When Bai Xun was bored, she downloaded a dating game recommended by a friend.

Then… excuse me, was there such a function?

She was thrown into the game and the only way to return home was to maintain ambiguous relationships with seven different types of men.

So the only way to clear this mission was to gain the hearts of all seven men?

After countless deaths, Bai Xun finally realized that the only way to survive was for her to play an innocent and naive girl in front of the capture targets…

First of all, Thank you to the translator! ❤❤ I loved this story so much! The Drama. The MLs and specially our FL!

Honestly if this wasn't a Game setting novel, with our FL mostly several steps ahead of MLs and having complete control of her emotions, I wouldn't be able to handle it. It would be too much drama and angst for me. So it made me appreciate our FL even more.

She was just Amazing! There were so many times I was yelling "White Lotus b*tch" at my mobile screen with... more>> excitement! Confusing the people around me who didn't know why I was cussing and what White Lotus even meant ??

I liked the ending too. I feel like it was good considering the world she went was never real and neither were the MLs. So the way author gave this a happy ending with MLs yet keeping our FL happy who wanted to go back to the real world was really nice

So 5/5 from me ❤❤

I hope I can find more novels similar to this! ?❤? <<less

If you view this novel as a parody of the all usual cliches present in a mix of Asian dog's blood melodramas aimed at female audiences, it basically becomes the funniest story in the whole wide world. Bai Xiao Xun, our intrepid and cunning minx of a heroine, does an amazing job of exploit her White Lotus purer-than-pure heroine aura in her attempt to capture 7 male leads (and 1 bonus female rival!) who are each patterned after all the familiar hunky male hero stereotypes. And the author has a... more>> hilarious way of exploiting ridiculous cliches (like the suddenly-got-amnesia-after-trauma and constantly-under-assault cliches) throughout the whole series, making it an absolutely scream.

Bai Xiao Xun is an absolutely awesome, genre-savvy, and quick-witted heroine I couldn't help but love... and even though a lot of her male leads were seriously crazy yanderes, it was a never-ending joy to see them get manipulated by her canny hands. Plus, since the series is fully completed at 96 chapters, it doesn't have a chance to wear out its welcome. It has a nice, definite ending to look forward to!

My only quibble is that the very first arc -- the school arc -- is kinda slow and almost lost my interest. Bai Xiao Xun doesn't do much besides act like a fragile wilting flower in that arc, which isn't all that interesting. But if you can just hold on until that arc finishes and she enters the "real world, " things heat up remarkably fast. So keep reading, even if the series has a rather slow start! <<less

This is really one of the best novel I read. Quite different from the other game setting / migration type of plots. You can’t help to sometime feel sorry for the ML but you can’t help to cheer on FL as she steps on ruthlessly to the ML hearts. (Can’t blame her, she died so many times, I just wondered how strong her mentality are to keep herself intact from all those psychological and psychical pain) I laugh and I cried while reading this. You cannot help to sympathise... more>> with all the characters. The writing style also quite fascinating. There is a inner dialogue as well as the character dialogue which confused at 1st but then it’s make sense. The translator is 100% awesome. Thank you so much. I have enjoyed this story immensely. <<less

Bai Xun is such a refreshing character and brings quite some laughs to the whole story. I’m not a big fan of the ending to be honest, but it’s a good short read. Novi has done a great job with the TLs~

Truly don't know how to rate it 😭 Just finished it and it was incredible but completely different from any reverse harem I every saw.

I mean don't expect ... more>>
Spoiler

a polygamy routine, except from the end.

a sweet novel with true romance.

She's cunning, truly smart, crazy... And even though they were some plot holes
Spoiler

like the fact we don't know what happened in her 100 previous games and the fact she never lost her mind or we don't know why she couldn't just be happy in that world with one guy

This story was ridiculous. She finished the book well. Although, the story was quite dramatic, it was one hell of a roller coaster ride. It was very unique since she had a female capture target. It's been fun and now the story has ended.

This is one of the best QT novels I've read. MC is really smart, correctly assesses the situation and makes reasonable choices.

Spoiler

MC will choose to return to the real world with money, instead of acting like other girls and staying with these crazy guys. I love her for that. For the first time I meet an MC who is so reasonable. For me, it was the best ending possible.

I love it! Always have loved a scheming protagonist and she really did work hard until the end, honestly I would have given up before 100 attempts were even reached, I really applaud her.

Spoiler

I also love the fact that she stayed firm and went back to her real world, some MC would be soft hearted but I guess she had failed 999 attempts and I couldn't imagine what she had gone through

All in all, it's a good read, recommended!

i typically like reading about cunning green tea MCs, but the harem was a bit too much for my taste. Too shallow. And not realistic (how is everyone just so attracted to her innocent act? Seems like the protagonist halo). Maybe it's just a personal taste.

I just want to first say that if this novel didn't have the transmigration theme and the protagonist this would've been the most insufferable dog blooded novel I ever read. Thank god that it's not. There are plot twists every 2 seconds, and every annoying cliche you can think of (memory loss, father giving MC 5 mil so she can leave his son, etc.) can be found in this book. It's done very well though, but it will definitely give you a headache.

The MC carried this story. Her white lotus... more>> antics were hilarious, and her side comments about what was going on in the plot was so funny. I just wish her side comments appeared more frequently because it's easy to forget she's not actually the white lotus character she portrays herself as in the beginning arc, but it gets better as the story goes on. She's very smart and I enjoyed watching her execute her plan to capture all the MLs + FL.

By the way, all the MLs are tr*sh, excluding Su Shi (he didn't do anything wrong!). There's a lot of dubious consent in this novel, so content warning for that. It shows how tr*shy the MLs are. The FL lead was ok, but when she got close to the MC during the office arc there was a bit of dubious consent which definitely downgraded my opinion on her. I still enjoyed her character though. Also her arc was REALLY short. She's definitely not the worst of all the MLs, when they

Spoiler

broke her foot and killed her during their first meeting (Pei Yan), ruined her career by framing her (Lu Zhi Yao), got the MC fired from her job and made her homeless (Lu Zhi Yuan), extremely possessive and just used her as a toy (Qin Feng), gave the MC rabies by trapping her in a dog cage and the dog bit her (Feng Chi)

[collapse]

Poor MC. Even though she used all of the romance interests so she could leave to go back to her own world, she died 999 times before this to each of the MLs. I would have no love for them if I experienced the same thing. MC really has a strong mental backbone to not go insane from everything she went through in the book. Then again, she died 999 times before this so I think she isn't very strong in the mental department to begin with.

I feel like the final arc was very rushed though. The last 2 MLs are supposed to be hard to conquer and I felt like they fell in love with her too fast. I also wish Pei Yan got more screentime. Oh well, the novel was a satisfying read anyway. The ending is a real tragedy though, she

Spoiler

after the MC makes it to the real world, all the MLs commit su*cide in the house where she supposedly died in. Every time she dreams, she makes it back to the game world in an alternate reality where she got better and all the MLs + FLs get along. The world only moves when she's asleep, but the game characters still have consciousness when she is awake. It makes me shudder to think about.... Poor MC.

[collapse]

I will definitely reread this again. I definitely recommend reading this as a time waster, I finished it in 2 days. <<less

I remember picking up this novel about a year ago and dropped it because I didn't like the scheming MC... But a day ago I saw it again and had nothing better to read so I picked it up again.

And fml... Why haven't I read this till now?

Sigh... Everything in the story is satisfying... Although the yandere part didn't really satisfy my dark M heart... There wasn't enough deranged dog blood in it for me to be 100% satisfied.

There's also the issue of how MC can easily break off the... more>> relationship with people... I swear the capture targets IQ reduced the higher their love for her was...

Like for some parts I just didn't understand how no one questioned her about her actions... Maybe I'm half asleep when reading this and misunderstood some parts?

Anyways... Still I rather enjoy this... an easy read with no plot twists or saddening drama... Well apart from near the end... That was a lil sad...

Also I got a little confused at the ending...

I feel like it would've been better if
Spoiler

the author had transfered the capture targets into MCs real world with their memories intact and if they want to continue to pursue her they can or they can find new love...

I like reverse harem but thinking that these guys were probably influenced by the system to love the MC...

Sigh x10...

Just think that these guys probably could find someone better.

No I think it's even better if their memories were wiped and someone effing compensate all of them with someone who really cares and loves them...

But at the same time I get that MC lived so many lives and probably loved each one of them at some point...

But in the end she had a motive to approach them and the motive wasn't beneficial to the capture targets in the end...

F##& just give these guys real love!!!

Reminds me of the BL scum gong abuse novels except this female lead essentially plays an innocent white lotus. Interesting twists of the plot and very dog blood. Very unique.

This novel has been a great ride for me, I especially love the female lover addition, Huang something, she is my personal favorite. I was sad to see it finished, but the ending was nothing but satisfying, there may be some mistakes here and there if you happen to see them, but I personally think it was a wonderful novel overall.

Spoiler

The MCs, Approach towards the targets was flawless, she never once expressed any kind of feelings of love towards any of them, she only looked at her mission. The MLs were hopelessly in love with her, but she was immersed in her character no matter what.

Truly deserving of the tragedy tag ;-; I binged through this novel in one sitting, resulting in me crying in bed at 1:00am. However, I do find the ending vv fitting and it was refreshing to read a “true reverse harem” where the MC doesn’t have to emotionally bounce between love interests. Speaking of the MC, she’s smart and cunning; vv level headed and not at all swayed by these yanderes who are trying to whisk her away !

Man, if Xiao Xun was actually the white-lotus character and not the self-proclaimed scheming b*tch, this fun story would've instead been the most tragic, dog-blood drama ever. Let's see; bullied, threatened, betrayed, manipulated, r*ped, beaten, forced to self-harm, terminal illness... Luckily, this was all part of her plan...? lol

There were a few loopholes and some character inconsistencies within the story, but they didn't detract too much from my enjoyment. Regardless, it was fun to see the MC subtly manipulating and delicately balancing her harem, always a step ahead. Her acting... more>> skills seem to be out of this world. A refreshing concept. A slightly unsatisfying ending. Personal favourite is Arc 3. ^ ^ <<less

this novel is a true reverse harem with male yanderes and that one female yandere. I have been finding a novel that's reverse harem WITHOUT the usual smut. Thank you to translator daren for translating this ying ying ying. The MC is amazing. How does she think of all the strategies?? Will reread later when I barely remember the plot lol

I am so captivated by how this novel unravels their plot and each of the ML really has that significant specialty making this novel one of its kind. Idk who this escaped under my radar before but im so glad I found it. And the FL is the real boss here wahahaha the only downside of this novel is that there is not enough extra chapters HAHAHA but yeah!!! The translator did a spectacular job and it is really worth your less than 24 hours of reading time (for me... more>> at least, bc I just cant stop lmao) xD <<less

The story made me feel so many emotions and I never expected for me to like a reverse harem story so much. It has many ups and downs, the first few arcs are more lighthearted but as you near the end of the story it gets really really sad. The ending gave me an eerie vibe and I would’ve loved a more lighthearted end, but nonetheless, I loved the story. 11/10

The whole reading journey was absolutely a roller coaster ride for me! I admit I didn't expect this novel to hit me right in the feels. I love how the narration is so simple yet effective. Our MC is one badass character! Her hardships and schemes tied nicely in the last chapters. The target characters can go to hell for all I care. Honestly, I would like to know how the author's mind worked while writing this because I absolutely despised every character except the MC (ok maybe her friend... more>> is ok too). I normally ship FL with someone, but not a single character deserves her.

Spoiler

She absolutely annihilated their feelings and made them feel hell. I choked when she started spilling the beans about her schemes to them. Too bad the damn system told her she had to ensure their black heart is 0% before she can finally gtfo and go back to her world. It would have been the perfect ending for her to ascend while the rest can choke themselves.

[collapse]

I can't stop applauding this novel, so I'm writing this review using my dear feet. It was such a breath of fresh air! I keep looking forward to the next chapter and see how things unfold. Other authors should take notes because this author applied the cliche plotline uniquely. Although the last 2-3 targets were rushed, the author didn't extend the story unnecessarily either. What can I say? I was too happy that I didn't mind the lukewarm ending. Come to think of it, I also think the ending fits perfectly ok for MC because she rightfully deserves a break, dammit! <<less
