(Transmigrate into a Book, Harem, Post-Apocalyptic Survival, Restricted Fiction)
After transmigrating into a restricted post-apocalyptic novel as the male lead's childhood friend, Mu Xu's worldview collapses again and again. How can they do this?
Unable to accept it and refusing to get touchy with anyone, Mu Xu is soon infected and turns into a contaminant, then gets abandoned by the survival team. Her worldview collapses once more, only to be rebuilt: accept her fate, abandon her principles, and become powerful.
Thus Mu Xu becomes a contaminant who scams and cons people. Every day, she disguises herself as an ignorant damsel in distress and clings to powerful ability users, then disappears after getting into trouble. It works every time.
Until Mu Xu tries the same trick on Su Mu, a gorgeous ability user and researcher with obsessive-compulsive cleanliness, and gets captured on the spot.
"Experimental Sample No. 36, successfully captured."
From then on, Mu Xu becomes a contaminant with an official lab position, hopping around every day under 360-degree surveillance and pretending she has no brains.
Heaven knows this is a restricted-fiction world! She doesn't want to be cured in all those strange ways! She's just a contaminant who wants to get touchy with people. What did she do wrong?
