[For various reasons, this story's outline is complete. Read on or don't, as you like. Still, thank you so much for keeping me company. I hope we meet again someday. The premium version can only be removed after a three-month hiatus. I've switched the story back to ongoing for now. I should be able to remove the premium status after around June, so please wait.] Yunjian Yue plays a full-dive romance otome game. Character background: "You are the neglected legitimate daughter of the Zenin family. Your cursed energy is weak, but you are breathtakingly beautiful. For the good of the family, everyone has decided to arrange a marriage between you and the young master of the Gojo family. Before you go to Tokyo Jujutsu High, your timid father tells you to please the young master, even if it means giving up your dignity." Yunjian Yue: ? Yunjian Yue: What kind of feudal garbage is this? Aren't they afraid someone will report them for trying to turn history backward? Game developers: ...? · The story often goes like this, too: "You are beautiful and delicate, with no strength to defend yourself. The world is full of wolves, all coveting you. To protect yourself, you have no choice but to pick someone strong to defend and cherish you. You look at your classmates. They're all strong and can protect you. Who will you choose?" Yunjian Yue: ...I'm weak? Deeply shaken, Yunjian Yue resolves to learn from her mistakes. She turns around and trains hard in martial arts, cursed techniques, hand-to-hand combat... until she becomes a powerful figure who punches cursed spirits, kicks the jujutsu world into shape, and commands respect far and wide. Yunjian Yue, satisfied: This is a great fighting game! Game developers: ...? Game developers: What do you even think this romance game is?! · “There is only one true heroism in the world: to love life after seeing what it really is.” Romain Rolland · A black-haired, green-eyed girl stands amid a pool of blood, sword in hand. Her exquisitely lovely face is covered in scars. She looks at everyone, her eyes astonishingly bright, her gaze unwavering. “I have always believed that striving for the happiness of all humanity is worth any sacrifice.” [Please note] · This is probably a pretty standard power fantasy, with tons of original worldbuilding and definitely some out-of-character moments. It's a light read, so don't overthink it. Just have fun. · The heroine really won't be dating anyone, but there will be plenty of one-sided crushes, including girls' love. · The game is the game, reality is reality. They don't merge. · Even the jujutsu world must be covered in red flags!! · Most importantly, the author types at fewer than 500 characters an hour. Please be gentle when asking for updates. Mwah!
