She thought she'd scored a free spot in a restricted romance game, but as a horny woman, Shen Xi was tricked into joining and killed!

System: Conquer the male leads and clear the game!

Mission: Keep your secret identity hidden! Don't die! Return to Earth!

*

As a lucky, hardworking gamer, Shen Xi had never feared the game's dungeons or tedious conquest missions. But soon she realized she wasn't playing some restricted game. She was fighting for her life!

The pure-hearted male lead, who was supposed to be a chaste bridegroom, turned into a serial killer. At midnight, an evil god appeared and indiscriminately preyed on players, pinning them to the bed to savor their desires. The sacrificial priest, the second male lead, was supposed to reunite with his destined love and marry her, but he fell into darkness and offered players as ghost brides. The charming, nonhuman third male lead raised a knife and slowly approached, the cold blade gliding across the player's sweet lips. “Is it really so hard to fall in love with me?”

Shen Xi decided she'd had enough. There were too many men, and they were all too deranged to handle, so she dropped everything and faked her death to escape.

*

Ever since Shen Xi gave up on conquering the male leads, she had the same dream every night. Countless cold arms appeared behind her, pinning her down and roughly shoving her into a corner.

A chilling dampness crept up her body, reaching deep into her fragile soul. Long, cold hands slowly tightened, bit by bit, closing around her slender, pale neck.

Those men roamed the dark corners of lightless nights, their eyes flashing crimson. Their smiles were sinister and haggard, and their eerie voices drifted closer and farther away, at once innocent and cruel. They laughed: “Shen Xi, where are you going?”

Lin Yunshen, a romance-game designer, died suddenly and transmigrated into the sentinel-guide romance game her company had made.

But the fundamentals of this sentinel-guide world weren't quite as she'd designed them.

First, guides were everywhere, while sentinels were incredibly rare.

Second, her spirit form wasn't some fluffy animal. It was a divine omen from Eastern mysticism.

Heavenly Nobleman, granting an easy path forward; Virtue of Heaven, turning danger into fortune; Virtue of the Moon, bringing peace and good luck; General Star in one's birth chart, obey my command...

Lin Yunshen thought it sounded great. With her divine-omen spirit forms, she didn't need a guide or a Tower.

But soon, she realized something was wrong.

The sky screen revealed the identity data of Lin Yunshen, an EX-rank sentinel.

Then a group of men claiming to be perfect guides surrounded her home.

Sentinel Lin Yunshen, your compatibility with the S-rank guide Qi Xingzhao is 100%.

Sentinel Lin Yunshen, your compatibility with the S-rank guide Jiang Linchen is 100%.

Sentinel Lin Yunshen, your compatibility with the S-rank guide Su Linyuan is 100%.

Seeing the data before her, Lin Yunshen's heart sank! So this was the power of the Peach Blossom, Red Beauty, Heavenly Joy, and Red Matchmaker omens? Lin Yunshen rejected them outright.

Later, Lin Yunshen discovered that they weren't ordinary guides at all. They had been born for one purpose: to destroy her.

*

Guides were a vital force in ensuring humanity's survival. They were supposed to be pure and untainted, devoting their glorious lives to guiding sentinels in the Tower. But Lin Yunshen's arrival shattered that fate. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, where sentinels were desperately scarce. They didn't want to lose her. They wanted to possess her.

So from the moment they heard her name, they were drawn to her powerful, inviolable mental world.

They gave in to their selfish desires. They yearned for a mental bond. They wanted to drag her from her pedestal and win her love and favor. And if they couldn't, they would sacrifice their souls to forge a golden cage meant for her alone.
