Have the Interstellar Monsters Found Their Prison Yet?

Jian Yu is a prison that suppresses every demon and monster in the world. It's no easy job. Every day, she has to catch the demons that escape, endure their curses at all hours, and deal with the troublemakers inside who are always trying to tear the place apart.

As the only prison in the world to have ever gained sentience, Jian Yu is exhausted every day.

Just as Jian Yu thought she would spend the rest of her life this way, she unexpectedly transmigrated to an unfamiliar interstellar world and became a hated, despised cannon-fodder female character.

Undying filth now runs rampant across the stars. The people live in misery, on edge every day and afraid that they might be the next to die. But Jian Yu, who had worked around the clock in her previous life, was devoted to being a couch potato.

Still, something always came along to interrupt her peace and quiet.

City A was attacked by an S-rank monster. The sea churned and a storm suddenly rose. Just as everyone was losing hope, Jian Yu frowned in puzzlement from her spot in the corner.

Strange. Why does this thing look so much like one of the demons I used to imprison?

As Jian Yu puzzled over it, she accidentally met the monster's eyes. The fury in its eyes instantly gave way to tears, and it flapped its little tentacles as it came running toward her, wailing.

"Jian Yu, I finally found you!"

"Lock me up again, quick! I can't stand it out here!!!"

Jian Yu: ???

Later, Jian Yu discovered that the demons she'd once imprisoned had all made names for themselves across the stars. The only problem was, not one of them was quite right in the head. They all knelt and begged her to lock them up again.

Jian Yu: ...

That's a strange request. It's the first time anyone's asked me for that.

Next book coming soon: Please Claim Your 30-Second Resurrection Ad

Game designer An Huaizhi accidentally transmigrates into an interstellar romance novel and becomes a minor cannon-fodder character who barely gets a mention.

Her gambling-addicted father squandered the family's ancestral company, then jumped to his death, leaving behind her sick mother, her school-aged younger sister, a mountain of debt, and An Huaizhi, who was left reeling.

It's a hellish start, but luckily her gambling-addicted father also left her a full-dive game pod for making games.

The most popular games in the interstellar world are either bloody competitive games or games that rely on cheap titillation to grab people's attention.

As if games can't make money unless they're sexy or bloody.

They make a point of being unhealthy, inside and out.

An Huaizhi has only this to say: Hah. That's because you've never seen games from Earth.

Before long, a simple matching game made from discarded interstellar armor parts quietly launches. Its maddeningly difficult levels get players hooked, and it quickly takes the entire interstellar world by storm.

Even though the game is popular across the stars, most game companies still don't take An Huaizhi seriously. They think she's just a producer who's good at exploiting loopholes and won't get far.

Who knew this rookie producer would go on to release several more innovative games, each one a massive hit? Her games would even become trendsetters across the interstellar world.
