Gu Suansuan, an unconventional master of the occult, transmigrates into a sci-fi survival game, where a guy claiming to be a System starts introducing himself in her head without even being asked.
Since she's already here, she may as well make the best of it. Gu Suansuan stays calm, and when in doubt, she casts a divination. The reading says great fortune, so she lazily lies back down.
But this System doesn't seem very bright. Half an hour has passed, and he's still babbling away. She's starting to get annoyed.
So she casually casts another divination and says meaningfully, "Little System, your career prospects look pretty bad to me."
The System freezes, then bursts into tears. In the end, she has to listen to him tell the sad story of his efforts to protect his host for two whole hours.
Gu Suansuan waves a hand with great confidence. No big deal. She's read plenty of System novels. So what if the System is supposed to carry her to victory? She'll be the one carrying him.
What's a locked room? What's a horror survival game? She just has to cast a divination to find the life gate and speedrun the ending.
And so, Gu Suansuan marks the spot, and the System blows it up. Gu Suansuan digs a tunnel, and the System hands her a demolition shovel. She turns a perfectly good horror escape game into a demolition game.

He teleports straight to Gu Suansuan, who's having the time of her life blowing things up, and asks with deep displeasure, "Gu Suansuan, how are you planning to pay for the damage to my game?"
Gu Suansuan shrugs nonchalantly. "I've got no money. You can have my life."
"All right," Shen Ye says with a smile. His beautiful peach-blossom eyes lift at the corners as he steps closer, twirls a loose strand of hair by her ear, and leans in. "Then I'll take your life..."
Only when Gu Suansuan hears the calculating intent in his words does she realize she's somehow sold herself. Still unwilling to accept it, she secretly casts another divination. The result: romantic luck.
Gu Suansuan: ...
