1.1%	39	Progress remains low while Tangtang prioritizes her portrait business over missions.
1.2%	41	Recorded after their joint photograph, despite Tangtang mocking Jun and treating him chiefly as a source of money.

Background / History

The system accompanied Tangtang in at least one previous world, where she accumulated roughly 30,000 points. After her latest transmigration, it claims that points cannot carry between worlds and that her balance has reset to zero. Its private thoughts later reveal that it secretly withheld tens of thousands of points and fears her discovering the deception 2 6.

When heavenly lightning interrupts Tangtang’s attempt to advance to the Nascent Soul realm, she awakens as the neglected Ninth Princess. The system initially admits uncertainty about their location, detects another world opening, and transmits linked memories. It subsequently explains that 99% of her spiritual power is sealed, leaving 1% available 1 2.

To push Tangtang toward Jun Yuyuan, the system offers food-related rewards and increasingly lucrative points for interaction. Her fear of Jun repeatedly obstructs its plans; invoking Shen Qingqing’s safety succeeds where warnings about Tangtang’s own death fail 6 9.

Its lottery prizes eventually become central to Tangtang’s palace life. A camera enables her portrait business, while dinosaur pajamas provoke monster rumors that the Empress uses against her. During the resulting accusation, the system provides no emergency draw: Tangtang has exhausted her points, and her request for another loan receives only an insufficient-points message 35 39 43 48 49.

Personality

The system is privately sarcastic, impatient, and deeply frustrated by Tangtang’s determination to avoid work. It repeatedly wonders whether it can replace or discard its host, but usually conceals its insults because she needs coaxing rather than confrontation 2 7 10 22.

Its outward approach is appeasing and opportunistic. It flatters Tangtang’s beauty when she threatens to stop doing missions, offers snacks to overcome her fear, and invokes her mother’s vulnerability to secure cooperation. Its concealed withholding of points also makes Tangtang’s suspicion of being swindled well-founded 6 7 9 13.

Despite its exasperation, it is emotionally invested in mission progress and sometimes reassures Tangtang about unrelated worries. It celebrates the first 1% milestone and comforts her when she fears her portrait business has broken up a friendship 27 39.
