[The heroine forcibly makes the heroes hers]
1) Dai Yi is the queen of a dating-game conquest forum, known for having never met an otome game she couldn't beat or a male lead she couldn't conquer.
That is, until the full-cast reverse-harem otome mobile game Dance of the Dark Night comes out
A dark plot, a polyandrous world, a huge cast of handsome, gloomy, unhinged men, and a wrong choice means death...
And most outrageous of all, there are no separate routes.
In other words, players have to conquer six men with extreme personalities and possessive streaks, who kill without batting an eye, all on the same timeline, make them fall in love with her, and get them to graciously accept the presence of the other fish in her pond.
Three days after the game launches, it gets so much hate that it hits the top of the forum's trending list.
The verdict: My relationship with a happy ending is like a fish with a bicycle.
Just as Dai Yi eagerly prepares to play, a System claiming, "If they don't fall for you, I lose," lures her into the actual game.
It says she can return to her original world only after she achieves the good ending.
Dai Yi: "..."
Dai Yi puts it tactfully: "Playing a battle royale game and playing real-life airsoft are two different things."
She only knows how to talk a big game! Aaaah!
2) With only three pitiful save slots to rely on, Dai Yi begins her diligent conquest campaign.
On her first try, Dai Yi decides to approach the aloof, taciturn genius potion-maker. She pretends to faint so he can rescue her, brings him food every day, finds ingredients for his potions, and tries every trick to bring the unattainable beauty down to earth. A month later, with only one ingredient left for the potion, a drop of blood from the heart, the potion-maker kills her without hesitation.
On her second try, Dai Yi targets the puppeteer who lives deep in the mountains. The girl who wanders into the mountains warms the gloomy and powerful puppeteer like a little sun, coming up with one novel idea after another to bring life to his stagnant existence. Then mercenaries storm the mountains, and she becomes fertilizer for upgrading his puppets.
On her third try, Dai Yi learns from her mistakes and chooses a mild-mannered young major general born to a noble family, who has always had everything go his way. She plans to become his fiancee and let their feelings grow over time. After only a few meetings, he strangles her with his own hands, frames a rival family, and turns her into a cheap, disposable weapon.
On her seventh try, she finally conquers the decisive Governor and the Lord of the Cursed Sea. But when he's discovered that she's been playing both sides, the Governor puts a bullet in her and sends her on her way.
After dying N times, Dai Yi is completely furious.
If the traditional way of conquering men doesn't work, she'll try a different approach.
3) Using the intelligence and experience gained from her previous save slots, on her N+1st try, she stops conquering the men one by one. Instead, she levels up by fighting her way through the game and becomes the Emperor of the Star Alliance, wielding real power.
On her first day as Emperor, Dai Yi politely sends each of the six dogs an email.
The emails clearly list their weaknesses, vulnerabilities, and fatal flaws.
She also includes a friendly declaration:
Marry me or die.
Reader's guide:
1. The main story begins after the heroine becomes Emperor of the Star Alliance, with flashbacks to her earlier save slots woven in. Dying in the game world is just a black screen for the heroine. She feels no pain and her body isn't injured.
2. All the male leads are virgins, and every one of them is mentally ill, beyond saving. They'll gradually recover their memories. The men will be tortured mercilessly, so read with caution.
3. I'm trying to write a heroine who gradually turns a little dark, going from a sweet, soft girl to an Emperor-type personality, and physically and emotionally tortures the men, forcing them into relationships. If you can't stand Dai Yi, don't yell at her, just click away. If you can't stand the male leads, feel free to yell at them ^_^
