Only the Love-Struck Have What It Takes [Western Fantasy]

[Complete] This is a bizarre yet utterly ordinary world, like a mirror with two sides. One side is bright and sunny, bustling with people, just like the most normal human world. On the other, a blood-red moon hangs high as mysterious legendary creatures open their eyes in the night. In the city, humans have no idea they live alongside fantastical creatures. Among the crowds are many beings that aren’t human. When you notice something strange, their eyes have already been on you for a long time. Welcome, everyone, to their world. Wu Qinghe, a nobody at her company, has a secret she keeps buried deep in her heart. She has always possessed a mature soul. To put it more bluntly, she was reincarnated in the womb. She doesn’t belong in this world. But there’s nothing much to say about that, because aside from the fact that its technology is a little more advanced than the world she came from, everything else is the same. The same nine years of compulsory education, the same nine-to-five workday. Damn it! I got my hopes up for nothing!!! [punches wall] But none of that is the point. Wu Qinghe has another secret buried in her heart. She’s always suspected the company where she works isn’t a legitimate entertainment company. Her seemingly “kind” coworkers all have strange little quirks, like: The company accountant always wears golden-yellow contact lenses, and vanishes without explanation whenever payday rolls around. Her stern, meticulous supervisor always has white fluff on his suit. Wu Qinghe strongly suspects that, behind his cold expression, he’s a total fluff fanatic. The company’s mainstay, a popular young star, loves red wine. That’s not strange on its own, but if he can pull a wineglass out of some unknown corner at any time and in any place, well, that’s pretty weird, isn’t it? Wu Qinghe has never seen the company’s janitors, either. It’s as if the whole office resets itself to factory settings at the stroke of midnight. They seem to have a particular fondness for working in the dead of night. … With coworkers like these, even the company employing child labor somehow seems… Way too illegal! Wu Qinghe becomes even more convinced of her suspicions and resolutely calls the Market Supervision Administration to report them. Later… Wu Qinghe learns the truth. She humbly accepts it, then suddenly understands everything, closes her eyes, and collapses peacefully. Kids, this isn’t funny. She’s the only normal person in the whole company. The important word here is “person.” This is even harder to accept than finding out she’d stumbled into a pyramid scheme. Ah! So is this really a legitimate company? No, wait! She should be asking whether this world is still the normal human world she thought she knew. At last… Wu Qinghe turns a suspicious gaze on her current boyfriend, who’s happily eating potato chips and hasn’t noticed a thing. Man: Me…? [crunch crunch] Wu Qinghe: [stares without blinking] Man: Ah ha ha ha, foolish human, I’m obviously the most awesome being around! [hands on hips] Wu Qinghe: Can you finish eating before you talk?!
