Chapitre 1: Prologue
Ding dong!
A unique ringtone emanated from the cell phone resting on the desk, currently charging.
Lin Qianshuang sat before the computer, having just sent her newly completed design plan to her team leader.
As she took a moment to slack off, a special notification from Weibo appeared on her screen, indicating that a novel had been updated on Jinjiang.
Lin Qianshuang glanced at the website, which hadn't seen an update in quite some time.
Excitement coursed through her veins; after all, she had been an avid reader for six years.
After work, she often immersed herself in novels on her phone, reading at an astonishingly rapid pace.
She could devour a 600,000-word novel in just three hours.
Lately, she had delved into the horror genre, expanding her horizons beyond her usual urban fiction preference.
Jinjiang's novels were renowned for their quality, often housing hidden gems.
Lin Qianshuang frequently stumbled upon exceptional stories there.
With an hour to kill while waiting for her team leader's reply, she couldn't resist opening Jinjiang on her Weibo.
The novel in question was a "Lily Xianxia" titled "Conquest of the Four Realms."
The description in the announcement was brimming with enthusiasm, promising a gripping tale of a cultivation waste's journey to divinity alongside a powerful female lead.
Lin Qianshuang's lips curled into a faint smile.
The description seemed overly zealous, but the premise intrigued her.
A devotee of novels, she was eager to dive in.
The protagonist's remarkable ascension from a lackluster existence held an undeniable allure.
Yet, just as she was about to delve into the story, Lin Qianshuang discovered that the provided link from Jinjiang was broken.
Shortly after, the announcement itself was removed.
However, her newfound interest in the novel couldn't be so easily extinguished.
Determined, she conducted a search for the novel's title on Baidu.
To her delight, she located the full novel on another literary website she had yet to encounter.
After procuring and downloading the complete novel, Lin Qianshuang couldn't wait to immerse herself in the story.
The enchanting and grandiose realm of cultivation—the very setting she adored—awaited her.
A distinctive plot, intriguing and captivating.
A diverse array of intelligent and complex female characters, each possessing a unique personality.
Amidst her reading, Lin Qianshuang stumbled upon a section involving Xiao Lanle (Yue), her favored little sister of the Immortal Sect, subjected to lecherous gazes and intrusive thoughts written in first-person perspective.
An uncomfortable sensation washed over Lin Qianshuang as her enthusiasm waned, replaced by an indescribable expression.
She had unwittingly embarked on a journey through a stallion novel, replete with explicit sexual fantasies and conveyed in the first person.
No wonder the intelligent female characters transformed into helpless damsels, their intelligence and agency vanishing upon encountering the male lead's advances.
"Good cabbage has been arched by pigs!" she muttered, lamenting the degradation of capable women.
Nonetheless, having invested in the novel, she forged onward, enduring the additional chapters.
The resilient female characters ultimately met their demise, all for the male lead's ascent to godhood.
Lin Qianshuang's dissatisfaction grew, exacerbated by the realization that she had spent her hard-earned money on this disappointing narrative.
Frustration and irritation spurred her to leave a negative review on the novel's page, voicing her disapproval for the mistreatment of her cherished female characters.
Her critique spanned a lengthy 300 words.
In an unexpected turn, the author responded to her review with an unusually rapid reply.
Author: Would you save them if given the chance?
Lin Qianshuang blinked in surprise.
The author's swift response diverged from his typical interactions, hinting at something more.
Before she could formulate a reply, another message appeared from the author.
Author: Welcome to the [Harem Rescue Project].
Provide rescue strategies for the female characters in your review to return.
The System will teleport you to your destination in 20 seconds.
Lin Qianshuang's team leader simultaneously contacted her through her **penguin icon on QQ, initiating a countdown timer of 20 seconds.
She promptly exited the novel's interface and accessed her messenger app.
(**T/N: The penguin icon represents QQ, an instant messaging platform.)
Did her team leader want her in his office within 20 seconds?
As she considered the possibility, a sense of urgency crept in.
She hastened to her team leader's office, a series of events unfolding rapidly.
Upon grasping the office handle and twisting it, a strange sensation enveloped her senses.
A prompt resonated in her mind.
"The information was successfully implanted.
Welcome, Lin Qianshuang, chosen candidate for 'Conquest of the Four Realms.'
Have a pleasant journey."
Confusion washed over Lin Qianshuang.
Her mind raced, unsure whether the stallion novel had sent her into a state of auditory hallucination.
As the office door swung open at her touch, darkness consumed her vision before briefly dissipating.
Before her stood a boundless expanse of cerulean sky.
Fluffy clouds drifted through the pristine blue canvas, untainted by any hint of pollution.
Light filtered through the clouds, illuminating lush trees and birds in flight.
A pervasive scent of blood mingled with the crisp air, intensifying the surreal atmosphere.
The earth quaked beneath the weight of a beast's roar.
Lin Qianshuang found herself sprawled on the ground, her ears registering a faint rustling.
A palpable, suffocating pressure seemed to restrain her, rendering her immobile.
Approaching footsteps reverberated, resonating like boulders crashing to the ground.
Soreness enveloped Lin Qianshuang's limbs, her body marred with bloody wounds.
The dress adorning her was reduced to tatters.
When had she changed attire? This was far from the business outfit she had worn earlier.
As she sat up and surveyed her surroundings, the unsettling scene unfolded—a wasteland strewn with lifeless bodies, ablaze with the remnants of destruction.
It appeared she stood within a village ravaged by a tragic catastrophe.
Thump... Thump... Thump...
The resounding thuds of a colossal beast's approach grew louder and more ominous.
Lin Qianshuang's apprehension deepened, and her gaze turned towards the source.
A massive, scale-covered creature emerged, its gray form exuding an eerie aura.
Sticky fluid oozed from its elongated fangs.
The stunning sight of the
spectacular monster, reminiscent of Hollywood's best CGI, captivated Lin Qianshuang's attention.
She felt a mix of awe and terror at the sight of the majestic creature that stood just a hundred meters away, poised to strike.
A voice from her memories echoed in her mind, triggering recognition.
"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."
The conversation resurfaced, and Lin Qianshuang's eyes widened as she witnessed the scene unfold before her—Venerable figures suspended on flying swords, a kneeling young man named Liang Jingxuan, and a heartrending plea for assistance.
Liang Jingxuan, the male protagonist of "Conquest of the Four Realms," bore a tormented expression, his eyes red with tears.
Intriguingly, the scene mirrored the novel's beginning.
Liang Jingxuan, a modern-day man, had transitioned into a cultivation world, becoming a disciple of Penglai Immortal Sect.
Initially inept, his latent talent caught the attention of a mentor from the Tianshu sect.
Amidst his journey, he encountered a kind-hearted senior sister who bore a striking resemblance to his high school crush.
However, tragedy struck as a demonic beast, Cang Lan, ravaged their village, leaving death and destruction in its wake.
Despite their efforts to quell the threat, Liang Jingxuan's senior sister remained trapped in a deadly formation, eventually meeting her demise.
Liang Jingxuan's heartache and regret formed a poignant backdrop to his character's development.
Lin Qianshuang observed, bemused, as Liang Jingxuan's gaze inexplicably shifted to her.
In this altered reality, had he beseeched for her aid instead of his beloved senior sister's?
Unsettled, Lin Qianshuang contemplated the unexpected twist.
To her chagrin, she realized she had become the ill-fated white moonlight, a tragic character who met an untimely end in the novel's opening.
She pondered the bizarre turn of events, grappling with her newfound role and the consequences it entailed.
Darkness encroached once more, blinding her momentarily before revealing a lush, boundless landscape.
Azure skies extended overhead, a tranquil and serene sight.
Fragrant blooms wafted on a gentle breeze, and the sound of trickling water harmonized with the chorus of birds.
Lin Qianshuang found herself in a meadow of unparalleled beauty, far removed from the chaos she had previously witnessed.
The abrupt transition left her head spinning, struggling to comprehend the circumstances that had transported her.
A figure approached, a serene and dignified presence that exuded an otherworldly aura.
"You have arrived," the figure spoke, their voice soothing yet tinged with an air of enigma.
Lin Qianshuang's confusion mounted, her thoughts a whirlwind of uncertainty.
"Where am I? What's happening?" she stammered.
"You have become part of a greater narrative, a tale interwoven with realms and destinies," the figure replied cryptically.
"I don't understand. Why am I here?" Lin Qianshuang's voice trembled with a mix of fear and bewilderment.
"The Harem Rescue Project awaits you," the figure announced, their words laden with gravity.
Lin Qianshuang's heart raced as she grappled with the implications of those words.
"You possess the power to alter the course of characters' fates, to reshape their destinies."
Lin Qianshuang's mind reeled, struggling to grasp the concept presented before her.
"Characters' fates? Reshape destinies?" she echoed, her voice tinged with incredulity.
"Yes. You have been chosen to navigate the intricacies of fictional realms, to influence the lives of those ensnared within their narratives."
As understanding slowly dawned, Lin Qianshuang's astonishment transformed into a newfound resolve.
"You mean... I can change their stories? Save them from their tragic fates?"
The figure nodded, their presence radiating reassurance.
"Your compassion and insight hold the key to rewriting their tales."
Lin Qianshuang's mind raced, grappling with the enormity of the task before her.
"You hold the power to rescue characters from their predetermined paths, to guide them towards different outcomes."
Lin Qianshuang's hesitation dissolved, replaced by a sense of purpose.
"I'll do it. I'll take on the Harem Rescue Project. I'll save them."
The figure smiled, their eyes shimmering with approval.
"Very well, Lin Qianshuang. Your journey has just begun."
With those words, a surge of energy enveloped Lin Qianshuang, propelling her into a world where stories and destinies converged.
