  Author's note: This is a female-lead side story, and everything about the world setting and plot has nothing to do with the main storyline.

  Liao Tingyan felt someone gently calling her name and when she opened her eyes, she saw a gentle and beautiful face.

  Hmmm... who are you, miss?

  "Ah, you're awake. How are you feeling?" The young lady's tone was gentle and soothing, with a reassuring quality to her demeanor that made her seem like a kind person. However, when Liao Tingyan took in the scenery around her, she was still shocked into stunned silence.

  Everything around was a vast expanse of white, with no visible boundaries. In every direction, up and down, all was white. It seemed like an empty vector space. What's going on? Had she crossed over again? She had been the queen, doing well, so how could she have crossed over again? If she had gone missing, Sima Zhaohui would definitely cause many people to die. The palace maids who had stayed up all night guarding her as she slept, and the guards who protected the palace... Liao Tingyan anxiously bit her fingernails.

  "Don't worry for now, there are only a few of us here. Maybe when everyone wakes up, we'll know what's going on." The young lady said again.

  Liao Tingyan only then noticed that there were several more girls around her, either sitting or standing or lying down. One of them was the gentle young lady who had awakened her, wearing a light yellow jacket and horse-face skirt, looking like a married woman.

  A tiny girl sat on a huge mallet, wearing a white cambric skirt and small white boots, holding her head in great anxiety.

  A girl wearing a white nightgown with suspenders and long straight black hair, looking pure yet eerily mysterious.

  A woman wearing Western-style pants with a cold expression and an air of success, constantly fiddling with her phone, her eyebrows furrowed in concentration.

  There was also a girl wearing casual T-shirt, revealing a tattoo on her arm, holding a mobile phone, but she was playing the built-in Snake game.

  The last one was still asleep, lying beside her, wearing a brocade robe and leather boots that resembled the attire of ethnic minorities, with two gemstone-studded daggers hanging from his waist.

  Adding her, there are seven people in total. Liao Tingyan was getting more and more confused, what on earth was going on here, the seven of them were all dressed differently, some modern, some ancient, the only thing they had in common was their gender.

  The missus went back to the little sister who was still lying down and said, "She should be waking up soon too."

  As expected, the last person woke up soon after. The girl who had just woken up was clearly at a loss for what was happening in front of her, but she quickly suppressed that flustered emotion and calmed down, starting to observe the others.

  "Now that everyone's awake, why don't we get to know each other? Maybe we can find a way out of here." The gentle lady's tone was very soft, and the rest of the people in the room looked at her. Although they were dressed differently, it seemed like everyone had a good temper.

  Liao Tingyan looked at the spring shirt that Jingyuan Institute had just made for her this spring and said, "My name is Liao Tingyan. I'm a... uh, empress." Now her profession was indeed an empress.

  The last awakened girl with a dagger looked at her and said: "My name is Yin Ruxu, formerly the princess of the state of Yin, queen of the Wutu tribe. Has this lady ever heard of the state of Yin and the Wutu tribe?"

  Liao Tingyan shook her head: "In this dynasty, the royal surname is Wang, I've never heard of the Yin State and the Wutu tribe."

  The girl who was playing Snake suddenly laughed and said, "How can there be two queens? It sounds so cool. I wonder if there's a princess here too?"

  The white-robed girl sitting on the giant hammer rubbed her nose slightly awkwardly, "Does a dragon tribe princess count? My name is Bai Ling, I used to be human, now I'm a dragon."

  "...... Dragon? Wait a minute, are dragons really existing in this world?"

  The sister in the Western-style pants put down her phone: "This strange place is already strange enough, having dragons isn't strange either. My name is Jiang Yutiao, I'm a company boss." She paused for a moment, "If there's anything different about me, it's probably that I've crossed over once and was a princess."

  The flower-armed girl looked left and right, revealing a solemn and respectful expression. "This... is truly a gathering of dragons and tigers. I apologize for my ignorance, I am Guo Rong, although I have crossed over, I am still an ordinary person, just a gaming otaku."

  The white-robed girl who had been silent all along murmured: "Xin Xiaolu is human."

  Liao Tingyan added: "I also crossed over." Then looked at the gentle miss beside him: "What about this miss?"

  Young lady smiled: "Sorry, forgot to introduce myself, I'm Tang Li, just a kitchen maid, yeah, I also crossed over into another world."

  Yin Ruoxu, with a dagger in hand, seemed to understand and yet not understand: "May I ask you all, what is 'crossing over'?"

  The other six people all looked at her.

  Before they could respond, the empty world in front of them suddenly changed. Yin Ruxu immediately pressed down on the dagger at her waist, Tang Li stood up and looked around, Liao Tingyan instinctively grabbed the sleeve of Miss Tang Li beside her, Hua Zuo Mei Guo Jun and Xi Ku Mei Jiang Yutao both put down their phones, revealing a vigilant expression. The self-proclaimed Little White Dragon, Bai Ling, grabbed the giant hammer beside her and stood in front of everyone, pulling the quietest white-dressed black-haired girl, Xin Xiaolu, behind her.

  Drop

  "Welcome to the strange world"

  A being with a body entirely green, resembling a broccoli, appeared before several people and said in a mechanical voice: "For some reason, you have been summoned from your original world. If you want to return to the world you came from, you must kill the Great Demon King Green Overlord in the castle."

  "Excuse me for speaking bluntly, but this boss's name is really too tacky."

  "Cough, that's not the point, the point is you must go through many checkpoints, defeat the big devil king, to return, you should all want to return, right?"

  Tang Li nodded first: "Indeed, I've promised the kids to make them egg tarts for breakfast, can't go back on my word, hope I can still make it in time for that one meal."

  Liao Tingyan: ……This sister is really something, thinking about making breakfast for the kids at this hour, a true wife and mother.

  "Yes, I also want to return as soon as possible, otherwise terrible things will happen." Liao Tingyan is now worried about the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, as well as the ministers on the court. If Sima Sa Jiao falls ill, she will start killing people indiscriminately!

  Xiao Bai Long's sister became even more serious and solemn, "I also need to hurry back, otherwise the entire world will be destroyed, that idiot at home will eat everything!"

  Others looked at her, not quite understanding what was going on with that silly fool in her house who would eat everything.

  Xī zhuāng kù shuài mèi jiāng yǔ cháo yòu kàn le yǎn zì jǐ de shǒu jī, "wǒ yě yào kuài diǎn huí qù, hǎo bù róng wǒ hé gē gē dōu yǒu jià qī, wǒ yào péi tā qù lǚ yóu."

  English Translation:

  The handsome girl Jiang Yutao looked at her phone again and said, "I also need to hurry back. It's not easy for my brother and me to have a holiday together, I want to accompany him on a trip."

  Wen Jingxin glanced at her and said, "I also want to travel with my brother, can't be late."

  The cool girl with a flower on her arm raised her hand: "I have an activity at 8 o'clock tonight and I must attend."

  Yinru nodded silently, "Mm, let's hurry back." Otherwise, Wu Tu would definitely be worried, and the child would also be worried.

  Green Flower Cabbage nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, so you guys need to work hard now, the challenge is starting! The first level, escape from Zombie City! By the way, before escaping from Zombie City, you must find each person's exclusive pendant and leave with it, otherwise, everyone will be considered a failure!"

  As the cauliflower disappeared, the world in front of them changed suddenly, starting from under their feet and expanding outward. In an instant, it became a vibrant city, with the zombies walking around also looking very lively, as if they had just become zombies not long ago. They appeared directly on the main street, at an intersection, without any buffer zone, about to face the zombies head-on.

  Except for Xiaobailong Baiying and Xinxiaolu, who never had any expression, everyone else's face turned white. Baiying swung her giant hammer to the left and right, sweeping away the surrounding zombies, and due to the great force, the zombies that were knocked flying all became a puddle of mud-like substance.

  A moment of silence, everyone was shocked by this seemingly small and cute violent dragon girl.

  "Bah! Mmp, can't use magic, only physical strength is left!"

  "Hurry up, we can't stay here any longer. We need to find a safe place to settle down first." Jiang Yutao said with slightly rapid breathing.

  "White silk, go that way, there are fewer zombies that way."

  "Alright! I understand!"

  "Little road, stop geese and have as much as you want, follow up, be careful."

  Seven people under the white silk road, successfully got rid of the zombies following behind, entered a slightly quieter street, drilled into a coffee shop, the store was relatively clean and there were no zombies. Several people found their own place to sit down and rest, Yin Ruxu tightly grasped his dagger, puzzled and asked: "Those things you call 'zombies', what kind of monster are they? What is this surrounding scenery? And these, I have never seen before."

  Here is the translation:

  Only Yin Ruoxi was completely unfamiliar with modern life. Hua Zhi Guang sat beside her, explaining: "That thing, it's when a living person gets infected with a virus and becomes an undead person. If you get bitten by them, you'll become one of those things too. You haven't seen these things around before, right? Normally, I'd tell you..."

  After a while, Jiang Yutao looked around at everyone and asked: "Do you believe what that green flower cabbage said?"

  "Whether we believe it or not, it seems like we can only do what he says." Táng Lí said.

  Jiang Yutao furrowed his brow, "But what did that cauliflower mean by 'accessory'?"

  Kuo Bu: "In general, games have guides. Maybe it's just beside us. Let's try asking if there's any other information it can provide?" She finished speaking and started calling out, but the cauliflower had no reaction. "Okay, looks like we can only find the answer ourselves."

  Liao Tingyan leaned against one side and panted: "I think we should look for more places, if it's what we're looking for, we'll definitely have a different reaction when we see it."

  Bai Ling sat beside her, nodded upon hearing this: "Mm, I feel the same way too, it must be something different." She took a look at Liao Tingyan's panting state and patted her back, "Are you that tired? Your physical strength isn't good enough."

  Liao Tingyan waved her hand: "Don't say any more, being an empress is really good, I was raised by the emperor to be lazy like this."

  Tang Li suddenly stood up. Her movement was too sudden, and everyone looked at her.

  She stared straight at another store across the street, a craft shop with large glass display windows showcasing some handicrafts.

  "What's wrong, Táng Lí?"

  "I think I understand what the pendant means now." Táng Lí suddenly smiled, "Bái Xiāo, let's go to that handicraft store across the street."

  Several people followed him, fortunately there were not many zombies on this street, and several people quickly entered the store. Táng Lí rushed to the window, picked up a black long knife from the shelf, then took down a small doll hanging from the knife.

  It was a palm-sized doll with two bean-like eyes, extremely cute, dressed like a cool swordsman.

  "Congratulations to Tang Li, received pendant 'Xun Nu' x1"

  As the voice system prompted, the little doll in Tang Li's hand suddenly moved, slowly standing up in her palm, blinking its black bean eyes and stretching out its hand towards her.

  Tang Li leaned in close to him, and that small doll-like hand rubbed against his cheek, he seemed unable to speak.

  "I'm fine, don't worry." Tang Li's voice was originally gentle, and now it had become even softer, like water. She rubbed her face against the doll in her hand, "Xun Nu is so cute like this."

  "What is this?"

  "Is this also one of those small dolls?"

  She held the doll and introduced it to everyone: "This is my husband, his name is Xun Nu, he's a swordsman." As she spoke, the doll stood quietly in her hand, holding onto her thumb.

  Jiang Yutao, who had always been calm, suddenly clenched his fists, with an excited glint in his eyes. "I also want to find my pendant as soon as possible. If I'm not mistaken, my pendant should be my younger brother Shaoyuan!"

  "Ahahahaha! Sister, your eyes are screaming 'I need to suck on a cute doll ASAP'!"

  Quietly, Xin Xiao Lu suddenly spoke up: "Nai Nai Ge Ge."

  Liao Tingyan covered her face with one hand, "Simar is so spoiled... pffft."

  Yin Ruxuan's face was filled with contemplation: "If that's the case, where would Wu Tuo be?"

  "It seems like everyone knows what kind of doll it is, so now we can think about where each of our dolls might be." Táng Lí held the Shùnú doll and her hand unconsciously stroked the doll's soft belly. "Shùnú is a knife guest, this knife looks just like the one he usually uses, so he must be in this craft store. What special features do each of your dolls have? There must be some connection."
