The Sickly Brother-Con Chooses to Humiliate the Male Lead

Huai Yurou is domineering, arrogant, and pathologically obsessed with her brother.

Anyone who gets close to Huai Yunjin becomes a thorn in her side, and she does everything she can to get rid of them.

Then one day, she binds to a System and learns that she is actually a cannon-fodder female supporting character in a male-oriented revenge novel.

The male lead is her older brother, Huai Yunjin, who has always spoiled and indulged her. He is not her biological brother, but Feng Yunjin, the former dynasty's crown prince who has been lying low in the Huai family.

The Huai family is one of the targets of his revenge.

He loathes his former enemies, including her. For years, he hasn't truly cherished her. He simply despised her so much that he decided to raise her into an arrogant, conceited, useless fool who could accomplish nothing...

*

The System gave Huai Yurou a golden finger that lets her enter a dream and return to the lake.

Any favorability she earns from Feng Yunjin in the dream carries over into reality.

But Huai Yurou didn't do what it expected and try to win the male lead's favor with kindness and warmth.

Seeing the male lead, young and helpless in the dream, imprisoned, mocked, and humiliated by Huai Yurou, the System regretted everything.

Its Host had long since been raised by the male lead's deliberate spoiling into someone who never let a grudge go unanswered!

Male lead's perspective*

Feng Yunjin has been having nightmares lately.

He dreams that Huai Yurou throws her weight around and says all kinds of unspeakable things in his ear!

The recurring dreams strike him as bizarre. Whenever he starts to suspect Huai Yurou, the girl sweetly calls him Brother, and her innocent, spoiled behavior is exactly the same as usual. Again and again, Feng Yunjin puts his doubts aside.

That is, until the Mid-Autumn moon banquet. He takes the drunken, delirious girl back to her room and accidentally finds something that should only exist in his dreams.

Faced with the deliberate humiliation of an enemy's descendant, Feng Yunjin chooses that night to pretend he knows nothing, rather than push her away or kill her.

#Side Story

Huai Yurou: System, why does the male lead in my dreams seem a little strange?

System: What's strange about him?

Huai Yurou: He doesn't fight back anymore, and he won't let me call him Brother.

System: --!?

Reader's Notes:

* They are fake siblings with no blood relation. They only become a couple after both of them know they are not related by blood.

* The male lead's family and the female lead's family really are enemies, but the female lead and her parents have nothing to do with the feud.

* The male lead thinks he is deliberately spoiling her to ruin her, but in truth, he's a covert sister-con who can't bear to see her suffer even the slightest indignity.

* The male lead falls for her first. Before the female lead learns his identity, she always sees him as family.

* Bittersweet romance with a happy ending, one-on-one, both leads have no prior romantic or sexual experience.

Theme: Kindness leaves traces.
