Female Protagonist
I Accidentally Joined a Horror Group Chat and Became an Insider
[Infinite scenarios + mild horror + lighthearted + special advantage + no fixed romantic pairing + scenarios + wish fulfillment]
Lin Yinxi has been killed by monsters ninety-nine times in a women’s dormitory.
The hundredth time she opens her eyes, her phone vibrates before she can even try to escape.
Someone with a rabbit profile picture adds her to a strange group chat.
[Women’s Dorm Building 1 Flayer Work Assignments]
Every member is a monster that has hunted her down in the dormitory before.
[Rabbit Keeper: The socially anxious Organizer is working on the fifth floor. Other staff, please do not disturb her.]
[Flayer 003: Szzzz… New colleague, remember to claim your starter pack…]
[Prop Maker: Time for some pics!]
Only then does Lin Yinxi realize that every move those human-hunting monsters make is visible in the group.
And she has been mistaken for a humanoid entity and brought into the group to work.
So Lin Yinxi joins more and more entity group chats. She lurks to steal intelligence and uses stickers to chat with the entities and maintain her disguise.
One tiny slip, and she’s dead.
As the conversations go on, Lin Yinxi discovers that the groups she enters are increasingly high-level. Little by little, she draws closer to the entities’ management.
Entity: We’ve been chatting for so long. Want to meet offline?
Lin Yinxi: Taking a break from the internet. Do not disturb. Thanks.
A second later.
Her phone vibrates again.
[Stop pretending.]
[I’m right behind you.]
P.S. The scenarios combine puzzle solving, battle royales, death games, rules-based horror, urban legends, role-playing, eerie cultivation, containment-center-style settings, and more. There are a lot of elements.
Founding a Dynasty
At twenty-five, I arranged for Bighead Xiao to take his first concubine.
Her dowry was an entire city.
At twenty-six, I arranged the second.
Her dowry was ten li of granaries.
At forty-two, he took his eighteenth.
There were so many women that I could no longer remember their names.
And I had gone from a farmer’s wife to the founding empress of Great Zhao.
Ah Wu
After dying during an all-night gaming session, I woke in another world as the daughter of a destitute family.
I had dreamed of wealth, power, and a grand new life, but this world valued poor girls less than stray animals.
Sold into a merchant household, I learned that relying on a man could cost me my life.
To survive, I would have to find another path—and build a future with my own hands.
The Marquis’s True Love
My husband claimed to despise one of his concubines, while treating me, his lawful wife, with perfect devotion.
I pitied her and protected her at every turn.
After I died in childbirth, he made her his wife and handed her my entire dowry.
Reborn on the second day of our marriage, I decided to stop shielding his so-called true love—and see what their devotion was really worth.
A Romance Novel Ten Years Ahead
There were no domineering male leads here—only sweet boys with softer tempers, bigger pecs, broader shoulders, and a height over 180 centimeters.
An old-fashioned girl like me had somehow become the decent woman everyone was fighting over.
They said any woman who could resist staring at a man’s pecs had to be a good woman.
Beyond the Springtime Dream
The third time my parents came to order me to pay my brother’s gambling debts, I tossed a dagger onto the ground.
“Fine.
One finger for a thousand taels.”
As they had so many times before, they cursed and lunged to beat me.
A guard caught them by the backs of their necks and pinned them to the ground.
I raised an eyebrow.
The guard kindly taught them to kowtow.
“Repeat after me—We greet Her Highness, the noble consort.”
Twelve Springs in the Courtyard
On my first day in the Duke of Liang’s household, my stepdaughter threw her ceremonial tea onto the floor, and my stepson threatened to have me cast out.
I drenched her with a teapot and took a ruler to his hand.
When their father asked what had happened, I told him I was merely teaching the children our household’s rules.
Everyone says a stepmother’s lot is hard.
But this household would recognize only one mistress: me.
Paper Shadows, a Cold Flame
I had studied immortal arts under my master since childhood.
A sharp pair of scissors and a sheet of white paper could bring anything in the world to life.
With that gift, I cut out ten thousand swallows and sparrows when locusts ravaged the fields.
In moments, they devoured the swarm and saved an entire town.
The townsfolk bowed to me as an immortal maiden.
The county magistrate offered to submit a memorial on my behalf.
I waved him off.
“I hear someone in this town once slew a snake demon.
I would marry that man and bring a thousand pieces of gold.”
Fang Liang emerged from the crowd in filthy rags, reeking of wine.
He grabbed my hand and grinned, baring a mouthful of yellow teeth.
“Little immortal, don’t you go back on your word.”
I looked at him and smiled, with a coldness beyond words.
My master had been a snake immortal.
Mortals had tortured him to death as a demon and used him to make a secret elixir of everlasting life.
Blind and arrogant creatures.
How could they know whether the woman they took home was an immortal—or a monster?
Peerless in Brocade
I worked on a pleasure boat, making my living at the bottom of society.
One day I found a woman’s body.
While searching her for valuables, I discovered a letter tucked out of sight.
Only then did I realize who this battered, broken girl had been.
I laid a hand over her staring eyes, her body crisscrossed with bruises.
“Don’t worry.
I won’t take your name for nothing.
I’ll avenge you.”
Swallows on the Rafters
During the palace coup, I saved more than forty members of the Jiang household.
Afterward, the emperor asked what reward I wished for.
I knelt before him.
“This commoner wishes to enter the palace.”
The moment I spoke, the bright fire in the eyes of the Jiang family’s second son, standing beside His Majesty, died to ash.
