Ling Xia was bound to a System called "Fail to Win Them Over and Die."
If she didn't complete the System's missions to win people over, she would suffer all kinds of life-threatening accidents, as if Death himself had come for her.
But look at the missions the System assigned:
[Comfort Tetsuro Kuroo after he loses a match, and give him a kiss.]
She and Kuroo were just classmates. They barely knew each other!
Comforting him was fine, but she couldn't just go up and kiss him!
[Trigger a heart-fluttering misunderstanding where she accidentally falls on Ushijima and kisses him.]
Shiratorizawa was a boarding school! She was a day student at Aoba Johsai!
How was she supposed to bump into Ushijima around a corner, fall on him by accident, and kiss him while she was at it?
And with Ushijima's build and the height difference between them, could she even fall on him and kiss him?!
[Raise the affection of every target to at least 60.]
Looking at the targets scattered across the volleyball teams at schools all over the place...
Ling Xia: ...
Maybe she should just die.
What kind of tragic life did she lead, if she had to ride the Shinkansen back and forth just to win people over?
But Ling Xia wasn't the only one who could hear the System's missions.
The targets she was supposed to win over, including Kuroo, Ushijima, and the other volleyball players from various schools, could hear them too.
They all learned that a girl named Ling Xia had been unlucky enough to be bound to a System.
She had to complete the System's missions, which required her to have all kinds of physical contact with them, the targets, and raise their affection. Otherwise, she'd suffer all kinds of fatal accidents.
Ling Xia, the girl who would rather die than complete the missions, started giving up completely.
Meanwhile, the targets, who couldn't bear the thought of being responsible for an innocent person's death, took the initiative and sought her out to help her complete the missions.
The roles of pursuer and target had been completely reversed!
They all joined forces with Ling Xia and created a group chat called [The Missions Can Only Succeed, Never Fail].
Whenever the System assigned a mission, they competed to claim it in the group chat.
[Choose any target and begin a heart-fluttering life together.]
Kuroo eagerly claimed it: "Xia, just stay at my place! I'll go tell my mom we're going to live together! Do you like pink rooms!?"
Ling Xia: "Thanks... I'll pay rent and living expenses, but you can skip the pink room."
[Go on a thrilling, heart-pounding nighttime date with Ushijima.]
Ushijima: "Students aren't allowed to leave campus after curfew, but I found out where we can climb over the wall without getting caught."
"[Location] Xia, wait for me here. I'll climb over the wall."
Ling Xia felt bad for making good student Ushijima sneak out for a nighttime date. "Please be careful..."
[Comfort Kageyama after he loses a match, and give him a kiss.]
Ling Xia: "The missions can repeat..."
Kuroo was full of regret. "Aaaah! If I'd known, I wouldn't have gone easy on little Tobio!"
Kageyama, about to be comforted and kissed, forgot all about his disappointment and sadness over losing. Now he was flustered and embarrassed!
[Why settle for a parent-and-child rice bowl when you can have a brothers' rice bowl? Go on a three-person date with twin brothers Osamu and Atsumu Miya.]
Atsumu: "Oh! Osamu! They called us a brothers' rice bowl!"
Osamu: "Sounds just as delicious as a parent-and-child rice bowl. So, Xia, are you ready to taste the brothers' rice bowl Atsumu and I have to offer?"
Ling Xia: "..."
Her stomach was too weak for something that intense!
The System's missions include, but aren't limited to:
[On a romantic rainy day, share Kuroo's umbrella and spend the rainy night together.]
[Appear in Kenma's first livestream and help him attract more followers.]
[Even neat freaks have to kiss, so take Sakusa's first kiss.]
[Choose any five targets and experience confessing your love for the first time.]
