Fang Hui had long been used to the stares of others. Even now, with an explosive collar around her neck and Xiang Jinze, murder in his eyes, at her side, she still looked completely unbothered.
When the alien-species zone opened, they left the people's whispers behind and headed straight for its depths. But the alien species revealed an entirely different side of themselves amid the energy fluctuations.
Humanoid alien: “Human, could you help me with something?”
Fang Hui agreed sweetly and followed the alien into the temple. But even in full armor, they couldn't escape the leader's notice. Thousands upon thousands of alien species surrounded them.
Just when they were trapped, the humanoid alien jumped out and said, “She's one of us!”
Fang Hui didn't understand, but respected the claim. Without a moment's hesitation, she said, “That's right. I am.”
The other aliens examined her carefully from head to toe. “Oh, she's one of ours.”
Without questioning the aliens' judgment, Fang Hui readily accepted being called “one of them.” As long as she kept this secret hidden, she could go on living carefree, just as before.
That made Xiang Jinze, who was there with her, her number-one target for elimination.
The captain of the powerful Black Wolf Squad wasn't easy to kill, so Fang Hui resorted to underhanded methods. As she kept at it, rumors started circulating that Xiang Jinze was a homewrecker.
Netizens: “Some people act all proper and restrained in public, but behind closed doors, they're actually...”
Xiang Jinze: “Can you become a third party without being loved?”
Fang Hui: “This works too well. I'll use it again next time!”
Vengeful, unhinged heroine x restrained, proper, steady hero
Potential content warnings:
1. The story has its own sentinels-and-guides setting.
2. The heroine is a guide, and her spirit animal is a metal-type spider.
3. Half plot, half romance.
4. The hero isn't a third party. One-on-one romance, straight pairing, happy ending.
5. I'll add more if I think of anything.
