Zong Zhuyin is an ordinary shut-in high school student.
But she has incredible patience. Even when the classic action manga The Lonely Parasite explodes in popularity across the internet, she sticks to her principles: I don't read manga that hasn't finished yet!
However, when the System drags her into the manga to play a character, she realizes she may have taken a wrong turn.
To stay alive, she has no choice but to follow the System's instructions and keep appearing on the front lines of the plot. But she has no idea who everyone mistakes her for, so she can only bounce back and forth between the two sides, dropping cryptic hints now and then as she works to cultivate a mysterious persona.
While she's busy playing her role, she doesn't notice that the people around her are looking at her more and more strangely.
A character appears in the manga who had never been foreshadowed in the first season.
No one knows his past, and his future hangs by a thread.
He is the world's most reckless gambler, and its most lost seeker of the way forward.
After disappearing for many years, he returns before everyone's eyes, having shed his cool restraint and laid bare his scarlet ambition and delusions.
People respect and fear him, but they never imagine that beneath all that madness, his heart has never changed.
Zong Zhuyin: ?
A top esper pats her on the shoulder and tells her she's been through a lot. A powerful ruler offers her an alliance with a complicated look on their face. The protagonist even cries buckets as they try to win her over and get her to join the hero's team.
Zong Zhuyin stares in confusion. Who exactly do you think I am?
I really did just get here!
[Reader Advisory]
The author is a sucker for melodramatic stories, and loves writing plots that are both cringey and satisfying. Please turn off your brain while reading.
Includes comic forum scenes.
No one discovers her secret identities throughout the story, and she has several of them.
The buildup comes before the payoff! The beginning might not seem very satisfying, but it gets great later!
Sorry, the story is very steeped in otaku culture.
Theme: Victory always belongs to those who persevere.
Are you going to enter the palace too? 😭
Can my family wish me a successful interview today? 🥺
Damn it, don't stop writing new books, fill in the old holes as well (screaming, trying to get into the author's draft box)
I'm convinced 🌈 I'm so tired from working part-time. The store manager arranged for me to go to work at six o'clock. I have to catch the earliest bus.
I don't want to start school. I don't want to go to school anymore. I want to go home to find my mother, mom, mom, mom. I want to go home. I miss you.
Boss, when will you come back and update——
Yo, alive (light up cigarette)
Boss, if you don't update, I will take the college entrance examination——
Let me ask, will it be updated? 🥺 🥺
Damn, why did Gan Ye become a boy? How good is it for a woman to dress up as a man?
