I Have a Regret-Reversing Pill [Infinite]

Horror Redemption is a globally popular full-dive escape game with a difficulty level so high that players cry and wail.

The fate-bound item Yun Xin draws is a regret pill, but since entering the game, she has never made a mistake or had anything to regret.

Later, Yun Xin finally figures out how to use the regret pill properly: she doesn't need it, but other people do!

From then on, the other players' process of redeeming vengeful ghosts goes like this: grovel before them, endure endless abuse while trying to redeem them with love, and narrowly escape death after being toyed with. If they're lucky, they might move the ghosts and clear the game.

Her process of redeeming vengeful ghosts goes like this:

1. Knock out the ghost who needs redeeming and tie them up.

2. Pour a cup of warm water.

3. Wash the regret pill down their throat with it.

The bound ghost flails around: "?? Are you for real?"

How dare you not follow the script?

Chi Shao, the top-ranked player on the Elegant Attire leaderboard, has been running into all sorts of strange things lately.

As soon as he enters the game, the ghost girl on the windowsill grabs him. "This time, I won't let you leave me again."

Chi Shao: "..."

The ghost bride stabs the groom through with a dagger, then points at him and tells the other players, "You can all go. My obsession is making him my groom."

Chi Shao: "..."

He never expected that his excellent skills would lead a female ghost who had taken a regret pill to forcibly keep him around.

Later, he realizes that unless he kills Yun Xin, he'll be stuck facing this hellish opening every time he enters the game.

From then on, the forum is filled every day with hot posts like "Did the top-ranked heartthrob and the strongest potion master fight today?" and "A deep dive into the love-hate relationship between the two greats." This popular topic keeps countless game streamers and fan editors in business.

At first, the onlookers say, "Fight! The two kings can't share the stage!" and "More sabotaging and sniping each other, please!"

Meanwhile, each side's devoted fans insist, "Don't you dare drag my idol into this."

Later...

The two hurt each other while sabotaging one another, each taking a thousand points of damage and dealing eight hundred to themselves. Forced by the plot to play passionately in-love couples in front of the NPCs, they stumble through their love lines, both blushing. During deductions, a single glance is enough for them to understand each other... The more the whole internet watches, the more something seems off.

When danger strikes, Yun Xin is the first to check that he's safe, while Chi Shao instinctively steps in front of her. At last, the forum explodes.

"I've brought the marriage registration office over. When are you two getting married?"

P.S. The male lead is absolutely not a flirt who treats everyone the same. He's just so good at his job and so successful at redemption that the scenes in the blurb happen.

P.S. The female lead is incredibly strong and keeps pulling off amazing moves. Early on, she steals the show all by herself; later, she and the male lead can sabotage each other to their hearts' content.
