The Artifact Spirit Toddler Refuses to Be the Group's Little Darling

[Saving this for later: The Fake Heiress's Little Cart Sweeps Across the Planet. You can find it at the top of my profile. The blurb is at the very bottom.]

Xunjue is the spirit of a magical artifact, and she has only had a human form for a few hundred years.

She chased a thief who had snuck into an illusion to steal treasure. After passing through a strange curtain of light, she became dizzy and lost consciousness.

When she opened her eyes, she had been dumped into a survival game's scenario.

As a young artifact spirit, petite and soft Xunjue was indistinguishable from a human child. All the players in the game despised her.

"Do you think this is really a game? It can get you killed!"

"Hurry up and go away. Don't come along and drag us down, kid!"

(So mortals are playing a game. I still have to find my lost treasure, so you'll have to excuse me.)

In the game.

Xunjue: "The rules are picking on a goddess. Why do I have to play a mortal's game too?"

In the item-finding scenario, most players lost their minds in the dark. Only those who stayed by Xunjue's side remained clearheaded.

"Xunxun smells so nice. I'd rather die than leave her."

Xunjue: "???" You're all scheming, aren't you?

In the challenge scenario, players shrieked in terror and fled from monsters, but a group of people willingly stood in front of Xunjue.

"Our precious Xunxun, let us shield you from every danger."

Xunjue: "..." Do I need you to protect me?

Later on.

"Xunxun is our lucky star! Xunxun has the magic touch!"

"Tasty food? It's Xunxun's. Items? Those belong to Xunxun too."

"Whatever Xunxun says goes. We'll follow her without question. We're the Xunxun Protection Alliance!"

Xunjue learned a new concept.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Stay away! I don't want to be everyone's darling!"

While retrieving the treasures of the Celestial Realm, Xunjue uncovered the secret behind the survival game.

"You forced me to play a mortal's game. Just wait and see what I do to you!"

A few notes:

1. The scenarios come in all kinds. I'll write whatever comes to mind.

2. The male lead is mostly in the background and appears later.

3. This is my first time writing an infinite-flow story. Please forgive me if it's not very good.

Blurb for The Fake Heiress's Little Cart Sweeps Across the Planet:

Overworked office worker Kulisi died from working overtime. Just before her consciousness faded, she heard a voice and was given a chance to be reborn.

After being reborn, Kulisi was dazed and forced to absorb a flood of information. She also had to face the "mother" before her, who was deeply in debt and about to be sent for humane destruction.

"Seriously? This is what being reborn is like?" Kulisi wailed.

A few days later, having found a way out of her predicament, Kulisi embarked on a plan to pay off her debts and make a fortune.

By day, she sold goods from her little cart. By night, she was a shadow walker who operated in secret.

Then the young master of one of the Star Tower's three great families came looking for her, claiming she was the family's long-lost daughter.

After entering the upper levels of Star Tower, Kulisi found no relatives other than the young master, and received none of the pocket money a family should provide.

Day one: How can one of the three great families be this poor?

Day two: They put on a good show of being nobles, but everything feels off. That young master is clearly a fake.

Day N: Oh no, I think I'm a fake heiress too!

After being caught up in Star Tower's turmoil for several days, Kulisi's cartful of goods gave people a vitality they had never experienced before, sweeping across the planet.

At the same time, she also learned a certain secret.

"Whether it's real or fake doesn't matter. What matters is the purpose of this body."

Theme: Go with the flow.
