[Crossover] A Girl Must Be Strong

The complete manuscript is finished! Please add my Guoguang finale, You Are My Guiding Light, to your reading list! My new completed manuscript has a new theme and a new male lead: Chuuya, Will You Marry Into My Family? Please add it to your reading list! Blurb at the bottom Age three She hugged her mother as she repeated the words to the father who wanted her dead. Her voice was gentle, but her words were firm: "Mom, divorce him. We'll be better off. I'll protect you." Age six She walked outside and smiled at her mother, who could no longer leave the house because of social anxiety. Her smile was as bright as sunshine, and her voice was playful and sweet: "It's okay, Mom. I won't let this defeat me. We'll make it through." Back then, she earned 100,000 yen a month. Age fifteen She looked at the man holding her mother's hand. Her words were cold enough to cut through snow and ice. Though he was an adult, he still felt a chill run down his back: "You can marry Mom, but if you ever make her suffer, I'll send you to hell first." Back then, she earned 500,000 yen a month. Age sixteen Standing outside the Palace of Versailles in France, she looked at the boy in front of her. Her expression was apologetic, but her tone left no room for argument: "If I win this tournament, I'll study and intern in France. I hope you'll wait for me." Ten years later, at a reunion - Prosecutor Tezuka, your life these past few years has been an exemplary success story. Is there anything you regret? - Yes. - What is it? - My monthly income is only equal to what my wife earned ten years ago. - (Everyone is stunned) And how much does she make now? - Her guaranteed income is twenty times my own. I don't even make a fraction of her monthly income. (He can barely manage a strained smile.) Warnings for this story: 1. The heroine's mother is a complete pushover, overly soft-hearted, and a highly skilled professional Mary Sue. 2. The heroine is fierce!! She's an irreverent type who swears and fights. 3. There are alternate-universe elements. The heroine's mother marries Atobe's father, but the heroine herself has little to do with the Atobe family. 4. The story contains some immature feminist ideas. 5. The male lead may be OOC. The author is having fun and doesn't want to fix it. 6. The heroine is a player, and her career comes first. The career plot will always take precedence over the romance. She can put love on hold for her career. If her mother and boyfriend fell into the water, she'd save her mother first. Please be aware. ==New story blurb== [Read the warnings before opening the story!] This is the final installment in my Kunimitsu fanfiction series. The next story will be from a different series and have a different male lead. A cute little girl moves in next door to the future pillar of Seigaku. Then an accident takes both her parents from her. "Kunimitsu, her parents are gone. You need to take good care of her." He is only two years older than her, but still decides to take responsibility. He'll be her guide, holding her hand and teaching her in place of her parents as they grow up together. The girl is sweet and adorable, and what makes him happiest is that she takes his advice and starts playing tennis. She studies the sport diligently and listens well. Her talent is no less than his own. He believes that one day she'll share his goal of reaching the national tournament... He thought too much of her. He doesn't even know why, but after he trained her, the girl turned into a lazy fish who won't move unless pushed and has no desire to win. Is there something wrong with the way he teaches her? The girl likes him and clings to him. She wants kisses and hugs every day and wants to be with him every moment. "Kunimitsu, will you stay by my side forever?" "I will." But time passes, and when he wants to pursue his dream, he finds he can only choose one thing: stay by her side or go after his dream. He decides to leave so he can give her a secure future. The girl looks at him, no longer gentle and obedient as she used to be. "I hope you don't regret making this decision." He's only leaving for a little while. Once he achieves his dream, he'll come back. He steels himself and leaves. But he never expected the girl to change completely as soon as he set foot outside the country. The road to achieving his dream is rough. Just as he's about to take a dead-end path in pursuit of it, the girl appears before him. Before he can react, she rises even higher than he has, and with unquestionable force, leads him away. "I'll make your dream come true my way. This time, I'll be your guide." Author's warnings: 1. This story was born from my frustration with the plot of NPOT. The story diverges starting in middle-school year one! Fuji won't become seriously ill! The male lead won't get hurt! If you're devoted to the original, especially the NPOT plot, run! 2. Everyone is a villain, including the two members of the German team and the sponsors. Niou is the only decent person in this story. Yamato won't get a single break. He'll have no good days, and he'll be disgraced. Yamato fans, run! Casual fans, run too! Anyone who worries he'll get a raw deal, run! 3. The heroine is exceptional at tennis. She runs faster than the male lead. 4. This is the last story I'll write with Kunimitsu as the male lead. The next one will be something else. All my love for him over the years was used up by XF's one NPOT. 5. As always, this is a story about the heroine's growth. She's strong, and all her gentleness is a fake mask she wears for the male lead. 6. (Important!!) The entire manuscript is complete!! The story will be finished!! The estimated length is 550,000 words! Feel free to jump in if you like it! The author may be unreliable, but the manuscript queue is reliable! Coming soon: Chuuya, Will You Marry Into My Family? Manuscript in progress! As of 2021.8.28, 350,000 words are complete. #This is the author's first attempt at a new genre. If you don't like it or aren't used to it, pack your bags and run. The author can even help you pack. Before the hat guy had a hat, he found a pretty girl who looked like a doll near the rainy streets of Suribachi Town. She was beautiful and kind, and while being chased and running for her life, she accidentally stepped on him. Then she made it up to him with a delicious pizza. So he helped beat up the bad guys and took her in. But the adorable, harmless, homeless girl in ragged clothes who looked so pitiful.jpg was actually a ruthless money-making machine who terrified him. Life was cheap in Suribachi Town, but when he was badly injured, she spent every last penny she had to snatch him from the jaws of death. "When the money runs out, I'll earn more. But I only have one you. No matter how much it costs, I'll keep you alive, because you're worth it." The day the girl was adopted, as good people are rewarded, she handed him all her savings, a million yen. "Some things can be taken care of with money when they happen, but once the chance is gone, no amount of money can bring them back. So I'm leaving this money with you. If you ever need it, spend it." Years later, he has become a core member of the organization. Then he sees her, overcome by a sudden family crisis and ready to give up on life. He pulls out all the stops and saves her. "Your parents are gone, but I'll give you a new family. Do you want one?" "I do." And so they get together. But years later, when the girl's true background finally comes to light, he retreats once again, deciding to let her go for her future. He lives in darkness, while she belongs in the light. If he keeps her by his side for his own selfish reasons, her talent will remain buried forever. He can't do that. The girl angrily tosses him a "Just you wait," signs the divorce papers, and storms off. But years later, when the girl has grown into a woman worth billions and returns to Yokohama, she sits in the Mafia boss's luxurious office. Her voice is gentle, but no one can question her. "Please honor the promise you made back then, Mr. Mori." She stands and walks over to him. "Chuuya, will you marry into my family? I've prepared the bride price." Alternate titles: Black and White, Light and Darkness Warnings and things to note before reading: 1. The timeline is chaotic throughout. I didn't get it in order while writing, and the outline is already set, so changing it would be difficult. Just enjoy the plot for what it is. There are private settings everywhere, so consider this an advance warning that everyone will be OOC (...) 2. The heroine is a kind, saintly little angel who believes the value of life is greater than anything. She won't repay blood debts with blood, but she's very good at making life difficult for her enemies (...). Her verbal sparring skill tree is maxed out, and she's always ready to compete with China's national treasure for bamboo shoots. 3. Her initial skills include multiple languages and excellent taste. She's highly intelligent, highly educated, highly alert to danger, impeccably raised, and a ruthless money-making machine. She's physically weak and can be made to vanish in an instant by the male lead's anger. 4. (Important!) The male lead is written as a real Mafia member. He has bad habits and isn't very well educated. The hat guy will be made to quit smoking. The heroine is so outstanding that the male lead feels inferior. There will be misunderstandings, melodrama, and a groveling pursuit of the wife. There is no romance before marriage. The story jumps straight to married life with no restraint >/// Theme: Girls should stand strong.
