I Am Not an NPC!

Life in the palace never changed. Every morning and evening, attendance was taken without fail. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were exactly the same every day. Even the seasons seemed to cycle by without the slightest difference.

Even the concubines' jealous squabbles all sounded alike. The young emperor had never summoned any of them to his bed, yet the harem was still every bit as chaotic as the stories described.

"So..." Lin Jingyao poked her head out and made sure there wasn't anyone else she needed to bribe. Then, aching with reluctance, she handed over the few silver coins in her purse. "Big Brother Guard, I came to the Imperial Garden in the middle of the night to stretch my legs and add a little fun to my lonely, boring life. That's understandable, right?"

The black-clad guard stared at her coldly, a sharp glint in his narrow eyes.

Before she passed out, Lin Jingyao clearly heard the guard say to someone, "She's just a butt plug."

A butt plug? A plug shoved in by a man who likes men?

Lin Jingyao was furious. She was not a butt plug!

But before she could shout, she lost consciousness completely.

As Liang Hanyuan, who had knocked Lin Jingyao unconscious, listened to the mechanical voice of the System playing the "NPC Protection Regulations," he remained expressionless. "It's just data. Besides, I didn't force a refresh."

In this game, there is only one central objective: win.
