I Sacrificed Too Much for My Manga’s Spotlight Moments

★ A beautiful-and-tragic story with fake deaths and secret identities, focused on the protagonist. No CP in the main story; the bonus chapters pair her with Jingguang. Please be aware in advance: the supporting characters will also suffer.

★ The heroine is independent and strong. She won’t steal the original characters’ big moments. She’s a cool, confident young woman, not a delicate type.

I have a secret: The world I live in is a comic that readers follow in real time, and I can use its online forum to get spoilers about the future.

The character who wins the year-end popularity vote for the most impressive moment gets one chance to come back to life.

I’ve already died once. If I don’t take first place before the comic ends, I’ll die for good.

I want to live.

But… this is a shonen manga!

2.

Chiyodani Saori has to disguise herself as a boy and infiltrate the manga’s main cast, the police academy group, to force her way into the story.

She has to put life and death out of her mind, become the most ferocious little maniac among the undercover agents, and the kindest beautiful-and-tragic soul at the academy.

But… why doesn’t her cheat have a feature that lets her use multiple secret identities?!

3.

To earn double the spotlight, Chiyodani Saori braves wind and rain, rushes around day and night, and works hard to play two roles at once, turning the tragic story of the beautiful, strong, and doomed siblings up to the max.

In the eyes of the forum readers

The gentle, black-haired young man is the most righteous of heroes, saving every member of the police academy group from their tragic fate all by himself.

“My sister’s greatest wish was to become a police officer. I’ll carry on with her dream.”

“At any cost.”

·

The girl becomes a test subject. As her body grows weaker, she does everything in her power to turn her blade against the organization.

“He has to stay away from this swamp.”

“I’m all that’s needed.”

As the story unfolds…

[AAAAAA! It’s been centuries! I’ve been waiting since the police academy arc for the main story, so why haven’t the Chiyodani siblings managed to meet yet?!]

[Just kill me with angst already, I’m worthless! Why are both siblings doing so terribly? The organization can go to hell!!]

Watching the forum fill with anguished cries as her spotlight steadily grew, Chiyodani Saori smiled with satisfaction.

Then she remembered the colleagues she’d also left devastated with all her angst.

Chiyodani Saori, top-notch actress, perfectly fine: “…”

Wait, let her explain first!

P.S.:

1. The main story has an open-ended true ending. The cross-dressing plot takes up a large proportion of the story, and after the main plot begins, the fake deaths come thick and fast (from Chapter 112 onward).

2. I’ve never written romance before. The main story focuses on family and friendship, and there won’t be any romance while she’s disguised as a boy.

3. The main story explains all the complications arising from her disguising herself as a boy, mainly thanks to her System cheat and her superior covering for her.

4. Hiro doesn’t join the organization; he’s with the Public Security Bureau. He’s the male lead in the bonus chapters, but it’s best to read the main story as no-CP. (Chapter 124 has Jingguang rescuing the protagonist and giving breath to her main body. Please consider this a content warning if you can’t accept it.)

5. Her identity isn’t revealed in the main story, and there’s no public embarrassment. It’s best to read it as a normal secret-identity story. Half of her identity gets revealed in the bonus chapters, but there’s no public embarrassment there either. Otherwise, you can yell at me!

6. Everything except the version on Jinjiang is pirated. If you spot mistakes or have questions, please don’t leave them in the official comments, or the author will yell at you. I’m very scary!

Monsters on the Tip of Your Tongue by Zi Mu Tao, see the author’s page

[Told in third person]

“A monster has possessed my body.”

“Every night, I lose consciousness.”

“The refrigerator at home is stuffed full of strange things, and there are stains on the floor that are impossible to clean.”

“Watching the cases become more frequent on the news, I can’t control my fear.”

“, Who are you?” I wrote on a piece of paper.

Realizing that a monster had taken over my body, I tried every way I could think of to get myself killed, hoping to force it out.

But no matter what I tried, whenever I woke up again, my injuries had vanished, and I couldn’t ignore how full I felt.

“I hate you,” I said coldly.

That night, I received a note from it for the first time. The handwriting was crooked, but I could recognize the strokes as my own.

“I luv you.”

Oh. The monster was illiterate too.

Until one day, after losing too much blood, I woke in the middle of the night.

The familiar room. Blood-red candles scattered everywhere. Everything from before seemed to take on a terrifying, unnatural strangeness in the eerie red glow. In the faint, flickering, ominous light, my hand began to rise against my will.

The knife and fork were sharp, their edges catching a glint of cold light. Some kind of sticky, fish-roe-like food was slowly moving toward my face.

Its rich juices burst in my mouth. My wounds slowly disappeared, and even my strength increased.

It was delicious.

I suddenly realized the monster only wanted to feed me.

…

Here’s the question: what exactly is my food made of?!

In World D620, monsters hide among the human population. They are devious and cunning, full of tricks, and they feed on human souls.

Humans have come up with all sorts of ways to stop them, but nothing has worked.

Then, one day, the monsters began disappearing at an astonishing rate.

Some said it was humanity’s victory. Others suspected an even more terrifying conspiracy.

Everyone was searching for the king who could make the monsters bow down.

This was a world where light and darkness blended until they could no longer be told apart. Some people knelt in prayer, some set themselves ablaze, and some took up blades to meet their deaths…

And Song Linchuan stood among the crowd, looking at the dark shadow staring back at him from the mirror and considering a more practical question:

What should I eat tonight?

…
