The Frail Guide Surrounded by Admirers

This is a post-apocalyptic Sentinel and Guide world. Shi Niantang is a doomed supporting character, beautiful beyond compare and seemingly otherworldly. But she's delicate, weak, and frail, unable even to summon a spirit form. In the end, she suffers both physically and emotionally, and dies without a body left behind. Shi Niantang: "..." If she has to die, let it be now. She decides to bring about her own death early and put an end to her suffering. When danger strikes, Shi Niantang is the first to charge forward, her expression resolute as she throws herself into certain death. The calm and self-possessed team captain looks at the young woman before him. Her breathing is rapid, and her eyes glisten with tears. Her body is trembling, but her gaze is stubborn as she forces herself to shield him from the source of contamination. His gaze darkens as he pulls her behind him. "...You don't have to try so hard to protect me." Shi Niantang: "Huh?" On a mission, Shi Niantang frantically searches for useless jewelry, then tosses it in front of the mercurial quartermaster, hoping he'll fly into a rage and kick her out. The giant black dragon behind him spreads its wings to trap her. The man's piercing golden eyes with their slit pupils never leave her as he hooks a glittering piece of jewelry with his fingertip. A metallic sheen briefly flashes across his tongue. "Thanks, sweetheart. I love it." When they're alone, Shi Niantang bosses around the notoriously short-tempered Sentinel, making him heat water so she can bathe. After he brings the water and heats it, she slaps him across the face. "Where are the rose petals I love most?" Then she quietly waits for him to fly into a rage and strangle her. The man, two heads taller than her, looms over her like a towering wall. He looks at Shi Niantang without expression, as if she were soft, delicious prey. Then he bends down, bringing his face close to hers. His ears turn faintly red, his eyes roll slightly, and he gasps. "...Do it again." Shi Niantang: "?" Are all of you sick? The cold and ruthless intelligence officer loses control for her. The shadow assassin who hides half his face lets her do whatever she wants. The calm and self-possessed officer kneels before her on one knee. They surround the girl who has become like a goddess. They are her most loyal followers, her strongest protectors, and her most frenzied beasts. That's right. The moment they saw her, they all came down with a sickness called "longing." TIPS: 1. The original blurb was written on March 25, 2022. The concept changed, so the post-apocalyptic zombie setting has been changed to a post-apocalyptic Sentinel and Guide world. Apologies to readers who followed the coming-soon announcement. 2. Reverse harem, Mary Sue, multiple male leads. 3. The female lead will grow stronger and won't stay frail. She has a character-growth arc, but there are lots of Mary Sue elements, so please beware if that's not your thing. Coming soon: The Whole Universe Wants to Mark Me When Shi Simian woke up, she was locked inside a cold, damp cave. Then a group of armed, highly trained men barged in, and their lights fell on her soft, huddled body. "She smells so good." "Where did she come from? Did someone spill a bottle of calming agent?" She heard them whispering to each other. She tried hard to smell something, but all she could detect was the stench of stagnant water in the cave. A masked man crouched down, grabbed her ankle, and carried her out of the darkness. Another man, as tall and strong as a bear, brushed her hair aside. They stared at her neck, slowly sniffing, their eyes growing darker and darker. "It's you." [Female Omega, male Alpha, multiple male leads, Mary Sue, reverse-harem showdown] Coming soon: When Their Moonlight Returns to Life Shi Yuanni retired from the transmigration bureau and randomly chose a world in which to spend her retirement, only to find it strangely familiar. She had once played a vicious, ruthless traditional female antagonist there. The male lead, the supporting male characters, and even random passersby had all hated, despised, and resented her. The mission went perfectly, right up until the end, when she decided to give herself a grand exit. She just picked the wrong moment and ran straight into an invasion by aliens. So, in everyone's eyes, at the most critical moment of the crisis, Shi Yuanni piloted a spaceship into the enemy forces and destroyed them all by blowing herself up. She became a dazzling firework in space, leaving not even ashes behind. Shi Yuanni left the world in a blaze of glory and never paid it any more attention. Until now, eight years later. Surely time had made everyone forget her, and they couldn't still hate her that much, right? Shi Yuanni looked at the giant goddess statue at the heart of the city, its face identical to her own, and at the people who kept bringing flowers and bowing their heads in prayer before it... Then slowly typed a question mark. Right then, on the holographic projection channel before her, the Emperor of the Empire solemnly announced to the entire universe: He was going to marry Shi Yuanni, who had died in battle. No one questioned the emperor for announcing that he would marry her memorial tablet. Instead, the news sparked a public celebration, and everyone was moved to tears by this pure love. But he wasn't the only one going crazy. A few days later, the dignified Alliance Marshal next door stepped forward and declared that he had already been engaged to Shi Yuanni. He asked the emperor not to interfere in someone else's relationship. The young man she had raised, now a top-tier star across the galaxy, openly sneered: "The one who isn't loved is the homewrecker." Her once gloomy and aloof older brother issued a statement: "Shi Yuanni belongs to the Shi family. Everyone else, stay away." Finally, a familiar interstellar fugitive hacked into the official channel and announced that he didn't mind sharing a wife. They absolutely had to count him in. Shi Yuanni: "..." I'll just sit here and watch what kind of nonsense you come up with next. Theme: Creating a beautiful new world together.
