Don't Play Dead on a Whim, Feed [Infinite]

[Begging you to add this to your collection] [Sweet-looking girl with off-the-charts combat power x wealthy, swaggering young master with money to burn]

[Both are strong, but she's stronger | Bickering lovers | Plot and romance in equal measure | Updates whenever]

Blurb

The apocalypse arrives, and everyone is dragged into a deadly game called Daylight.

No one knows when it will begin or when it will end.

In other people's eyes, Yun Sui is a sweet-looking, mild-mannered office worker.

A shy smile, skin like a porcelain doll.

In a crowd, she is utterly ordinary.

So when the game began, no one paid any attention to her.

If they had an impression of her at all, it was that she was a timid girl who fainted easily.

Until one day, people saw this seemingly frail girl rip apart hundreds of evil spirits with one hand and a blank expression, climb thirty stories without stopping to hit the end button, and, to break the game, grab a rope, tie it around herself, and leap from a hundred-story building without even blinking.

You call that a sweet little girl?!

That's just ridiculous!!!

[Haunted Hotel Instance]

The hotel looks peaceful and serene, but in the middle of the night it becomes a playground for evil spirits.

A female ghost had only just poked half her head out of a mirror when the person looking into it had already collapsed.

The ghost stared in confusion. I haven't even done anything yet!

I want to report this! Someone here is faking death and trying to frame me!

Just as the ghost cautiously approached, the person who had supposedly been scared to death began to writhe and convulse. Their eyes rolled back, frightening the ghost half to death and sending it fleeing.

A while later, Yun Sui calmly got up from the floor and elegantly applied lipstick in front of the mirror.

[Merfolk Homeland Instance]

Amid the mysteries of the deep sea, legend has it that the sirens' wondrous voices enchant people into rushing toward the ocean's prison.

But before the siren had even started singing, the girl sitting at the front of the crowd had already collapsed. She was foaming at the mouth, bleeding from both ears, and convulsing all over.

The wealthy young master was used to playing these instances and normally would have ignored a rookie like her. But as the crazed crowd started marching into the sea under the siren's coaxing, their chaotic footsteps were about to trample the girl.

He watched the supposedly dead girl stubbornly drag herself along until she reached a safe spot. Only then did she close her eyes in relief. In such a dangerous place, she actually... fell straight asleep.

The young master, who had seen the whole thing: That's actually pretty impressive.

[Grudge-Bound Couple Instance]

Yun Sui and that young master were assigned to the same team. They could leave the empty room only if they fell in love with each other.

The young master didn't even think before heading straight for the door, only to find it firmly locked.

He turned back to Yun Sui, who had confessed to him thousands of times, curled his lips mockingly, and sneered. "Hah."

Yun Sui, spreading her hands innocently: ??? I was just making stuff up. That counts as a confession???

[Faking death or fainting anytime, anywhere x A problem money can't solve]

[There is a romantic storyline, which makes up roughly 40% of the plot.]

[Infinite-flow imagination + melodramatic mash-up]

Reader's guide:

1. This is my first time trying this kind of genre, so please don't attack me personally, my dears. orz

2. The idea came from a line I suddenly thought of: Don't go around faking your death! The female lead spends the whole story playing dead and lazing around.

3. This blurb was first screenshotted on 2023.8.30, revised on 2025.3.7

4. I was writing two novels at once back then, so I put this one aside for a while. I won't abandon it. If I start a story, I'll finish it, guaranteed. I really like this premise =3=, and I hope I can write some fun stories with wild ideas.

5. I'm not lying, trust me!

Coming next

[Cold-blooded, heartless junior sister x Gullible senior brother]

Ming Ying died, and before she did, she accidentally dragged someone down with her.

She hadn't looked carefully at the time. It wasn't until she was reborn that she found out he was her second senior brother, Fu Xunsheng, who cultivated the Heartless Dao. Even if he were tossed into the Union of Joy Sect, he could escape unscathed with only his sword and himself.

The good news: They belonged to the same sect.

The bad news: He retained the memories of his previous life.

Seeing that Fu Xunsheng was about to hunt her down, Ming Ying hurriedly wrote a vicious wish on a Fate-Binding Leaf. Unfortunately, he arrived just then, and an accident happened.

In her panic, Ming Ying accidentally added a little stroke in the middle of the words "fall in love with me." The stroke looked so much like a dash that the phrase became "fall in love, with me."

Ming Ying: ...I really can't thank you enough.

Seeing her senior brother in white robes, his features cool and aloof, Ming Ying took three steps back.

She gritted her teeth, thinking that she could get away with playing with his feelings, but how had she ended up getting dragged into it herself?

But the Fate-Binding Leaf didn't seem to have worked.

That's what Ming Ying thought, until her senior brother, the very model of a virtuous man, subdued the darkness in his eyes and bound her hands with a cold jade-glass hair ribbon.

Only when he coaxed her into a passionate embrace with his eternally indifferent tone did she finally realize: To hell with the Heartless Dao! Bro, you're practicing it all wrong!!!

Ming Ying concluded: I knew hardly anyone could successfully ascend by cultivating the Heartless Dao.

*

In his previous life, Fu Xunsheng was devoted heart and soul to the sword. No matter how hard he trained, he always fell just short. Ascension was only a step away, and people said his Dao heart was firm and his ascension was imminent.

Only he knew that he might never ascend in this life.

There was a lazy, greedy disciple in his sect named Ming Ying. In his previous life, he treated her like a passerby, yet repeatedly came to her aid when she was in danger. He thought he had at least done her some favors, but when she fell to demonic cultivation and broke her Dao, she dragged him into the heavenly tribulation. He died.

After death, his lonely ghost drifted for over a hundred years.

Later, when he opened his eyes again, he discovered he had returned to the moment the two of them first met. Looking at the smiling woman across from him, he tightened his grip on his sword. He was indignant and could not understand how someone like her could be so heartless.

He raised his sword, intending to forget their past and start over, when he heard Ming Ying mutter behind him, "So that big unlucky guy I randomly dragged down to die with me in my last life was him. Tsk, poor thing."

Across both his lives, Fu Xunsheng had never been as angry as he was now.

He had thought he was just a passerby in Ming Ying's life, but as far as Ming Ying was concerned, he was nothing more than a complete stranger.

The next second, Ming Ying stared at the sword pointed at her. The icy man across from her said in a stern voice, "Ming Ying."

Ming Ying nodded awkwardly.

Her cold and distant senior brother glanced at her. "When we meet again, I'll kill you."

Ming Ying sucked in a sharp breath.

No way, bro, you were reborn too?!

Theme: Defy worldly conventions, and stay romantic forever.
