Blurb:

I, Caiyun Zhuzhu, am the youngest legitimate daughter of the Zenin clan head. When I awakened the same cursed technique as my father, I was named a candidate for clan head. From that day on, my awful relatives showed their true colors.

Faced with a father who nearly gave me a gender identity crisis, a mother who favors men but is a lesbian, an uncle who went crazy because he couldn't have children, and an anthropomorphic older brother who suspects Dad is being cheated on every day... I choose:

A. Be patient for a while, and everything will be fine. Take one step back, and the world opens up.

B. Become the biggest piece of work in the Zenin clan and flatten everyone!

Me: Do I even need to choose? B!

...After dealing with my older brother, I could only choose A because I wasn't strong enough.

I'm not strong yet, but when I am, everything will change!

I decide to get stronger and flatten them one by one.

Along the way, I meet a black-haired older cousin who might be my dad, and an outrageous white-haired childhood friend.

Toji: ...I'm not your dad.

Gojo: ...What do you mean, outrageous?

That's not important. Anyway, my cousin teaches me everything he knows to help me get stronger and achieve my little goal of flattening the Zenin clan. To repay his kindness, I decide:

A. Keep my cousin in the Zenin clan. Once I become clan head, if there's soup for me, there'll be rice for him.

B. Send my cousin to high school so he can get twelve years of compulsory education and become a useful member of society.

Me: ...I guess I'll choose B.

After sending my cousin to high school, I lose my purpose in life and decide to find a new one. This time, I choose:

A. Enter the upper echelons of the jujutsu world and become the power behind the throne.

B. Become a manga artist and compete alongside the Big Three battle manga.

Me: Then I guess I'll choose... A...

My outrageous childhood friend starts making snide remarks: Tsk, tsk, tsk. You don't want to become one of the rotten higher-ups, do you?

Me: Right back at you!

...No, I still want to choose B!

Being a jujutsu sorcerer is my livelihood. Being a manga artist is my dream. I'm sure I'll make a name for myself.

After all, sometimes I feel like I'm the heroine of a shonen manga. Wouldn't drawing shonen manga be the perfect fit?

Outrageous childhood friend: "So I'm the male lead?"

"No, no, no," I say seriously. "You're a textbook second male lead. You grew up in an awful family, but you'll meet a destined boy with an onion-shaped head and goggles, and the two of you will form a profound bond..."

"Then your destined boy will turn evil and you'll kill him, and you'll visit his grave for seventeen years... only to discover he faked his death!"

"Don't think I can't tell that you mashed up the stories of K* and Kakash* together, you little rascal!"

Reading Notes:

1. Caiyun Zhuzhu is a gender-swapped story. A villainess heiress is a little better than a feudal young master, but not by much. Aside from her looks, cursed technique, money, and manga skills, she has basically no redeeming qualities. She charges ahead recklessly, like a boar, and tries hard to flatten everyone, though sometimes it backfires... A textbook ISTP, a prickly oddball with an avoidant personality.

2. First-person narration.

3. Single world, no crossover. The story starts when she first awakens her cursed technique. Slice of life with a focus on getting stronger; she will ultimately succeed in all sorts of ways. The hardest part is her childhood at the start.

4. The pairing is set: the white-haired childhood friend.

5. Anti-piracy measures are enabled: 30%.

6. This is not a story where the male lead outshines the strong female lead. By the end, the heroine will be Zenin clan head, head of the Jujutsu Headquarters, and a manga artist whose name goes down in history!

Next story to write:

Starting from Zero: A Sword-Bearer's Daily Life [Crossover], second person, you

A disastrous start: both parents dead, no car, no house, and a mountain of debt.

Just as you're at the end of your rope and about to pack your bags and head to Yokohama to become a mafia member, a sleek, glossy-coated fox suddenly appears in front of you

"Girl with spiritual power, will you set out on a journey to protect history?"

You: Does it include food and lodging?

Kitsunezuka: Of course, my lady! If you want, you can be the little emperor of your citadel!

Good news: You've been crowned.

Bad news: Becoming emperor hasn't freed you from poverty.

Looking at your dirt-poor citadel, which doesn't even have an internet connection, you feel the difficulty of building up its infrastructure. Faced with your neighbors in every direction, corrupted citadels all, you feel how hard it is to survive.

You decide to stop being human!

Theme: Work hard, break free from confinement, and build a better future
