To make money, Xia An accepted a simulation System and experienced different lives.
In her first life, Xia An became an apprentice professor at the Deep Blue Magic Tower. She took in a starving, freezing refugee as her disciple and raised her into a peerless Archmage.
She sheltered her from every storm before her fledgling wings could take flight, all the while concealing the fact that she had long since been diagnosed with a terminal illness.
When her disciple rushed into her room, overjoyed, to tell Xia An that her experiment had succeeded, Xia An peacefully fell asleep forever in the recliner behind her desk. A thick diary on the desk held more than twenty years of silent confessions.
In her second life, Xia An became a newly appointed cardinal. She adopted a girl left homeless by war and raised her into the youngest Holy Knight in history.
As she watched the girl raise the banner of holy war and liberate one human city after another, Xia An quietly became her most reliable support. At last, faced with a battle that meant certain death, Xia An, who had spent her whole life in the shadows, stepped forward and sacrificed herself to clear the way for her.
Third life... Fourth life... Fifth life...
Then, one day, Xia An found herself deep in thought as she read the historical biography When the Stars of Civilization Shone.
Something was wrong...
After an unknown number of simulations, Xia An realized something was amiss.
She compared the portraits in the book to the girls in her memories, rolling around on the bed and demanding that she cook them something delicious.
Were they all real?
