[Older, restrained, gentle lead x frail, innocent-looking but secretly calculating flirt, 1v1, both leads' first time, happy ending. In every world, the older lead takes charge and raises the other; the lead remembers previous worlds]
Every book has a paranoid villainous Boss. They always have tragic pasts that turn them into villains, and eventually they fall at the hands of the protagonists.
Shen Ci's mission is to save these villains, keep them from turning evil, and give them bright, wonderful lives.
It's just that Shen Ci does far too good a job, exceeding the System's expectations by a long way. In every world, she becomes the one and only person the sickly villainess holds dear.
Those villainesses, who should have been cold and desireless, capable of destroying the world, have all fallen in love with her.
[World One]
Because she was born frail and blind, Ning Jiqing is the least favored princess in the imperial palace. Framed and thrown into prison, she eventually turns completely evil. As the imprisoned Ning Jiqing thinks the world is about to end, her former tutor appears at the door in robes as white as snow. Ignoring the grime on her, the tutor bends down and lifts her into her arms. "I'm sorry, A-Ji. Your teacher came too late."
Shen Ci teaches Ning Jiqing how to govern and manage the state, and how to conduct herself in the world. She even finds countless medicinal herbs to help improve her health. After placing Ning Jiqing on the throne as empress and finally curing her many ailments, Shen Ci plans to leave for the next world the following day.
But the empress, who has only just seen the light, doesn't listen when Shen Ci tells her to take care of her eyes in private. Instead, she stumbles straight into Shen Ci's arms.
"Is Teacher leaving A-Ji behind?" The empress, usually so aloof and self-possessed, clutches Shen Ci's clothes and cries in distress.
[World Two]
Ning Jiqing grew up in an orphanage. Because she was born with hearing loss, no one was willing to adopt or sponsor her, and the run-down orphanage couldn't teach her sign language. Her only interest growing up was using art supplies donated by kind strangers to depict this splendid world. With her extraordinary talent, she could have become a top painter, but after being falsely accused of plagiarism, she couldn't defend herself and was ruined. She eventually turned completely evil.
Just before Ning Jiqing shows her immature work to the world for the first time, the stern and distant President Shen kindly adopts her. She personally teaches her everything, from everyday life and sign language to artistic techniques and social skills. At last, she raises the timid, insecure Ning Jiqing into a dazzling, free-spirited top painter. Shen Ci prepares to leave for the next world.
But Ning Jiqing, who spends every day lost in her studio, grabs her wrist and signs frantically: "If there's anything I did wrong, just teach me, Sister. I'll change."
[World Three]
Ning Jiqing is an omega born with damaged glands, unable to be marked. On top of that, she is royalty, so she can only be used as a tool for a political marriage, and the lowest-ranking one at that. Forced to marry a scummy alpha, Ning Jiqing suffers inhuman torment and eventually turns completely evil.
Young Ning Jiqing believes her life is destined to be controlled by the royal family. But one day, General Shen Ci of the Federation comes to her, secretly takes her away without anyone noticing, and raises her aboard her private starship. She tells her that A and O are only designations and don't define anyone, and that she can have a life of her own. The once frail omega grows into the Empire's most dazzling rose. Shen Ci prepares to leave for the next world.
But Ning Jiqing, with her damaged glands and no history of heat, suddenly goes into heat. Her eyes flushed, she wraps her arms around Shen Ci's neck as the scent of roses grows more intense. "Please, mark me."
[Worlds Four, Five, Six...]
They used to be miserable and sickly, with no heart for love. But now they have been raised to be dazzling, healthy, and free-spirited, no longer subject to anyone else's torment.
And they can no longer bear to be without her.
