Zou Xu transmigrated into the xianxia game she had developed.
The good news: Her best friend was in the game too, and was doing very well.
The bad news: Zou Xu ended up on the wrong map and somehow became a wanted criminal in the underworld.
To stay alive and get to her friend as soon as possible, she grabbed a random NPC and took him hostage, making him help her escape.
The NPC was gentle, obedient, and knew how to handle things. When Zou Xu got hungry, he cooked for her. When they ran into ghost guards, he shielded her. When she needed a travel permit to leave the realm, he went to the underworld's court and got one for her.
Zou Xu was moved to tears: The people of the underworld are so warmhearted. If you need help, they really come through!

Liu Zhen was the ruler of the underworld. One day, he woke up to find himself sealed and kidnapped by a human cultivator... She coaxed him, saying that as long as he behaved, she wouldn't hurt him. Outrageous! How could he put up with that?
So, determined to kill the cultivator and avenge his humiliation, he poisoned her food, only for Zou Xu to have a purification artifact.
He tried to get the patrol guards' attention, but they thought he and Zou Xu were a couple.
Most ridiculous of all, when he went to the underworld's court to reveal his identity, the judge handed him a marriage certificate?!
Liu Zhen gritted his teeth in fury: Bunch of useless fools! Every last one of you!

Later, Zou Xu finally escaped the underworld and found her friend, only to discover that her friend was completely obsessed with fictional male characters...
Zou Xu was exasperated: Ling Ling, what are you thinking? What's so great about fictional men? Let's conquer the world together!
"Is that so?"
Zou Xu: ?
She turned around and saw Liu Zhen leading a million ghost soldiers toward her.
He pinned her in a corner and pointed at a miniature version of her behind him. "Our kid is old enough to run errands, and you want to abandon us after using us?"
Zou Xu: ???
Zou Xu: !!!
