Pampered and Kept by a Gloomy Younger Lover

The Philanthropic and Selfless Sister × The Dark, Sinister, and Obsessive Younger “Ghost”

“In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between Wen Zhao and Zheng Miaoning was more or less pathological. One engaged in endless demands, while the other offered limitless devotion. As the one being drained, Wen Zhao never saw it that way. When Zheng Miaoning made demands of her, Wen Zhao actually felt honored.”

Wen Zhao transmigrated into a “bad ending” outline of a novel she had written herself. Her very first impression of this fictional world was Zheng Miaoning, standing on a stage radiating brilliant light. Taking care of Zheng Miaoning became Wen Zhao’s sole reason for living.

As she continued to care for her, Wen Zhao gradually discovered that Zheng Miaoning would gaze at every person passing by her with scrutinizing, poisonous eyes. Wen Zhao remained silent, because the setting she had originally given the female lead was that of a bright, sunny, and cheerful “happy little girl.”

The belated System hesitated to speak, well aware of the terrifying power of a “creator’s bias.” Finally, it said: “Let’s put the ‘cheerful’ part aside for a moment. Haven’t you noticed that the way your female lead looks at you is very… off?” It added that because of Wen Zhao’s intervention, Zheng Miaoning’s character and destiny had already veered off course.

Wen Zhao urgently cooperated with the System to correct this. The method: break off relations with Zheng Miaoning, and then, stay far away from her.

Since birth, Zheng Miaoning had always been the center of attention. But when Wen Zhao took the initiative to shift the gaze that belonged to her onto others, Zheng Miaoning left in a fit of pique. Wen Zhao had no other choice; she could only tacitly accept the girl’s resentment.

To Wen Zhao’s surprise, the Zheng Miaoning who returned from her studies did not revert to being the “bright” female lead; instead, she became a sinister woman who could manifest anytime, anywhere. Whether Wen Zhao was alone or with others, Zheng Miaoning would always appear behind her like clockwork.

With nowhere to hide, a helpless Wen Zhao asked the System: “Didn’t you say that if I left her, she would become normal?” The System dropped a single sentence—”Anyway, just look behind you first”—and then played dead.

Zheng Miaoning, wearing a long dress with her curly hair draped over her shoulders, stood behind Wen Zhao with a beaming smile. Her two arms coiled around Wen Zhao’s shoulders and abdomen as she whispered into her ear: “Stop running. When it comes to taking care of yourself, you’re simply no good at it at all.”

Wen Zhao: … The bad news: She had been “confined.” The good news: The reason Zheng Miaoning confined her was because she wanted to save her.

Side Story Theater

In Wen Zhao’s eyes, Zheng Miaoning was still at her cutest when she wasn’t quite sober. For instance, after getting drunk, a red-faced Zheng Miaoning would cry and say: “Sister Zhao, give me one more chance, okay?” “I’ll change. You can have other people in your eyes; I won’t care anymore.”

Meeting those tear-filled eyes, Wen Zhao knew Zheng Miaoning was faking it and would absolutely never change. Wen Zhao gently kissed her eyes. She still chose to indulge her.

One-sentence intro: The price of saying you love me is that you must love me forever.

Intent: Love can reshape each other’s flesh, blood, and soul.
