After transmigrating into an erotic novel, Shen Guzhi becomes Gu Zhi, the heroine of a tragic romance. Gu Zhi is born with an alluring beauty, but cannot cultivate. She is merely a delicate plaything for the male leads to fight over.
"Welcome to the System for Turning Erotic Torture Fiction into Pure Romance. The male leads' affection is the source of your power.
Once they love you, they'll cherish you, respect you, and devote everything to you. So go win them over, girl, and you'll reach the summit of the world."

The aloof master seems to care for the original heroine, but secretly harbors selfish desires.
Her first love, the Demon Lord, has someone else in his heart, yet uses the original heroine as a bed-warmer and stand-in.
The Fox Clan's young master makes a passionate promise, then gives the original heroine away to someone else for the sake of power.
Her gentle and refined senior brother seems like the one for her, but when he drops the mask, all he has done is use her...
Shen Guzhi: So you're saying I have to win over several tragic-romance male leads who are either perverts with bizarre kinks or have extreme personalities? And in the end, they'll still possess me, abduct me, or lock me away, all in the name of "love"?
Then I'll just pretend to win them over while working hard to cultivate and make my escape.
"Life is precious, love is more so. But for the sake of freedom, I'll abandon them both."
Reader's guide:
1. Lots of author-invented settings. My own take on cultivation.
2. At its heart, this is a story about the heroine escaping a deadly game. The content is clean.
3. Inspired by an old story, No Meat, No Fun, by Ju Hua San Li. Hope you enjoy it.
Theme: Never give up your right to choose, no matter what
