Everyone Around Me Is the Protagonist Except Me

As the youngest daughter of the Minister's household, Zhu Mian is fragrant, delicate, soft, and sweet, a cherished darling in everyone's hands. She should have grown up carefree, if not for the nightmares that have plagued her lately.

In her dreams, her graceful and refined eldest sister is the heroine of a body-double romance. A prince of a different surname deceives her in the name of love, and after breaking her heart and body, she dies young.

Her bright and lively second sister is the heroine of a tragic romance. She falls in love at first sight with the new top scholar, but their families are bound by blood feuds. After tormenting each other, they spend the rest of their lives in a monastery.

Even her rakish cousin is the male lead of a story. Oh, right, his is one of those "win back your wife after losing her" plots. By the end, he's so thoroughly put through the wringer even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

Worse, the scenes from her dreams are coming true one by one.

Zhu Mian: !!! She jolts awake from a tearful nightmare. Somehow, she's the one who has to save them.

Today she stops the prince. Tomorrow she secretly trips up the top scholar. And she still has to find time to get close to her cousin's fiancee...

Exhausted, Zhu Mian goes to the lovely young woman next door every day to vent and unwind.

The young woman is beautiful and kind, and always gives excellent advice. If only she could rein in her gaze just a little, just a little, and stop staring at Zhu Mian as if her eyes had taken root on her. QAQ

When her family members' lives finally seem peaceful and settled, Zhu Mian is satisfied and gets ready for a good night's sleep. But that night, she has another dream.

This time, she is the heroine.

The incense sticks have burned halfway down. Red curtains hang low, showing the silhouettes of two people nestled cheek to cheek. Someone leans close to her ear and breathes suggestively: "Mianmian, you're mine..."

Desire rises and falls.

Recognizing the familiar figure, Zhu Mian trembles, her fingers quivering.

Aah!!! Her sweet, soft, lovely young lady next door is actually the male lead in a story about being forcibly claimed! And it's a #@&*... kind of story!
