The Moon Grows Dim at Dusk

He had always thought that humans and demons could never be together.

When the girl found out, she glared at him furiously with her almond-shaped eyes.

"That's nonsense!"

"Who says humans and demons are worlds apart? I'd say different paths can lead to the same destination!"

The boy looked at the girl, puffing her cheeks in anger. He pressed his lips together, then gently took her hand.

"What is that, sophistry?"

"Ha, you don't get it." The girl's almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile. "It's an example of anaphora in classical Chinese."

"Humans and demons are worlds apart, yet different paths lead to the same destination."

"It means humans and demons can take different roads and still end up together."

The girl's eyes sparkled, and her lips curved into a tender smile.

She raised their joined hands. "Just like this."

Hand in hand, together forever.

Jin Wan'er was inexplicably snatched by the System and taken to a world overrun by demons.

Jin Wan'er: ?

"So, System, why did you abduct me?"

The System, completely unaware it had kidnapped someone: "Why does it matter? Listen up. I brought you here myself, so you're my bodyguard. You have to protect this boy and make sure he doesn't die. Got it?"

Jin Wan'er: "But I don't know martial arts."

System: "That's fine. Just take the hits for him."

Jin Wan'er: "But then I'll die."

System: "It's fine, I'm here. At worst, it'll hurt for a while."

Jin Wan'er: "But I'm scared of pain."

System: "It's fine. Just tough it out."

Jin Wan'er: "…"

Hmph.

"Find someone else."

System: "…"

Hmph.

"If you want to go home, you have to do as I say. Otherwise, you'll be stuck on this blank page for the rest of your life."

Jin Wan'er: …

A wise person knows when to yield. I can be this bodyguard, can't I?
