The Elf’s Guide

[Updates at midnight]

[This novel will go VIP on January 19, with a 10,000-word chapter that day!]

Xi Lin transmigrates into a world that combines science fiction and fantasy, a world of sentinels and guides.

In the future, elves with endless lifespans rule society. Humanity was once decimated by a historical epidemic and came close to extinction.

Though the plague didn't cause physical suffering for the elves, it tormented their souls. The humans who survived, meanwhile, awakened the ability to soothe souls.

Hundreds of years later, elves direct the course of society. They call themselves humanity's protectors, but in truth, they keep humans as pets.

Every human undergoes numerous examinations and matching tests after birth. The most thorough examination takes place at their coming-of-age ceremony. Generally speaking, a human guide has only one ideal match.

After transmigrating, Xi Lin spent three years as an unregistered resident on a garbage planet. She finally got registered during a census, only for the doctor's expression to change again and again during her final medical examination.

She glanced at the screen in front of the doctor.

Number of most compatible matches: ?

Xi Lin: “What does that question mark mean?”

Doctor: “Well... this is very rare, but it seems you're an exceptionally versatile guide.”

Xi Lin: “?”

Unlike the pure, otherworldly elves in fairy tales, the elves in this world have more intense emotions than humans, including an even darker side.

“Some elves spend long ages without ever meeting their destined guide. But our meeting was written in the stars.” The platinum-haired elf leaned forward slightly, clasping Xi Lin's hands tightly.

“Elves and humans were always meant to share one destiny.” The tall elf embraced her from behind, pressing close to her.

One elf after another told her that they were the one destined to be her partner.

Enough already, she thought.

At first, Xi Lin only wanted to live a quiet, uneventful life. But after being dragged into one emotional whirlpool after another, she came to a realization.

If she didn't get out, she'd end up swallowed by their thick, cloying love.

But when she tried to run away, all she got in return was their thoughtful sighs.

He, and then the others, sighed and said, “Are you leaving again this time? But you can't.”
