Otome Love Triangle from Hell: The Shut-In Everyone Loves

[Ordinary girl, beloved by all | Male leads are virgins | Campus romance | Otome | Rivalry-fueled romantic battlefield]

-

"So what if I'm a homebody! I really want a romance like a home invasion!"

Xia Xiaoxing blows out her birthday candles with a huff.

That very night, her wish comes true: she's bound to a romance System that randomly picks a lucky male guest every night for a date in her dreams.

In her dreams,

The famous, gentle campus heartthrob is her lovesick boyfriend;

The aloof beauty she had a crush on in high school becomes her ex, whom she dumped;

The campus playboy is her bitterly unrequited, nominally good friend...

Back in reality, the invisible Xia Xiaoxing gradually notices that the male guests, who have no connection to her, are looking at her differently...

The dreams are getting more and more outrageous, too!

[One] √

She's an honest woman with lots of male friends, introducing her new boyfriend to the group.

Three male friends flirt and act intimate with her in front of her boyfriend, then get handsy with her behind his back.

"That's too much, Xiaoxing. You're choosing your boyfriend over your friends... How are you going to make it up to us?"

[Two]

She's a timid woman secretly dating her friend's younger brother, hiding their secret May-December romance while her jealous exes watch her like hawks.

"? When you dumped me, you said you wouldn't date a younger guy. I'm only two months younger than you! He's a whole four years younger than you!!"

[Three]

She's a lonely woman stuck in a painful long-distance relationship, receiving thoughtful care from an older fellow student in her department, who sees her as his soulmate.

"On the third anniversary of your relationship, she was thinking about whether I, alone in the dark art studio, might be cold. ^^"

[Four]

She's a flirt who can't bring herself to hurt a man, playing detective on Valentine's Day to figure out which man she's secretly cheating with.

"Being your buddy's side piece and getting caught is shameful; being someone else's side piece is pathetic; being your own side piece is a tragic love story."

Xia Xiaoxing breaks down: ...This is going to drive this shut-in crazy! What kind of shameless dream scenarios are these?!

Content warnings:

1. This is self-indulgent writing. No unsolicited writing advice.

2. The heroine grows over the course of the story. The main plot follows her personal growth, interspersed with dramatic romantic rivalries.

3. The heroine's two-timing in the blurb is only part of the System's dream scenarios, not a deliberate moral failing. She actively works to solve problems in every dream and promotes positive values!

(Of course, I fully support the heroine and love these transgressive romantic rivalries, with the male guests fighting over each other while the heroine only makes the same mistakes every woman would. Readers with high moral standards, please steer clear.)

4. Comments that insult others or start fights will be deleted.

5. There is a playboy-type male supporting character, but he's physically and emotionally chaste. A playboy here means a rich young man who dresses extravagantly, neglects proper work, and spends all his time eating, drinking, and having fun.

6. Bringing some niche "everyone-loves-her" fries to the docks to feed the pigeons.

7. Next book: "It's Fun to Hurt Men"

A Man wakes up to find that she's transmigrated from a primitive ant-nest tribe into the modern world, as a notorious, widely disliked actress from a novel.

She's about to meet a tragic end.

At that moment, she's in a sorry state, but her dark red eyes remain indifferent as they slowly scan the sharp-tongued agent, the lustful rich heir, and the crowd of onlookers.

The villainess-reversal System chatters in her ear, trying to tempt her:

"To escape your death scene, you need to attract the male lead's attention. Come on, listen to me and act all pitiful..."

She slaps it across the face

To hell with your plot.

To hell with your System.

To hell with your male lead.

She will reproduce and grow her colony.

She will expand her territory.

She will assimilate humanity and colonize Blue Star!

Step one: Turn this blasted male lead into a subordinate who kneels at her feet.

Her scarlet tongue runs over her sharp canine teeth.

*

In a civilized world with no subordinates, A Man can only use temporary marking to get through her heats. But who could have guessed that the men she forcibly marks would start looking at her differently?

[The arrogant but undeniably beautiful top-tier star]

"Fuck!" He traps her between his arms, his expression fierce and the corners of his eyes flushed red. "Did you put a spell on me or something?!"

[The haughty and undeniably conceited musical genius]

"Don't go." He grabs the hem of her clothes without thinking, pressing his lips together as he murmurs, "Come a little closer... I'm begging you."

[The gentle but undeniably devious three-time Golden Rooster Award-winning actor]

"Hm?" He smiles faintly, revealing, as if by accident, a beautiful bite mark on the back of his pale neck. "You're imagining things. I didn't wear this for you."

[The womanizing yet undeniably heartless famous director]

"I can't let you bite me for nothing," he says, raising an eyebrow. He casually holds out his broad hand, then clears his throat, the tips of his ears turning red. "Let me hold your hand as payment."

[The vicious but undeniably cunning young master of a financial conglomerate]

"Sis, you smell so good." His eyes grow hazy. He tilts his head back and kisses her fingertips with near-reverence. "I want your scent to soak into every inch of me."

[The refined and undeniably ascetic tyrant CEO]

"..." His Adam's apple bobs. His fingers curl around her hand as he lowers his lashes and murmurs almost inaudibly, "...Touch me."

*

Ever since she bit their necks, the first sign of change was that they began to smell an alluring scent that seemed to appear and disappear... Then came nights and nights of unspeakable, sensual dreams... They longed more and more for her gaze, her scent, her touch... They longed to be controlled... And finally came instinct they could no longer resist, that surging, clamoring desire to submit.
