I Drew My Ex-Girlfriend in a Gacha

A seemingly cold and sharp-tongued but actually open-minded top who bends without realizing it x a seemingly gentle and polite but actually scheming, hopelessly lovestruck, crazy-and-clingy bottom. Interstellar colonel Jiang Xun had just died alongside the insect queen when she was reborn in a full-dive game, becoming an NPC who had been poisoned with a deadly toxin and was about to die all over again. The game’s setting was interstellar, something she knew very well. Thinking she might still be able to get in touch with her friends and family, Jiang Xun figured she could probably manage to stay alive. The only problem was that she was 30,000 in debt, and she would have to keep earning money if she wanted to cure the poison. So she turned to underground fighting for cash, using the original owner’s card-drawing ability in hopes of landing a perfect draw and winning the arena match. The good news: She got a perfect draw, and it was the highest-ranked SSR card. Even better news: The person she drew was her childhood friend and fake girlfriend. Jiang Xun knew her ability inside and out, and her childhood friend was loaded, so maybe she could help Jiang Xun escape her penniless predicament. The bad news: She had forgotten that this was a game, and her fake girlfriend might not be able to help her with anything. The good news: This world was real, and it was her original world. The players had logged in from another world. The bad news: She had already been dead for six years. The whole fake-girlfriend thing was ancient history. Her childhood friend was married and living a happy life, and she was extremely secretive about Jiang Xun’s existence. She had even killed countless impostors who had disguised themselves as Jiang Xun and nearly threatened her marriage. Ah... She drew her ex-girlfriend? Neither good nor bad news: The person drawn wasn’t her childhood friend herself, just a version of her from the past, and she would always be able to keep her company. Hard-to-classify news: From then on, every time she drew a card, she could only draw her childhood friend, at different points in time: as a little girl, as a teenager, and even as she was when she first learned Jiang Xun had died. Hard-to-classify news: She still ended up meeting her childhood friend in person. The bad news: Her childhood friend had gone crazy. She had married Jiang Xun’s memorial tablet. P.S. Contains elements of the fourth disaster, with Blue Star players entering an interstellar world. Another P.S.: Teenage Nan Qiu and adult Nan Qiu have very different personalities. Also, please check out my upcoming main-character-is-the-top novel, Bound to a Real-World Forum, I Became Famous by Shipping Couples. Synopsis: Shang Que transmigrated. As a dragon, she had noble blood, exceptional talent, and a loving family. She figured she had the beloved heroine’s cultivation fantasy plot, and that her future path to immortality would be a piece of cake. A piece of cake, right? Then, overnight, her home was destroyed and her entire clan wiped out. Only after bonding with her clan’s divine artifact did she learn that she had transmigrated into a comic that was still being serialized. According to the author’s setup, she was a minor villain who had mistaken her enemy for her father, and her clan’s destruction was nothing more than an insignificant side arc in the protagonist’s growth. She couldn’t accept it. She couldn’t accept being a villain, and she absolutely couldn’t accept her family dying for such a ridiculous reason. She was going to change her fate. She even planned to use the real-world comic forum she could see at all times, harnessing the readers’ opinions to force the author to change her character settings. She wanted to bring her entire clan back to life. She just never expected to go viral on the forum because people started shipping her with someone... Are these readers even serious? Readers: “But Shang Que’s ship is so good!” “Enemies who love to hate each other... Hehe... Enemies who love to hate each other.” This was not what Shang Que had expected. She had gone undercover in the protagonist’s sect, trying to get close to the protagonist, only to have the protagonist’s senior sister, the foremost righteous cultivator, as bright and immaculate as the moon, press a sword against her throat. “What is she to you, your lover or your daughter? Why are you so protective? You won’t let anyone near her?” Shang Que ignored the sword at her throat and looked provokingly at her. The senior sister’s long lashes fluttered. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “A crafty person like you mustn’t go near her.” Forum: “You idiot, just say what you mean!! She means: Don’t go near her! Come near me!” Forum: “She’s jealous, she’s jealous, she’s jealous!” Shang Que: ...Fine, just keep forcing the ship. She just never expected that in the end, the forum’s shipping experts would turn out to be right... Couple: [Sickly but always pushing herself, a crazy, dark-hearted, flirtatious beauty top x a cool, aloof bottom who seems bright and righteous but is full of dark thoughts and devoted to the righteous path] P.S. The main character’s pairing is with the senior sister. For now, the story seems to lean toward the top’s perspective. It’s unclear whether it will involve switching roles. Theme: Treat people with sincerity, and don’t be overly suspicious.
