[GL] After Faking My Death, My Target Went Mad

[Angels, you can check the pinned comment first~]

Xi Chen, an employee of the Conquest Bureau, thought she could finally take a vacation after completing missions in seven small worlds.

Instead, she was told that all her conquest missions had failed! As punishment, the Conquest Bureau was making her restart every small world.

The Bureau's job was to conquer target characters. The easiest way to measure how well an employee had done was to record how the targets behaved after the employee faked her death.

Xi Chen received the records from her superiors and nearly laughed in outrage.

She had put her whole heart into conquering her targets. After several missions, she felt she had practically trained herself into a lovesick puppy!

As they say, lovesick puppies end up with nothing! The veterans at the Conquest Bureau weren't lying!

Just look: after she died, her targets went on with their normal lives, partied all night, rushed into second marriages, and one of them even responded, "Tsk, you got blood all over me."

Great. She already knew who that was. Seething with resentment and fury, she slapped the records down. "We'll start with this one!"

But to her surprise, the person who had disliked her wasn't some nitpicky germaphobe from the modern world. He was from her first conquest world, the one she least wanted to return to. The person she had to conquer in that world was her "senior brother."

Nearly twenty years had passed since she faked her death. Her "senior brother," Lou Qi, had become the number-one swordsman in the cultivation world, the Kunwu Sword. It sounded like he'd been doing pretty well.

Xi Chen thought that after so long, not many people would remember her. She was planning to take her time, but as soon as she arrived, someone brought her straight to Lou Qi.

The legendary number-one cultivator in the world sat on a chaise longue, his robes partly open, his eyes and brows full of coldness.

"...Exactly seven thousand days. You've had long enough to think about how you'll repay me. Tell me, my good junior sister..."

Wait! I thought my conquest had failed! Why do you look like you've been waiting for me?!

Xi Chen soon realized there had to be something wrong with the Conquest Bureau's data! These people all acted like they wanted to tie her to their sides! Look me in the eye and tell me my conquest failed!

P.S. 1. Xi Chen is so thick-skinned that the fiery reckoning can't touch her.

2. Because of the information gap, Xi Chen often does things she thinks are "for her targets' own good," though they're not. She means no harm, so please forgive her.

World One: Ashes of the Past (righteous sect's senior brother x junior sister, the Demon Lord)

I love the demons, yet hate my junior sister.

One sword strike at the Ashless Cliff severed my past and cut away my obsession. From then on, I saw through the fog and embraced desire.

After years of sinking into it, I finally understood the entanglements of the past. How ridiculous. Better to wield the heavenly flames and turn to ashes.

World Two: Bones Before the Buddha (eldest princess x young empress dowager)

When we first met, she was playing in the stream in a gauzy dress, a bright peony blooming by her temple. The moment she looked back, it was spring.

After she died, I made two wishes before the Buddha.

First, that she would live again. Second, that she would show me mercy.

World Three: Snowy Moon (lodger x young lady)

This home churns with malice.

She is its only touch of white.

"Her profile reflected the faint afterglow of the setting sun, like crystals in the distance, music in the distance, the folds of distant mountains, brimming with a profound beauty born of distance. Beneath the sky between the trees, as dusk deepened, her outline was as clear as Mount Fuji at twilight.", Spring Snow
