When Qin Shuang learned she was the savior of an angsty romance world, she was up in the mountains chopping wood.
"Why should I save the world? Are you paying me to show up, or are you just barking orders?"
She was an utterly ordinary farm girl from the countryside. As she spoke, she snapped a tree trunk as thick as a bowl in half with her bare hands. She was just a little stronger than most people.
[But, Host, your immense strength comes from this world's fortune. If you refuse the mission, your ability will be taken back immediately, and we will find another Host.]
Qin Shuang: ...
Well, fine. Saving it wouldn't hurt.
But after telling her what the mission was, the System hurriedly went offline. Qin Shuang had no idea when, where, or who she was supposed to save, or even whether this was a male- or female-oriented angsty romance. Still, she figured it would be easy.
In an angsty romance, the beautiful, powerful, tragic one was bound to be the protagonist. She just had to pick up the scraps.
And so she went around cheating, bluffing, forcing people into deals, picking up everyone she saw and dragging them away. Her results were as follows:
She extended the life of an old-fashioned white-haired kid. Young people were better off being old.
She kidnapped a mute beggar being bullied by the roadside. Let's go, let's go, the good-for-nothing protagonist's rise begins!
She ran into a rich young lady. Shh, you're the heaven-defying protagonist fate has destined for me.
A withdrawn, masked woman in black, shunned by everyone. Sis, did you forget your long-lost sister, unrelated by blood but closer than family?
And then there were the ones covered in wounds, constantly coughing up blood, silently enduring...
There was no end to the people she could pick up. She couldn't possibly pick them all up.
When the System finally logged back in, it found that Qin Shuang had not only changed the protagonists' fates, but had also picked up all kinds of supporting characters and villains along the way.
In short, she'd packed every old and new enemy together in one place.
The System shrieked: [You don't do any background checks before picking people up!?]
Qin Shuang folded her arms. "Just tell me, did I save them or not?"
