The Vampire's Natural Enemy Is Forced to Become Everyone's Favorite

You transmigrate into a world where vampires and humans coexist, becoming the adopted daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy.

In this chaotic world, you're a frail human with no ability to defend yourself, and all you want is to live in peace.

So you give yourself the name He Li Ning Jiu (Gari Ninku), a name whose surname and given name separately sound like the word for "garlic" in English and Japanese.

It's not very pretty, but it's practical enough: garlic repels vampires.

You also cover yourself in silver jewelry and carry garlic, the natural enemy of vampires, everywhere you go. It makes you feel safe.

You felt safe too soon.

You don't know where things went wrong, but even though you're a vampire's natural enemy from head to toe, vampires are irresistibly drawn to you.

From Purebloods to Level E, the moment they encounter you, they approach uncontrollably like cats getting a whiff of catnip.

Kuran Kaname, the highest-ranking Pureblood in the vampire world, is a dignified king who treats everyone with cool indifference.

He doesn't often come near you, but whenever you turn around, you meet his gaze.

"He Li, we've met before," he says with a gentle smile that can't hide his absolute control over everything around him.

A chill runs down your back, and you immediately deny everything three times: No, it wasn't me, you've got the wrong person.

Zero Kiryuu, the only survivor after his family was slaughtered by vampires, hates vampires more than anyone in the world, yet can't escape the cruel fate of becoming one himself.

He comes close, pins you in place, and buries his face against your neck, whispering through suppressed gasps: "Only your scent can calm me down."

You: ...You mean the smell of garlic?

Later, all the vampire nobles in the Night Class start flocking around you.

Aido, the campus heartthrob, passes by you five times a day. Ichijo, known for his refined manners, can't stop himself from crossing the line with you. Ruka, the campus goddess, invites you to afternoon tea every day. Even Rima and Senri, the famous celebrity couple from outside the academy, stick to you and keep feeding you snacks...

Then Yuki Cross, herself the Cross family's adopted daughter and the ultimate big sister fanatic, chases them all away with a stick: "You vampires! If you keep approaching my sister with ulterior motives, I'll dump a lethal dose of garlic into the Night Class cafeteria!"

You: ...Calm down, my dear little sister. They're nearly immune to it by now.

Just when you think this chaotic but relatively peaceful life can go on forever, a legendary Pureblood noble of the same rank as Kuran Kaname transfers into Cross Academy's Night Class: the younger daughter of the Hiou family, Hiou Saku.

As Kuran Kaname's fiancee and the sworn enemy of Zero Kiryuu's family, she stirs up an unstoppable storm at Cross Academy.

But none of this has anything to do with you. You just want to live a quiet, ordinary life and keep your head down.

That is, until Hiou Saku tries to do something unforgivable and hurt the people you cherish.

At last, you step forward, forced to end your life as a human after more than a decade.

"She has no right to make any decisions on behalf of the Hiou family."

You face the "Hiou Saku" before you and tear away your human disguise with your own hands.

"Because I am Hiou Saku."

Your name is Hiou Saku.

From birth, you had the bloodline but none of the abilities of a Pureblood. You were called "the disgrace of the Purebloods," Hiou Saku.

and the one being no vampire should ever provoke.

Warnings:

1. Third-person narration, with an old-school Mary Sue, everyone-is-obsessed-with-her, messy love-triangle vibe.

2. The original plot is changed extensively. You can read this without having seen the original manga or anime.

3. The heroine is genuinely irresistible to vampires, who feel varying degrees of "physical attraction" to her. Vampires of every gender like to cling to her. Not all of this is romantic, and there is no yuri romance.

4. The heroine does have abilities, and they're not weak.

5. The original heroine, Yuki, is quite different here. She's absolutely obsessed with her older sister. Her background and setup remain unchanged, but she and Kuran Kaname share purely sibling affection, while she and Zero (crossed out) compete for Saku's affection. Yuki's personality differs from her portrayal in the original (anime); she has agency and can fight.

6. There are multiple endings.

7. No major characters in romantic relationships in this story are related to one another within three generations, whether by blood, adoption, or name only. There are no violations of public decency or good morals; everyone is free to love.

8. Every character in a romantic relationship is over eighteen, the age of adulthood in human society. As for why the heroine is already eighteen in her first year of high school, Heaven had a hand in it (.)

Theme: A quiet, ordinary life is the best.
