A heroine sprinting toward a breakdown every day × a hero who is the very cause of her breakdown

An ordinary person who just wants world peace and will do anything to achieve it vs. an unremarkable gravity wielder who only needs you in this world and couldn't care less about everyone else

Twenty years ago, Sky City exploded above humanity like a firework. In the midst of the violent radiation, the lucky ones claimed to have gained supernatural abilities.

Manipulating air currents, reading minds, toying with nature...

These people came to be known as the "Divergent."

Twenty years later, Liu Zhuo discovered that anyone could gain supernatural abilities after the fact by having a prosthetic developed by a certain company implanted in their body.

As an experimental host, Liu Zhuo can read other people's abilities. Whenever a Divergent appears before her, she can acquire their power.

Amnesiac Liu Zhuo had no idea what was going on. Awesome! Did she get the script where she takes over the world?

It wasn't until she escaped from the research institute that she realized things were going badly:

One of her biological parents seemed intent on destroying humanity, while the other was missing. Her abilities came with side effects, and she kept ending up with blood all over her face. A trip to the hospital nearly turned her into a corporation's private property, and some strange organization wanted to recruit her...?

Her fellow Divergents shouted, "Overthrow human oppression and liberate the Divergent," like ignorant lambs being led by their shepherd into the abyss. Self-aware artificial intelligence seized the opportunity, yearning to replace humanity. Ordinary people either became toys for the corporations or tools in their hands.

Liu Zhuo had only just figured out the situation, and she already felt that something was wrong.

The fall of Sky City hadn't wiped out humanity. The ones hurting humanity were actually us.

The bigger headache, though, was the smiling man by her side, who apparently had an old romantic debt to collect from her before she lost her memory.

Victor Yu, Chinese American, single, 186 cm tall, with two kids. His job is to work for the corporations... Well, let's not get into that. Right now, he's secretly dating his mission target behind his boss's back.

Including, but not limited to: pretending to be a contact and taking out the buyer who was planning to purchase Liu Zhuo; joining Liu Zhuo for a fun group brawl, then paying her exorbitant medical bills after they got beaten up; and his ultimate goal: taking in the sea with Liu Zhuo, talking about their ideals, and raising the kids together...

Liu Zhuo was so moved she cried, then turned down his request to elope with her again.

Anyway, her left hand hits hard, and her right hand hits even harder. She'll just have to grit her teeth and get on with it.

The world is just one big slapdash operation, right... right?

Liu Zhuo asked, "But wouldn't that be underestimating me?"

Maybe it's about saving herself, falling in love, and saving the world along the way (nope)

Please don't offer so-called wording advice, like changing "jealousy" to "envy," "others" to "other women," or "Heaven" to "Sky Mother," and so on. We have preserved evidence of people screenshotting this story, posting it elsewhere, and using it to attack and insult us. The internet is not above the law. Please respect one another.

The depictions of extremist organizations in this story draw on real life, and are mainly concentrated in the later chapters. Some lines may be upsetting, but they do not represent the author's endorsement of those ideas.

(The following are potential dealbreakers? Or selling points? Feel free to decide whether to read.)

The heroine is mixed-race with white hair, and the hero is a Chinese guy. This is not a story with a dominant heroine, and it's hard to say whether it counts as a power fantasy. Anyway, everyone gets their wish. Both leads are protagonists, not accessories, and there are two fifteen-year-old kids (boys, not the leads' biological children, who appear later).

The leads are strictly BG. Please support our black-and-white couple, thank you (seriously).

The side characters include:

One BL couple;

One human-and-nonhuman romance;

A four-way relationship involving BG and GL;

Various one-sided crushes, including GL.

That's all.
