Defying Fate, Starting Out as a Delicate White Flower [Wasteland]

Li Wan has transmigrated into a wasteland game.

It's a game she's never played before, and her role is a frail, beautiful cannon-fodder spy.

Bad news: a psychic bomb has already been planted inside her skull.

Good news: she has at least a D-rank psychic ability.

According to the general plot, as long as she maintains her innocent-girl persona and gets stronger as quickly as possible, she'll have a chance to regain her freedom.

Li Wan: Then I'll keep my head down for now.

The wasteland world is bizarre. The more you learn, the easier it is to feel afraid.

Steel jungles rife with undercurrents, metal temples reaching into the clouds, and an eerie deep sea shrouded in mist.

The age of humanity has long since become history. Technology clashes with the gods, and faith battles despair.

Li Wan originally planned to earn people's trust and work hard to grow stronger. Aside from staying alive, she wanted nothing else.

But in this bewildering apocalypse, people seem to be pushed along by fate, and even choosing death has become a luxury.

After thinking it over, Li Wan flipped the table.

Why keep my head down? She's going to defy fate!

Reader's Guide:

1. The wasteland setting has plenty of original worldbuilding. The early chapters are slow-paced and lay the groundwork for later revelations. The latter part has elements similar to [Infinite Flow], but it's [not traditional Infinite Flow].

2. The female lead really is seriously acting like an innocent, delicate girl at first. She's cold and self-interested, though the story doesn't make a point of emphasizing it.

3. There is a romance, one-on-one, with both leads having no previous relationships.

4. Update schedule: daily or every other day. If the book makes the rankings, bonus chapters will drop!

5. Note: [Chapter titles don't stand entirely on their own], so it's recommended to read the chapters consecutively (^_^ )

Bonus scene:

Ever since S-rank lightning ability user Ming Yu noticed Li Wan, his impression of her kept changing.

Ming Yu: "She's a gentle, obedient girl. She's just a little timid."

Li Wan: She chops down an entire row of mutated man-eating flowers without changing her expression, and he happens to see.

Ming Yu: "I had my doubts about Li Wan's identity before, but now I believe her. She would never betray the organization."

Li Wan, who got herself locked up in a resistance prison, raises her eyes: "I was never part of the resistance. How could I betray them?"

Ming Yu: "..."

After countless battles fought side by side, narrow escapes from death, and risking their lives for each other, Ming Yu thought he understood Li Wan very well.

He never expected that one day she would tear off the mask on her face, revealing an indifferent expression he'd never seen before: "What do you like about me? It was all an act."

The gentle, meek girl who seemed like a delicate flower had long since fallen apart. Behind the mask was a powerful woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

Ming Yu stood stunned for a moment, then blurted out something he never dreamed he'd say:

"No matter what, I'm taking you with me."

Only then did Ming Yu, who was never impulsive, realize that protecting her with all his strength had become an instinct buried deep in his bones.
