The main story is complete!
This is an old story I started writing back in 2021. Updates used to be sporadic, and everything I wrote before signing with a platform is free to read. There are 230,000 characters before the paywall, so there's no need to waste time searching for pirated chapters. Chances are you won't be able to find the paid chapters anyway, OTL...
Here's the full blurb. The content warnings are at the end, so please read carefully.
I'm Zhufu Haruko, a 22-year-old woman with no romantic prospects, and lately it seems my luck in love has finally turned around.
Three handsome mixed-race guys with completely different styles have barged into my life one after another, and all of them seem inexplicably interested in me?
There's the gentle, intellectual upperclassman Okiya,
the cool, restrained senior Kurosawa,
or... the dark-skinned, stunningly handsome waiter with the sweetest smile at the cafe?
Help! Who is my destined one?!
BUT
One of these three handsome mixed-race guys is Furuya, the man who sent me my second brother's belongings!
He's the only person who knows the truth about my brother's death. My eldest brother knows who he is but won't tell me, so I'll have to investigate on my own...
According to my second brother, Furuya is mixed-race, an excellent shot, and has a striking hair color, so he must be...
Okiya, the pink-haired guy with a squint?
Kurosawa, the silver-haired man in black?
It can't possibly be that blond, dark-skinned guy at the cafe who smiles at everyone, can it?
After a thorough investigation, I ruled out the dark-skinned guy first. The Furuya in the rumors should be a Public Security officer by now. Why would he be working at a cafe?
But as my investigation deepens, my relationships with these three handsome mixed-race guys start getting complicated... Along with my childhood friend Atobe... and even my eldest brother, Takaaki?!
Help! I just want to have an ordinary romance. Why are there so many love rivals?
What do you mean my second brother, Hiromitsu, is actually still alive?! Is he going to join this increasingly chaotic love polygon too?!
The heroine, Zhufu Haruko, is the adopted daughter of the Zhufu family. She's genuinely, seriously unwell.
The story begins after the train arc, before Toru's Public Security identity is revealed.
The main crossover is between Detective Conan and tennis, with most of the plot focused on Detective Conan.
Other worlds may be added later, but they'll all be slice-of-life series, with no supernatural powers. (Tennis doesn't count as a superpower.)
Everyone listed in the supporting cast is a male love interest.
The main story features multiple love interests and has an open ending. After the main story is done, I'll write an IF route for each guy. Everyone will get a home!
Please read the following content warnings carefully.
This is a silly comedy, so some out-of-character moments are unavoidable. If you dislike pseudo-incest, please steer clear. Both Takaaki and Hiromitsu are among the male love interests. The main story is not one-on-one, and the heroine will have scenes with multiple male leads, including but not limited to dating, engagements, and kisses. If you only ship one character, have strong purity preferences, or hold yourself to very high moral standards, please don't read!
The heroine is genuinely yandere. At the start, she has only recently received Hiromitsu's belongings, and her condition is quite serious, so there's a lot of dark, obsessive thinking, especially about Furuya.
Aka's romantic storyline hasn't been changed and follows the original. At the start, Aka thinks the heroine looks like Akemi, and that's foreshadowing! He's the only person in the entire story who thinks so. The heroine doesn't actually look like Akemi. Saying more would be a spoiler. In short, this isn't a tired body-double trope!
The arcs are divided by plotline, not by the order the male love interests appear, so there may be an arc named after someone in which he barely shows up. (For example, in Act Three, the Black Organization arc, the focus is Kurosawa, but Gin is absent for almost the entire thing, OTL.)
Here's where each male love interest currently stands romantically:
Furuya: They broke up (waiting in line for his groveling arc)
Okiya: Ready to make his move at any moment (interesting)
Gin: Rumored to be involved (Vodka has confirmed he's the one and only sister-in-law)
Atobe: He's made his move (Did the domineering CEO invest in the Black Organization to rewrite the script?)
Takaaki: Officially proposed (seriously)
Hiromitsu: Won the resurrection match! (Act Four is his time to shine)
Latest relationship developments:
Kazami, the overworked wage slave, has stolen Furuya's girlfriend (successfully)
She has reunited with Hiromitsu (Is that you, brother? Reaching out like a drama heroine)
I'll also write about characters outside the supporting-cast list if I get ideas. I'm just that generous, and I'm determined to find a home for every handsome fictional guy!
The Matsuda route is complete.
Planned next: the Kazami route (yes, you read that right, even our officer Kazami is getting his own pure-love IF route).
July 23: I updated the cover. I drew it myself! Praise me (proud face).
August 15: I changed the cover. Toru's blond hair looked a little green before, which didn't seem like a good omen. OTL
I added character cards for the three handsome mixed-race guys. I'll draw the other male leads when I have time!
Upcoming story: The Lady Phantom Thief Steals Nagano Kongming's Heart
She wants to retire!
Kuroba Misa isn't exactly lazy, but the life of a phantom thief really is better suited to young people...
No wonder her big brother faked his death and handed the name Kaito Kid to Kaito, while her sister-in-law retired after getting married and passed the title of Lady Phantom Thief on to her.
Kuroba Misa clutched her lower back, which she'd just strained while escaping, and nearly cried.
She's almost thirty. It's definitely time to retire.
And another thing: why is the cop chasing Kaito Inspector Nakamori, while the one after her is this sharp-eyed Zhufu officer who's clever as a demon?
Isn't Nagano supposed to be the Japanese countryside? Why is its security more intense than America's? She never had this much trouble facing all those FBI agents in America...
She really is getting old.
It's decided. She has to find an heir as soon as possible! The name Lady Phantom Thief can't die out in her hands.
Too bad both her brothers had sons. Her eldest nephew, Shinichi, is a famous high school detective, while her second nephew, Kaito, has already inherited his father's title.
Does that mean she has to start training the third generation?!
Kuroba Misa: Kaito, when are you and Aoko getting married and having a chubby little girl for Auntie to look after?
Kaito: Auntie, I'm still in high school, and I haven't even confessed to her yet...
Kuroba Misa: Shinichi, you and Ran should hurry up and get married. High schoolers can get married in Japan anyway... Huh? Why has my eldest nephew gotten smaller?
Conan: You're mistaken, miss (cutesy voice).
Kuroba Misa: Who are you fooling? I changed so many of your diapers when you were little. I know exactly how many moles you have on your butt.
Ran: Moles? What moles? Now I'm curious.
Conan: Auntie, please. Have a little mercy on your eldest nephew.
Kuroba Misa: Then are you going to say yes or not?
Conan: Auntie, I really do want to marry Ran. High schoolers can get married in Japan, but your eldest nephew is still in elementary school.
Kuroba Misa: Neither of you is any use to me! What am I supposed to do? I can't exactly have a baby myself...
Wait, maybe I can?
Kuroba Misa looked at the Zhufu officer who wouldn't stop chasing her and swore she would make him the father of her child.
The heroine, Kuroba Misa, is Toichi and Yusaku's half-sister.
A silly romantic comedy, with Takaaki as the love interest! After watching M28, I couldn't keep all my love for Takaaki to myself, so I decided to write something to give him a happy ending!
A medium-to-long story with an extended timeline. It starts when the heroine changes Shinichi's diapers, so Takaaki won't have much screen time early on.
Theme: If you're sick, get treatment. Don't hide your illness.
Jingguang can take care of the children in this if [dog head]
Boss, ask if there will be a line from our brother Gao Ming in the future😭
Will there be a clever if later [Let me be healthy]
I only remembered when I saw Haruko saying, Brother Xiu should come and take care of the children too [Goutou] My sister has not taken care of her for so many years, she should make up for it.
I also want to see the scene where Xiao Gan and the others discover that Mrs. Zhu Fu's "substitution" misunderstood Gao Ming [sunglasses] [sunglasses] [sunglasses] It must also be super fun hahaha
Please be sure to fulfill Hiro's dream hahaha
I want to see [Prick-eared Rabbit Head]. Didn't Hiro from the previous if still dream about raising children? Satisfy him quickly [dog head]

The good guy has been listening in the corner. Could he have installed several bugs in Haruko's room?
Our Jingguang is the strongest Bai Yueguang at the beginning of the chapter [smirk] He has achieved positive results.
