The Scarlet Throne

My new story, The System of Negative Emotions, is Manipulating the Dungeon's Course, is now available next door. Take a look at my new cover~ The rights have been acquired~ ^v^ The cover features Xiaobai's character design~ Upcoming story: Mall Massacre Warning! There's very little romance and much more plot. Also... this is a secret identity story~ Also known as: The Story of How I Became a Mall Owner and Used Secret Identities to Screw People Over The Crazy System Fell in Love with Me, and I'm Crazy Too The Story of How a Person and a System Who Were Both Determined to Screw Each Other Over Got a Happy Ending Mu Qing was an illegitimate daughter. When the estate was divided, the other party gave her no money, only a shopping mall. And it was run-down and chaotic, too. Mu Qing: ... Sigh, the road ahead looks rough. Then one day, a System descended and chose her mall as its arrival point. System: "How about a deal?" Mu Qing: "Pay me two million in rent for the space, then we can talk." System: ... System: "Do you believe I'll kill you?" Oh, so it was going to kill her and take the mall? Mu Qing laughed dismissively, then said: "Go on, tell me about this deal." When everyone was pulled into a dungeon, the System told them to complete it and earn the corresponding points. They could use those points to buy a chance to unlock a shop and take an item that could save their lives. Otherwise, when the next dungeon opened, all they could do was wait to die. Panic spread among them. To survive, everyone stopped at nothing. Mu Qing joined the dungeon too, but not to stay alive. She just wanted to watch other people struggle and despair. Wasn't that fun? When yet another dungeon ended, the person with the most points was once again Number Five. The others stared covetously at the shopping-unlock voucher in Mu Qing's hand, as if they were about to rush over and snatch it at any moment. Mu Qing just waved the voucher around with a grin and chuckled. "No killing and looting, okay~ You bunch of noobs." Everyone: ... One person was so fed up that they contacted the System. "System, don't you find it irritating having this woman around?" System: ... She's a shareholder, after all. It couldn't kick her out even if it wanted to. Later, when Mu Qing had had enough and wanted to quit and enjoy a lazy retirement (?), the System refused. "You are a shareholder, and the mall belongs to the Host. This System has no authority to call upon it." Hearing that, Mu Qing deliberately struck a thoughtful pose and teased, "Ah, but I've had enough. There's nothing interesting left." "Besides this mall, is there anything else interesting that belongs to me?" After a long while, just as Mu Qing thought there would be no answer, the System suddenly took human form and appeared before her. She slowly drew closer, her snow-white hair brushing against the other's dyed pink hair. Her blood-red eyes fixed on the other woman, and her crimson lips moved close to her ear as she spoke in a long, cool voice. "Me." The top is a fragmented part of the main System. Two female leads. Both are crazy. Calmly going crazy x constantly going crazy Story blurb: Warning! This is a slow-burn story. The plot takes priority over romance, there's lots of everyday life, and the top appears late. ~~ Also known as The Vampire Princess's Coup and Even a Good-for-Nothing Can Become a Leader Blurb: Bai Xiaobai was trying to save a few bucks on her commute when she was caught in a riot on the subway and accidentally stabbed to death. She thought she was going to be reincarnated, but instead, the 'Throne' System bound itself to her and sent her to another time, where she transmigrated as a vampire princess. Unfortunately, she was a... newborn good-for-nothing. In a palace full of schemes and bloodshed, Bai Xiaobai decided to keep up her good-for-nothing act until she could enjoy a peaceful old age (?). But the System told her that if she didn't ascend the throne, she'd be erased, vanishing completely as if she had never existed. Bai Xiaobai replied: You think I'm easy to bully? If you step on me, you'll just be stepping on cotton, hehe~ System: ←_← To stay alive, Bai Xiaobai had no choice but to join the succession struggle and begin an "adventurous" life of leveling up and beating people up (?). N years later, the level-99 vampire queen sat on the steps outside the palace, sighing in the cold wind. "Back in the day, I sat at my desk, drinking coffee and slacking off. Life couldn't have been more comfortable." "I didn't know how to appreciate it back then..." "If I get another life, all I want to say is: Boss, I'll never ask you for a raise again! Waaaah..." The current vampire queen consort came out and found someone sitting on the ground crying: ... Meanwhile, in another time and place, her former boss sneezed. "Ah-choo!!" Huh? Who's thinking about me?
