P.S. I revise my story pretty often, so if you see it locked, that's usually normal.

Here is the blurb:

Lian Si Xun got hit by a car and died, but not quite.

For some inexplicable reason, she was bound to a System and had to complete all the missions here before she could go back.

Lian Si Xun looked at the identity clues provided by the System: [Organization test subject] [Disguised as a man] [Love triangle] [Handsome, strong, and tragic] [Childhood friend who appeared out of nowhere]

Lian Si Xun: ??? What even is all this...???

Lian Si Xun looked at the missions issued by the System: [Disguise yourself as a man and infiltrate the police academy] [Save the xxxx character] [Complete the organization's missions], and so on.

Lian Si Xun: ? This is ridiculous.

Lian Si Xun: Why do I have to disguise myself as a man to get into the police academy? Won't I get caught?

The System's advice to Lian Si Xun: Do your best to survive in this new world.

When faced with the choice between men and life, she firmly chose the latter.

Lian Si Xun: Men will only make my life less comfortable.

Lian Si Xun was determined to complete all her missions and return home from this world with its sky-high death rate, Detective Conan.

Lian Si Xun: I only wanted to live a peaceful life...

*

While completing her missions, Lian Si Xun had no idea that she had already become the beloved person in the hearts of many important characters.

With an emotional intelligence level close to zero, Lian Si Xun said: Huh? How is that possible?

As her missions neared their end, the System issued one final mission:

That's right, all you have to do is die and you can go back.

Lian Si Xun: Finally!

After sending everyone off to happy endings, Lian Si Xun got herself a perfect bad ending.

She planned her own death perfectly, died perfectly, and returned home perfectly.

Not long after Lian Si Xun returned, she opened a café.

However...

Lian Si Xun gradually began to realize that something was wrong.

The vacant apartment upstairs had become a detective agency.

Lian Si Xun: What era is this? Do detectives still exist?

Then she saw the seven big characters above it.

[Mouri Detective Agency]

Lian Si Xun: Th-this is just a case of people having the same name, right?

Until one day, a little boy who looked incredibly like a certain grim-reaper elementary school student came downstairs to buy something from her shop.

When he saw Lian Si Xun's face, he froze.

"Brother Xun...?"

*

She also discovered that she seemed to be followed. When Lian Si Xun got a good look at the person, she was utterly shocked.

It was her fierce-looking, curly-haired fellow police academy student, along with the one she had called "every woman's best friend."

Lian Si Xun: Th-this can't be happening, can it?

"You're definitely Lian Si Xun, right?!"

"Xun... Is that you...?"

*

While working at the café, two customers stared fixedly at Lian Si Xun as she made desserts.

One had wheat-colored skin and striking blond hair, while the other had stubble and catlike eyes.

Lian Si Xun was close to tears.

"All these years... where have you been?"

"Xun... You're okay... Thank goodness."

*

While shopping, Lian Si Xun had just reached for something on a shelf when a hand grabbed her.

The wheat-colored palm was covered in calluses, gripping Lian Si Xun's slender, pale wrist tightly.

The man wearing a knit cap said:

"You're still alive...?"

*

Finally, the System, which should have left for good, came back.

It told Lian Si Xun:

[The worlds have merged.]

Lian Si Xun: Whaaat?!
