SVRP Chapter 1

Looking at the waves of allies protesting alongside her in the comments section, Qin Dongwan squinted in satisfaction.

She had recently read an infinite flow novel titled “Infinite Realm: The Ultimate Pampering of the Strongest Wife by Yi Shao.” In it, the female protagonist, Ji Yun, was a Mary Sue with numerous male supporting characters falling for her, and the female supporting characters were generally brainless.

Among them, a female supporting character named Luo Shu stood out and became the dark moonlight in the hearts of many anti-Mary Sue fans.

Her harmless appearance contrasted sharply with her ruthless personality, instantly making the saintly female protagonist Ji Yun seem insignificant in comparison.

Unfortunately, such an overpowered protagonist would never allow a female supporting character to survive. In response to readers’ calls for the protagonists to be together quickly, the author made the second male lead and Luo Shu perish together, satisfying the lovesick male lead trope and punishing the evil female supporting character.

Thus, amidst the outcry, Luo Shu fan, Qin Dongwan led the charge with a three-thousand-word heartfelt review, rallying the allies:

“Protest against the brainless rise of the female lead, give us back our adorable Luo Shu!”

“Luo Shu could single-handedly take on any male lead in the early and mid-stages, but in the end, she fell just because Zuo Chu grabbed her and jumped into the abyss together?”

“‘She was grabbed by the tall man and jumped into the abyss, her dark purple eyes looking up at the sky covered in haze, filled with emptiness.’ While Luo Shu was being tormented, Ji Yun was still coquettishly in the male lead’s arms. Look at this unfair treatment!”

Qin Dongwan, flipping through the comments, agreed wholeheartedly and quickly liked the top three allied comments.

The night outside was as black as ink, and the lightning flashing among the clouds suddenly lit up the room as bright as day. Qin Dongwan instinctively stood up to close the window, but her mind seemed to be struck by the thunder outside, leaving her body frozen in place.

[System activated.]

[Congratulations player Qin Dongwan, you have been selected for the “Villain Rescue Plan,” becoming the first beta tester to meet your beloved character face to face. You will now be transported into the book. We wish you success in passing the levels and rescuing your beloved villain, helping her survive in this book.]

Before she could resist, the whole world started spinning.

Rescue what?!

Luo Shu?

As she fell into the dark, her mind flashed with the image of a petite and bright figure—

In an instant, the figure turned around gracefully, her eyes, like wine, slowly lifting, as if to absorb her soul…

[Transmission complete. Please look ahead, the plot is about to begin.]

The dizziness still lingered in her mind as a boy’s figure appeared vaguely in front of Qin Dongwan.

With hair like a messy haystack, dark eyes filled with worry, a barely handsome face, and a striking red streak in his yellow hair, he vaguely reminded Qin Dongwan of a familiar character.

Tang Zihang, the childhood friend of the female supporting character who shared her name in the novel.

Tang Zihang seemed about to cry, hitting her shoulder twice in an attempt to wake his good friend from her daze.

Qin Dongwan, already hit by multiple shocks upon arriving, was almost sent to the heavens with these two punches. She immediately pushed him away to create some temporary peace for herself.

“Dongwan, you must pull yourself together. Let’s figure out how to get out of here!”

In the original book, everyone was panicking after being inexplicably brought here. Assuming she was struggling to accept the situation, Tang Zihang went to talk to others.

As Tang Zihang walked away, the system’s voice sounded in her ear:

[Player Qin Dongwan, please integrate into the plot quickly. You can leave the book and return to your world once you complete the task of rescuing the villain.]

Gradually digesting the fact that she had transmigrated into the novel, Qin Dongwan still angrily communicated with the system in her mind:

“Can’t you give this lucky spot to someone else? Forcing me to do this task is too much. I refuse!”

Although she liked Luo Shu, she wasn’t willing to risk her life. She hadn’t read the novel thoroughly, only Luo Shu’s parts, but the infinite flow plot was full of dangers, surviving wasn’t easy.

The mechanical voice remained indifferent but with a hint of teasing:

[Please bring out the spirit you had when writing a three-thousand-word heartfelt review for Luo Shu, and achieve your wish of zero-distance contact with your beloved character. You are the lucky chosen player, and the system will serve you wholeheartedly.]

Qin Dongwan: “…” Ha.

She had nothing more to say.

Hugging her knees in a corner, she looked around. This was a dark underground warehouse, lit by an old kerosene lamp, barely providing some light.

Besides herself and Tang Zihang, a few others stood or sat with varied expressions, all tightly shut their mouths, having no interaction.

She remembered the original book described this scene with a broadcast announcing they had five minutes to find the key, or they’d be trapped inside. Despite her mixed feelings, Qin Dongwan stood up and began searching for the key.

Although upset about her forced transmigration, she knew the only way to find a way back was to survive.

She also remembered the key was hidden in a specific mechanism in the small room.

Though she had skimmed through the novel, her good memory helped her recall the details of the first challenge.

As she felt along the wall, the mechanical electronic voice suddenly sounded in the room, followed by a tingly feeling, and she was forced to freeze in place.

“Dear player friends, good evening. Welcome to the Life and Death Rotation game. Detailed information about the game will be provided shortly. For now, each room’s players, please find the key. After five minutes, poison gas will be released, and players who haven’t exited will be considered forfeited. The game begins.”

“Damn, what’s this?”

As the broadcast ended, everyone resumed moving. A punk girl swore incredulously, scanning everyone before unleashing a torrent of curses.

“What the hell is this broadcast? Are you all in on pranking me? I don’t want to play this stupid game!”

Every infinite flow novel typically had a character eager to court death. The punk girl was undoubtedly the first to do so in this book, her low intelligence impressively shocking.

After hearing the broadcast, everyone hurried to find the key. The punk girl, seeing no one paid attention to her, walked to a nearby girl and grabbed her arm.

“I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear? Are you all deaf?”

“Slap—”

A crisp slap sounded, the punk girl incredulously covered her face, her heavily eyelinered eyes widening at the person who hit her: “You dare hit me?”

Merciful Buddha, stay calm.

Qin Dongwan silently recited, ignoring the punk girl’s high-pitched interference, and continued her search.

Feeling along the wall, the texture suddenly changed from hard to soft. Overjoyed, Qin Dongwan clenched her fist and punched it. With a “bang,” a section of the wall fell, revealing a square black wooden box.

The box had regular dots and lines engraved on it, nothing else, but as an experienced infinite flow novel reader, Qin Dongwan recognized it as Morse code. Tang Zihang, clueless, stood beside her, blocking the punk girl who wanted to see.

“0475.”

Qin Dongwan quickly entered the code, opening the box to reveal the much-desired key. Amidst the astonished and delighted gazes, she grabbed Tang Zihang and quickly exited.

She might be capable, but she was also genuinely scared. She didn’t want to be seen as a leader, as leaders usually died quickly.

Outside the underground warehouse, the hall had an European castle style, with many people inside, all with closed eyes and silent. Qin Dongwan took a step forward, her vision forced into darkness, leaving her senses but her mind awake.

Qin Dongwan took a deep breath: “I have questions.”

“Please be concise.”

She frowned: “What’s this game? And how did I end up here?”

“In simple terms, it’s a real-life game. As for why you were chosen, that’s classified information.”

“That’s all?”

“Yes. Good luck.”

Just as she was about to ask more, her vision cleared, finding herself in a familiar fairy tale village from illustrations.

Qin Dongwan sighed deeply: “Let’s survive first.”

And so began her adventure in the twisted fairy tale world, where she had to outwit, outplay, and survive to save herself and her beloved character, Luo Shu.
