A Whip and Sugar Are Both Essential

A beautiful, powerful, tragic villainess who plays dumb x the residents of Kabukicho [Everyone loves her || female-centered || somewhat ensemble cast || HE planned] People have always been curious about Asai Chisa's love life. She insists she isn't dating anyone, but there's never a shortage of reports of people spotting her on dates. “I'm not really sure about Miss Chacha... But she and Gin-san often go play pachinko and drink together. If they stay out too late, she lets Gin-san sleep over in her living room... Why don't you ask him? He might know more...”, S., a part-time employee at the Odd Jobs agency (younger brother) “Eh, Chacha? Hijikata-san sometimes comes to wait for her after work, and when we all go out, he only asks for her... I think Hijikata-san is courting her? But some people say they saw them kissing in an alley out back. Maybe they're having a secret affair?”, S., a part-time employee at Smile (older sister) “Chi? She's always gotten along well with Sougo, and she still comes to the police station to hang out with him a lot. Last time they even went to Hakone for hot springs together. I'm so jealous. I wish I could really relax for once. ...Huh? Were they alone at the hot springs? Oh, yes, they went alone.”, K., a senior police official “Chii... Mutsu says she's been meeting up with Takasugi a lot lately. I wonder what they talk about. That Takasugi kid used to go around with a constant scowl, and all the girls thought he was boring. Maybe they talk about the Joui... Hahahahahahaha...”, S., a space merchant “You're asking what kind of relationship the captain has with that woman? Hmm... Hard to say. Well... Getting involved with that captain is no small feat. If you ask me, it's probably that. ...What do you mean, what? You know, that, mating season.”, A., a space pirate = A popular foreign palace drama has been all the rage lately. After watching it, Asai Chisa has a dream that night. In the dream, she's a powerful prince. Sakata Gintoki is her seemingly easygoing but actually ruthless principal consort; Hijikata Toshiro is her tsundere, tongue-tied secondary consort and youthful first love; while Okita Sougo is her fiercely competitive, most-favored lover. Though they can't stand one another and are always arguing, they manage to live in relative harmony. Until one day, a newcomer arrives at the prince's manor. A rebel leader with whom she shared feelings while fleeing beyond the frontier, and a bandit chieftain who forces his way in despite everyone's objections. Her mostly peaceful life instantly descends into chaos. Just then, she wakes up. ...A reality where everyone behaves themselves is still better. = A few tips for enjoying whips and sugar: * Lots of headcanon, with a chance of OOC characterization * All jokes and teasing are for the sake of the story and don't reflect the author's personal views * The author enjoys all ships and includes plenty of platonic relationships. Canon romantic pairings are retained. All shippers are welcome, but proceed with caution if these aren't your thing. * The heroine is smart, emotionally and intellectually, and strong in a fight. She's a self-serving, ruthless woman who knows she's beautiful. * Original title: Dating Sim Currently writing two stories at once [Gintama] A Ghostly Romance with a Natural-Curled-Hair Man A living person who fears ghosts and wanders into hell x a corporate ghost and reaper official who fears the living: a bittersweet story of salvation Upcoming novels 1.
