Liu's Shadow of Sorrow

---- She's top of her class

---- But a complete idiot when it comes to tennis

---- And a capable manager to boot

---- She was born in cool Hokkaido

---- But grew up in beautiful Kanagawa

---- And blossomed in bustling Tokyo

---- She has a wonderful big brother at Rikkai

---- A good friend at Seigaku

---- And a dear sister-like friend at Yamabuki

---- She faces danger without fear

---- Because on the road to pursuing her dreams

---- He is there by her side

Please note, this story has four male leads, each of whom shares a different history with the heroine:

Yukimura Seiichi used to be Xiying's boyfriend. Later, the Yukimura fan club deliberately created misunderstandings that led him to break up with her, prompting Xiying to transfer to Seigaku. But the truth is, even after their breakup, they still love each other.

Inui Sadaharu and Xiying were neighbors even before they were born, and grew up together, so you could call them childhood sweethearts. Inui fell for her the first time he saw her, when he was three, and has secretly loved her ever since. Unfortunately, Xiying is so dense she might as well be a genius, and has no idea.

Oshitari Yuushi came to Xiying's rescue during an unfortunate incident. She had been maliciously framed, and everyone thought she was a thief. Somehow, he ended up falling for this especially adorable, airheaded girl.

Kikumaru Eiji is Xiying's classmate, and it was love at first sight for him. As a result, Eiji's girlfriend, Yuko Teshima, the daughter of the Teshima Group, a business partner of the Yanagi Group, grew to hate Xiying. It eventually nearly drove the Yanagi and Teshima Groups into open conflict.

Um... one quick question. I originally wrote this story on a bet, and had only one male lead in mind: Inui Sadaharu. But a few close friends insisted so strongly that it became four. Would you prefer an ending with just him, or multiple endings? I think a lot of people would like multiple endings, so I've been writing with that in mind.

Still, I'm a real democrat. If more people support a single ending, I'll post just one. If multiple-ending fans outnumber them, I'll go with multiple endings.
