"And you are the host I have chosen. Your mission is to conquer the male lead of this parallel world—to make him bow his proud head before you."
The system's voice turned to Su Qianqian, brimming with barely contained excitement and satisfaction. "You are innocent, soft, like an untouched sheet of pristine paper. Your pure soul and untainted aura are the rarest qualities in this world."
"More importantly, your eighteen years of isolation have shaped you into someone who strives to do everything well, to live each day fully. This vibrant energy will instinctively draw someone like Gu Chengyu to you."
"If you are willing, bind with me and accept this mission."
"You can escape the shadow of death and live again in that world."
Live again...
The longing in her heart outweighed her unease about that chaotic world.
Su Qianqian wanted to seize this lifeline—her breath quickened slightly as she answered without hesitation, "Yes, I’m willing."
The system paused. "However... you won’t be arriving out of nowhere."
"You will take the place of someone: Lin Shu’s assistant."
The scene shifted, revealing a young girl with delicate features and timid eyes, dressed in a plain T-shirt and jeans, bustling around a film set for Lin Shu.
"This is the body you will inhabit."
"In the original timeline, after the male lead marries, this assistant accidentally witnesses Lin Shu’s affair with another actor. Later, when Lin Shu is attacked by an obsessed anti-fan, she heartlessly pushes the girl forward to take the blows."
"Seven stabs—each one fatal. When she’s found, she lies in a pool of blood, her death gruesome."
The simulation of the bloody scene flashed before Su Qianqian, leaving her pale and trembling.
"The real Su Qianqian of that world has already moved on to her next life, leaving behind only this empty vessel and a tragic fate."
The system continued, "You must live in her place while completing your mission."
So, not only would she have to face the reckless and dangerous Gu Chengyu, but she’d also carry the burden of this doomed identity?
Su Qianqian’s voice wavered with fear. "Will I die like her? I’ve only just gotten a chance to live..."
"Fear is natural, host."
The system’s tone softened reassuringly. "But remember, you are not without advantages."
"First, your original beauty and grace are unparalleled—far beyond the mere prettiness of this body’s original owner."
"Second, as a binding reward, the system will optimize you deeply."
"Not only will your skin, features, and figure be refined to flawless perfection, but more importantly..."
A gentle yet powerful light enveloped Su Qianqian’s consciousness.
The screen transformed into a mirror, and she saw herself.
Her already delicate skin now glowed with a luminous sheen, like the finest mutton-fat jade.
Her features sharpened into breathtaking precision—a beauty both innocent and intoxicating.
Her curves became exquisitely defined: a slender waist, full and perky breasts and hips, a graceful back, shapely legs, delicate feet...
A warmth stirred deep in Su Qianqian’s abdomen, her body growing even more sensitive and alluring with each breath.
Beneath her jade-like skin, the system’s greatest gift was a body that would enslave the chosen one of fate.
This natural seductiveness, blended with her innate purity, made her charm incalculable—even to the well-traveled system.
"Do you feel it?"
The system’s voice dripped with pride. "This is your true weapon."
"Outer beauty is your passport; the allure within is the key to locking his body in place."
"Any man who encounters your intoxicating presence will drown in you, unable to break free."
"Your tragic fate, even Lin Shu—who brought you to this point—will mean nothing before a man like Gu Chengyu."
"So, do not fear. Make the most powerful man willingly kneel for you, become your shield."
"One more thing to remember: your body is only the foundation. How you become the treasure of Gu Chengyu’s heart, rather than just a plaything, is something you must discover for yourself."
