddenly sent her a message: "Sweetie! Our affection chart counts down. Zero means full affection! If you don't get back to the story, the male leads will turn evil!"

Pei Xunjin: ...

She had already defeated the Five Peaks, Three Sects, and Eight Clans.

What a stupid romance game. Cultivation is way better.

A goofy heroine with top-tier strength and speed. Her talent and cultivation stats are maxed out from the start, but she needs constant combat experience to get used to them and learn how to use them.
