Yuan Zhi was a homebody. Her greatest pleasures in life were reading novels and comics and playing games. She was a complete good-for-nothing, and her family couldn't stand that she had no job and spent all day enjoying herself. Through a connection, they got her a job in the rescue department of the quick transmigration bureau. There were too many people in the small worlds who had done nothing wrong but met tragic ends, sparking widespread public outrage, so the rescue department was established.
Unfortunately, Yuan Zhi had only just started the job, and she'd been single her whole life. Her idea of rescue was still the kind of selfless, noble love in novels, where someone would willingly die for the person they loved.
World One:
The rescue target was a gentle second male lead. As the heroine's childhood friend, he helped her quietly and expected nothing in return. In the end, he even calmly gave his life to save the man she loved. Before dying, he gazed up at the sky and spoke his final words: "I wish someone would love me..."
It was enough to make anyone who heard it grieve and anyone who saw it weep. The System wiped away its tears and asked Yuan Zhi, "Can you handle this job?"
Yuan Zhi confidently patted her chest. "Leave it to me."
He was just starved for love, and this was what she was best at. Yuan Zhi became the gentle second male lead's devoted admirer. She turned a small love into a great one, confessing once a day, following him once a day, taking his picture once a day, delivering three home-cooked meals a day, and giving him a handwritten love letter once a day... And in the end, she was even willing to die to fulfill the gentle second male lead's wish!
How was that? Noble, right? Selfless, right? Yuan Zhi looked at the System, expecting praise.
The System expressionlessly brought up what happened after Yuan Zhi died: the gentle second male lead clutched her body and wept, then drank pesticide and killed himself. His last words were, "I... never got the chance... to tell you I love you..."
Th-this had to be some kind of mistake. That wasn't how it went in Gakara Gomu. Let's try again!
World Two: A princess fell in love with the neighboring kingdom's prince, who had been raised in her home since childhood. But the prince fell in love with a mermaid princess. The princess was tormented by it, but couldn't bring herself to hurt the person she loved. She went down a path of self-harm and eventually killed herself to let the prince and the mermaid princess be together.
It was enough to make anyone who heard it grieve and anyone who saw it weep. The System wiped away its tears and looked at Yuan Zhi uncertainly. "Are you sure... you can handle this job?"
"I can, I can," Yuan Zhi assured it again.
But the princess snatched the dark, brooding role away from her this time, so Yuan Zhi settled for a sunny but obsessive character. She became a little mermaid who had just come ashore and trusted no one but the princess. Whenever the princess went away, the little mermaid cried, so the princess had to hold her while feeding her and hold her while she slept... The little mermaid was pure and innocent, but she would bite anyone who hurt the princess. In the end, unwilling to leave her, she dissolved into sea foam in the princess's arms.
The princess was a man, but that didn't get in the way of Yuan Zhi's plan at all. She looked to the System for praise again.
The System expressionlessly continued playing what happened after Yuan Zhi died: the princess jumped into the sea and followed her in death.
Damn it, you little brat. You tricked me!
Yuan Zhi's fighting spirit was roused. She ground her teeth and declared indignantly, "Again!"
World Three:
The person who needed saving was a priest who loved all people. In the end, though, the people he protected branded him a sorcerer spreading heresy and burned him alive.
It was enough to make anyone... Never mind. Even the System no longer dared to cry this time. It swallowed hard and asked Yuan Zhi, "Maybe... we should just give up?"
Yuan Zhi shook her head. This time, she became a newborn little demon, playing harmless pranks every day. The priest always forgave her for being a naughty girl, wiping the dirt from her face and paws and coaxing her to sleep. Under the priest's influence, the little demon slowly became good. When the priest was framed, she kept it from him and took his place, letting the people they had once helped burn her alive.
Yuan Zhi asked, "What about this time?"
The System waved a hand helplessly. After Yuan Zhi died, the priest killed everyone they had helped who had turned around and harmed them.
Yuan Zhi: "...Again."
World Four: The world was on the brink of destruction, and a band of heroes set out on a journey to save it. But the world was cruel. By the time Yuan Zhi arrived at the heroes' side as the goddess who would save the world, only the hero remained in the party. He looked at her with hollow eyes and asked, "Who exactly have you come to save?"
Yuan Zhi traveled with the hero, bringing all his companions back to life. On the day the hero returned to the place where their journey began, his hometown, the goddess finally could no longer bear the cost of resurrecting the dead and vanished from the world.
Yuan Zhi panted. "...This time it worked, right?"
The System was on the verge of tears. "Not really. The hero killed himself again."
Yuan Zhi: "..."
That's all the worlds for now. More may be added later.
