[Blurb] While Shi Zheng is an award-winning actress, she is also a veteran employee of the demon-hunting department.

By day, she diligently plays an ordinary person. By night, she diligently hunts demons to keep the city safe.

Her life seems utterly dull and boring to the paparazzi.

Then one day, a rumor about her shot up the trending charts:

#Shocking! Shi Zheng Is Pregnant Before Marriage!#

#Shocking! Reclusive Best Actress Shi Zheng Joins a Parenting Reality Show with a Child!#

Shi Zheng: ...Thanks for asking. At twenty-seven, I can breathe on my own, eat four meals a day, and become a mom without pain. My daughter is six, and the future looks bright.

-

Shi Zheng first met the little bundle on a pitch-black night.

She had just opened the door and switched on the light when the cardboard box by the entrance suddenly opened on its own.

The little girl, a pink flower perched on her head, blinked at her. "Hello, beautiful Mama. Did you lose a golden Qiuqiu or a silver Qiuqiu?~"

Shi Zheng was shaken to her core. "Where did you come from?!"

Qiuqiu tilted her head. "Did I bounce out of the trash can?"

Shi Zheng: "?"

Qiuqiu thought it over. "Did I crawl out of the TV?"

Shi Zheng: "??"

Qiuqiu smiled, her eyes curving. "Qiuqiu grew out of Mama's heart~"

-

On the show, another guest asked curiously, "Qiuqiu, who's your dad?"

Shi Zheng hadn't even had time to cover her daughter's mouth before the little girl put her hands on her hips and said, "That's a secret!"

Shi Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiuqiu shouted, "Dad told me I'm half human and half demon!"

The guests were shaken to their core. "Half-human, half-demon?!"

Shi Zheng's heart seized up.

-

One day, guest star Qiu Huan arrived at the filming location.

Shi Zheng clenched her hands. This was the powerful demon the department had ordered her to keep an eye on for years. His danger rating was five stars. With so many people around, she couldn't guarantee everyone's safety...

Before she could finish the thought, Qiuqiu's eyes lit up. She rushed over to Qiu Huan and clung to him like a human-shaped accessory.

"Dad!"

Shi Zheng: ?

Everyone: ??

Qiu Huan was shaken to his core: ???

The staff livestreaming the show: ?!!

Qiuqiu looked at her dad, then her mom, and finally sighed like a wise old soul. She took their hands and joined them together, speaking earnestly:

"Mama, don't be mad~ Dad said you're his wife, the wife he was destined to have!"

"Dad, if you can't even make your wife happy, how am I supposed to show my face in front of the whole country?"

Coming soon: Male Leads Fight Jealously Over Me [Quick Transmigration]

Yu Xunzhi enters a Quick Transmigration System. Her mission is to find the central figure in each illusion and drive their love or hatred to the emotional peak stipulated by the System, thereby breaking the illusion.

In each illusion, she receives a golden finger, but it comes with unpredictable side effects.

System: "We follow the principles of love and peace. The Host must win them over with love..."

Yu Xunzhi smiled, making the System feel a chill down its back. "No need. Hatred is more effective than love."

■World One: [Modern Entertainment Industry]

Romance rates and the number of women have plummeted, leading to a compulsory matching system.

Every month, single women must take part in a compulsory match and choose one man from a list of high-quality candidates to spend the night with.

Because of her golden finger's side effect, Yu Xunzhi faces a choice:

Choose herself or the other person, and forget everything that happened on the night of each match.

Yu Xunzhi, the fake heiress of the Yu family: Of course I'll choose to forget.

Several months later, she finds a new romantic prospect and prepares to start a new life.

The eldest son of the Yu family, who is in charge of the matching system, gazes at her with dark, brooding eyes. At last, unable to hold back any longer, he kisses her.

Yu Xunzhi wipes the blood from her lip and smiles carelessly. "Love me? Then destroy the matching system. Otherwise, get lost."

[Restrained and repressed x Free-spirited]

■World Two: [Xianxia]

A romance between master and disciple is forbidden by the Heavenly Dao.

Legend has it that the God of War of the Heavenly Realm rejected the passionate advances of his disciple, Fairy Qiyao, to protect peace among the three realms. He possessed eternal life and could not be killed.

Hundreds of years later, Fairy Qiyao, now Yu Xunzhi, takes a disciple and falls in love with him.

In the great hall, Yu Xunzhi looks at the person kneeling before her on one knee, holding her foot and kissing its instep. She lifts his chin with her fan.

"My lord and master, you are now willing to be a substitute, posing as my disciple to enter my sect and fall in love with me. Does that mean you no longer fear heavenly tribulation, and no longer love all the people of the three realms?"

■World Three: [Future Interstellar]

The Empire and the Federation have long been at odds, with war raging between them.

In the decisive battle, the Imperial Marshal successfully kills the Federation General, bringing their long rivalry to an end at last.

The Imperial Marshal lowers his gaze and asks if she has any last words.

Yu Xunzhi, the Federation General, spits out a mouthful of blood and smiles. "I love you..."

The Imperial Marshal freezes. Yu Xunzhi dies.

Later, he frantically searches for her dispersed mental energy. In the end, he transfers it into an AI.

No matter how many times he tells her "I love you," she acts as if she doesn't hear him.

War breaks out again. The Imperial Marshal looks at the sword piercing his chest and spits out a mouthful of bright red blood.

Yu Xunzhi smiles, her eyes curving. "Why do you keep forgetting, Your Excellency? I've told you countless times: AI has no heart."

More worlds to be decided.
