The Little Junior Sister Has No Heart

[Upcoming novel: The Female Lead Awakens a System. A goofy high school life and a male lead who throws himself at her! If you like it, my darlings, please add it to your collection~]

Blurb: Gu Mingcheng, the junior disciple of the Yuanzong Sect, envies, resents, and most wants to surpass his senior brother.

One is the senior brother, the other the junior disciple.

Both are born with sword bones, both are genius sword cultivators who established their foundations at eighteen, and both are the pride of their sect.

The only difference is that his senior brother is ten years older, a whole cultivation realm above him, went down the mountain to gain experience before him, and met their junior sister before he did.

If only I had gone to that secret realm instead.

Gu Mingcheng had thought this more than once.

Then he'd turn around and offer his junior sister a pastry. "Junior Sister, are you really not going to consider me? Senior Brother cultivates the Heartless Dao."

His junior sister replied, "Then I'll cultivate the Heartless Dao too."

Gu Mingcheng: ... Junior Sister, think this through! Two people cultivating the Heartless Dao won't have a happy ending!

At first, Gu Mingcheng thought his junior sister was simply cold toward him. But later, the Heart-Eater Demon's claws plunged right into her chest. Blood poured out, yet there was nothing inside.

Gu Mingcheng: So Junior Sister really doesn't have a heart.

Then how am I supposed to make her grow one?

Gu Mingcheng thought long and hard, and realized that only Senior Brother could move his junior sister.

Fine, I'll be a stand-in. A sword cultivator can do anything.

Chen Qianying, the junior sister of the Guiyuan Sect, is the only half-immortal artifact in the world to take human form. The reason she is only a half-immortal artifact is that, as a divine bow, she lacks the divine arrow that should accompany her. This also means that after taking human form, she has no heart.

Little scene:

One day.

After finishing a fight, Chen Qianying walked off the arena and naturally went over to Gu Mingcheng. She let her junior senior brother cast a dust-cleansing spell for her, straighten out the creases in her clothes, and tie up her disheveled hair again.

Her opponent, whom Chen Qianying had just punched into the ground, watched Gu Mingcheng serve her tea and water with tender care, and couldn't help saying sourly, "Well, well, the famous Young Master Mingcheng has fallen so low as to become someone's servant?"

Gu Mingcheng rolled his eyes at him:

"You don't know the first thing! You're just jealous I have such an adorable junior sister!"

A feel-good story about growing up, with a bickering ensemble of young characters. The male lead is an expert at talking himself into things.

[Naturally heartless, secretly dark junior sister x gentle, nurturing junior senior brother]

Blurb:

The day Qi Yuan received her admission letter from Shengguang High School, she awakened the "Female Lead Awakening System." The System told her she was the heroine of a school story, but a supporting female character with a System was about to steal her luck.

At the System's urging, Qi Yuan bought dozens of System novels and studied them carefully for three days. Then she asked:

"So the supporting female character is going to drive my dad's company into bankruptcy?"

The System: "No."

Qi Yuan: "Then will I fail to get into A University’s architecture department because of her?"

The System: "No, either."

Qi Yuan casually tossed aside the pen she'd used to take notes on the novels and propped her head up with one hand. She almost had "this supporting character is useless" written all over her face.

Qi Yuan was confused. "Then what is she going to take from me?"

The System: "She'll take away your childhood friend's boundless tolerance for you."

Qi Yuan ran to the balcony and leaned out to show the System Lu Shenheng in the neighboring yard, running around on all fours like a mad husky. She raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure I'm not the one endlessly putting up with that idiot?"

The System: ...

The System: "She'll make you lose Yun Ji, the aloof academic prodigy who was meant to be your boyfriend."

Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow again. "How much of an academic prodigy are we talking? Is he good enough to compete with me for first place in our grade?"

The System: "According to the original story, Yun Ji has always been number one in the grade."

Qi Yuan was not pleased. "Oh, then hurry up and have the supporting female character start dating him early. Anyone who dates early will see their grades fall. Anyone who competes with me for first place is no good."

The System: "But Yun Ji's family is the biggest real estate developer in the country, and has many famous architectural designers at its disposal. If you dated him as in the original story, all those resources would be yours."

Qi Yuan immediately dropped her lazy demeanor and waved her hand grandly:

"You're right, System! Why would I give up what's mine?"

Something has gone wrong in this world, and the story's supporting characters are awakening.

After reading the original story, Yun Ji, who had always been single, asked his System, "I was supposed to fall in love with Qi Yuan after graduation. Why am I only a supporting male character?"

The Supporting Male Character System clicked its tongue. "This is a female-led story. Where would the male lead come from? Do you really think dating the heroine will raise your status?"

"Still, you're a supporting male character, at least. I'll give you one chance to start over with your System. Do your best, and try to get Qi Yuan to fall for you."

Yun Ji recalled the bright, radiant girl in his memories and shook his head.

"Can I give Qi Yuan a System? She should get back everything she lost."

A dazzling, spirited girl x an aloof, high-and-mighty boy, with an ensemble cast

(High school life; no dating before adulthood; the male lead did not date the supporting female character in his previous life.)

Theme: Cultivation is cultivation of the heart.
