I Started Going Off the Rails After Bonding with an Artificial Idiot

Meng Lan was an utterly ordinary corporate drone who transmigrated into a book. That alone would have been bad enough, but two Systems bound themselves to her.

One was a System for doing evil, and the other was a System for saving lives.

Meng Lan had transmigrated into the role of a cannon-fodder junior sister at an immortal sect, an undercover agent who pretended to admire the male lead before betraying her sect. She said, "...Oh, this should be fun."

The System for Doing Evil said, "Host, as long as you do enough bad deeds, the System can make you invincible."

The System for Saving Lives said, "Host, if you keep doing good deeds, the System can make you everyone's favorite."

Meng Lan wanted neither, but they said she would be dead if she failed to complete her missions.

So Meng Lan started exploiting bugs.

On one side, she casually ate a banana and tossed the peel outside her master's door so he'd slip when he went out. On the other, she hurried over with medicine and said, "Master, how could you be so careless? Is it because you're so old that your legs are stiff? Let your disciple help you."

Her master, who was several hundred years old yet still as beautiful as a flower, said, "..."

In the middle of the night, Meng Lan appeared in her second senior brother's room and tossed bugs into his bed. When he woke in terror, she popped up holding insecticide. "Bajie, a bottle of insecticide costs five spirit stones. Don't worry, no one knows you're afraid of bugs."

Little did she know, the whole sect was aware she was an undercover agent, secretly watching her leap around and cause a commotion.

A few of her senior brothers munched on melon seeds and asked their master, "Isn't it tiring for Junior Sister to mess around like this?"

Her master said, "...Perhaps there's something wrong with her head. I'll make a few doses of medicine for her."

Meng Lan, forced to take the medicine, said, "I don't think I'm sick."

Her master smiled and poured her a few more bowls. "You won't listen to an old man's advice?"

The two Systems watched Meng Lan gradually become the most powerful and beloved person around. "666."

Later, to leave the sect, Meng Lan spread the truth that she was a demonic cultivator.

Her master said, "You're not a demonic cultivator."

Meng Lan said, "I am."

Her master said, "Hallucinations again? Drink some more medicine."

A deceptively innocent, dark-hearted master who never forgets a grudge x a goofy villainous junior sister

"I once had a boyfriend. I killed him, but he came back to find me."

"But his ashes were scattered. Why won't he leave me alone? Can I kill him one more time?"

Everyone who meets Chu Ning for the first time thinks she is a gentle, beautiful woman, but so melancholy she might be ill. Yet she has a knack for handling certain unusual cases. People in the field call her a "master," but she answers with cool detachment, "I'm just an ordinary person."

Everyone thinks she's being modest. In reality, only Chu Ning knows that from the day she first met Duan Quqing to this very day, when the necklace made from his ashes rests against her skin as intimately as his kisses once did, she has been a novice rejected by a bizarre and uncanny world.

The scornful hand young Duan Quqing held out to her that day became a bitter entanglement that haunted her for years.

A young woman sets out on a mysterious path, but no matter how far she goes, he never leaves her alone, as if determined to torment her forever, even beyond death.

"Chu Ning, you should pay for what you've done, shouldn't you?"

Nightmares whisper without pause in her ear. Chu Ning can save others, but she can't save herself.

...Plot-focused blurb

The occult world never expected that the paranormal awakening would be what drove them to reform their field of study.

They used to read feng shui, catch ghosts, and tell fortunes. Then a new species suddenly appeared and left them bewildered.

This thing can evolve?

Chu Ning, who was at the forefront of her time and published a paper on the new species, quickly became a leading figure in the field.

Behind every successful woman is a... ex-boyfriend who pushes her to improve.

Chu Ning's ex-boyfriend just happens to be the source of this new species:

A fellow who was once human, then became a ghost, and may now be an evil god.

Chu Ning thought, "I should really study how to develop a new system, then kill my ex-boyfriend one more time."

A cool, melancholy young occultist x a male lead who's actually quite devoted

P.S. They love and fight each other, and both are at fault. Later, they save each other.

Theme: There's always a way through every difficulty.
