Cool and aloof masterful female lead × soft and sweet demon king male lead
In the highly advanced 21st century, a horror game called Heartless Tales takes the world by storm. Initially, players entered the game for fun. But soon, they realized the game offers only two outcomes: clear the game or die. Worse yet, once the game starts, there's no way to exit.
The game’s creator, the mysterious "Z," never appears in public, silently observing from the shadows. Despite numerous attempts, authorities fail to save players who perished in the game. Amidst the brawny elites in the game, a slender, black-clad girl stands out like a sore thumb.
Li Rushi, head of Tianyi Sect, failed a breakthrough and transmigrated into the body of an orphaned girl. Her lifelong wish is to promote the teachings of the occult. Initially, she joined the game simply to rebuild her sect and earn enough money to buy a house.
Then she discovered she could restore her spiritual energy by gaining attention from her live-stream audience, gradually unlock her spatial dimension, and even communicate with her junior disciples in another realm. Plus, completing all levels of the game awards a whopping 1 billion yuan.
Li Rushi: "Suddenly, I feel incredibly motivated!"
As other players trembled in fear, fleeing NPCs and failing miserably, Li Rushi moved with ease—jumping across rooftops and sending NPCs scattering.
As others struggled desperately to survive in hopeless scenarios, Li Rushi wielded her sword to break through barriers and quickly found the clues to pass the level.
As others were about to fall prey to NPCs, Li Rushi drew talismans and recited incantations, helping everyone escape the game unscathed.
Players: "Please carry us, Mommy! We're your babies!"
Viewers: "She's so cool, I love her. She's definitely my wife!"
Li Rushi: "This is just everyday stuff. You'll get used to it."
Zong Li: (quietly sulking) "She’s clearly my wife..."
This is the story of an occult master striving to rebuild her sect and make her country proud—all within a terrifying horror game.
Terminally ill with no hope of recovery, Yu Xiao had long embraced a Zen-like attitude, waiting for death in peace.
One day, her phone automatically downloaded an app—The Four Hospital Patient Forum.
"The Four Hospital? Isn’t that the local psychiatric hospital?"
She opened the app. The first post:
[Guide to Navigating the Morgue]
Yu Xiao: ???
The second post:
[Ranking the Ghosts and Monsters I've Encountered Over the Years]
Yu Xiao: "As expected, this is a psychiatric forum."
[Step-by-Step Tutorial to Becoming a Talisman Master!]
That… sounded kind of fun.
——
That night, terror descended. The hospital was shrouded in blood-red light, and indescribable monsters roamed the halls.
“Let me see which patient has been naughty tonight...”
——
During the nightly rounds, the inspection ghost lifted Yu Xiao’s blanket. It touched the talisman lying beside her pillow.
The ghost was immediately struck by divine lightning.
The inspection ghost wailed: "Why is there a high-level talisman in a beginner’s instance?!"
