Nice Guys Get No Happy Endings

Synopsis

A simp never gets a happy ending.

But

If I'm sweet enough, they can't hurt me.

As a Celestial Maiden tasked with maintaining peace among the Six Realms, my main duty is to stop them from fighting and choose a ruler to carry on the bloodline.

However,

When I made the first move,

The Immortal Realm's Venerable Emperor Zhanghua ignored me.

The Demon Realm's Demon Lord Yueying glared at me.

The Demon Realm's Demon King Runfeng scoffed and laughed at me.

The Ghost Realm's King of the Underworld Yuan Qian dismissed me with a wave.

The Human Realm's ruler Fu Ze paid lip service and did the opposite.

Fine. A simp really does never get a happy ending.

Luckily, I had a backup plan.

They don't know that among the Six Realms, the one person I never act sweet toward is the Divine Realm's Divine Lord.

It's not that I don't want to. I don't dare.

Because a simp never gets a happy ending.

So I'll make him approach me first.

A little closer, then a little closer... Hey, it worked! (Thumbs up.jpg)

At first, when the Divine Lord Rong Xi learned that the Celestial Maiden would choose a husband from among the rulers of the Six Realms,

Rong Xi chuckled. "I don't care. It definitely won't be me."

Later, the Celestial Maiden reached out to the other five realms, leaving only him out.

Rong Xi wondered, "Why hasn't she come to ask me?"

Later still, even after all five realms had rejected her, she still didn't ask him.

Rong Xi was furious. "What's wrong with me?"

Until one day, he overheard her chatting with someone.

"Well, it's not that there's anything wrong with him. It's just that he always seems so detached from desire. I'm afraid he can't perform..."

Later, Rong Xi gave her a chance to find out for herself whether he could perform.

On the day the Celestial Maiden and the Divine Lord wed, guests from all Six Realms came to offer their congratulations.

They saw the Celestial Maiden's fair skin and lovely face, her graceful figure, and how perfectly she matched the Divine Lord beside her. The praise and congratulations poured in.

Only the other five rulers stared at the couple, grinding their teeth in frustration...

Damn it! I regret it so much! I really do!

If only I'd stopped pretending from the beginning.

Reader's guide:

The worldbuilding is entirely my own. Please don't criticize.

The heroine is disliked by everyone at first, but later becomes everyone's darling.

Basically, it's a story about a bunch of posers who regret it and then fall hard.

(Since "simping" is a vulgar term, I changed it to "being sweet.")
