After I Died, the Female Lead Went Crazy [Quick Transmigration]

Original title: To Achieve Great Things, You Must First Play Dead

Blurb and title updated on December 6, 2025. Paragraph comments are now open.

Quick transmigration × a love rivalry × she pursues, she flees × satisfying romance

System: There's bad news and worse news. Which one do you want to hear?

Jiang Que: What's the difference?

System: One has the word “worse” in it.

Jiang Que: Start with the bad news.

System: A bug cropped up in one of your previous mission worlds, and the female lead has inexplicably broken down. You need to return to the original world to fix it.

Jiang Que: And the worse news?

System: You forgot? The “characters” you played in those mission worlds are all dead!

Jiang Que: ...

What the hell is this supposed to mean!?

But the world's bug already existed and the female lead had already broken down. To ensure it could retire successfully, Support System 1005 had no choice but to return to the source world with Jiang Que, investigate the cause of the bug, and find a way to resolve the female lead's breakdown.

The more they investigated, the more Jiang Que felt something was off.

The System said knowingly, “Do you feel especially sorry for her? Does it hurt to see her cry, and make you happy to see her smile? When she likes you, do you feel your heart flutter and want to be with her too?”

Jiang Que was surprised. “How do you know exactly how I feel?”

The System sounded world-weary. “You're falling in love. You've turned gay!!”

Jiang Que covered her face. “Isn't that kind of embarrassing?”

The System sneered. “If you're embarrassed, then stop grinning like a fool.”

[World One: Paranoid, gloomy CEO × the goddess who died young, her unforgotten love]

The CEO threw a black card in front of her, looking at her with the disgust one might show a stain. “Take this million and don't even think about being her replacement.”

Jiang Que looked at the photo of her own face: “...”

Who wants to be my own replacement?

[World Two: Brilliant eldest disciple × the master who sacrificed herself for the Way]

Her once-adorable disciple had become a ruthless new palace master. She glared murderously at the woman before her, who looked exactly like her master, and pointed the sharp blade of her Yunbo Sword at her. “How dare you, demon, impersonate my master?”

Jiang Que: “...”

Who are you calling a demon? You ungrateful disciple, betraying your own master!

I taught you swordsmanship, you traitor!

[World Three: Martial arts alliance leader × her righteous comrade who fell to her death from a cliff]

The martial arts alliance leader looked at the woman before her as if she had risen from the dead. Her eyes were fierce, full of venom and resentment, as she sneered, “I knew you weren't dead! You faked your death just to escape me!?”

Jiang Que: “…”

Can't we talk this out? Why are you putting chains on me?

I thought you were supposed to be a paragon of righteousness. Isn't your way of loving a little too extreme?

Other worlds loading...

(The author swears she's really thinking about it!)

#We were supposed to fix the bug, so how did this turn into a desperate game of push and pull with the female lead? #

#And it seems like they all recognize me#

Bonus scene:

System 1005 studied the violation report and stroked its chin. “This violation report feels familiar. Your current predicament reminds me of an old acquaintance.”

Jiang Que: “Who? Which senior? I'll go ask her for advice.”

System 1005 clutched its head in despair. “A retired mission-taker named Wen Nuan.”

System 1005 wailed, “And you want her advice? She's even less reliable than you!”

Jiang Que: “…”

Next up: My Obsessive Female Lead Loves Me but Can't Have Me

Original title: You Really Love Me as Much as Your Own Life?

Blurb revised on May 24, 2026.

System: [Someone has offered the most sincere prayer to the gods, just to give you another chance at life.]

The protagonists, all pursuers, looked at the note labeled [Person Praying] and fell silent as a group.

The System asked cautiously, [Um... don't you find it moving? They love you so much, don't they?]

The protagonists, all pursuers, asked themselves three soul-searching questions: We chose to die! Why bring us back to life? What do they love about us?

Do they love how we scammed them out of money and toyed with their feelings?

Do they love the fact that we're strangers who've only met them a few times?

Do they love how power-hungry, cold-blooded, and devious we are?

Until

The person they'd ignored, wronged, used, abandoned, and avoided truly stood before them, covered in scars and eyes overflowing with love.

#So her love was real, and so was the pain in her heart#

#But is there still time to make things right?#

[Anthology · pursuer-focused · mutual redemption]

World One: Washed-up actor kept as a lover × insecure CEO with a cold face and a warm heart

CEO (offering a black card and resources): I'm sorry. I have nothing going for me except money.

Kept lover (quietly taking it): Nothing going for you? That's a bad pun. I'm deducting money.

World Two: Gifted senior disciple × the most powerful leader of the immortal path, who has crippling social anxiety

Leader (ears burning red as she blocks her path): I won't do anything to you. I just want to keep you by my side and look at you, that's all.

Senior disciple (raising an eyebrow): Just look? What a pity.

World Three: Palace maid in dire straits × ruthless empress dowager who holds power over the court

Empress dowager (gripping her chin): I have never done anything improper to you. Why are you so resistant?

Maid (gazing at her sadly): That's exactly the problem. You never have.

World Four: Popular streamer × honest, wealthy top-ranked fan

Top fan (shyly joining the stream): I just want to see you. Even through a screen, that's enough.

Streamer (leaning closer to the camera): It doesn't have to be through a screen.

More worlds in the works. The author is racking her brains~

[Bonus scene]

System: So what is it they love about you?

The protagonist, a pursuer, was silent for a long time before smiling gently. “Perhaps they love the part of me that even we hate, but that someone was willing to see with their whole heart.”

System: ...Got it. I'll add “hopeless romantic” to the core code.
