That night, Shen Qingyao couldn't sleep again. She struggled to get up from the bed as her mind is becoming a mess.

"It's all Lu Zhao's fault!" Shen Qingyao muttered to herself. It was all his fault for saying such things to her late at night, causing her to dream all night long. In her dreams, Lu Zhao held a knife with a blackening value of 100, chasing her to show her the moon. She didn't want to see it and kept running, exhausting her!

[Host...] Suddenly, the system spoke up, startling Shen Qingyao.

"You're alive again?" Shen Qingyao's voice was muffled as she still held a grudge against the system for not responding to the chaos last night.

"What?" The system was puzzled. It had performed routine maintenance last night, so did it miss a crucial plot point? It didn't seem like anything significant had happened.

Shen Qingyao didn't want to talk about it. Don't ask; asking would just make me angry.

After lingering for a while, Shen Qingyao slowly got up, cleaned up, had breakfast, and then entered the 'salted fish' mode. Thinking about Lu Zhao's extremely unstable blackening value, she couldn't help but feel a headache. Why did his blackening value increase every time she interacted with him?

Annoyed, Shen Qingyao tapped the table with her fingers, trying to figure out the reason.

Suddenly, she sat up straight, as if she had figured something out. She suddenly exclaimed, "I understand! It must be a problem with my persona setting!" She slapped the table, recalling all the details of her interactions with Lu Zhao. The only thing that didn't match was her character setting!

Sensitively insecure and infatuated-what kind of nonsense was that? It's not her fault that she couldn't act it out well! It's just not something an ordinary person can act!

So, she called out to the system, "Can I change my persona setting?"

The system didn't refuse and even seemed happy. The youthful voice lifted with enthusiasm, [Of course, Host! Testing the inclusiveness of various persona settings is what we are here for! Come on! What persona do you want to play?]

As it spoke, several virtual cards appeared in front of Shen Qingyao. They represented all the persona settings she could play, but for now, these cards only showed their backs, hiding their contents.

"What does this mean?" Shen Qingyao raised an eyebrow, not in a hurry to pick up the cards, sensing a hint of conspiracy.

The system chuckled slyly, "You can draw the next character setting yourself, Host! Don't worry, they are all very simple."

Shen Qingyao didn't comment on that. Instead, she extended her hand.

[ Yandere Paranoid Girl ]

"Heh." Shen Qingyao looked at the words and sneered. How is this better than being sensitive and infatuated?

"Is this what you call simple?" Shen Qingyao's voice turned cold as she asked casually.

The system trembled a bit and humbly said, [Host... you don't have to get into character so quickly.]

She already had the flavor of a yandere...

"Heh." Another cold laugh was her response.

A few days passed, and when Cui Qiao entered, Shen Qingyao was holding 'reference book' provided by the system and commenting on them one by one.

"<The Obedient Boyfriend of the Paranoid Miss>. Tsk. <The Yandere Miss Falls for Me>. Heh. <The Reckless Love of the Paranoid System>. My goodness, I didn't expect you to have this taste!" Shen Qingyao couldn't help but express her mixed feelings. The books provided by the system were challenging her limits.
