The Warden Only Wants to Take It Easy [Interstellar]

[Please favorite the author's profile in the upper right so you won't miss new novels!] You An always thought her life after becoming a prison guard would be like this: drink tea, read the paper, patrol and take a stroll, and live the carefree life of a lazybones. Reality was the exact opposite. Not a single day in the Star Prison was peaceful. The inmates under her care were getting stranger and stranger, too. Inmate A: The Empire's rule is corrupt. Inmate B: We have to overthrow it! We want freedom! Inmate C: You're the best leader. Some even urged her to recruit the S-class prisoner locked up in the prison's underground Level 99. You An: Are you crazy, or am I? Then one day, a newly admitted inmate let something slip. You An: What? This world is a book? I'm the great villain who leads everyone in Skola Star Prison in escaping the Empire and founding a new Federation? The S-class prisoner locked up on underground Level 99 is my trusted subordinate? No, that can't be right. My life's ambition is to be a well-behaved little prison guard, then retire, collect the maximum pension, and go home to grow vegetables! Every day, You An patrols the prison with the shy junior officer assigned to her. Before she knows it, she becomes an outstanding guard with the best public safety record in her jurisdiction, then somehow gets promoted to warden of the Star Prison. You An gains access to all the Star Prison's files. She looks at the familiar face in the photo of the S-class prisoner, dumbstruck. This... isn't that blushing junior officer of mine? Coming soon: I Really Can't Be an Undercover Agent Song Niansheng is a graduate of a third-rate police academy on a remote planet, on the verge of unemployment, when a recruitment letter from the Federation Police Bureau drops out of the sky and leaves her reeling. The good news: If she passes her probation, she'll become an official Federation officer and make the whole galaxy proud. The bad news: The probation period has no set end date, and her assignment is to infiltrate Omega, the largest interstellar criminal organization, and become an undercover agent for the Federation Police Bureau. Song Niansheng: I knew nothing in life came free. She thought of her student loans, soon to be cut off, and her overdue rent and utility bills, then gritted her teeth and signed the contract. A free meal might be hard to swallow, but if it's edible, she'll eat it. Months later, Song Niansheng was gasping for breath in a trash can in a back alley. She touched the small bald patch where a quantum gun had shaved off her hair and wept with regret. This free meal wasn't just hard to swallow. It could get her killed. * Song Niansheng had no interest in undercover work and only wanted to sneak away, but somehow she started rising through the ranks at Omega. As the number of underlings under her command kept growing, Song Niansheng was close to tears. She couldn't keep doing this. The harder she worked, the more miserable she got. At this rate, her name would end up on the Federation's wanted list sooner or later. Theme: Keep working hard at life
