[Unhinged + Suitor Showdown + Love-Triangle Showdown] (Original title: Why Are There So Many Freaks Around Me?)
“In my last life, I was sentenced to a lifetime without a wife. In this life, I'm surrounded by beauties.”
The ultimate loner, Qi Ran, transmigrated into an ABO world. But as a pure female, she had no choice but to pretend to be a Beta.
She thought she'd been handed the script for an ordinary person's inspirational rise through the ranks. In reality, she was starring in an epic battle between an astonishingly devoted loner and a bunch of unhinged masters of disguise.
Qi Ran was on her way to work.
A delicate little Omega cried out and fell right in front of her, looking as pitiful as a pear blossom in the rain.
She turned around and walked away.
I can't afford to get shaken down. Thanks.
Qi Ran was standing on the street.
A beauty winked at her, and the mood seemed to grow increasingly flirtatious.
Instead, she kindly and warmly pointed out, “You've got eye gunk sparkling in the corner of your eye.”
Qi Ran was slacking off at work and looking at her phone when she got a text from an unknown number.
[Are you wearing pink underwear? So cute.]
“...?” Without changing expression, she replied: [White. Whiter than you'll be on the seventh day after your death.]
Qi Ran got home and saw drops of foul-smelling blood on the table. Beside them was a note with a line of bright red, twisted writing.
[I love you so much, so much, so much. I'll mark you... and become one with you.]
Without batting an eye, she used the note to scoop her cat's poop into a bag. “Tsk, we're out of paper. You stinky cat! You pooped so much!”

Qi Ran was the only pure female in this new ABO world, and she had no idea why she'd been such a loner before.
The strong scent of pheromones made her sneeze. Whenever someone approached, she dodged faster than anyone. After she received all sorts of weird anonymous texts, bloody love letters, and strange gifts...
She voiced the ultimate loner's confusion: “Huh?”
Everyone's so enthusiastic.
But they were a little too enthusiastic.
So Qi Ran decided to find the people harassing her and teach them a lesson. The problem was that everyone around her seemed perfectly normal, and she had no idea who was behind it all!
For a while, she was so baffled she thought she was the one who wasn't normal.
“So that's how it is.” She came to understand the loneliness and world-weariness of being an outsider, and finally decided to turn the tables and join in.
Question them, understand them, become them!
You send unspeakable texts, she sends indescribable texts to everyone.
You write gory love letters, she writes world-shaking love letters to her Schrodinger's lover.
You give strange gifts, she spruces them up and puts them to use, for that same Schrodinger's lover.
After all that, she somehow became famous and got promoted. Everyone in this world thought she'd decided to change the world for the sake of her “Schrodinger's lover,” to teach everyone a lesson.
Qi Ran looked utterly lost. “Huh? Yeah, yeah, exactly.”
In the end, the people harassing her were constantly fighting and clawing at each other in front of her, shouting that they were the one and only “Schrodinger's lover.”
Qi Ran spread her hands and wore the ultimate loner's confused expression for the second time.
Why are you all fighting?
Isn't anyone going to fight me? I'm not done acting yet!
#First time playing a psycho, and I'm hooked##Been alone too long and gone crazy, now I'm crying##Wait, is that what you call being a loner? What are you, then?#!
Reader's Guide:
1. The heroine wants to be an ordinary office worker in a leveling-up story, but ends up becoming an unhinged partner in crime who attracts a sea of admirers without realizing it. (Not really.)
2. This novel is fictional, mainly for fun. If you meet anyone like this in real life, run!
3. Everyone's a villain, except the heroine, whose style is one of a kind. The unhinged stalkers are all great at pretending. All genders of A/B/O are represented. Come play detective and guess who they are!
4. The general setup is that everyone has a one-sided crush. Expect a love-triangle showdown, lots of swooning, madness, and laughs. It's a weird kind of story.
Theme: Protect yourself wherever you are.
