Otome Games Aren't Supposed to Be Like This! I Refuse to Accept It

Qin Zhanxiang wakes up inside a romance game as the wicked female antagonist. The System tells her that the only way to survive is to max out the heroine's affection for her.

Qin Zhanxiang: So I'm the Monkey King after all.

When Xu Hengyu, one of the male leads, is framed and dismissed from his post, Qin Zhanxiang leaves the heroine on a path and says, "Wait here. Whoever you find, bring them back and take good care of them."

The heroine: "Does that include you?"

Qin Zhanxiang gets knocked unconscious by an apple, and the heroine carries one person under each arm. "Saving one is good, but saving two is even better, right?"

Qin Zhanxiang sees Xu Hengyu lying beside her. The man glances over at her with a faint smile. "Fiancee, long time no see."

Qin Zhanxiang: Wait, this is nothing like a romance game! The heroine is supposed to pursue the male lead, not have the male and female leads pursue the female antagonist together. I won't accept this!

The heroine's obsessive admirer and the story's big bad makes his entrance. To snatch Qin Zhanxiang away from Xu Hengyu, he kidnaps her in the middle of the night. When he pulls off her hood, Qin Zhanxiang says, "Come on, man, are you blind? I'm not the heroine!"

A tear glistens in the corner of Xie Zhuo's eye. "If I'd known he was coming, I wouldn't have come. I'm the one who loves you most!"

Qin Zhanxiang: "...Are you crazy?" This is nothing like a romance game. The villain is supposed to be hard to win over. Why are you confessing to me right off the bat? I won't accept this!

When the heroine is cornered by a group of bullies, Qin Zhanxiang rushes to stand in front of her. "If you want to lay a hand on her, you'll have to go through me!"

Then she misses a step and takes a critical hit from the fall.

The heroine scoops her up and takes her to the infirmary. The next day, Qin Zhanxiang hears that the bullies were beaten up in sacks the previous night.

Qin Zhanxiang wears a bitter expression. Wait, how can anyone be more vicious than me, the wicked female antagonist? That's not how a romance game works! I won't accept this!

Finally, after she keeps throwing all the formulas into chaos...

Xu Hengyu: "A fiancee should never leave her fiance's side! Where are you going now?"

The heroine: "It's fine, it's fine. Just tell me what you want to eat, or who you want me to beat up. Isn't that more fun than keeping a pet? Hee hee."

Xie Zhuo: "Big Sister hasn't come to see me in days. Is it because Big Brother won't let you? If it were me, I wouldn't keep such a tight leash on you. It means he doesn't trust you!"

Qin Zhanxiang: "Wait, can someone tell me why the heroine's health bar is glowing too? Who's pursuing whom here? This is nothing like a romance game!"

P.S.:

A practice piece, with little logic. Please don't flame me if it's not your thing.
