Also known as I Look at All Living Beings and See That They're Sick [Cyberpunk]
After transmigrating into a high-tech future society, Bai Xuwei found herself with three souls from parallel worlds inside her body. When she saw the massive bounty and wanted poster for her on the "Skynet," Bai Xuwei froze.
"Huh?"
Fortunately, she had a golden finger: she could see a comic series in which she was a supporting character, and use the information inside it to help herself escape!
And the more popular she became, the more information Bai Xuwei could see.
Bai Xuwei thought, what could be more stylish than a split-personality mastermind? As it happened, she had three souls inside her!
So...
In her "little sister" persona, she cleanly took down every android police officer who came after her.
In her "big brother" persona, she used her technical skills and a cheerful smile to become a prosthetics mechanic at the entrance to the underground black market.
In her "big sister" persona, she became the chief researcher at a corporate conglomerate and rose to the top of the company.
[Holy crap, this is the most badass 'family' I've ever seen.]
[It's clearly the same person, but change her personality and it's like she's got a different face. I'm stunned.]
[I'm here to be the little sister's devoted fan! Zhenzhen is awesome!]
[The cool older sister is the best. Can your Sister Wen beat her? She became a corporate executive in one move.]
[Am I the only one who likes Brother Shu? He's so gentle...]
[Stop arguing, stop arguing. In the end, they're all just different personalities of the same person. Sister Wei is clearly the strongest!]
[Sister Wei is number one!]

Giant corporate conglomerates wield absolute power. The people at the bottom are exploited and left to die. Superpowered individuals exist thanks to biotechnology, while religious groups brandish holy scriptures and proclaim the divine decree that all things shall become one.
Android police wipe out the "trash" who dare approach the upper classes or interfere with law enforcement. The news broadcasts images of gleaming, glamorous districts.
The rich have everything, while the poor struggle to survive.
For the people on the forum, this is all happening in a comic. But for Bai Xuwei and her family, this is their real world.

"All I wanted was to stay alive, but I accidentally set the whole world on fire."
PS:
1. Mystery-solving + survival + leveling up + light science fiction (think space opera).
2. I'll do my best to make this a satisfying power fantasy.
3. The protagonist and supporting characters may have moral flaws.
