I Can't Believe I'm an NPC in a Horror Game

Su Leyao is an ordinary girl who has recently noticed that some extraordinary people seem to have started appearing in her ordinary life. At first, she didn't think anything of it, even though these people had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. That is, until she realized they kept trying to get close to her childhood friend, older brother, and best friend... as if they wanted something from them. They even frequently asked them out, practically making dates of it. Confused, she happened to overhear them talking about “players,” “games,” and “NPCs”... Su Leyao: ??? Having mastered all kinds of otome games and transmigration tropes, Su Leyao suddenly realized in horror that she might be living inside an otome game! And these newcomers were the legendary players, here to win over all the desirable characters! Su Leyao panicked. What was she supposed to do? Since she was so close to all those romanceable male leads, wasn't she in a very dangerous position? No, she had to get away from them immediately, before she became the villainess! Her childhood friend, older brother, and best friend watched the players who had made her misunderstand: His heart is racing.jpg Player: Who told you this was an otome game? This damn thing is a horror game! Let me recommend my new upcoming novel, Cultivating Immortal Games Among the Stars. Blurb: Game designer Su Ling accidentally transmigrates to the interstellar era. Broke and penniless, she can only fall back on her old profession to make a living. But the interstellar era is thriving in its pursuit of the seventh art, and its full-dive technology is highly advanced. Horror games, romance games, MOBAs, shooters, mecha games... Most game genres she has or hasn't encountered already exist. Relying only on her past experience, Su Ling has no chance of making a hit game that earns money in the short term. Fortunately, after learning about the history of games, she discovers that this world has never developed a xianxia genre because its technological progress has been too rapid. What more is there to say? Xianxia and full-dive technology are the perfect match! Not long afterward, a game called The Immortal Touches My Crown appears out of nowhere. It becomes an overnight sensation and a landmark hit. A dazzling world of cultivation, countless opportunities and adventures, a vast new setting, and diverse storylines. If you like PVP, join the sect tournament and compete for the title of sect champion. If you prefer PVE, dungeons and secret realms await your exploration. Lifestyle players can farm, mine, and cook, while casual players can admire the scenery and travel around the cultivation world... Its wealth of gameplay has something for everyone. Even battle-hardened interstellar gamers are quickly hooked. The entertainment industry, from films and TV to novels and tourist attractions, also flourishes thanks to the arrival of this new genre.

When her boyfriend asks what it feels like to reach the top and become famous across the galaxy with just one game, Su Ling replies, “Actually, I'm not interested in money. My greatest interest is just making games. :)” Theme: Finding a beautiful life
