Why Has the Whole World Kissed Me?

Only after obtaining the Protagonist System did Zhu Lan learn that she had always been living in a world where several novels had merged.

And everyone around her was a protagonist.

Her younger sister was from My Frail White Moonlight Has Returned

Her older brother was from Winning Over That Aloof Senior

Her mother was from The Number One Killer of Ghost Stories

Her father was from Infinite-World Boss Has a Save-Point Ability

Her best friend was from After the Elite Academy F4 Set Their Sights on Me

Surrounded by protagonists, she only had to let her guard down for a moment to stumble into all kinds of stories (and acci)dents, losing her background-character status.

Worse still, the System had activated Wake-Up Mode, making the people around her awaken subtle feelings for Zhu Lan from their subconscious and making it even easier for her to become a protagonist.

And so the whole world kissed her.

The siblings who were supposed to be an aloof senior and a frail white moonlight became an obsessive older brother and a lovesick younger sister. They cast forbidden glances at Zhu Lan and secretly fought over her.

The arrogant Elite Academy F4 all confessed to Zhu Lan. The sworn brothers fought each other to the death and schemed against one another, all for the chance to court her.

The male leads from all kinds of romance novels lined up to woo her, each bringing a melodramatic backstory and a bundle of outrageous tropes.

Zhu Lan's life suddenly became unbearably crowded, packed with protagonists, weirdos, melodrama, and love triangles.

How is anyone supposed to live like this?

She just wants to be a background character. Stop giving her the harem-protagonist plot!

Now serializing: I Pilot Mechs with Imagination

[Academy Competition + Space Adventure + Mech Battles]

"Ming Xing, you failed both mech theory and engineering. Why do you think you can pass the Longyi Military Academy entrance exam?"

"I'm good at Chinese, I like reading, and I have a great imagination."

"...Imagination won't put food on the table."

The evaluator wrote a big "F" beside Ming Xing's rating.

At the entrance exam, the venue was packed with elite students, and all kinds of cutting-edge mechs took the stage: heavy mechs, sleek designs, and bio-inspired mechs modeled after insects, fish, birds, and beasts...

The professors nodded. This year's students were promising. Perhaps they had a chance against the star beasts.

Then Ming Xing took the stage and began her presentation.

"I've recently been reading books about Buddhism from a thousand years ago. Inspired by them, I designed a mech..."

The audience snickered, her rival grinned, and the teachers furrowed their brows.

Suddenly, a thousand mechanical arms unfurled behind Ming Xing, blotting out the sky with overwhelming force.

"I've named it Thousand-Hand Guanyin."

-

"Impossible! No one can control that many mechanical arms at once! She must be cheating!"

"But Ming Xing really did it..."

The public erupted. The media scrambled to report on the dark-horse rookie, wildly speculating about the secret behind her incredible control.

After the exam, the prodigy she'd humiliated at the venue stopped her.

"How exactly did you do it?"

"I just imagined it." Ming Xing looked surprised.

"Don't you pilot a mech with your imagination?"

-

She imagined she was her opponent, and copied his signature move.

She imagined she was a bird, and her hoverboard soared into the clouds along an impossible trajectory.

She imagined she was the River of the Dead, and wherever her Wangchuan mech flowed became a border between life and death.

"Are you even human?" her opponent rasped after the match.

"Can you still 'imagine' a solution?" the commander asked desperately at the end of the competition.

"Always."

From Longyi Military Academy to the Interstellar League, from an F-rank candidate to the strongest new-generation mech pilot.

With an imagination both innocent and audacious, she made anything possible.

-

Tall, rich, handsome, third-generation mech pilot.

Rich, well-connected, and incredibly hardworking.

A grinding, money-spending workaholic with a fierce competitive streak, a true child of heaven.

Yet every day, he gets driven mad by a talent monster.

Male lead

I don't know either, the mech just started working.

So strong that she has an amazing attitude.

A talent monster with an imagination that knows no bounds.
