A Survival Guide for an Awakened NPC

Villainess reborn + a heroine who grows

The male lead's secret love finally comes true

The heroine can transmigrate to a point in the past to investigate cases.

-

Li Shengran, the eldest princess of the Northern Kingdom, was spoiled, domineering, and utterly lawless. Everyone thought it would be a wonderful thing to marry her off to the Southern Kingdom to bring an end to the hostilities between the two nations.

Until the political situation grew turbulent, with a storm brewing. The two kingdoms were on the brink of war once more, yet no one remembered that in the depths of the Southern Kingdom's palace, that once-arrogant eldest princess was about to be sacrificed as a warning.

Only Shen Qiye, the cavalry general whom Li Shengran had despised and targeted at every turn, remembered. On a rainy night, he broke into the Southern Kingdom's palace alone.

Bringing with him the damp scent of rain and blood, he said in a low voice, "Your Highness, don't be afraid."

-

Only after being reborn did Li Shengran learn that she was an NPC in a detective game, written to die a tragic death.

She was bound to a System, and could only change her fate by solving cases and earning investigation points.

After gaining the System, Li Shengran also acquired a golden finger. She could travel back to the past and save NPCs trapped in dire circumstances by the game's labels.

What she never expected was that the NPCs she casually helped would all become powerful figures.

-

General Shen Qiye of the Northern Kingdom returned in triumph, and Emperor Jingjia threw a grand banquet.

Li Shengran rolled her eyes at Emperor Jingjia, who had shot her dead in her previous life while sitting on the throne.

[ Ding! Unlocked the label "Tyrant". ]

Then she glanced at Shen Qiye, Emperor Jingjia's greatest supporter.

[ Ding! Unlocked the label "Blindly Loyal". ]

She swore to take revenge on the wretched emperor. As for Shen Qiye, she was willing to spare him in battle, considering that he had saved her in her previous life.

-

The dynasty was corrupt, and the people were suffering. Li Shengran solved cold cases and tore off labels, stirring up a bloody storm as she pointed her sword straight at the tyrannical emperor.

But the man who should have been bound by the System's "Blindly Loyal" label and crossed swords with her instead steadied her sword with his bloodstained hand and said, "I will help you overthrow him, Your Highness."
