The Guide Forced into Darkness Has a Major Fail

Chen Erre transmigrates into a Sentinel-Guide world. The good news: She was born into this world, her younger brother, who’s her only family, is a highly sought-after elite Sentinel, and she’s awakened as a Guide. The bad news: Her ability doesn’t seem to work like other Guides’. Other Guides use resonance to untangle Sentinels’ mental knots and soothe their unstable minds. Sentinels eagerly hope for a high compatibility with a Guide so the White Tower will pair them in marriage one day. As for Chen Erre, during her first attempt at mental guidance, her mental tendrils broke through layer after layer of defenses and went straight for a fatal strike. Her Guide ability isn’t healing. It’s control. Once the situation was under control, she was assigned the lowest-level menial work. No one knew that the beloved prodigy admired by everyone had a useless older sister. At least she had food and a roof over her head, so she was content. Everything changed on her twentieth birthday, when her mental powers suddenly ran wild. By a twist of fate, she controlled an elite Sentinel who worked with her brother, someone she had once glimpsed from afar amid a cheering crowd. Afterward, Chen Erre panicked, clouded his memories with her mental control, and fled in a hurry. After consulting books, she discovered to her despair that she couldn’t contain her mental outbursts on her own. She could only use her connection to her brother to track down his colleagues, then cloud their memories too. She was like a mouse trembling in the dark. What Chen Erre didn’t know was that every time she “used” her power, her compatibility with the Sentinels increased. Once it reached its peak, her mental control... would stop working. - The day the White Tower publicly displayed compatibility scores on a screen, Chen Erre stiffly lifted her head. The giant screen showed, with crystal-clear, chilling precision... More than one elite Sentinel had reached peak compatibility with her. Heavy footsteps drew closer, one after another, and everyone fell silent. She stood frozen in place, cold all over. The footsteps stopped, and a familiar, unhurried voice came from above her, like the sword of Damocles about to fall. “Did you enjoy yourself last night?” Content warnings: 1. The male lead is faithful in both body and heart, but he’s no good person. 2. The younger brother and the female lead are not blood-related and aren’t on the same household register. 3. Contains coercive scenes. 4. The female lead isn’t a good person either. She seems dark and twisted, but is actually oblivious. She’s a coward when she says she is, and brave when she dares to be. The characters are imperfect. Her difficult personality early on is tied to her past trauma, and she’ll gradually change. Updates around 11 p.m., aiming for one chapter every other day.
