After Becoming Everyone's Crush, I Get Caught in a Love Triangle Every Day

The Freak Circus fan-made derivative otome novel

You were once a spirit formed from a pair of twin plum trees on Mount Emei. A bolt of purple lightning granted you chaotic spiritual energy, along with a rebellious streak. You cultivated for five hundred years under the Golden Immortal Guang Chengzi, attaining profound mastery, but you could never break one habit: eating people.

Unable to stand by, you slaughtered everyone in that prison, gave the monsters food and dignity, then quietly slipped away on a night when no one was watching.

Hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye. Now you’re an ordinary café worker, hiding amid the bustle of a modern city and living a peaceful, carefree life.

Then one day, on your way to work, a flyer caught in the wind and landed right at your feet.

You looked down and saw an advertisement for a circus.

“The circus is coming to town! You are cordially invited to...”
