Ke Yin is a transmigration veteran. She has transmigrated into more than ten novels, most recently a political intrigue story.
So when she learned that in this interstellar novel she had transmigrated into the villainess, who would lose the struggle for power in the imperial court, she thought, [This is in the bag.]
When she heard from the System that the original host had multiple personalities, she thought, [No big deal]...
Then several completely different voices sounded in her mind at once!
Infinite-realm Ke Yin: Is it really no big deal?
Guide Ke Yin: Is the spirit animal glitching? Where are the sentinels...?
Corporate-drone Ke Yin from an urban novel: Hello, teachers... It’s a pleasure to meet you all. To move the agenda forward effectively, why don’t we schedule a nine o’clock meeting to discuss how to align our personality granularity...
Apocalypse Ke Yin: So noisy... Can I kill all these versions of myself who keep talking?
Apocalypse Ke Yin: [Getting hands-on] [Gunshots] [Explosion]
Ke Yin herself: Choking back tears.
Just then, the System, which had left Ke Yin hanging for three days, finally showed up.
[Welcome, Host, to this book. Your goal is to become the empress of the Galactic Empire, maintain its long-term peace and stability, and, if convenient, deal with the troublesome male lead...]
[Wait, Host, why are there so many people crammed into your head?!]
All the Ke Yins smiled together and answered in unison:
Maybe it’s because the original host has multiple personalities. What do you think?
--
As time went on, Ke Yin discovered that there was indeed something strange about this interstellar world, strange enough to give the original host multiple personalities:
Gospel airships playing low-fidelity hymns
The princess’s collection chamber, crammed with excerpts from her exes
A pale secondary capital shrouded beneath an iron dome
And the fleshly Star Gate hanging high in the sky, gazing evilly at all living things yet bringing prosperity to the entire empire
Confronted with the bizarre interstellar world, Ke Yin calmly pieced the many personalities in her head back together, each with eighteen different skills to offer.
Things were complicated, but at least she had plenty of help...
