The Top Shadow Guard Gets Hooked on Fishing (Full-Dive VR)

[Updated around midnight every night.]

Hua Jianyin was an elite covert guard kept by a prince. They said the heads she took could circle the prince's estate. During one mission, she was struck dead by a bolt of heavenly lightning.

With her dying breath, she shouted, “Good! I never wanted to do this job anyway!”

Who cared about being a feared assassin or the greatest killer under heaven? Whoever wanted the job could have it!

To her surprise, the lightning sent both her body and soul to another world. Hua Jianyin was thrilled. Given a second life, she was going to reclaim everything that belonged to her!

Fishing, playing cards, raising birds, farming, mining, and grilling. No need to work, how wonderful! This was the carefree life she had always dreamed of.

But then a strange thing calling itself “Xiao Meng” moved into her mind. It knew everything there was to know, practically a walking encyclopedia of farming, but it also had one massive, impossible-to-hide flaw:

[Congratulations, Hua Jianyin! While fishing at xx Fishing Grounds, you obtained the Heavenly-grade manual [Lone Star Divine Thunder]!]

[Congratulations, Hua Jianyin! While fishing at xx Fishing Grounds, you obtained the Earth-grade treasure [Clearheart Sand]!]

[Congratulations, Hua Jianyin! While fishing at xx Fishing Grounds, you obtained the Heavenly-grade treasure [Heavenly Capital Token]!]

Hua Jianyin: (⊙_⊙)? Do you have to shout so loudly?

Xiao Meng: Sorry, young hero, but System notifications can't be turned off.

Watching the crowds come rushing to seize the treasures, Hua Jianyin fell into deep thought once again...

Reader's Guide:

1. The heroine transmigrates from ancient times into a full-dive game. She dreams of farming and fishing, but keeps getting dragged into using her assassination skills.

2. This may be a long, old-school farming, world-building, fishing, questing, and face-slapping story.

3. The tone is fairly light, so although the heroine is from ancient times, the prose isn't particularly rigorous or full of archaic language. Just enjoy the ride!

4. The game is set in a fictional ancient world. For gameplay reasons, most familiar plants and animals have been introduced locally. Please forgive the occasional anachronism; we won't be getting too hung up on the details.

There's a neighboring upcoming story, [After Falling Out with My Brother], which you can reach directly from the announcements~

*

When Su Qingyue was twelve, his deadbeat father brought home yet another little sister for him to look after.

His influential father had brought home plenty of women, and more than a few kids in tow. But this sister was special: her name was Yun Qingyuan.

“What a name! You can tell right away she's the Empire's Star's little sister.”

Yun Qingyuan, who came from a backwater town, couldn't read the expressions hidden behind the noblewomen's fans. She took their malicious teasing at face value and followed the Empire's Star everywhere, calling him “Brother” all day long with eager, ridiculous devotion.

Su Qingyue disliked her name. It was too deliberate.

Usually gentle and courteous, he lost his temper for once. “Stay away from me.”

*

Yun Qingyuan had inherited her mother's face, and that alone made her unstoppable at the Su estate and at school. On top of that, she was a genius pilot second only to Su Qingyue.

“Qingyuan, now you and His Highness the Heir are the Empire's twin stars!”

She seemed not to hear the distinction in their words. Smiling brightly at the older students, she replied, “Really? Thank you, big brother! I'll keep working hard!”

Su Qingyue's face darkened. He disliked her face, her smile, and most of all, the way she called other people “big brother.”

*

Yun Qingyuan disappeared.

The last time Su Qingyue saw her was in his room.

Moonlight spilled across her back like a lustrous length of silk.

He never would have imagined that the next time he saw his sister would be on the battlefield between the Empire and the rebels.

The celebrated mech soldier on the Starsea Wanted List, his sister, planted one foot on the chest of the Empire's Star and smiled. “Brother, did you miss me?”

Reader's Guide:

1. The main story is told from the heroine's perspective.

2. They aren't related and don't share a household registration. Nothing inappropriate happens before they're adults.

3. One-on-one romance, but falling in love with one's little sister is only natural.
