Wu Li is a boss, or more precisely, a game boss.
The first time she realized she was a boss, a group of people were shouting that she should be killed, but her health bar didn't budge.
They cried out, "Isn't this boss way overpowered?"
"Even the number one player on the server can't hurt her."
With a casual wave of her hand, she turned them into a pile of vanishing data.
And so Wu Li understood: she wasn't just a boss, she was incredibly strong.
Someone as strong as her was naturally destined to rule this world called a game.
Universe is a full-dive game that has taken the interstellar world by storm. Produced by the authorities, it's widely recognized as the only game capable of training mental strength. For decades since its release, it's remained stable and powerful.
But recently, a huge bug appeared. The boss of the latest update's new dungeon couldn't be hurt by anyone, and if you angered her, she'd chase you out of the dungeon and beat you up.
As time went on, people also started spotting a petite, human-shaped boss wandering all over the game.
The boss stayed on the interstellar trending charts for a month before the officials finally gave a simple reply.
"There's nothing the authorities can do, either."
Later, players discovered that if the boss beat them up and they didn't return to the respawn point, their mental strength steadily increased. The entire player base went wild.
"Getting my daily beating from Sis Li~"
"Sis Li didn't beat me up today. I'm sobbing, QAQ."
"What's wrong with you people?! Where's your dignity?! Your fighting spirit?! (Sis Li's dog tag fell off. Pick it up and put it back on.)"
After conquering the world, Wu Li watched the players lining up to be beaten by her and fell into deep thought...
[Reading Guide]:
1. The heroine isn't a mature, domineering woman. Her human form is an adorable young girl, and the main appeal is the contrast of a violent little girl.
2. This is a lighthearted, everyday story about an overpowered character showing off. The logic is dead, so it's best enjoyed without overthinking.
3. The male lead is Ming You. The heroine remains the strongest: the hero is strong, but she's even stronger.

Nan Xi thought she must have laughed too hard at unlucky people in short videos in her previous life and lost too much good karma. That's why she'd ended up as the heroine of a melodramatic, angst-filled xianxia novel.
According to the original story, she'd be mistaken for a substitute by the man she loved, drugged and forced into his bed, hated by the entire sect, and finally killed by a thousand arrows piercing her heart.
The good news: she got bound to a System.
The bad news: it had come to stabilize the little world and make her follow the plot. If she didn't, it would kill her.
Nan Xi: Heh.
The System promised that once she'd followed the plot and completed her mission, it would unlock a big reward for her, letting her live out the rest of her life in peace.
Nan Xi didn't believe it, but had no choice. She could only follow the plot to the letter.
So when the sect leader comforted her, saying, "There are plenty of fish in the sea. Why pine for just one?" she pressed her lips together, shook her head, and ran off to practice her sword with tears in her eyes, striking every blow as if she were hacking at the scumbag's face.
[Hit the scumbag 9,997 times, hit the scumbag 9,998 times, hit the scumbag 9,999 times. Hehe, another hard day of hitting the scumbag.]
The sect leader, who had been shaking his head in disappointment at his stubborn disciple: ? It seemed he had more than just his disciple to worry about.
When her martial uncle decided to take her out to clear her head, she loudly delivered the classic lines while inwardly keeping well away from him.
[This martial uncle is so unreliable. No way am I dressing up as a man and going to a brothel with him.]
Martial uncle: ??? Niece, you've got the wrong idea
Later, when her beautiful, tall, perfectly proportioned junior sister, the girl of her dreams, returned, Nan Xi put on a jealous act while secretly drooling.
[Hehehe, beauty... Such a beauty, hehehe. Let me hug you, touch you, snuggle up to you! Ah, that awful scumbag is getting in the way of me being affectionate with my beauty.]
Junior sister: ...
Nan Xi considered herself a brilliant actress. She followed the plot perfectly and even specifically told the System to change her appearance and send her back to the sect for a fresh start.
It wasn't until the scumbag was about to kill her and the climactic scene of a thousand arrows piercing her heart finally arrived that everyone from the sect stepped forward to stand up for her.
The sect leader's white hair and sleeves fluttered as he blocked the way at the front, shouting, "Who dares lay a hand on my disciple?!"
Her usually jovial martial uncle turned cold. As a mighty cultivator, he pointed his long sword, and everyone fell silent in fear.
Her junior sister changed into men's clothes and held her in her arms, giving that despicable scumbag a provocative smile. "Sorry, Xi Xi likes me."
?? Wait, why are my junior sister's pecs so huge?
After the plot had failed completely, Nan Xi waited several days for the message that she'd be erased. In the end, all she got was the System's cold, mechanical voice.
[The little world's plot has been successfully altered. A happy ending has been achieved. We wish the Host a pleasant journey.]
Theme: Every independent mind shines brightly.
