At the enthusiastic recommendation of her friends, Lin Weiran opened a romance RPG that claimed to offer the highest degree of freedom.
After playing for one hour and fifty-nine minutes, she quietly chose to get a refund. The reason was simple: the game's setup was way too bizarre. How could a romance game be this hard to play?
It's a school romance game, and you get an apartment from the start. You have to earn your rent by working and fighting monsters. Never mind the jobs, who expects to fight monsters in a campus romance game?!
Forget it. She didn't want to say any more. She'd better go to sleep. She had work tomorrow, after all.
.
Who could have imagined that she would transmigrate into the game that very night? The game System told her that she could go home as long as she reached any ending that didn't involve dying.
That sounded incredibly easy. Thinking this, Lin Weiran had barely stepped outside before a flowerpot fell from the sky and killed her.
Lin Weiran: “...?”
This can't be right. There are only one-story houses nearby. Where did a flowerpot come from up there?

Mystery solved: there's a flying monster in the sky. :)

After reloading her save several times and struggling her way to school, she finally met the tutorial NPC. He told the player to water the flowers, but a venomous snake burst out of the flower bed. Game over.
After she finished watering the flowers, he asked the player to help return a book to the library. Then the bookshelf suddenly toppled over. Game over.
After she fixed the bookshelf, he gave the player a present. The moment she opened it, game over.
“...?” Can you die just from opening a present?
This is actually a survival game, isn't it?
