Ye Chen died.

This was the author’s second novel that had this opening, which proved one thing. Humans often met with opportunities after death, such as Ye Chen. She was a diligent and conscientious little clerk during her lifetime, had no life pursuits, with her greatest aspiration being world peace.

Her thoughts were very simple. With her IQ, she would’ve definitely been a cannon fodder in a turbulent society, and could only possibly survive steadily under the glory of socialism. Just like now, working nine to five, purchase lipsticks and bags. As long as the world was peaceful, life had hope.

Just before she died, she had a boy confess to her. This was her first confession in 23 years. When the other party meekly asked her: “What are your wishes, I would tread through water and fire¹ to make it come true for you!” She was nervous and blurted out. : “I want world peace!”

¹TN: Basically go through any amount of difficulty.

Right at that moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and struck her dead right in front of her crush…

Struck until she became charcoal kind of death.

After she died, she became a quick transmigrator and owned a system called 3838438.¹ This system was a two by two square meter large smiling QQ expression.² It told her that her mission was to save the world’s peace.

¹TN: This is a joke since when you call someone a 38 (san ba), you’re insulting that they’re a dimwit. So this system’s name is basically stupid idiot goddamn imbecile.

²TN: Imagine staring at this all the time as your ‘system’

“We have to go into many different books. Each book is a separate world, and each world will have its core (main basis). For example, the core of a romance novel was for the male and female to get together; the core of a feel good novel³ was having the protagonist turning the tides and finally venturing to the pinnacle of life. Our goal is, while still maintaining the core of the book, to save the big villains in the book, that have summoned the wind and invoked rain⁴, destroying the world and creating human tragedies. We need to help the villains establish the correct three views, thus ensuring the world’s preservation. “

³TN: There’s really no english equivalent for this. 爽文 (Shuang wen) are just novels where the protagonist reaches the peak of their life easily and face slaps those around them.

⁴TN: 呼风唤雨 – basically stirring up trouble

The system said a lot. He thought that Ye Chen would ask questions.

Turns out, in regards to this task, Ye Chen only asked one question —– Is the villain handsome?

At that time the system felt a little flustered, but still managed to hold itself back. He nodded and said, handsome.

Ye Chen agreed immediately.

“Hold up!” The system crumbled a little: “Don’t you have any other questions? Do you realize what you would have to face? Those villains are all scum! The emotional scum, world scum kind of scum! You really don’t want to consider it some more?”

Ye Chen shook her head decisively: “For world peace, I am willing to dedicate myself!”

Later on, the system learned that there is a type of dog in the world called Face Dog.⁵

⁵TN: Face dog = someone who judges based on the face; so long as you’re good looking, everything is ok!….type of person.

Then it found out that when Ye Chen said she would dedicate herself, it was not the devotion he had expected.

The host was so cooperative that the system couldn’t refuse. He could only tell her: “Host, thank you for your cooperation, then I will send you the world’s synopsis.”

“Okay.” Ye Chen nodded, then looked up seriously: “Before that, I have a request.”

“Go ahead.” The system abruptly replied solemnly. Ye Chen stared at its big yellow smile on his face, and said seriously: “I don’t like you calling me host. I would like you to call me baby.”

System: “…”

God damn this must be a psychopath!

The system took a deep breath and said coldly, “Get the hell out of here!”

The moment the voice fell, Ye Chen felt her mind filled with an enormous amount of things, as her body was sucked into a vortex.

“Slow down…” Ye Chen was squeezed and knocked around within the vortex. Her brain was so crammed so much by the influx of things that it started to hurt. She gritted her teeth: “I’m going to vomit!!!”

The system ignored her, and Ye Chen quickly became absorbed in the memory she had accepted.

The world she was going to was a world similar to the modern world.

Her body was also called Ye Chen in this world. This Ye Chen had a good background. Her father was a real estate developer, and her mother was a singer. Ever since the two divorced as a result of emotional conflicts, Ye Chen had been living outside alone. In order to defend herself, she learned mixed martial arts from an early age. In her sixteen-year-old life, Ye Chen was almost an invincible little gal.⁶

⁶TN: Gyaru

Her mission’s target was a young man in the class named Gu Jianan. He was an accident left by a rapist who had raped a young girl. His mother Gu Chi abhorred him. When he was young, she frequently scolded him at the slightest pretext. Later, Gu Chi married a man. This man had some unspeakable tendencies, which made the tragic life of Gu Jianan even worse. As a result, Gu Jianan lost his ability to communicate with people at a very young age, not knowing how to speak in the slightest and apathetic to the outside world. As a result of this strange personality, he was often bullied in school. As for this Ye Chen, she was the head of the ones who bullied him.

People like Ye Chen were usually cannon fodder. Equivalent to the cannon fodder, there was naturally a female lead. That female lead was Ye Chen’s younger half-sister, Ye Min.

Ye Min is a character who exuded the light of Mary Su. While everyone bullied Gu Jianan, she alone gave Gu Jianan the rare sympathy and care. Her kindness became a clear contrast compared with Ye Chen’s viciousness, and Gu Jianan, naturally, fell in love with her.

But Gu Jianan buried this feeling very deep within his heart because Mary Su Ye Min had an unbreakable connection with this world’s beloved son, Zhou Yu, the son of a high-ranking official. Gu Jianan knew that his identity was not worthy of Ye Min, thus he never even approached her. He lived in a dark corner until one day, he couldn’t withstand it any longer. He killed his parents, then forged the scene of the murder as a scene of burglary, and began to live on relief funds and scholarships.
