After Being Courted, I Became the World's Master

Lin Zhiliu was suddenly told that the world she lived in was about to be destroyed because its plot was too thin.

To save itself, the world's consciousness turned itself into a game, drawing players from other planes of existence to flesh out the story.

World Consciousness: "The problem is... I need a core NPC to guide the players."

Lin Zhiliu looked at the game System panel in front of her. "So that's why you want me to become an overworked nine-to-nine-six wage slave?"

In another plane, a high-freedom full-dive game called Superpower City became a huge hit.

In the game, players could become members of a powerful organization operating behind the scenes, throwing money around as they vied for the shining jewel at its very top: a willful young heiress as alluring as a wild rose;

They could join the Royal Army and follow the Twelve Royal Guards, whose guiding light shone like a beacon, to forge a path through the darkness between patriotism and being a manipulated pawn;

They could become rebels against the world, sowing seeds of hope in a world like a mire and vowing to let the spring breeze awaken every inch of suffering land;

They could also become morally ambiguous night operatives, pursuing freedom through their actions amid the chaos;

And in every faction, there was always an indispensable character, a target for players to pursue who shone like a beacon.

Player Forum:

[Waaah, I only started playing because of Cecil's beauty. Who knew that underneath her spoiled exterior, the young lady would be the most strong-willed of them all?]

[My Twelve Royal Guards! My Wuluofu! We'd already seen hope, hadn't we? Why make a righteous person who yearned so much for the light fall alone in the darkness before dawn? The devs have no heart!]

[Honestly, I joined the Resistance because I had my eye on Chief Strategist Aierlin. She's frail and sickly, but always has everything under control. She's always so confident, steadfast in her convictions, and never gives in. Every time one of her plans succeeds, the smug little look on her face makes my heart flutter. Waaah, I've turned gay! Mom, I want to marry her!]

[I just met Qige, the real boss of the Night Organization! She's so adorable, so uninhibited and sly, but incredibly imposing when she's serious. Get in on this, folks, you won't regret it!]

After working herself to the bone at countless jobs, playing the heiress, the top Twelve Royal Guard, the Resistance's chief strategist, the intelligence organization's leader, and more, then successfully defecting, faking her death, conquering cities, and finally reaching the pinnacle of the world, Lin Zhiliu opened the player forum.

"Let's see how much richer the story has gotten, and what new stunts the players have pulled..."

Looking at the forum, where wails of despair and pants were flying everywhere, Lin Zhiliu fell silent.

She touched her not-quite-cold conscience, logged onto the forum, and replied, "Um... is it possible, and I mean just possible, that the Twelve Royal Guard you all are crying over is actually a villain?"

The other players rebuked her. "Could you shut up? You're just someone playing a game. What the hell do you know about Wuluofu?"
