Yan Qingluan can't stand transmigrators who rely on their golden fingers and arrogantly mess everything up. They're like actors who take it upon themselves to ad-lib scenes, the kind directors hate most. When the plot goes off course and butterfly effects create loopholes, aren't NPCs always the ones left to take the fall?
Yan Qingluan is that unlucky NPC, or, to put it more nicely, the regional manager of this world.
For years, she's worked diligently and tirelessly with the System, traveling through world after world and playing all kinds of roles.
But because of one transmigrator, she's been stuck in this novel for three whole lifetimes and hasn't been able to get out!!! She's eaten three whole lifetimes' worth of Shadow Guard Camp boxed lunches! Years of hard work nearly went to waste, and this working stiff's mental state has completely collapsed. It all comes down to those self-important lunatics who think being the heroine gives them the right to do whatever they want!
"Look at this! Ever heard of the heroine's halo? I'm the chosen one!"
Yan: "If the Heavenly Dao is blind, I guess I'm just unlucky."
(Any chance I can return this now?)
"And what about this? Ever heard of a System? Want to learn about golden fingers?"
Yan: "Why would I need to hear about that... It's a coworker of mine."
(More likely to ruin things than get anything done.)
"But who would fall in love with an NPC? I'm different. This is true love, get it? The male and female leads are destined to be together!"
A certain prince was the first to roar, "Shut up! That's nonsense! There's nothing between us! Luan'er, believe me!"
(Pah! What a bad omen.)
(A diligent and devoted Shadow Guard heroine, with enough secret identities to keep her warm through winter.)
A sweet romance where love grows over time. Reborn, devoted to each other, and no angst. They already have feelings for each other from the start. The heroine is rather rough around the edges. It's a fictional setting, so don't expect historical accuracy. Content warnings... I don't really understand what everyone considers a dealbreaker, so I've given up. If this bothers you, please don't force yourself to read it. Spare me.
Theme: (Hard work is the mother of success)
