Don't Compete with the Righteous Male Lead for His Junior Sister

[Sunny, boy-crazy senior brother x sickly, gifted junior sister]

Mu Qunyu transmigrates into a wuxia novel set in a chaotic era. Her original body is frail, but she's a martial arts prodigy.

The protagonist, Ning Yue, is the senior brother she's never met: the leader of the righteous path who has wiped out countless demons. He's an unmistakably good person, with irresistible charm, like a bright moon shining over the treacherous Jianghu.

Right now, he's facing a major setback, and his life or death is unknown.

Mu Qunyu decides to go rescue Ning Yue, latch onto the protagonist, and enjoy a life where everything works out without effort.

...First, she needs to ditch the young master from a powerful family who's holding her captive.

After barely scraping through, Mu Qunyu gets her wish and brings Ning Yue back to the Canglan Sect.

As the junior sister who vanished right after joining the sect, and who is also sickly, she isn't well-liked. Talented fellow disciples repeatedly provoke her.

Mu Qunyu knows her limits. She shuts herself away to recover and keeps her head down.

The senior brother's leadership skills kick in. Ning Yue comes to visit and look after her every day, and no one dares bother her anymore. Mu Qunyu has a very comfortable life.

See? There was no problem saving an honorable male protagonist!

On his path to becoming the greatest of the righteous, Ning Yue worries most about his junior sister.

Not because other people say she's frail... He can nurse her back to health little by little. Besides, he enjoys searching for medicine and cooking nourishing meals for her, so there's nothing to worry about.

Nor is she antisocial... She's simply cautious by nature and doesn't speak to people with ulterior motives. She's very good.

The problem is that Ning Yue keeps dreaming that someone will take his junior sister away.

The way those men look at Mu Qunyu makes him uncomfortable. They make her eyes redden, and the woman who usually speaks softly starts shouting at them.

"Get out!"

Ning Yue wakes from his dream and considers taking a knife to everyone who covets her.

Especially those shameless scoundrels who use sweet words and try to drive a wedge between him and his close relationship with his junior sister.

Reader's Guide / Content Warnings

#1v1, both virgins, happy ending. A little bit of fledgling-bird attachment x a saint's private desires.

#The heroine is in a forced-marriage romance, while the hero is in a wuxia novel. They each get the other's script.

#The heroine is somewhat of a universally adored darling. Her initial aloofness is an instinct for self-preservation. Some supporting characters have unrequited feelings for her. There are face-slapping scenes. The hero will quietly give off the vibe of being the primary consort, so please don't read if that bothers you.
