The Beloved One’s Strange Tale Simulator

You downloaded a boring game called Delivery Simulator.

You wake up in a shabby rented room. The landlord's son is getting married, and you have three days to move out.

Just then, your high school classmate Jiang Li calls and invites you to stay at her villa.

You happily agree.

Once the main story begins, you start delivering takeout and receive an order for an abandoned school building.

But you die after climbing just thirteen steps into the school.

Staring at the blood-red GAME OVER on your phone screen, you feel bored and furious.

How could a noble player die so carelessly? You're going to deliver this order, no matter what!

After dying in nearly thirty bizarre ways, you finally get the food into the customer's hands.

The customer is a slender, delicate-looking girl. She seems conflicted as she takes the order.

You keep making deliveries. Every time, it takes dozens of deaths before you manage to get the food to the customer.

Maybe it's just your imagination, but the customers always seem to have something they want to say after receiving their food.

Eventually, they all become regulars.

Su Qingyu, an elegant, mature woman, offers you an umbrella when it rains. The delicate young girl Chi Shengyi shoves you out of the way just as you're about to get hit by a car. Gentle student Yuan Shixi carefully bandages your wounds every time, and even Jiang Li, who used to be cool and aloof, has become very clingy.

You don't pay any attention to it.

Not long afterward, you attend a class reunion. You lament that Jiang Li couldn't make it, but your other classmates tell you Jiang Li died back in high school.

You still don't care. Your classmates: "..."

After all, you're just an utterly ordinary delivery rider.

The rulers of Fenghua City's urban legends have never been so confused.

The delivery rider in a yellow uniform and baseball cap always shows up in their domains right on time: the abandoned school, the midnight subway, the haunted apartment... with a steaming hot meal in hand.

They've tried everything: pushing her down the stairs, cutting her throat to pieces, even grinding her into a pulp... Yet every time, she stands at the door, completely unharmed and expressionless. "Your order has arrived. Don't forget to leave a five-star review."

Since they can't kill her, all they can do is watch.

Little by little, their eyes are drawn to that yellow figure.

She's just an ordinary delivery rider, but her eyes are utterly unflinching. Even they, the terrifying rulers of urban legends, can't get so much as a reaction out of her.

Not long afterward, she disappears, and the rulers of the urban legends begin to lose control.

The ordinary office worker Zhu Buyu finds something a little strange.

The newly recruited senior executive at her company, Su Qingyu, looks just like an NPC from the game.

The parachuted-in general manager, Chi Shengyi, looks just like an NPC from the game.

Even the new cleaning lady, Yuan Shixi, looks like an NPC from the game.

The young new director is none other than Jiang Li, her high school classmate in the game.

Zhu Buyu doesn't care about any of it. After all, she's just an utterly ordinary office worker.

[Welcome to the Immortal Realm game assistant. What is the player's name?]

[Chu He]

[Which sect has the player chosen?]

[Nine Tribulations Sword Sect]

A daily routine of leveling up and farming, with the occasional flower delivery to the young ladies and all kinds of scheming to raise their affection levels.

Give loving encouragement to a fiancee whose memories have been erased and who now thinks her enemy is her mother. Help a senior sister entangled by inner demons break free from her obsessions. Heal a saintess whose body has been taken over so she can return to herself...

Chu He thinks she's helped plenty of people, but she can't understand why they all want to beat her to death.

Chu He: This is boring. Time to switch accounts!

Xie Linglong goes undercover in the Nine Tribulations Sword Sect to take revenge, only to discover that her birth parents arranged a childhood betrothal for her. Her fiancee isn't just an ordinary girl with no aptitude for cultivation, she's also an idiot.

She behaves strangely and hurls obscenities at Xie Linglong every now and then. She doesn't just offend Xie Linglong, either. The upright and dignified senior sister develops inner demons from Chu He's constant pestering, while the radiant saintess is possessed by Chu He and made to do all sorts of humiliating things...

Xie Linglong is utterly disgusted by Chu He, but can't act against her because of her identity.

But later, she learns the truth: she is the real Xie Linglong. She has mistaken her enemy for her mother and stained her hands with the blood of her fellow disciples. In her utter despair, Xie Linglong no longer wants to live.

But Chu He ignores the condemnation of everyone around her and says tenderly, "You still have me."

In reality: The pet's feeling emo. Better comfort her fast, or it'll disrupt the farming.

Xie Linglong: She really does love me that much?

There's someone in this world who will always love her, no matter where she comes from or what her identity is. Xie Linglong thinks that person must be Chu He.

She wants to spend her life with Chu He, but instead Chu He takes Zhuang Sicheng and the others by the hand and tells her, "Perfect timing. Let's all get along from now on."

Xie Linglong feels like she's thrown her whole heart to the dogs and wants to kick Chu He away.

Later, she hears the news that Chu He has died, but knows Chu He is immortal, so she doesn't worry.

A year, then two. Xie Linglong receives no word from Chu He, and starts to panic.

Meanwhile, Chu He is thinking: New account! Starting from scratch. Let's see if I can't raise everyone's affection levels this time!

But she hasn't done anything yet. How have all the NPCs' affection levels already maxed out?

Xie Linglong clings tightly to her, her lashes drooping as she grits her teeth. "If you're going to die, take me with you!"

Xie Linglong once thought about giving up, but realized that in the end, she couldn't bear to.

Theme: She was a player who had accidentally wandered into a world of horror, but as a player, she broke the shackles of its laws and redeemed the rulers of the supernatural, bringing light back to the whole world.
