[World One: Gentle, healing top x dark, unhinged bottom]
Jian Li was bound to a System and sent to various small worlds to save heroines who had suffered terrible fates.
Upon entering the first world, the first thing Jian Li saw was a boy cornered by a group of people.
She was slender and much smaller than those around her, but her gaze was sharp and cold, like an untamed eagle's.
The System told her this was the heroine she had to save.
Looking at the pitiful heroine, Jian Li assured the System that she would definitely succeed in saving her!
Pei Xun had lived in her sister's shadow since the day she was born.
Words like beautiful, clever, and kind had never applied to her. Annoying, disgusting, and jinx were the words that did.
They were both bullied at school, but their parents showed up for her sister at parent-teacher meetings and never cared whether Pei Xun lived or died.
Her sister was ostracized and transferred to a better high school, while Pei Xun could only remain in this swamp.
They were like pearls and worthless fish eyes, complete opposites.
Pei Xun thought she would spend her whole life alone.
But there was still one person in this world who had come for her.
Someone who held an umbrella over her and washed the mud away.
Someone who told her she was a pearl, not a worthless fish eye.
Pei Xun was filled with joy.
Until one day, she took her college acceptance letter to surprise the woman.
And unexpectedly overheard a secret.
Separated by a single door, she heard a familiar, gentle voice lose its composure for the first time: “You mean we've got the wrong person? She's not the heroine, but a villain who's been jealous of her sister since childhood and wants to kill her and take her place!?”
Pei Xun leaned against the wall, as if she were back in that evening when she was bullied.
She had lost everything again.
So this warmth had never belonged to her after all.
But it didn't matter. If it didn't belong to her, she would still keep it locked by her side.
