The Dungeon Bosses Fight Over Me in a Crazy Shura Showdown

The Peach Blossom Ancient Town is a forbidden instance, as players all agree.

A young physician with a gentle smile and elegant manners, a gloomy young swordsman wielding a long blade, the male opera performer of the troupe, with tender eyes and a beauty's face...

In other instances, these powerful ghosts would undoubtedly be final-boss-level threats, but here they are everywhere.

Not a single player who has ever entered has survived. The death rate is 100%.

The instance opens once again. The moment the players read the details, they break down, wailing in despair.

Only one girl, Xia Nuoxi, is so beautiful she seems unreal, delicate and pitiful, her face full of innocence and confusion. "...Is it really that scary here?"

The other players are stunned. "This is an SSS-rank instance, the highest difficulty! Why is there a newbie here?!"

They suddenly feel that their own plight isn't so bad. At least veteran players can use their experience and items to hold out for a while. A newcomer will probably be devoured by the ghosts in minutes.

Especially one as pretty and fragile as her!

And yet...

The physician, who should have silently poisoned every player and cut out their hearts, reverently offers her his own heart, just to win her smile.

The swordsman, who should have been obsessed with players' bloodied, severed limbs, destroys the peerless sword that has been with him since childhood, so it won't possibly hurt her delicate, snow-white skin.

The male opera performer, who should have skinned the players one by one and turned them into puppets, shatters his own soul and body, sewing them into a soft cloth doll for her to play with.

Even the livestream viewers, who love watching cruel and bloody scenes, start shipping Xia Nuoxi with the bosses.

[Xiaxia and the physician are perfect together! The physician's gaze is so tender when he looks at her, it could drown me!]

[This age-gap pairing is so satisfying! Xiaxia is the swordsman's only light! They're the real deal, and I won't hear otherwise!]

[Xiaxia and the opera performer are the best match! Two magnificent faces, such a pleasure to behold!]

[? Am I the only one shipping Xiaxia with every boss?]

There may be more than three bosses, and there may be other instances, too.

My favorite black-bellied heroine in disguise is back, with a mermaid saintess setup. The more fragile she looks, the stronger she is.

A melodramatic, reverse-harem battle royale, and the heroine has no heart.
