[Cthulhu] On the Possibility of Winning Over an Outer God

- A few things to know before you start reading: [OOC, referring to the Outer Gods. They all came here to fall in love, after all!] [The male lead is set: the beautiful Bubble] [The blurb has been revised, but the core is unchanged. Click here to see the heroine beat up the Outer Gods without mercy.] [Check out my upcoming xianxia novel, Three Fake Deaths Summon a Shura Field. The blurb is at the bottom.] Ruiya transmigrated into a world thoroughly corrupted by the Cthulhu Mythos, where people turned into indescribable things every day. A delivery uniform wrapped around a bloated body, while the neighbor across the hall became a sacrifice to summon an Outer God. Members of secret cults were everywhere. Everyone worshipped evil gods. She was the only exception. Along with a body, Ruiya had brought a green little System with her. "Discordant visuals detected and blocked; discordant sounds detected and muted; discordant smells detected and isolated." Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Jinjiang System, everything before her eyes was pixelated, and her soul had been elevated, as if she would never again have such worldly desires... But the System told her that if she wanted to go home, she had to develop a "heart-wrenching love story" in this world. Otherwise, she would be stuck forever in this pixelated place. Gazing at the round, square, long, short, regular, and twisted pixels before her, Ruiya resigned herself to doing nothing and being a couch potato. But as one of the few normal people in this Cthulhu Mythos world, she soon attracted their attention. A corpse at a murder scene came back to life. A dashing professor named Nyarlathotep claimed to be her relative from the distant Miskatonic University in the Court of Chaos. An admission letter was placed in her hands, and the halls of knowledge opened their arms to her. In a retro-style office, the Asian-faced principal, You Suosi, welcomed her; At the Black Star Theater by the university lake, the lead performer, Salome, was neither clearly male nor female, and the show was a delight to watch. Life seemed to have fallen into a routine. Ruiya soon met an online friend who also attended Miskatonic University in the Court of Chaos. They were quiet and wealthy, and often sent her all kinds of expensive gifts from the deep sea. Even in her dreams, she met an astonishingly beautiful young person. Although certain parts of the university were still eerie, at least everyone was no longer pixelated! Ruiya saw a glimmer of hope of getting home, and eagerly prepared to pursue a lucky candidate. But she accidentally discovered that they seemed to have already gotten a head start and were planning to pursue her instead. Something was definitely off, and sure enough, she caught them by their pixelated tails. She slowly lay down, feeling that she no longer had any worldly desires. [Upcoming novel: Three Fake Deaths Summon a Shura Field] Shen Meiyan failed at the last moment of her tribulation. Her body and soul were destroyed, but she unexpectedly bonded with a System. If she completed her tasks, she could rebuild her primordial spirit and pursue the Great Dao once more. "You are the little peach blossom of the cold-hearted Demon Emperor, the little furnace of the amorous Demon Lord, the little sword spirit of the heartless Sword Venerable, and the little disciple of the unfeeling Sect Master. You are the love of their lives." "Your purpose is to help them sever their romantic attachments, strengthen their resolve, and ascend to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible." Then it dumped her in the Demon Realm, where she became an immobile peach blossom tree that could be eaten by other demons at any moment. Shen Meiyan: ... - After waiting by the river for three thousand six hundred hours, the little peach blossom finally met Yanyue, the future Demon Emperor. He waved eight tentacles as he fled his enemies in the rushing current. Only then did she learn that the future cold-faced Demon Emperor had originally been an octopus. She struggled to take human form and save him, and from then on the two little demons became friends by the Zhushui River. Yanyue had been adrift since childhood, bullied for his unsightly appearance and weak spiritual power. It was only after meeting the peach blossom that he got a name and learned what it felt like to be cared for. She encouraged him to cultivate diligently, saying that one day he would become a mighty demon who could reach the heavens and plumb the depths. She also said she wanted to be his future wife, and that eight tentacles would feel wonderful during dual cultivation. "Don't talk nonsense," he said, but he didn't stop her from touching his tentacles. Time passed. A Venerable named Yanyue came to Zhushui. They said he held a peach branch in his arms every day and never let it out of his sight, claiming it was his beloved wife. Her lifespan was spent and her spiritual power exhausted. The peach blossom returned to the form she had taken when they first met, but Yanyue refused to accept fate and resolved to defy the heavens. - Climbing out of a pile of corpses, Yanyan ran straight into Jingfeng, a guardian of the Demon Palace. He saw through the furnace identity she'd gone to great lengths to hide, and planned to offer her to the Demon Lord as a concubine. The gap in their strength was too great, so Yanyan bit her lip and accepted her fate. She obediently followed him, learned from him, and was protected by him, becoming a tool for him to climb the ranks. "Yanyan, tomorrow you'll be going to the Demon Palace." "Yanyan, does the Demon Lord like you?" "Yanyan, have you ever thought about me?" "Yanyan, I... regret it a little." - When strange disturbances arose in the Demon Realm, Xiao Jiming, the Sword Venerable of Guiyi Sect, emerged from seclusion, only to hear that the founding master of the Hehuan Sect had died in her tribulation. He was stunned. They had never been close, really. But that day, he had been afflicted by a love curse in a secret realm and spent one night with her. Afterward, he said he owed her a favor and would come to repay it one day. Returning to the old place, Xiao Jiming happened upon a divine weapon. The woman inside the sword smiled brightly, and looked just like someone he once knew. Even her personality... was just as outrageous as that demoness. - After completing three tasks with great difficulty, Shen Meiyan was dumped by the System at the gates of the Hehuan Sect. "There. One last task." Looking up, she saw the Sect Master, who had made an unprecedented appearance at the disciple selection, gazing coldly at her. He looked exactly like Shen Xian, the disciple she'd neglected for years. A master becoming a disciple and a disciple becoming a master wasn't enough to faze a demoness. That is, not until Shen Xian took her hand and asked her to become his cultivation partner. "Congratulations on completing all your tasks. Enjoy your new life." On the day of the great union ceremony, the System made a quick getaway, leaving her alone to face Sect Master Shen, who was about to complete the ceremony, along with the Demon Emperor, Demon Lord, and Sword Venerable, who had rushed over after hearing the news. Premise: Protect yourself, and trust science.
