On her birthday, Bai Shuyan, who had been single her whole life, suddenly received a romance System from the Dream Come True Company.
She was all set to welcome love, but quickly discovered that her System had absolutely terrible taste in romantic partners.
Following the System's mission instructions, Bai Shuyan gave up all her cultivation to save the man destined for her. In the end, she could only watch as, after marrying her, he seized the sect her father had painstakingly built, abandoned her in the depths of the estate, and turned around to pour all his love into another woman.
Realizing something was wrong, Bai Shuyan kept her wits about her and returned to the System's space.
There she saw the System clutching a bag of popcorn, muttering to itself: Next, the heroine will be on the brink of death, and the hero will realize his true feelings and search desperately for her. So sweet! What a beautiful romance.
Seeing Bai Shuyan's fist, the System trembled in fear. “Hello, Host. This is my first time working as a romance System, too. You can stare at me all you want, but I still won't become the one you love.”
Under Bai Shuyan's threat, the System rewound the story.
On their wedding night, as the candlelight shone on a scene playing out once again, Bai Shuyan lifted her own bridal veil and lightly raised the chin of the man destined for her with one finger. The next second, her sword pierced his dantian and shattered all the cultivation he had spent his life accumulating.
The System had missed out on its sweet romance, but gathered up its courage and told Bai Shuyan: “Host, since you have never experienced the feeling of being in love, headquarters has instructed us to let you try out a few more worlds.”
Bai Shuyan wiped the blood from her sword. “It's fine. I'm an expert at love.”
From then on, Bai Shuyan took the System, which had been forced back into its old line of work, and set out on a career-driven path through various worlds, killing any god or Buddha who stood in her way.
