Is There Something Wrong with Looking for a Boyfriend in a Horror Game? Novel

Trapped in a horrifying otherworldly realm, Xia Miao receives an impossible task from the system: seduce whoever captures her attention at first sight. Ridiculous. As the esteemed young lady of the Xia family, she's conditioned to being pursued—not doing the pursuing. So she decides to reverse roles entirely.

At Crimson Moon Academy, a bandage-veiled boy transforms campus into a nightmare playground, thriving on the terror he unleashes. Xia Miao approaches him with unshakeable confidence: "You'll do nicely. Consider yourself privileged—I'm granting you the honor of courting me." The boy trembles, his wrappings rustling. "Me? Privileged?"

Within Uncanny University dwells a spectral being, fragmented and haunting, fragmenting across shadows while stalking Xia Miao with obsessive fascination. She confronts it imperiously: "Your form may shift daily, yet I find you worthwhile. You've earned my attention—your persistence in following me is oddly endearing." The creature recoils. "Endearing?"

Lurking in an abandoned hospital, a grotesque entity conceals its mutations beneath withered skin, a glittering jewel hanging from its form as it watches Xia Miao with ravenous hunger. She grabs it decisively. "I've fallen for you at first glance. Begin your courtship immediately!" The monster falters helplessly. "At first glance?!"

The system finally reconnects, dumbfounded. After prolonged silence: "I ordered you to romance a man. What have you actually done?"

Xia Miao: "Did I succeed?"

System: "The word was 'human.' Are any of your lovers even human?!"

Xia Miao: "Huh?"
