★★★ Yandere Tea-Acting Heroine [True Yandere + Brother Complex]
[Three Books from Now]
Yue Qirong is the least welcome young cousin in the marquis's household.
Her birth mother died young, she is timid by nature, and frail and delicate. Everything about her seems to offend others' eyes, making her unfit to be seen in public.
For more than a decade, she has lived under someone else's roof, nervously trying to please her legitimate elder sister and behaving with such deference that she would not dare make even the tiniest mistake, all so she could stay with the Yue family and have food to eat.
She once tried to make everyone think more highly of her, but she did not realize that her sheer mediocrity only made people dislike her. It even cost her life.
As she lay dying after her legitimate elder sister used her as a shield against an arrow, she felt resentment for the first time.

When Yue Qirong awoke again, she was bound to something that called itself the System. Only then did she realize that everything that had happened to her in the past had been arranged long ago.
The heroine of the storybook was the very elder sister who had caused her tragic death, while she herself was merely a minor cannon-fodder character mentioned in a few lines.
Being reborn came at a price. The System told her that she could only gain life points by completing the male leads' missions for each stage.
The further she advanced through the missions, the more life points she could earn.
"Hugging," "kissing"...
First conquer the body, then the heart.
And those so-called male leads.
At the very top of the list was her legitimate elder brother, famous throughout the capital and coldly untouchable.

Secret identities (with unmasking showdowns):
1. Her aloof, immortal-like legitimate elder brother (no blood relation):
Yue Zhoucheng had never paid her any attention, until one day he discovered that his usually shy and timid younger half-sister had secretly hidden away his personal clothing after a banquet.
2. The stern, steady young master of an illustrious family:
The younger brother he had doted on since childhood brought home a woman of unknown background.
Xie Yunjue frowned as he watched her cower timidly before him, but what came to mind was the sound of her fragile, delicate sobs and the filthy splashing noises from the room next door last night, again and again.
3. The gentle, calculating crown prince:
When Shen Yuqin fell off a cliff, a man rescued him. To show his gratitude, he arranged a position for the man in the Eastern Palace.
One day, between the artificial hills, he came upon the man with a hand resting on another man's shoulder, held in that tall man's arms.
The man's usually gentle, refined face was flushed with desire. He turned his head, furrowed his elegant brows, and bit his lip to stifle a soft moan.
His collar had fallen open, and a broad palm pressed against his vulnerable shoulder blade...
Shen Yuqin fled in disarray. From that day on, the man who had saved his life appeared in his dreams every night.
He had thought he was attracted to men,
but he never expected that the elegant, handsome man was actually a woman.
4. Her legitimate elder sister's fiancé
In the end, they discovered that the woman their good friend/superior (or subordinate) could never forget was one and the same?
1. There are currently four targets to pursue. The blurb may be revised, but the premise will not change.
2. The legitimate elder brother and heroine are not related by blood.
3. The heroine mainly pursues the targets in stages while using secret identities, all within the same world. There will be unmasking showdowns, and the ending is open-ended.
4. An ancient-era pursuit romance. Please forgive any plot holes.
5. The heroine was originally a nobody, but has a reverse buff. She unconsciously seduces people and has yandere tendencies. She is a true yandere, a yandere, a yandere.
6. The heroine will have sex with each target one-on-one during their respective stages, and there will also be one-sided-love showdowns. Readers who care about conventional values or traditional feminine virtues, beware!
