[Blurb] Everyone says Shi Mingyi and Fu Zhouli are bitter rivals in the immersive game Tower of the Gods, sworn never to share the same throne. Shi Mingyi herself believes it, too.
Until one day, a special quest changes her class to the race "Angel" and resets her level to zero. With no choice but to seek Fu Zhouli's help, she discovers that the woman known as the "Iron Tyrant" is surprisingly considerate toward her?
"You can have the quest rewards."
"Do you have enough money?"
Fu Zhouli is ruthless and tight-lipped, but keeps tossing piles of treasures her way.
Is she raising me as her disciple?
Shi Mingyi wonders.
Much later, after she and Fu Zhouli get together, she finally learns the truth: not a disciple, but a wife.

"Your Majesty, I trust you won't mind accepting a trickster as your advisor."
At their very first meeting, Shi Mingyi familiarly held out her hand to Fu Zhouli.
Fu Zhouli took her warm hand, and Shi Mingyi twirled her around on the spot.
"What was that?"
At Fu Zhouli's puzzled question, Shi Mingyi smiled. "A friendly greeting."
"Then what is this?" Fu Zhouli asked, pointing to the flower that had appeared in Shi Mingyi's palm.
"A welcome gift."
Before she knew it, Fu Zhouli was thinking that having such a clever, quirky advisor wasn't so bad after all.
It didn't take long for that advisor to become her wife in her heart.

At the time, Shi Mingyi had her arms around Fu Zhouli's neck and was kissing her. Hearing the announcement broadcast across the world, she raised her brows in surprise.
"So we're actually rivals, and you knew all along?"
Fu Zhouli rested a hand on her waist and deepened the kiss. It was a long while before she finally murmured, "Mm."
"The first person to successfully change class gets a notification from the System."
"So, are you going to kill me?" Shi Mingyi asked breathlessly.
A faint smile appeared on Fu Zhouli's calm face. "I was planning to."
"And now?"
"I've fallen in love with you. I can't bring myself to do it."
I once wanted to become a god and reign in heaven.
But heaven without you is no better than hell.
