"I'm greedy, I'm jealous, I scheme, and I have a terrible reputation. Even so, you still want to follow me?"
"I will follow you to my death."
* The real blurb: The Villainess and the Hero and Heroine Swear a Blood Oath and Become Sworn Siblings
The Goddess of Light, Su Qian, falls from grace and is reincarnated as the heroine's wicked and stupid cannon-fodder rival, a saintess.
The original girl abused her noble status and made a nuisance of herself every day. In the end, her fiance, who had been cheating on the Saintess of Light, tricked her into being burned alive as a public sacrifice. By sheer coincidence, Su Qian is reincarnated just as her fiance reveals his true colors.
"Think bigger!"
"Burning a witch is nothing special. You need to win me over and redeem me, living and dying by my side. That's how you'll truly earn the goddess's favor."
The beautiful white-haired, blue-eyed girl takes out a statue of the Goddess of Darkness, then kneels without hesitation in a peach grove. She cuts her palm and, right there, becomes sworn brothers with her fiance and the Saintess of Light.
The powerful light of the gods turns the starry night into day, and the statue of the Goddess of Darkness cracks on the spot.

The former Goddess of Darkness wrote in her little notebook: I've liked Her for a long time. She's aloof and stunning, with an imposing presence, but She never once looked down at me in the dirt.
The later Goddess of Darkness wrote in her little notebook: What kind of ridiculous goofball is She, really? Oh no, I'm even more in love. Help, I must be seriously messed up.
[In everyone else's eyes: wicked young lady × loyal, perfect personal maid]
[In reality: goofy goddess who swears brotherhood with everyone × poker-faced rival who loves writing in her little notebook]
Note: The cover art is a character design gifted by Biyushitai. The heroine has a passive debuff: her "sworn brothers either die or end up crippled," commonly known as the doomed-to-be-alone, dangerously carefree fate.
