Fourth Calamity, But a Heartthrob

When I have time, I’ll rewrite this story. The elements of a universally adored protagonist and fourth-wall-breaking players will remain, as will the original characters, but I’ll probably change the worldbuilding and add other elements. If you’re interested because of the blurb, please don’t buy it. If you’ve already bought it, don’t worry. Think of it as paying once to read two stories. Thanks!

[This is the Immortal Heroes World game assistant. What is your player name?]

[Chu He]

[Which sect would you like to join?]

[Nine Tribulations Sword Sect]

Level up, tend the fields, and occasionally give flowers to the young ladies. Come up with every possible way to raise their affection scores.

Give loving encouragement to the fiancée whose memories were erased, making her mistake her enemy for her mother. Help the senior sister, tormented by her inner demon, break free from the shackles of her obsession. Heal the saintess whose body was taken over, helping her reclaim herself…

Chu He thinks she’s helped plenty of people, but for some reason, they all want to beat her to death.

Chu He: This is no fun. Time to switch accounts!

Xie Linglong hides her identity and joins the Nine Tribulations Sword Sect to take revenge, never expecting that her birth parents had arranged a childhood betrothal for her. Her betrothed isn’t just an ordinary woman with no cultivation talent: she’s also an idiot.

She acts strangely, spouts obscenities at Xie Linglong from time to time, and is equally offensive to everyone else. The dignified and upright senior sister is beset by inner demons because Chu He won’t leave her alone, while the serene and noble saintess is possessed by Chu He and made to do all sorts of embarrassing things…

Xie Linglong can’t stand her, but can’t act on it because of her identity.

Then she learns the truth: she is the real Xie Linglong. She mistook her enemy for her mother and stained her hands with the blood of her fellow disciples. With all hope gone, Xie Linglong doesn’t want to live anymore.

But Chu He ignores everyone’s condemnation and tells her tenderly, “You still have me.”

In reality: The pet is feeling emo. Better comfort her quickly, or it’ll affect the farming.

Xie Linglong: She really loves me that much?

There is someone in this world who loves her just the same, no matter where she comes from or what her identity is. Xie Linglong thinks that person must be Chu He.

She wants to spend her life with her, but Chu He takes Zhuang Sicheng and the others by the hand and says, “Perfect timing. Now you can all get along.”

Xie Linglong feels as if her heartfelt love has been fed to a dog, and wants to kick Chu He away.

Later, when she hears that Chu He has died, she isn’t worried, knowing Chu He is immortal.

A year passes, then two, and Xie Linglong still hasn’t heard from Chu He. She panics.

Meanwhile, Chu He is thinking: New account! Starting from zero. I refuse to believe I can’t grind up these people’s affection scores!

But she hasn’t done anything yet. Why are all the NPCs’ affection scores already maxed out?

Xie Linglong clings to her, eyes lowered, and grits her teeth. “If you’re going to die, take me with you!”

Xie Linglong once thought about giving up, but realized that in the end, she couldn’t bear to.
