The heroine transmigrates into a book with a System, saving and loading, and cutting a swath through everything. It's the standard power fantasy setup.
Too bad Jiang Mingyue isn't the heroine. She's the heroine's older sister.
Worst of all, every time the game reloads, she keeps her memories.
Onstage, she once gave the same speech seven times in a row without changing her expression. The reason was that the heroine, who was due to go on next, wanted more time to prepare.
In the exam hall, she once calmly rewrote the same essay six times. The reason was that the heroine was scratching her head and trying to figure out how to solve the problem.
On the track, she once ran the 800 meters ten times without stopping. The reason was that the heroine running after her wanted to finish the novel in her hands before starting.
Jiang Mingyue: "..."
Ahhh, I'm going crazy! I'm going crazy!!!
Rather than keep reliving everything while fully aware, she'd rather know nothing, just like everyone else.
Fortunately, after trying several things, she finally found a way out.
As long as she stayed far enough away from the heroine, the heroine's reloads wouldn't affect her, and she wouldn't retain her memories.
So as soon as the college entrance exams were over, Jiang Mingyue quickly applied to a university as far away from the heroine as possible. They could be at opposite ends of the country. If she could avoid seeing her, all the better.
She thought that was the end of it, but three years later, she was forced to experience 108 different ways to die.
Burned alive...
[Reload]
Drowned by suffocation...
[Reload]
Strangled by a rope...
[Reload]
Hacked to pieces...
[Reload]
In the midst of unbearable despair and pain, she vaguely heard indistinct voices talking.
"Oh no, I can't refresh any items that increase ***'s affection!"
"That doesn't make sense. On the *** affection list, everyone else has a negative score or zero. Big Sis is the only one with a positive score, and it's maxed out. I should at least be able to get an item that gives +5 affection!"
"System, is there a bug? Why is Big Sis's affection for me dropping too? It used to be 80, and now it's almost negative. Is it because of all the deaths and reloads?"
"Ugh, forget it. We've reloaded more than seventy times, and we don't have many points left. Let's leave it."
"Big Sis's affection is negative now, so she costs me points every day. Then maybe..."
As the cold, mechanical voice spoke, Jiang Mingyue lost consciousness completely.
When she opened her eyes again, it was six years earlier, just after she'd started high school. Her younger sister, who looked about 50 percent like her, was smiling at her and sweetly calling, "Big Sis!"
Coming soon: "I Opened a Dungeon in a Republican-Era Novel"
Xie Xi woke up to find she'd become the cannon-fodder female character in the Republican-era novel "The Young Marshal's Runaway Wife," the young marshal's former fiancee who had come from the countryside to seek refuge with him.
In the original story, the young marshal's family looked down on her but didn't want to earn a reputation for ingratitude, so they subjected her to all kinds of cold violence until she wasted away and died in their enormous courtyard.
Xie Xi: "..." No thanks. I'll pass.
Bound to a game System, with magnificent, splendid dungeons and endless possibilities in life, why settle for one little corner of the world?
It was a turbulent era, when old and new ideas clashed. Amid the trials of blood and fire, countless pioneers fought for the backbone of their nation, willing to give their lives and shed their blood.
Xie Xi entered dungeon after dungeon without hesitation.
After clearing the [Angry Potato] dungeon, she became Yuecheng's most mysterious granary;
After clearing the [City of Firearms] dungeon, she became the highest source of military technology;
After clearing the [Raging Metal] dungeon, she became a covert materials supply station;
After clearing the [Whispers of the Hospital] dungeon, she built Yuecheng's medical system from the ground up;
The road was hard. She was a guide, a participant, one among thousands.
She pressed forward without fear, ready to die a hundred times without regret.
