Ding dong!

A unique ringtone came from the cell phone being charged on the desk.

Lin Qianshuang sat in front of the computer and sent the newly completed design plan to her team leader. Turning on her phone as she slacked off, a special announcement from Weibo popped up on the screen, a novel had updated on Jinjiang.

Lin Qianshuang looked at the website that hadn't been updated for a very long time. She was a little excited as she was a bookworm who had been reading novels for 6 years. After getting off of work, she likes to pick up her phone to read novels with an astonishingly fast speed. She could finish reading a novel with 600,000 words in 3 hours. Recently, the novels she had been reading were full of Horror. She, who used to only look at Urban Fiction, began to look at other genres.

The quality of Jinjiang's novels had always been guaranteed. Lin Qianshuang has often found godly novels there. She was worried that she'd have nothing to do for an hour while waiting for the team leader's reply, so she couldn't wait to open Jinjiang on her Weibo.

The novel from the Weibo announcement is a Lily Xianxia called "Conquest of the Four Realms".

The above novel is a heart-rending story with a strong female lead about how a cultivation waste returns with beauty and ascends to godhood step by step.

The corners of Lin Qianshuang's mouth twitched a bit. The description of the announcement is somewhat a little enthusiastic, but this kind of novel is her cup of tea.

Lin Qianshuang, who hadn't read a book for a long time, couldn't wait to click in but found that the link given by Jinjiang was not working and not long after, the announcement was deleted.

Lin Qianshuang just recently got interested in the book, so she naturally refused to let it go. She searched for the title of the book on Baidu and immediately found the full novel, purchased and downloaded it. She was puzzled when she found out that the novel was not serialised in Jinjiang, but in another literary website that she had never heard of.

After downloading the full novel, Lin Qianshuang prepared herself and couldn't wait to read it.

The magnificent and majestic world/truth/boundaries of cultivation, she likes it!

A unique plot setting, she likes it!

The highly intelligent female characters with different personalities, she likes it!

At that time, she saw Xiao Lanle (Yue), her favourite little sister of the Immortal Sect, being forced to bear the first person description of lewd gazes and thoughts.

Lin Qianshuang felt like a basin of cold water was poured over her heart, the enthusiasm for reading the novel wore off and an indescribable expression showed on her face.

She finally realized that she was reading a stallion novel, or a novel with sexual fantasies written in first person.

It's no wonder that the girls in the novel are all highly intelligent, yet can be forced. When they reach the arms of the first person male protagonist, they turn into soulless puppets, their IQ drops, and they even agree to have multiple women serving their husband.

The male protagonist had always loved his white moonlight, who has been dead for many years. But the four most prominent female characters were willing to take turns accompanying the scumbag as stand-ins.

The male protagonist of the novel was a loser in his past life, and still is. He originally lived at home with his mother as a good-for-nothing son, but after crossing over to become the second generation of immortals, his golden finger was opened and he was blessed by the heavens, becoming a genius of cultivation without much effort.

The good plot setting was for nothing when it turned out to be a cliché novel with sexual fantasies.13

Lin Qianshuang is a straight woman, and also a person who was very particular about feminism. Almost all of the female characters in the novel were her ideal type, possessing intelligence, courage, and drive. If they hadn't fallen blindly in love with the male protagonist in the novel, they might have been able to dominate their respective realms.

When she thought of the powerful female characters being tossed around and ruined by the loser male protagonist, Lin Qianshuang's heart felt a little stifled. **Good cabbage has been arched by pigs! Obviously without the male protagonist, these girls alone are big bosses who could fight the whole world.2

[**T/N: Good cabbage has been arched by pigs - An expression meaning that the couple is not a good match/a good woman(cabbage) was married to a bad man(pig)]

Lin Qianshuang was disgusted, but the money was already spent so she couldn't help but read it. She endured to see the extra chapter and those girls, in order to allow the male protagonist to ascend to godhood, surprisingly all died.

Died......

She spent forty yuan to buy the full novel but was fed with a mouthful of shit!6

Lin Qianshuang was very upset. She logged onto the website and searched for the Author's Weibo. She found out that the Author was a straight man who often belittled women, liked domestic violence, and liked to show off pictures of himself having skinship with his female fans(?). In the comment section of his novel "Conquest of the Four Realms", were all kinds of lewd comments made by a group of Otakus, most of them were dissatisfied with how the male protagonist was unfamiliar with picking up girls and how the description of the **H Scene was not delicate enough.

(T/N: A bit confused about this here, the raw text is: 炫耀草女粉1

**H scene - Erotic scenes)

Lin Qianshuang felt like she was brain-dead after reading such a shameful novel. Her heart ached at the thought of having spent forty yuan on it and she, who has always rarely commented, wrote down a review with negative points, expressing her injustice in the book review section for her favourite female characters, writing a full 300 words.

Just two to three seconds after the review was posted, a red coloured author's reply suddenly appeared below her review.

Author: Would you save them if you were given a chance to?

Lin Qianshuang suspected that her eyesight was bad. The Author had replied too quickly and his style of writing was completely different from his other replies to the various book reviews which exposed his nature as a loser.

Before Lin Qianshuang could think of what to say, another reply from the Author appeared.

Author: Welcome to the [Harem Rescue Project], review the rescue strategies for the female characters and you will be allowed to return. The System will teleport you to your destination in 20 seconds.8

Lin Qianshuang gave the Author's reply an inexplicable look, her team leader's **penguin also lit up at this moment. She quickly turned off the novel's interface and opened up her messenger. There was no comment on her design plan, only a set of numbers decreasing from 20; it was a countdown.

(**T/N: The penguin icon is from QQ, an instant messaging app from China similar to Wechat.)

Was the team leader telling her to meet him in his office in 20 seconds?

The more Lin Qianshuang thought about it, the more she felt that this was very likely. She got up from her desk, straightened her long skirt which had been wrinkled from sitting down, took the documents on her desk and headed towards the team leader's office. The moment she stood in front of his door and twisted the handle, there was a burst of sound in her ears.

"The information was successfully implanted. Welcome Lin Qianshuang, the chosen candidate for the 'Conquest of the Four Realms', have a pleasant journey."

Lin Qianshuang was confused by the sudden prompt sounding in her ears. She wondered if reading that stallion novel stunned her and gave her auditory hallucinations.2

The office door was pulled open by Lin Qianshuang whose vision suddenly went black, she was blinded instantly and couldn't see anything.

Did she get low blood pressure for not eating breakfast?

Lin Qianshuang was surprised by the sudden darkness and was just muttering in her mind when the darkness in her eyes vanished briefly.

Reflected in her eyes was a vast, boundless blue sky. Layers of clouds suspended in the sky drifted along its pure blue shade like water without a trace of pollution. Light travelled from the clouds towards the lush trees and flocks of birds perched on top of the branches, as if frightened, suddenly flew up as they recklessly fled deeper into the forest.

A heavy smell of blood lingered at the tip of her nose, contrasting the fresh and cool air that poured in her lungs. An angry howl belonging to a beast made the earth tremble.

Lin Qianshuang found herself lying on the ground, her eardrums rustling slightly. She was so intimidated by the huge power pressuring her that she could not move and could only cover her ears in an effort to get rid of the sound waves that went way beyond human tolerance.

The beast's heavy hooves moved sluggishly to her direction, each step was like a rock falling to the ground with an ear-splitting thud.

Lin Qianshuang's limbs were a little sore. She found out that her body was covered in bloody wounds, and the soft and light material of the dress covering her body was cut into fine pieces of cloth.

When did she change her clothes? This wasn't the business outfit she was wearing.

Lin Qianshuang sat up and looked around. She was surrounded by corpses scattered all over the wasteland; the houses had collapsed, spreading the blazing fire. She seemed to be in a village, and this village had just experienced a tragic catastrophe.

Thump... Thump... Thump...

The heavy, ground-shaking sound of the beast's hooves was getting closer and closer.

Lin Qianshuang sensed the danger and turned around to look. A behemoth with a gray body covered in scales appeared behind her, sticky liquid was flowing down its long and pointed fangs.

She was shocked by the sight of the spectacular monster that had appeared a 100 metres away from her. A magical beast comparable to the European and American special effects and CGI in blockbuster movies came to life in front of her, there was no way she was dreaming about it.

Lin Qianshuang secretly felt awful. The corpses and burnt houses around her were clearly the work of the behemoth in front of her, which was approaching her with a rhythm, ready to kill her.

Suddenly, she heard a familiar conversation.

"Please, save my senior sister! She is still in the village and has not come out yet!"

"Fellow Daoist, your senior sister is in the formation used to kill the Demonic Cang Lan beast, and now the killing array is already in operation. She has long been unable to return to heaven."

"But it was because of me that senior sister is trapped in the killing array. I beg you! I, Penglai Immortal Sect disciple, Liang Jingxuan, kneel for you!"

"I dare not accept such a thing, there's nothing we can do. Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry for your loss."

......

After hearing the name Liang Jingxuang, Lin Qianshuang was shocked. Isn't this the male protagonist of "Conquest of the Four Realms"? She looked at the three people in the distance who were suspended in the air as they stood on flying swords. The mysterious Venerable clothed in green with a long beard, Fairy Miao Yin standing and holding the zither, and the young man kneeling in front of them with red eyes and clenched teeth.

The scene in front of her exactly describes the beginning of the novel.

Liang Jingxuan from the modern world became a basic disciple of Penglai Immortal Sect. He went through his days muddled without learning anything, but because of his outstanding talent, he went under the wing of an old man from Tianshu and met a good-hearted senior sister who looked like his first love from high school.

When going down the mountains for an experience, the Demonic beast Cang Lan broke its seal and invaded the village, killing the people within. Penglai Immortal Sect sent an urgent message to the disciples who were ordered to go down the mountains, to seize the Demonic beast together. However, the senior sister failed to get out of the killing array in time in order to protect her waste of a junior brother and died inside.

This beautiful and good-hearted person who was a nameless cannon fodder and was only described in 50 words, became the white moonlight in Liang Jingxuan's heart, and also became the reason why the male protagonist picked up his junior sister in the future.

In the full novel, Lin Qianshuang remembered a heartfelt sentence, which is also the first sentence the scumbag said to every female character he XXOO'd with while pretending to be affectionate, "You resemble her so much. Surely, it must be God who brought you to my eyes. I owe her my life, and I owe you. I will spend this entire lifetime making it up to you, my beloved."8

Liang Jingxuan listened to the words of the two masters and knew that his senior sister could not be saved. He had no choice but to helplessly leave with them. In the end, he looked at the woman in the killing array with pity and regret in his eyes.

It is rare to meet a girl who is to your liking but was so short-lived. They have been in love with each other for so long, and he was thinking of asking the master for her hand in marriage to become Dao Companions in a few days.

Liang Jingxuan's hands under his sleeves slowly squeezed tightly. It's all because of his lack of strength, otherwise, his senior sister would have still been alive. He must become stronger, yes, he must become stronger!

After reading the original novel, Lin Qianshuang naturally knew his thoughts. The corners of her mouth twitched, feeling that he was not worthy of his white moonlight.1

Suddenly, she felt a little strange. Why was Liang Jingxuan looking at her? Shouldn't he be looking at his white moonlight?2

In this event, she was trapped in the killing array. Could it be that the male protagonist was pleading for her?

Lin Qianshuang's face tensed up, her right eye twitched wildly.

Damn, it's not what she had in mind!

She turned out to be the cannon fodder white moonlight who died at the beginning of the novel!
