# "A tangled-up person needs a lover who won't be driven away."
They lived across the hall from each other. They sat together in kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and high school. To their neighbors, teachers, classmates, friends, and family, Xia Zhi and Xian Zhi were the closest childhood friends imaginable.
Some people said that by the time they reached university, Xia Zhi and Xian Zhi ought to be walking down the aisle.
When Xia Zhi heard this, she fell silent for a long time. Just then, the boy looked over with his innocent puppy eyes. She instinctively looked away, then gave him a "don't worry" look, clenched her fists, and marched over in righteous indignation to argue with the rumor-spreaders.
She failed to notice the fleeting sadness on the boy's face, or the nearly feverish intensity in his eyes when he looked at her again.
Xia Zhi was scared.
She was just an utterly ordinary girl. Xian Zhi was different. Just standing there, he shone brilliantly.
She was afraid of losing this friend.
But late at night, that hidden ache flooded over her.
Hugging her bunny plush, Xia Zhi sat in the empty living room and stared blankly at the screen, where the heroine Amu from Shugo Chara! was making a wish to her Guardian Character.
If there really were gods in the world, could they make her a little more outstanding, too?
...The very next day, the gods answered her prayer. She got a jar of origami-crane candy, and eating one let her make her fantasies come true.
Well, even so, she decided to start with novels, games, and manga.
If she only made a dream come true at night, it shouldn't interfere with her studies, right? The girl blinked. She wanted to be a beautiful, fair-skinned girl adored by everyone. She wanted to turn all those tragic endings she couldn't bear into happy endings. She wanted to save the tragic second male leads!
The mermaid prince, the tentacled evil god, the Miao frontier boy, the vampire duke, the fox Taoist, the alluring snake demon, the domineering CEO, the ascetic doctor...
My good boys, here I come!
But why did all these men look so much like her childhood friend?
The girl covered her eyes as a faint blush gradually spread over her skin. How was she supposed to face him during the day? Waaah!
