Dottore took in a little girl and made her his student. Everyone thought he had ulterior motives, including his colleagues. He did, of course, but weren't they taking things a bit too far? Sharp-tongued puppet: “You bastard, Dottore! Back to your lying tricks again!” Big-hearted captain: “If you need help, you can come to me, little girl.” Sweet and innocent Tartaglia: “Sis! I'm a Harbinger now, too. Why not come with me?” Pretty, wealthy Pan: “Hehe, sorry about that, friend.” Pure and harmless little pigeon: “I'm her aunt. I can be her guardian, too.” Even his enemies... Avenger from Mondstadt: “Come with me. I believe you're being controlled by him.” Enchantress of Nod-Krai: “Miss, would you like to come with me?” Sumeru's great show-off: “If you can't take control of your own life, why not let me take control of it?” And the busty captain, the wandering bard... Why are all these people winking and flirting at my student? Heroine's perspective: Mr. Dottore is a kind and gentle doctor. When I was on the verge of death, tormented by illness, he saved me. I love him. How could I not love him? Because if I don't love him, I can't go on living. But someone told me, “You can live without him. You might even live better.” Dottore's perspective: I took in a little girl and did everything I could to give her the best. So why did she betray me in the end? 1. The kind and gentle doctor is how the heroine sees him. He isn't actually like that. She truly believes it to some extent, but she's also deceiving herself in order to survive. 2. Dottore is still as sinister as in the original. There will be no redemption or happy ending. The heroine has no romantic feelings for the Doctor, only gratitude and fear, and she will eventually break with him. 3. All male characters are virgins. The main story is in third person. There is no romance before the heroine becomes an adult, and the romance begins after that. She's already an adult by Chapter 2. The story still leans toward multiple love interests, with the domineering Harbingers falling for “me,” and a tangled love triangle between the Doctor, the heroine, and Scaramouche. Some characters may be prejudiced against the heroine early on because of their differing allegiances, and may even behave excessively. Please read with caution if that's not for you. 4. This is neither a sweet romance nor an empowered heroine story. It's a Mary Sue romance dressed up as a tale of hardship. Because of her upbringing and personality, the heroine is rather meek at first, with a weak-willed personality and very little combat ability. She may not become strong even later on. If you don't want to see the heroine suffer any grievances or mistreatment, and prefer strong heroines, this story may not be for you. Recommended upcoming story: [Reborn!] My Colleague's Girlfriend Smells So Good If the advance reservations exceed 700, this will be my next long story. Otherwise, I'll decide later. My baseball-crazy colleague fell in love, and he even brought his girlfriend to the office! What a terrifying love-struck fool! Isn't he worried she might be a spy from another family? When Gokudera Hayato first saw Yamamoto Takeshi's girlfriend, his first thought was: How could that guy possibly have a girlfriend? He couldn't believe it. Hadn't they all agreed to devote their lives to the Vongola? What do you mean, they never said that? Gokudera Hayato was anxious day and night. He didn't even know what he was anxious about. He just found his colleague more and more irritating. Until Yamamoto Takeshi couldn't help asking, “Gokudera, don't tell me you're jealous?” What? How could he possibly be jealous of him? It's not like he'd fall for a colleague's girlfriend! Gokudera Hayato loudly declared, “I would never fall for a colleague's girlfriend!” Yamamoto Takeshi: “...Nobody asked you.” Later, his colleague and his girlfriend broke up. Gokudera Hayato's anxiety disappeared in an instant. His colleague's ex-girlfriend wasn't his girlfriend anymore, so it should be fine, right...? Yamamoto Takeshi: “...” After hesitating and dithering for ages, just as Gokudera was finally about to make his move, he discovered that his other colleagues had already made theirs! Gokudera Hayato: “What do you mean all my colleagues, including the leaders of the allied families and those idiots from the assassination squad, have fallen for the baseball nut's ex-girlfriend?!” And that's not even all of it. Heroine's perspective: Lu Rulan: I don't know why, but my boyfriend's colleagues all seem so strange, like there's something wrong with their heads. They're all pretty handsome, though. 1. A brainless, everyone-loves-me kind of Mary Sue story. 2. The heroine won't accept another man's feelings until after she breaks up with her boyfriend. 3. The heroine is an international student with no special abilities. This is purely a romance story, with little focus on careers or personal growth. 4. The story begins ten years after the original. Everyone is an adult, and all male characters are virgins. Theme: Love life and keep doing your best
