Blurb:
Luo Shu was just as her name suggested: radiant and beautiful, with a face like a flower.
After dying suddenly in an accident, she was sent by a quick transmigration System to various small worlds. She could only get a chance to be reborn by completing her missions.
Unwilling to die young, Luo Shu threw herself into her work. But because she was so beautiful, she kept unintentionally derailing the otherwise stable plots of the small worlds.
After she threw the plots of several worlds into chaos, the System broke down and begged her to stop doing missions.
Luo Shu: o.O?
【World One: The Widow's Sister-in-Law】
She was vain and money-hungry, with a pretty face but nothing in her head.
To marry into a wealthy family and enjoy a life of luxury, she lied, claiming she'd been secretly in love with a rich heiress for years, and married the long-dead heiress in a ghost marriage. The young, aloof sister-in-law hated people like her, who were so vain and greedy.
Late one night, after Luo Shu had fallen asleep, the young woman pushed open the door to the master bedroom. She shamelessly left marks on Luo Shu's slender waist.
When she was caught, the usually rational, cool woman looked at her inscrutably. Her burning fingertip clasped Luo Shu's slender ankle as she smiled and pressed her:
“We look so much alike. Why can't you treat me like you treat my sister?”
Luo Shu only wanted to complete her mission and had no desire to get involved with a madwoman. She tried to run.
In the black-and-white portrait at the foot of the bed, the gorgeous evil ghost took shape. Her gaze was cold and murderous as she said ominously:
“Don't... touch... her...”
“She... is... mine...”
【World Two: The Low-Quality Beta Who Can't Smell Pheromones Is the Darling of a Prestigious Academy】
She was a nobody, a bland and scentless low-quality beta who followed the academy's star, F1. Dull, slow, and ignored by everyone.
[Your beauty is an open secret to everyone.]
[They all want you for themselves. You were never really invisible. You were a darling desired by countless people in secret.]
[And yet you're a beta who can't be marked.]
Later, when her true appearance was revealed, Luo Shu was hounded. She fled from place to place in a panic, until she finally turned to the only person who disliked her, F1, for help.
F1 looked at her with something like pity and smiled as she agreed:
“Sure.”
Beta Luo Shu, unable to smell pheromones, was deeply moved. She never realized that, from the day she started school, she had been covered in F1's feverish, urgent, longing alpha pheromones.
【World Three: “Mom”】
Her mission was to look after the research facility's most mysterious test subject, who was powerful and beautiful, but dangerously lethal.
To everyone's shock, the brutal test subject behaved like a well-behaved child in front of Luo Shu. To complete her mission, the audacious Luo Shu told an enormous lie, claiming to be the amnesiac test subject's mother. Every night, she sang lullabies to help it fall asleep.
Later, after her identity was exposed, Luo Shu was forced to find another way to soothe it to sleep.
Countless tentacles, long covetous of her, coiled around Luo Shu and spread her arms and legs apart, invading every inch of her skin.
The test subject rested in the soft nest of her arms. It kissed her trembling belly obsessively and longingly, its tentacles quivering with excitement. Knowing full well that her claim was false, it still asked deliberately:
“Mom, can I go inside the place where you carried me?”
Luo Shu shut her eyes in despair. Her mouth, stuffed full of tentacles, couldn't even cry for help.
【World Four: The White Bamboo Grove】
She was sickly from birth and fated to die young. Her family brought home a white jade Guanyin statue to extend her life.
As an adult, Luo Shu moved far from home. On the night of her twenty-fifth birthday, she dreamed of a white bamboo grove.
A woman with skin like ice and bones like jade stood in the mist, dressed in white like Guanyin come to life. A bright red cinnabar mark burned between her brows.
With white silk covering her eyes, Luo Shu made love to the woman whose face she couldn't see, her voice so hoarse that she could only whimper.
A month later, unable to bear it any longer, Luo Shu followed a clue back to her hometown in search of the truth.
In the middle of the dilapidated old house, she saw a Guanyin statue tangled in spiderwebs. Its eyes were wide open, its face wore a strange smile, and its eerie gaze pointed greedily at her.
Luo Shu felt as if she'd fallen into an icy abyss. This was no Guanyin at all. The one who had saved her back then was clearly an evil god.
Making a deal with an evil god always comes at a price.
She couldn't escape.
To be continued. Other worlds to be decided.
