In the bustling streets of Washington, D.C., car horns blared without interruption as people came and went. At the city's centre stood Washington MedStar Georgetown Hospital Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, the most famous and authoritative hospital in the United States.

"Beep beep beep ——" Suddenly, a sharp and urgent mechanical beep broke the quiet, empty hospital ward.

Following the sound, a man's impatient and irritable voice called out for the nurse and the doctor to come quickly. "Softie is in trouble! If she dies, I want all of you to be buried with her!" His tone was cold and high-handed, shattering the peaceful atmosphere. However, the fatigue and despair in his voice hinted at the heartache he felt.

Two nurses quickly walked over after hearing the commotion outside the hallway. When the door was pushed open, one of the nurses raised her head and glanced at the door number: Room 339.

It was the hospital room where Miss Bai Ruan Ruan (白软软), the lover of Nan Gong Jue Ao (南宫桀骜), the CEO of the Nangong Group, was staying.

A month ago, Miss Bai donated her kidney and cornea to Nan Gong Jue Ao's ex-wife, Miss Lin of the infamous Lin Group, on the third day after her abortion. A month later, the Lin Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Miss Lin committed suicide by jumping off a building a few days ago.

The high-profile dispute between the two prominent families was lamentable. The love and death drama in Room 339 made countless young nurses sigh secretly. Who could have thought Bai Ruan Ruan, who had finally seen the light after enduring so much hardship, would be diagnosed with incurable leukaemia?

Thinking of this, the young nurse sighed and quickly walked in, rushing to the bedside.

Nan Gong Jue Ao's beloved Bai Ruan Ruan was lying on the hospital bed. She had a small and delicate face, round and black eyes, pale skin, and a slender and weak body, looking all frail and helpless and arousing sympathy. Due to the loss of her eye corners, her once-beautiful eyes were now lifeless, and her lips had lost their natural colour. Her once-luxuriant hair was now tangled and scattered on the pillow. Her entire body emitted a strong, sickly odour.

The young nurse's heart skipped a beat at the sight of her. She knew Bai Ruan Ruan was beyond cure and on the brink of death.

"Softie, hold on. Think about our future together. We can still have children, and I will marry you!" A handsome but dishevelled man tightly held the girl's hand, continuously begging, "This is the best hospital in the world. They will save you. You will survive!"

The ruthless CEO, a formidable force outside, now appeared like a wounded beast, powerless and crying mournfully.

"It's no use, Jueao... I knew this day would come long ago..."

Bai Ruan Ruan coughed painfully twice and weakly reached out a hand to touch Nan Gong Jue Ao's face. A tear rolled down the corner of her eye, and her lifeless pupils displayed a heart-wrenching sadness. "Nan Gong Jue Ao, I'm sorry. I love you..." As she begged forgiveness, she could no longer stay by his side.

"Softie——!"

【Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully cleared the B-level difficulty world 《The CEO's Thirty-Nine-Day Quest for Love》. Your White Lotus Flower rating is A. You completed five random tasks and earned a total of 3,000 points. The settlement will be made after leaving the world!】

【Would you like to leave this world immediately?】

"Yes."

Amidst the man's heart-wrenching roar, Bai Ruan Ruan contentedly closed her eyes and pressed the death button.

【Pleasant cooperation, Host. Looking forward to our next meeting.】

With the mechanical sound of the system, her soul was taken away from this world and returned to the real world.

It turned out that Bai Ruan Ruan was not a native character of that world but an ordinary person from the 21st century who was bound to the 【White Lotus System.】 Her real name was Ruan Bai (阮白), and Bai Ruan Ruan was a false name given to her by the system.

After an accident, Ruan Bai found herself bound to the White Lotus System. Her task was to play the role of a white lotus in various worlds and complete different scenarios. At the same time, the system evaluated her performance and awarded points based on her acting skills. The higher her score, the more points she could earn. In addition to using points to redeem items from the system store, each point could also be exchanged for 100 Chinese yuan in real life.

Ruan Bai was very poor, losing her parents at a young age and relying solely on the system for her livelihood. Her grandparents' health was deteriorating, and she needed money to care for them. The White Lotus System was now her only source of money.

After completing four performances with high levels of acting, she received an unprecedented A-level evaluation. However, she did not show much excitement when she looked at the points in her hand.

"3000 points, minus 1000 needed to buy props in the next world, the rest can only be exchanged for 200,000... it seems like it's still not enough," Ruan Bai calculated. After paying off the debt she owed earlier, she only had a few tens of thousands left. Her grandmother recently fell seriously ill, and they had to buy back the old house they had sold. This little money was not enough.

Looking at the balance in her hand, Ruan Bai couldn't wait to conquer the new world plot again. If she remembered correctly, after clearing a world, if her performance rating could reach S-level, the system would reward her 10,000 points, which would be one million yuan when exchanged. Even if it was only A-level, 200,000 yuan would be enough for her to spend until graduation.

【Recently, it seems there are no world suitable for you to go to...】 The voice of the White Lotus System hesitated, seeming to be selecting an appropriate location: 【 Host, do you have any requirements for the world? For example, one that does not consume too much physical energy or is not too dangerous.】

"No, any world is fine," Ruan Bai replied confidently. "System, please choose for me."

Although she looked thin and small, she was pretty strong and could carry three water buckets without any issue. At first, those scenarios had scared her, but she had since overcome her fear and entrusted herself to the system.

Ruan Bai had experienced even the most bizarre plot: being eight months pregnant, drawing eight hundred millilitres of blood, and immediately having to switch hearts for the CEO's lover after a miscarriage.

At first, she would tremble with fear and cry, thinking that she would probably die in this other world. She even wrote a farewell letter to her grandparents. She entrusted it to the system, making it swear to deliver it to them. But after spending so much time in these worlds, Ruan Bai has begun to doubt the natural structure of the human body.

【Doesn't require much physical strength and isn't too dangerous... Ah, here we go! There happens to be a world missing a host!】 the system announced. A few seconds later, the system made a cheerful notification sound.

【The B-level difficulty world 《Survive the Mermaid Village》 has been located. Will the Host proceed immediately?】

"--Yes!" Ruan Bai replied without hesitation.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, doubts filled her mind. The name 《Survive the Mermaid Village》 was strange... But before she could express anything, the system's notifications came one after another:

【Ding! The Host has confirmed without error. After scanning and testing, host Ruan Bai has opened the fifth world.】

【Data import has begun... Import complete.】

【This world is relatively dangerous. We will not be responsible for any deaths. Please be careful, Host.】

【The mission world is starting - five, four, three, two, one!】
