Cyberpunk Sweetheart x Refined Yandere
Xin Bai is an ordinary college student with average grades, so-so social skills, heavy bangs, and huge black-rimmed glasses: the standard nerdy girl look.
But before that, she'd been a workaholic, fighting her way through System planes. She worked around the clock, juggling so many assignments she could have done eight jobs in an hour. Even the Main System worried she'd lose her mind, so after she'd worked for 300 years, it hurriedly let her retire early.
After retiring, Xin Bai spent her days lounging around with goji berries in her tea, occasionally watching her former coworkers and their Hosts complete missions and turn their lives around with face-slapping. Life was blissfully comfortable.
Then one day, Xin Bai was sprawled on her bed watching TV and eating a huge watermelon her childhood-neighbor friend had brought over.
A familiar face appeared on the screen. His long hair was tied back in a ponytail. Tall and elegant, he stood there like a green pine or jade, cool and aloof.
Xin Bai sprang up like a carp, and half the watermelon shattered across the floor, just like her soul.
Wasn't that the thirty-second Host she'd ever worked with?
She'd witnessed a master of the ruthless path ascend to immortality with her own eyes, so how had he ended up becoming a model?
A reporter asked the model what had led him to this career.
Facing the camera, the model said each word with earnest care: "I came here to find someone."
Xin Bai: ...
The other half of the watermelon went splat.
Why did it feel like the gossip was about to land right on her?
Later, the tech mogul from a revenge-and-comeback world and the brooding actor who returned to the top after being betrayed came to her world one by one,
then clearly stated that Xin Bai had to take responsibility for them!
She had indeed been their golden finger, but that didn't mean she offered after-sales service!
Just as Xin Bai was at her wits' end with the three of them pestering her, her childhood friend returned.
Xin Bai worried about how to explain this bizarre situation to him. After all, her childhood friend wasn't in the best of health and couldn't take any major shocks.
But then she heard her gentle childhood friend give a cold laugh and yank her into his arms. His eyes turned to ice, his expression dark and sinister, the mole at the corner of his eye red as blood, alluring and dangerous.
He reached out, and a strange black paulownia sword formed in his hand as if assembled from particles.
A frigid wind rose, and a thick, bloody aura rushed toward them.
His pale fingers gently gripped Xin Bai's chin. "I hid you away here, so why are these reckless flies still coming after you?"
In the chaos, a few fragments of Xin Bai's erased memories suddenly came back.
Why did this man look so much like the target of her one and only failed mission?
He was a madman who, when the mission reached 99 percent, suddenly guessed the System plane behind her and the rules governing the world, then destroyed the world.
H-help!!!
