Side Character A Swears to Protect the Sweet Romance World

Chao Ning was an utterly ordinary tasker.

After spending most of her life scraping by in n high-risk worlds, she finally landed a new job she was happy with.

In a sweet-romance world, she was a background character who only had to stand by while the male and female leads fell in love. The work was easy, the hours were flexible, and there were few tasks. The only tricky part was that three romance novels had merged into one world, leaving her with three different secret identities.

In the sweet romance set at an elite academy,

Chao Ning was a scholarship student and a bookworm who was always top of her class. After a group of aristocratic students maliciously mocked her, the heroine stood up for her, and Chao Ning became one of her friends.

In the entertainment-industry romance,

Chao Ning was the seriously ill younger sister of the top-star heroine. She was almost in a vegetative state and would not wake up for a long time, so all she had to do was twitch her pinky whenever someone came to visit.

In the urban romance about wealthy families,

Chao Ning was a rich heiress studying abroad. She was a childhood friend of both leads, but only ever appeared in the group chat, making a brief appearance at their wedding.

Looking at the steady, flourishing storylines, Chao Ning happily settled into her retirement life.

Until one day, a familiar System voice suddenly rang in her mind: [Host, your world has suffered a data intrusion. Please do your best to protect the main plot.]

Then everything changed:

Infinite-game dungeons descended upon the elite academy. The newly transferred "scholarship students" were all in a worrying mental state, constantly muttering about "school rules," "missions," and "death." If they accidentally stepped on someone's shoes, they would drop to their knees and wail. Fights broke out constantly across the academy, leaving the leads too distracted to fall in love and disrupting their peaceful lives.

Monsters invaded the entertainment industry. After filming a horror movie, the heroine, Chao Ning's older sister, awakened the "ability to see ghosts." From then on, she was haunted by spirits and repeatedly threatened with, "Hand over that treasure, or you'll die a horrible death." Fear brought her career and love life to a standstill, putting the storyline at risk of collapse.

In A City, Lovecraftian horror resurged. During the leads' wedding ceremony, the officiant's body suddenly swelled, and his eyeballs shot out as he lunged at the horrified guests. The ceremony was cut short, and the newlyweds nearly became contaminated creatures on their wedding day.

Chao Ning: ?

Whoever ruins my sweet-romance world dies!

The infinite-game taskers, ghosts, and contaminated creatures watched as a certain background character drew a long blade.

In that moment, they finally remembered the terror of being dominated by a great demon king in high-risk worlds.

Later, after accidentally exposing one of her secret identities while trying to correct the storylines, Chao Ning was pursued across n worlds by her former nemesis. She had this to say: I regret it... I really regret it.
