Novel blurb:

After Jiang Si died in an accident, a System bound her and took her to the Time Administration. After a year of training, she became a probationary mission-taker for the agency.

One day, a System found her. In exchange for all her assets, it asked Jiang Si to take the place of its missing Host and finish the remaining missions, so it could escape the notice of the newly appointed head of the Inspection Department.

Jiang Si agreed.

It wasn't until she reached the mission world that Jiang Si discovered the original Host's missions involved a series of disguises as a man. As everyone knew, mission-takers in that series usually met pretty miserable ends in their small worlds.

Jiang Si cried. She'd already boarded the System's pirate ship. What could she do now that she couldn't get off?

Neither she nor the System knew that the new head of the Inspection Department, rumored to be as crazy as a lunatic, had already discovered their secret deal.

The eldest princess of Qin had a blade in her hand. It could cut through iron without a sound and kill with a single drop of blood. It cut down petty villains and eliminated traitors, helping her ascend step by step to the throne.

Later, the princess became empress.

The woman, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, took her hand. "Thirteen, congratulations. You've been promoted."

"Are you making me a general?"

The woman tossed aside her secret identity and smiled faintly. "No. You're going to be the head of my harem."

[World Four]: Interstellar ABO (completed)

Adorable, scatterbrained Beta deputy general x gentle, doting Alpha general

Mission complete, BE.

The youngest female general in the empire had a little secret in her heart. It had to do with her deputy, and with herself, too.

After a battle one day, her little deputy asked, "General, who do you want to protect?"

She sadly cradled her little deputy's injured arm and said with concern, "Why are you hurt again? Don't you know who I want to protect?"

Her little deputy shook her head blankly.

Later, during a particularly difficult battle, her little deputy was thrown into the dangerous core zone. She rushed there with all her might and shielded her deputy with her body. Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she asked reluctantly, "Do you know who I want to protect now?"

Her little deputy was crying so heartbreakingly, but she no longer had time to comfort her properly.

After completing the mission, Jiang Si sat up in her nutrient pod, her eyes red. She wiped away her tears and looked up to see a woman with a very familiar face smiling at her. She wore a perfectly tailored suit, and the badge on her chest bore a few words: Head of the Inspection Department.

Before Jiang Si could react, the woman continued gently, "Hello, my name is Cheng Shu. I'm your wife."

Content warnings:

1. The heroine disguises herself as a man. Don't read if you can't accept that.

2. The heroine is exclusively attracted to women. The second female lead only likes Jiang Si, regardless of whether Jiang Si is male or female.

3. The small worlds have both HE and BE endings, but the overall ending is HE.

4. No pregnancy or children.

Theme: Don't lose sight of the bigger picture.
