Do You Really Have to Love Me Like Your Life Depends on It?

[Female-led romance|Anthology|Mutual salvation|The love interest pursues the protagonist]

System: [Someone offered the most sincere prayers to the gods, all to give you another chance at life.]

The male leads looked at the note marked [Person Who Prayed] and fell silent as a group.

The System asked tentatively: [Um... don’t you find that touching? They all love you so much, you know?]

The male leads, with three soul-searching questions: “We died, so what? Who cares! Why bring us back? What do they love about us? That we swindled them out of money and played with their feelings? That we’re strangers who’ve only met them a few times? That we’re power-hungry, stupid, blind, heartless, and crooked?”

The female protagonists answered without a trace of shame: “What’s wrong with being hopeless romantics?”

World One: Washed-up actress kept by a wealthy patron × Insecure CEO who’s cold on the outside but warm at heart

In the eyes of outsiders, the CEO was decisive, cold, and aristocratic. In front of her, though, she was humble and timid.

Clutching a black card and access to the best resources, the CEO hid her helplessness in her eyes and rasped, “I’m sorry. I have nothing going for me except money.”

The washed-up actress accepted all that affection without hesitation, her eyes curving with amusement. “You’re a hundred million things to me. Perfect, then. I’ll take all of you.”

World Two: Self-destructive class monitor VS Quiet, unnoticed admirer

The shy, inconspicuous girl hid a grand secret crush that no one knew about. Her greatest joy each day was secretly gazing at the girl by the window.

The girl secretly rejoiced: “Hehe, I managed to sneak another look today. I’m so happy.”

Watching her furtive yet passionate gaze, the class monitor wondered, “Is she glaring at me? Is this a crush or an assassination plot?”

World Three: Bride brought in to bring good fortune VS Headstrong eldest daughter who runs the household

The eldest daughter who ran the household was ruthless and cold, but she was possessive and jealous when it came to the bride brought in to bring good fortune.

She pretended to be cold as she made things difficult for her: “My elder brother is short-lived. You should find someone to protect you as soon as possible.”

The gentle bride rubbed her forehead helplessly. “Say what you really mean.”

The eldest daughter, who had just been radiating authority, immediately crumbled and clung to her, all aggrieved. “Please look at me more, and please be kind to me.”

World Four: Description pending. I’ll definitely write it; I changed my mind about the original setting and want to try something else.

My next book will be "Transmigrated into a Book, and Now My Entire Clan Is to Be Executed?"

Blurb

What should I do after transmigrating into a high-risk profession in a novel?

Chang Songlan was curious. Was she a princess? A consort? A daughter of a noble family? Or a wandering swordswoman?

System: None of those.

Chang Songlan was puzzled. Then what am I?

System: A palace physician about to have her entire clan executed.

Chang Songlan: ...

*

Chang Songlan transmigrated into a novel she had stayed up all night reading, a story crammed with brainless drama, melodrama, tragic romance, and stand-ins, among other tropes. She became a disposable character.

The System told her that the role came with certain risks. If she saved lives and healed the injured to earn enough points, she could extend her lifespan and be reborn.

On her first day there, Chang Songlan knelt on the ground and listened as the emperor held his beloved woman and roared the familiar line:

“If you can’t save my beloved consort, then every last one of you will be buried with her! I’ll have your entire clans executed!”

Chang Songlan, a member of the Imperial Medical Bureau: ...

At death’s door, Chang Songlan used her medical knowledge to treat the consort, save her own life, and earn points.

On her way home, she found an injured woman. Excited by the points within reach, she hurried to treat her.

The next day, the patient she had healed had vanished without a trace. But Chang Songlan had received her points, so she didn’t give it much thought.

Later, at a state banquet, assassins suddenly attacked. Someone shielded her in the chaos, and Chang Songlan recognized the woman as Princess Tangxi Jianyu, the very “patient” who had disappeared.

Much later, the princess asked curiously, “How did you recognize me?”

Chang Songlan gestured with her hand. “You have the slimmest waist of all the patients I’ve treated.”

Princess Tangxi Jianyu: ...

*

The Great Yuan dynasty faced internal turmoil and foreign threats. At the late emperor’s request, Princess Tangxi Jianyu helped the young emperor ascend the throne, repelled foreign invasions, and purged corruption from the court.

Unfortunately, the young emperor was a handful. He was brave and resourceful in matters of state, but whenever the imperial harem was involved, he lost his reason and got tangled in one romantic mess after another.

Around this time, Tangxi Jianyu discovered that enemy spies had infiltrated the harem and were connected to officials in the Great Yuan court. To uncover the truth, she infiltrated the palace alone, but accidentally exposed herself and was hunted down. Gravely injured, she was rescued by a young palace physician.

The young physician was skilled, good-looking, and fond of watching other people’s romantic entanglements for entertainment. She was also immensely enthusiastic about treating the sick and saving lives.

She treated noble families, court officials, ordinary people, prostitutes and beggars. She even insisted on treating wicked people before letting anyone punish them.

The wicked: ...

How vicious of her!

As a result, people around the world had two very different opinions of her.

The good called her a “miracle doctor,” while the wicked called her “the King of Hell.”

The young physician asked Tangxi Jianyu, “Which title do you think suits me better?”

Tangxi Jianyu leaned closer and looked at the young physician’s flushed cheeks. “I prefer to call you... my prince consort.”

*

Little scene:

An assassination attempt ended perfectly, with no one injured.

Tangxi Jianyu suddenly took a guard’s sword and slashed her own arm. Blood immediately streamed from the wound.

Her personal guards: stunned.

Tangxi Jianyu flew into Chang Songlan’s residence, looking pitiful as she asked Chang Songlan to treat her. Watching the young physician look both excited and worried, she could barely conceal her smugness.

Her personal guards: Brilliant move!
