Su Yunqing can be reborn infinitely, yet in every world she's a loser, disgraced and doomed to a miserable end. Only when her consciousness breaks down does she learn that she's merely a cannon-fodder villain NPC in a wish-fulfillment game.
Her opponents are all players in the game, protagonists in their respective worlds, with countless overpowered golden fingers and cards. They can always turn the tide and defeat her with the help of cheats.
When Su Yunqing enters a talent show, her cheat-using rival redeems a skin-whitening and body-sculpting pill and a great-voice System, then boosts her flexibility stats.
When she cultivates immortality, her cheat-using junior sister steals her luck and opportunities, and sows discord among their sectmates.
When she tries to survive the apocalypse, her cheat-using teammate steals her powers and tampers with her escape route.
When she opens her eyes again, Su Yunqing finds that her virtual consciousness has been reborn in the body of a D-rank player, a weakling who was abandoned by her teammates and left to die.
The D-rank player is beautiful, timid, and delicate, a genuine frail beauty. But she can keep leveling up, and is no longer controlled by the game world.
Looking at the golden fingers on the System's exchange screen, Su Yunqing's smile grows steadily more unhinged.
Welcome to my world!

'Would you like to be the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment story? Would you like to win at life?'
The fully immersive game, standing above worlds of lower dimensions, treats tiny planets as its playgrounds, wantonly slaughtering lives that serve as stepping stones.
One day, the wish-fulfillment game app suddenly crashes. When it comes back online, a weak and helpless cannon-fodder supporting heroine has appeared beside the players who are the protagonists.
She's a rose atop a crumbling tower, beautiful and frail, exquisite and fragile.
She's the substitute supporting heroine destined for face-slapping, the cannon-fodder foil destined to have her luck drained, the canary destined to be abandoned, the vicious junior sister destined to be pierced by ten thousand arrows...
At first, no one pays her any attention. They ignore and trample her.
But as the game goes on, the players discover that the NPCs have become cunning and troublesome, that no matter what they do, they can't clear the levels, that their redeemed cards and golden fingers mysteriously stop working, and that even their teammates are vanishing in strange ways...
And the supporting heroine who should have been crushed into the mud is breathtakingly beautiful, capable of turning the world upside down.
She raises a hand, and towering buildings spring up. She parts her lips, and skyscrapers fall.
When the cheat-users lose their cheats, the game they face is finally real and cruel.
[Content Warnings and Notes]
1. The heroine is, at heart, a beautiful, battle-scarred madwoman. She's a great actress, and will stab people while clutching her heart and shedding tears. She's delicate, wicked, and utterly capricious.
