A Manga Forum Is Watching My Secret Identity Steal the Show

[Archived 2026.2.27 √] [Most likely coming out next year; I've already started outlining this one! If you like it, please add it to your favorites, sweetie 😘😘😘!] My boyfriend died. I couldn't make sense of it no matter how hard I tried. Just as I was about to investigate the truth and avenge him for love, I got bound to a System. It told me that the world I lived in was a hot-blooded shonen manga, and that my boyfriend was supposed to become the villainous BOSS of this world. The direct cause was his girlfriend's death, and in the end, he would die at the hands of the protagonist. I fell silent. Wait, so I was the one who was supposed to die? System: Your boyfriend's death will make the story go off the rails. You must gain more popularity points to keep this world from completely falling apart. Me: What does that have to do with me? System: Completing missions can bring your boyfriend back to life! I thought about all the years we'd shared, then finally clicked to agree to the bond. [Welcome to So This Is What They Call a Bond System! Host, act out different scenarios of romance, family affection, and friendship, and bring each character's personality, interactions, and tension to the absolute limit! Come on, make the fanfic-loving girls go wild for you!] Romance Twisted, possessive, dark, inhuman man x soft, sunny, cheerful puppy-like sweetheart “Don't cry, don't cry. There, there!” She reached out to wipe his tears, murmuring softly, “How can you still be crying at your age...” She couldn't see the thick, viscous black fog roiling behind her. “I'm... sor-ry...” Like the sharp, twisted, loathsome claws of a savage beast, it radiated an especially icy chill. Yet when it came within a hair's breadth of her, it was careful and greedy, reluctant to leave. It was love that wanted to drown her. It was hideous and terrifying, yet always so careful, afraid she would shatter at its touch. “Control me... I will never... hurt you.” [Ahhh, the bro-and-sweetheart pairing is a time-honored tradition passed down from our ancestors!] Family A stern, arrogant, old-fashioned patriarch of a big brother & his stubborn little bird of a sister, longing for freedom and determined to break out of her cage She clutched her wound. Though blood kept pouring out, she gritted her teeth and stood up. “I'm not going back with you, Brother!” The tips of her hair fanned out like scattered wings, and her eyes were bright and resolute. “I will never let you cage me again!” “So in your eyes... am I your cage?” When the cold-tempered head of the Yun family looked at his younger sister, his confusion was plain to see. Like a giant beast, lost and bewildered after its young had abandoned it. “Was the way I protected and cherished you wrong?” [Oh my god, the brother-sister dynamic is so cute. Please make up, will you? I'll get down on my knees and beg you, sob sob sob.] Friendship A noble, gentle, obsessive holy son vs. a battle-crazed girl tyrant “Don't keep going down the wrong path.” He reached out to her, and a flash of blade-light came slashing toward him. It was a white-bone scythe taller than she was, which she swung like a full moon. “You killed my people. What right do you have to lecture me?” Her killing intent was razor-sharp. “Fine. It's easy to get me to forgive you. Why don't you die once, too?” His former friend smiled at him, sweet and adorable, while her words alone revealed a bone-deep cruelty. He looked at her for a long time, then said softly, “All right.” Then come and cut open my heart. [Ohhh, it's the sworn-enemies pairing! Who shares this sea of hatred and love with you? (starts singing)] In short, the show began, riddled with holes from the start. To keep my real self from exceeding the maximum display range of my secret identities, I rushed around every day playing bit parts, silently passing through one plot after another. Somehow, readers mistook me for the biggest mastermind behind it all. [Don't you think this person looks kind of familiar...?] [Holy crap, why is she in every iconic scene?] [--I get it. She's the big villain. She wants to create a world where everyone has a boyfriend!] ? What are you talking about? Watching the protagonist's team about to rush up to me and deliver their declarations of justice, I sighed wearily. “It's true that I want to bring my boyfriend back to life...” But I never said I wanted to destroy the world, did I? But since things have come this far, maybe I should just finish my boyfriend's job for him? ▲ Reader Advisory ▲ * The heroine is an ordinary person who will grow gradually. * The main text is written in third person. * BG romance. Do not bring up any other sexual orientations in the comments. * An atypical secret-identity story. The secret identities are not based on any existing characters, and their identities are never exposed. * The boyfriend is the one and only, but there will be one-sided crushes on the real self and her female secret identities (? * At its core, this is a product-obsessed author having a craving. The plot makes no sense; I just want to sell lots of pairings. * Lots of forum-style chapters ahead! Shipping warning! * I'll add more if I think of anything else. Theme: A despairing shipper doesn't want to be in despair anymore!
