Break the Instance! Let My Boyfriend Go!

The Vanished Movie Star's Ex-Wife Is Actually a Master of the Occult is currently updating. Add it to your collection!

[Blurb] Shi Yuan is a strange person.

She lives alone on the 91st floor of a luxury apartment building. She has no friends, no pets, and hates socializing. Her skin is so pale it's almost translucent, and she's thin and frail-looking, the quintessential socially anxious shut-in.

And yet she has a perfect boyfriend!

He's 190 centimeters tall, handsome, gentle, thoughtful, and has a dazzling smile and an eight-pack! He can be the perfect host and manage the household, cook for Shi Yuan, and even lull her to sleep at night! Most importantly, supposedly he's rich, handsome, and holds a secure government job!

Can you believe how unfair that is?

But then one day, her boyfriend suddenly goes missing!

Following the clues, Shi Yuan finds his workplace: the Fourth-Dimension Administration Bureau of the National Security Agency!

Wait, is this the iron rice bowl her boyfriend described as high-paying, low-effort, stable office work where he could slack off, with only the occasional business trip?

The Fourth-Dimension Game suddenly descended upon Blue Star. Like a massive live-action survival game existing outside the space-time of reality, it has drawn the close attention of every nation.

No one knows where it came from or what its purpose is, but the lavish rewards for clearing it, the higher-dimensional technology, and the advanced materials are all incredibly enticing.

Nations have set up special Fourth-Dimension departments to take part in each game and claim the rewards!

But during one instance, the combat plan of Dongyuan was leaked, and team leader Qin Fengmian was killed.

Then the mysterious girlfriend the team leader had only ever mentioned appeared.

Seeing Shi Yuan's frail, slender frame, everyone felt their hearts sink. They carefully broke the news to her and urged her to take care of herself.

But she simply looked at them with a cool, expressionless face and said calmly:

"Oh, was it in the game? Then just bring him back."

The Fourth-Dimension Game is rife with danger and deadly traps. Many people have died there, never to wake again.

Everyone tells Shi Yuan to value her life and stay away from the Fourth Dimension. Even the battle-hardened combat team nearly got wiped out, so what could a frail woman who can't even lift a sword do?

And then they see her...

Expressionlessly dragging an ax as she effortlessly dismembers a giant twice her height...

Scaring an evil spirit that can bewitch people's hearts out of its wits with just a few words...

Pointing casually to identify the mastermind with one hundred percent accuracy...

Other nations: WTF, Dongyuan! That's not playing fair! How are we supposed to compete with you now?!

The entire leadership of Dongyuan is stunned. Team Qin, your wife is a weapon of mass destruction! How can you keep her all to yourself?

Qin Fengmian: Get lost! I'm still alive! Nobody's taking my wife!

Reading Guide:

1. The author is a huge coward who loves scary stories despite being terrible at them. This is my first attempt at an infinite-flow story, so it should only be mildly scary. It won't be too frightening.

2. The plot comes first, but there's romance too. The heroine handles all the killing, while the hero is there to look pretty! The heroine is powerful but flawed, with room to grow. She's not perfect.

3. The story features infinite-flow instances, interspersed with events in the real world. Those chapters will be noted in the titles.

4. The instances are not based on anything real. This is a completely made-up fantasy, so just enjoy the story and don't read too much into it.

5. A screenshot of the pre-publication blurb has been posted on Weibo.

The Vanished Movie Star's Ex-Wife Is Actually a Master of the Occult

Ten years later, Xu Qiaoxi returns to find that the world has been turned upside down.

Skyscrapers fill the skyline, glass curtain walls gleam, traffic streams through the streets, and QR codes are everywhere... along with ghosts mingling in the crowds and making faces to scare people...

While investigating a vengeful spirit, she enters an abandoned factory and accidentally stumbles onto the set of the variety show The Mysterious Dead End. A red-clad ghost is weeping blood as it orders lesser ghosts to chase after the terrified guests, who are shrieking in panic.

She subdues the red ghost in one move and is about to slip away when someone grabs her wrist.

It's her ex-husband, the man she abandoned without a word ten years ago!

Over the past ten years, Ning Yuheng has gone from an unknown extra with nothing to his name to a double-award-winning movie star and a TV king with a billion-yuan box office and millions of fans. More and more people love him...

But nobody knows that he was already married before he became famous, and that his wife abandoned him during their honeymoon! He blames himself, feels angry and resentful, and is afraid, but more than anything, he misses her...

Until one day, she suddenly appears and steps in front of him, knocking back an NPC that was trying to scare him with a single move.

Her features are still as lovely as ever, without a trace of age. He grips her wrist tightly.

This time, he won't let her get away!

Later, Ning Yuheng traps her between his arms and screams in a frenzy, his eyes bloodshot, his face haggard with fear of losing her.

"Where have you been all these ten years?"

Had she fallen for someone else? Had she grown tired of him? Had someone forced her... He needed to know the truth, even if it killed him!

Xu Qiaoxi stammers, then tentatively tips up her chin. "What if I said the Heavenly Dao chose me as its disciple, and I've been cultivating outside this world... Would you believe me?"

Ning Yuheng: ...

Great. She wasn't in trouble or cheating on him. She'd gone straight into monastic life!

1. The plot and cases unfold through the entertainment industry, but it isn't very scary, because the author is a coward too!

2. This is an alternate world, not reality. Don't read too much into the entertainment industry, and definitely don't take the occult stuff seriously!

3. The occult knowledge is mostly from the internet and isn't professional. Don't nitpick; trust in science!

4. At heart, this is a sweet romance about catching ghosts. It has both plot and romance!

Pre-publication 2: The Livestream Taught Me to Be a Detective

Ruan Tian writes sweet romances, but insists on switching to mysteries. Her comment section erupts in chaos, and then she accidentally... transmigrates!

The bad news: Not only has she transmigrated, she's been forcibly bound to a livestream, with hundreds of thousands of fans watching her every move!

The worse news: At the very start, she lands at a murder scene and is arrested and thrown in jail by the Six Fan Gate as a suspect!

The livestream chat is frantic: Sweetie, hurry and find the killer so you can clear your name!!!

Ruan Tian whines: But I don't know how to investigate!

The chat: We knew it! Your mystery writing is so bad!

So the fans roll up their sleeves and show off their expertise. They take out their eight-times magnifying glasses to investigate every clue and analyze every detail...

[Senior forensic science student here. I asked my professor about the body: it was definitely dismembered while alive. The killer's cruelty is horrifying!]

[My cousin's husband's cousin works at the police station. I got him to check the footprints. They're uneven, so they definitely can't belong to the same person's two feet!]

[The eldest cousin is definitely the killer. I saw him smirk just now. I've replayed it eight hundred times at 0.1 speed, and I'm one hundred percent sure!]

[...]

Gradually, Ruan Tian not only clears her name but also becomes an unofficial consultant for the Six Fan Gate, eventually earning a reputation as the greatest detective in the land!

The people praise her, and her superiors and colleagues place their hopes in her. But who knows how guilty she feels? Every day, these deranged fans force her to study tips for writing mysteries!

[Sweetie, look at that killer today. He's so good at pretending to be innocent. Your writing can't be like that, with a ruthless killer who practically lets the village's second uncle identify him as the murderer!]

[This crime scene is terrifying. Tian Tian's stories are much better: they aren't scary at all, and even make you want to try a little role-play!]

[Oh my god, Tian Tian, run! The real killer is right behind you!!! This is so scary, somebody save my sweetie!]

[Sweetie, I suggest you cling to the leg of the tallest, handsomest guy there. Like a heroine, spin 360 degrees into his arms and beg him to save you!]

[...]

At first, life in another world leaves Ruan Tian confused, anxious, and overwhelmed. Fortunately, the lovable, lively fans in her livestream keep encouraging and supporting her.

She knows they will always be her support and her strength!

Lu Sihan has just taken up his post at the Three Judicial Offices when he runs into a thorny case: an entire family has been murdered, and there are no clues at the scene. The only person arrested is a frail young woman dressed strangely, who keeps crying that she has amnesia!

He's never met a woman so odd. She bursts into tears at the drop of a hat, speaks in a soft, sweet voice, and always clings to his leg! He's also never met anyone so clever: she notices everything, never forgets what she sees, knows everything from astronomy to geography, and can see through every scheme and trick!

He watches Ruan Tian grow step by step, using the sweetest voice to expose the most evil criminals and the purest smile to protect the truth!

Theme: Keep moving forward, and you can overcome anything!
