Excuse Me, I'm the Protagonist

Zhao Xuan is sickly and socially anxious. By an unfortunate accident, she transmigrates into a post-apocalyptic novel aimed at male readers.

The System encourages her: "When you grow up, you'll become the holy maiden of an ancient martial arts clan and the male lead's beloved heroine, his one true love. All you have to do is offer your clan's resources to him, then die taking a blade for him. Lie low until the finale, when he becomes a god, saves the apocalypse, and brings you back to life. Easy tasks, high performance, little work and lots of pay. Don't be afraid!"

Zhao Xuan cradles her face in distress. "That sounds exhausting. I'll give it a try first."

.

Almost no one pays Zhao Xuan any attention.

To the clan's leaders, she's merely a puppet for keeping the various factions in check.

Whenever the protagonists encounter this beautiful, delicate holy maiden, they disdainfully go around her. After all, as heaven's favored children, they hate useless people like her who look as if they can't live without protection.

Only the male lead gently pats her head and tells her not to listen to his friends comparing her with his other beauties. She was born noble, and even if she does nothing, she's still the moon that makes him bow his head in submission.

But later...

Zhao Xuan destroys every opportunity that should have belonged to the male lead, and pins the once-arrogant prodigies to the cliffs until they die.

The healing medicine she gently hands out is actually a parasite that steals vitality. The path she accidentally leads them down takes everyone into a dead end.

The clan's leaders disappear en masse overnight, leaving no bodies behind.

By the time everyone realizes something is wrong, it's too late.

.

A divine prophecy foretells that an apocalyptic calamity from a strange world beyond the borders will descend upon the continent, bringing the annihilation of order and endless catastrophe.

They say it is dark and reclusive, beyond description.

People finally learn the identity of that calamity on the day heaven and earth are overturned.

In a pool of blood, the System weeps bitterly. It had put the script of a beloved heroine into Zhao Xuan's head!

The introverted holy maiden raises her eyes, her mocking gaze meeting that of the god beyond the rift in the sky, who calls himself the Main System.

"Now it's the script of the one and only protagonist's god-slaying story."

1. My take on an apocalyptic supernatural-ability story, with plenty of original worldbuilding.

2. The cover was commissioned for Zhao Xuan. She's dressed as an ancient martial arts holy maiden, and her red hair is incredibly cool and beautiful!
