The Lazy-Fish Legitimate Daughter Is Forced into a Love Triangle (Reborn)

Everyone knows the Jiang family of Xinqiao Alley is small, with few heirs and a thin family line.

The Duke of Jiang raised three little brats with great hardship, yet in the end, I was the only one left on the family tree.

Xie Wangqie was adopted by my father because the emperor felt sorry for him for having no son. But within a few years, all the emperor's sons had killed one another in their own little struggle.

With no other choice, His Majesty picked up the imperial seal again and beckoned my brother over. That ungrateful brat hurriedly ran home and promptly became the Crown Prince of Dayao.

Qin Zhe was the last living descendant of a colleague of my father's who had fallen on hard times. He was sent to us under the pretext of becoming my father's live-in son-in-law.

The little brat usually acted obedient and agreeable, but one day he got the chance to go north on a military campaign and stop living under someone else's roof. He immediately ran off faster than a rabbit.

The Crown Prince rules as regent, and the Marquis wields great power. Little do they know that a silent, surging undercurrent has long been flowing between them.

At the time, I still thought I could simply sit back and watch the drama, while personally tending to those two idiots, bringing them medicine and keeping them warm.

But my father burst through the door in a panic.

"Youyou, Wangqie and Azhe are both waiting in the reception hall to ask for your hand in marriage."

--Reborn for a new life, I deftly avoided marrying into the Eastern Palace, but couldn't escape my fate of marrying into the Marquis's household.

--But Qin Zhe rode over in red robes with a silver spear, his peach-blossom eyes full of starlight, and said that this was my destined match.

-Mini Scene-

Jiang Zhuoxue: What the heck? Doesn't the saying go, "A rabbit doesn't eat the grass around its own burrow"?

Duke of Jiang: Youyou, there's another saying too: "The one by the water gets the moon first."

#What It's Like When the Marquis Calls in Sick, Skips Court, and Goes to the Duke of Jiang's Residence to Propose Three Times, Only to Be Thrown Out by the Crown Prince Each Time He Rushes Back from the Palace#

#The ministers would also never forget how, in the span of a single night, two residences sprang up on either side of the Duke's estate, and the old duke got out of bed grumbling to fix the wall#

*Tips:

1. The male lead is Qin Zhe. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

2. No transmigration, but this is a completely fictional setting. Please don't nitpick the details. [Please note!]

As a Japanese high school girl who considers herself thoroughly ordinary, you've had only two major surprises in your eighteen years of life:

Your father remarried, bringing thirteen "brothers" to live under the same roof as you,

and you somehow got bound to a "Romance War System."

The System earnestly explained that it would simulate all kinds of romantic scenarios for you.

All you had to do was play the heroine and complete the simulations. Not only would you gain experience you lacked because you'd never had any romantic experience in real life, you'd also receive an extra mysterious gift package.

Though you doubted how reliable the System was, you decided to give it a try.

...And that try nearly killed you.

*

When the System notification came in, you'd just completed another romance simulation and were about to open the door and leave your room.

Someone knocked on your bedroom door from the outside.

[Congratulations, Host! Your mysterious gift package x1 has arrived!]

"..."

You looked up at the boy in front of you. He looked exactly like the male lead in the simulation, with long eyebrows that swept toward his temples and bright, starry eyes. He said he was your stepmother's son, which meant he was your "brother."

With a smack, the mug in your hand hit the floor.

--So the mysterious gift package the System mentioned was a chance to meet the male lead from the simulation in real life?

--But no one told you that the male lead from the simulation would be your "brother" in real life!

*Your Romance Simulation Scenarios (ongoing):

Drunk Confessions at First Sight

Party Games, Dares, and Couple Outfits

Secret Crush, Bold Confession, Resisting Temptation

[Day One After Discovering the Truth About the Simulations:

You (anxiously killing zombies in a zombie game): But they're your stepmother's sons! There are thirteen of them! Even if you're actually your father's adopted daughter and the adoption has been dissolved, it's still hard to accept dating them.

[One Month After Discovering the Truth:

You (watching your "brothers," all of whom have raised affection for you, compete for you and feeling nothing but a headache): Stop fighting! If you're going to fight, get out of the house first!

[Day N After Discovering the Truth:

You (calmly watching a row of drop-dead gorgeous guys approach you amid your classmates' screams): Haha, I knew they wouldn't pass up the chance to attend my graduation.

You: Another day of wanting to escape the treacherous battlefield of love (bitter smile).

Who knew all you wanted was to be an ordinary background NPC?
