P.S. Please read the content warnings before you start. The author intends for the female lead to be strong!
Shiyu's phone suddenly gained a shady app that she couldn't uninstall until she completed the question bank inside it.
Question One: [Shipwreck Rescue]
"A spaceship is attacked by space pirates and is about to sink. There are 10 people aboard, but only one escape pod, with room for 5. The 10 people are: a 90-year-old Federation doctor, a boy with autism, a famous interstellar singer, a notorious prison warden, a prisoner skilled in navigation, a newly rich Imperial tycoon, a senior mecha mechanic, a mayor who takes bribes, the mayor's assistant, and you. Choose the 5 people who can board the escape pod and survive."
Shiyu frowned and patiently selected five people. But the moment she clicked submit, she appeared aboard a spaceship that was violently rocking. The passengers were the very people from the question bank!
After narrowly escaping death, Shiyu finally returned to reality, only for one deadly question after another to come her way.
Question Two: [The Trolley Problem]
"A madman has tied five people to a track. A trolley is speeding toward them and will run them over in moments. You can pull a lever to switch tracks, sending the trolley onto another track, where only one person is tied up. Now, choose the optimal solution."
Watching the other players solve the puzzle, Shiyu fell into thought...
Question Three: [The Island of Red and Blue Eyes]
"There are 100 players on a deserted island. Some have blue eyes, and some have red eyes. Rule One: Players don't know the color of their own eyes. Rule Two: They can't tell anyone else what color their eyes are. Rule Three: Once players figure out their own eye color, they can choose to kill themselves and return to reality. Answer incorrectly, and they die immediately. Rule Four: When the game ends, the players with the more common eye color are all killed, while those with the less common color win and gain a mysterious ability. Figure out the color of your eyes."
Viewers in the question-bank livestream soon noticed a ruthless female player whose points were skyrocketing. She left a trail of bloodshed in her wake, killing anyone who stood in her way. The viewers were astounded: "You can solve these questions like that?!"

[Content Warnings]
1. The overall tone is dark and brutal, and everyone is a lunatic. If that's not for you, run!
2. Men get tortured, women get tortured, and men and women get tortured together! Female rivalry, male rivalry, and rivalry between men and women!
("Torture" and "rivalry" are physical, not psychological.)
3. The female lead is immortal and the strongest character in the whole story. Whenever she slips up, it's because she doesn't care →_→
4. This story is entirely fictional and set in an alternate modern world. Please don't associate its supernatural abilities or illnesses with real life.
5. I'm struggling badly with writer's block. For now, I'm working on a lighter story on another page to get my groove back.
During serialization, 80% anti-piracy protection for 240 hours. Thanks to everyone supporting the official version on Jinjiang.
*My author page has a completed, silly post-apocalyptic food story, The Otherworldly Cafeteria Is Open for Business. Feel free to check it out.*

I Accidentally Won Over the Female Lead After I Transmigrated into a Book
Since childhood, the arrogant general's only daughter, Chu Lingyun, had loved picking fights with Ye Lanxi, the Left Chancellor's legitimate daughter. Ye Lanxi adored orchids, so Chu Lingyun bought up every orchid in the city, leaving not a single seedling behind. When Ye Lanxi opened a charitable home for the elderly, Chu Lingyun followed suit with an orphanage, competing for fame and fortune. Ye Lanxi liked plain colors, so Chu Lingyun dressed in bright reds and purples every day, flaunting herself in front of her...
Then one day, Chu Lingyun turned over a new leaf and repeatedly declared that she liked Ye Lanxi.
Ye Lanxi pondered it deeply, then suddenly remembered the rare and precious bird she had seen in the empress's garden. When courting, it spread its colorful tail feathers. Her eyes widened, and realization dawned on her...
So all of Chu Lingyun's past behavior had been her showing off her feathers in front of Ye Lanxi...

Junk Collection for Hire: Just Wave and I'll Stop
When people are killed, they die.
When people die, they rot.
So the essence of humanity is junk.
Xia Ye graduated, and as she ran all over the world, her parents sent her a graduation present.
"Yeye, congratulations on graduating from college. The sports car outside is your graduation present. There's something you don't know about our family: we have an ancestral business..."
The rest didn't matter anymore. Xia Ye excitedly rushed to the university gates, where a gleaming three-wheeled vehicle was waiting for her to accept delivery.
Its bright red paint shimmered in the sunlight: We buy junk, 50 cents a pound.
Xia Ye: "..."
Well, it turned out this three-wheeler she couldn't get rid of was actually a System from another dimension. With its help, maybe she could still reach the pinnacle of life?
Just thinking about it made her a little excited~
But why was all the junk the System asked her to collect so strange?
A TV that wailed like a ghost, a doll that danced on the bedside table, a parking lot that screamed in the middle of the night, a humpback whale swimming across a rooftop...
Xia Ye was fishing for junk in the river when she hooked a pretty strange "water monkey." The internet-famous Taoist priest, with millions of followers, protested, "Miss, I'm exorcising evil spirits. You're making this very difficult for me."
Xia Ye kicked him back into the river. Seriously, were people trying to steal junk from her now, too?
Theme: Your fate is in your own hands
I cried when I received the notice of liberation in the new year [burst crying]
Could it be that Aunt Su is the queen?
Madam, there are more updates. The writing is very beautiful!
I asked why I suddenly had more Jinjiang coins. How did this book solve the problem of v?
It's very well written, keep it up~
I saw this in one breath and look forward to the follow-up! The writing is very interesting, some of the puzzles are also very creative, and I really like the heroine who is brave, resourceful and ruthless but does not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Hahahahaha, Zhiduoxing: Danger
Is Xiao Shen really dead?
It's so beautiful, thank you to the author!
Don't guess, don't guess, sister steps on me [love eyes]
