Loading Saves to Beat a Ghost Otome Game

[A dark, twisted everyone-loves-me story, but I'm the Fourth Catastrophe]

You enter a dark romance game set in a Chinese supernatural world, where ghosts and monsters run rampant and you can do almost anything. Your identity and attributes are all determined by dice rolls.

[First playthrough] The green-robed book ghost dwelling in a classic text

As the book's beauty, this ghost is as gorgeous as a famous painting, but keeps urging you to study.

You angrily shut the book, only to be reported by a classmate for the crime of deceiving the emperor. Your Intelligence roll is a critical failure. Bad End x1.

[Second playthrough] The faceless mountain god at the summer retreat

The mountain god has no face, but his white hair is like snow and blood tears from between his brows. As blank as a sheet of paper and free of worldly desires, the mountain god hopes you'll stay forever.

When summer ends, you head home, but encounter rebels on the way. Your Strength roll is a critical failure. Bad End x2.

[Third playthrough] The shady Yin God of Wealth invited to the family home

To ensure the family's prosperity for generations, the elders of both families invited the Yin God of Wealth, who possessed your frail childhood sweetheart. The god not only stole your sweetheart's body, but also wants to marry you.

On your wedding day, you refuse to submit even if it means death. Your furious father locks you in the woodshed. Your Stamina roll is a critical failure. Bad End x3.

Fortunately, on your fourth playthrough, your luck finally turns and you get a critical success!

[Playthroughs successfully combined. Hidden identity unlocked: Princess of the Zhou King]

[Attribute check successful. New map unlocked: Ghost Academy]

But wait, why have all four playthroughs merged?!

On your first day of school, the book ghost in green still tries to trap you in a painting, while the mountain god, blood tears between his brows, holds you captive in his palace...

At last, your gentle and virtuous hostage prince consort arrives, only for you to discover he's been possessed by the Yin God of Wealth and intends to hold the wedding that was interrupted years ago.

What do you do when the ghosts you attract just won't leave you alone?

Don't panic. Watch me use the reload-and-save-scum method!

[This time, you're definitely getting a Happy End!]
