The sun blazed high, and due to someone’s oversight, its scorching rays slipped through the unclosed curtains, landing squarely on a fox tail.

Abandoned and exposed, the tail swayed left and right, attempting to escape this cruel punishment of relentless sunlight. Yet wherever it moved, the light followed, leaving it no choice but to helplessly swat at its owner’s petite frame, trying to rouse the sluggish girl from her slumber.

Xu Nian let out a muffled groan, her eyes still shut, and with a casual flick of her hand, she batted the disobedient tail aside.

The tail now dangled halfway off the bed, barely clinging to the edge, its owner none the wiser.

At least, not until the sun began roasting her backside.

Only then did Xu Nian finally stir, rubbing her still-groggy vulpine eyes, her vision far from clear.

“Morning, Qingya.”

The person she called out to gave no response, still lost in dreams, unaware of the waking world.

“Such a loser~ So that means, no matter what I do to you now, you can’t resist, huh?”

The delicate sleeping beauty’s hair was slightly disheveled, yet it didn’t give off an unkempt impression.

Gazing at her like this, Xu Nian couldn’t resist lightly pressing her lips to the other girl’s cheek before slipping out of bed.

A glance at the time: [10:01].

Brushing her teeth and grooming her tail simultaneously, she noticed her tail felt unusually warm and slightly puffed up.

Of course, the toothbrush Xu Nian used was Su Qingya’s. So was the comb.

Everything here carried Su Qingya’s scent—to her, it was practically heaven.

For a moment, she even felt a flicker of gratitude. Grateful that Su Qingya was the true heiress, grateful that she had managed to salvage their relationship, and grateful that she could still enjoy all of this.

And once Su Qingya returned to her family and reclaimed her rightful place, the distance between them would only shrink, their bond growing ever tighter.

[Daily Mission Issued: To deepen your relationship with your girlfriend, hold hands, interlace your fingers, and engage in a continuous kiss for thirty minutes.]

Today’s task wasn’t exactly difficult, but it wasn’t simple either.

Taking advantage of Su Qingya like this—kissing her for half an hour while she slept—wouldn’t that make her seem like some kind of pervert?

But she had to do it. It was necessary to ensure the plan proceeded smoothly.

After all, the male lead—that CEO—was monstrously powerful. If she wasn’t careful, things could go horribly wrong.

Su Qingya would understand.

Besides, they’d been a couple for three years now. A little kiss wouldn’t hurt, right?

[Ding~ Daily Mission Complete. Simulation Count +1. Current Remaining Simulations: 1]

Once the kiss was over, she picked up Su Qingya’s phone. The time read [11:12]. It was almost time to leave.

Xu Nian left a note on the desk, making sure Su Qingya would see it, then dressed herself up just like yesterday.

Now, she was truly Su Qingya’s little sister.

—Su Qingnian.

Better remember her role.

What kind of persona would work best?

As a drama student, acting was Xu Nian’s forte.

“Let’s go with a timid, fragile act.”

Xu Nian gave a slight tremble, her expression instantly crumbling into something pitiful—the kind of look that would make her burst into tears if someone so much as glared at her.

“Ahem… S-sis… Big sister… Sh-she’s… sick…”

“Ack—feels like something’s missing.”

“Little sister… big sister… big brother…”

“Ah! Got it!”

“U-um… H-hi, big brother… B-big sister is sick, s-so… I-I’m here in her place…”

Perfect.

She had the vibe down.

But Xu Nian wasn’t in a hurry to leave yet.

She planned to test things out with a simulation first.

Verifying before acting was a good habit—it kept her from making reckless mistakes.

“Alright, let’s start the simulation.”

[Ding~ Host has initiated a simulation.]

[Deducting one simulation count. Remaining simulations: 0.]

[Simulation commencing…]

[Due to certain circumstances, you’ve decided to take your girlfriend’s place in meeting a man. Of course, you’re not here to check if he’s ‘refreshing’—you’re after some well-hidden secrets.]

[You know you have to do this. There’s no other choice.]

[After careful preparation and disguise, you arrive alone at the meeting spot.]

[Your timid, fragile demeanor irritates the CEO, surnamed Lin, but he suppresses his displeasure.]

[You maintain a deliberate distance, and he appreciates your self-awareness. You state your fabricated identity and seize the chance to ask about the Emotion Beasts. Perhaps out of respect for your girlfriend, he gives you a brief, clipped explanation.]

[You realize he’s not one for small talk—his impatience is written all over his face—so you commit his words to memory as best you can.]

[You ask if an Emotion Beast has already targeted you, but he denies it, bluntly stating you’ll never become an Emotion Wielder. Your only future, he says, is living under someone else’s protection—otherwise, knowing these secrets will make your life a living hell.]

[You leave the hotel, only to run straight into your girlfriend. She eyes your disguise and demands to know why you’re here—are you cheating on her?]

[You’re baffled. Wasn’t she the one sneaking around first? Yet now she’s interrogating you? Annoyed, you’re about to snap back when she suddenly presses a handkerchief to your face, knocking you out cold.]

[You wake up in what seems to be a pitch-black basement. At least, this time, your limbs are intact.]

[Then you see her—your girlfriend, completely naked, wearing some kind of bizarre toy. You stare at it in horror, a scream tearing from your throat.]

[You know if that thing gets inside you, you’ll die. You thrash wildly, desperate to escape.]

[“Niannian, didn’t you once tell me girls can find pleasure together too? So why betray me now?”]

[“Are you lonely? Don’t worry… I’ll make you feel full. Niannian, I might not have that, but I can improvise. I can learn.”]

[“Whatever you want, I’ll make it happen.”]

[“So… so… you’re not allowed to leave me, okay~?”]

[“Not allowed~”]

[You feel something pierce through you.]

[Simulation complete.]

[Unlocked Ending: Sweet Union]

[You believe the purest love is becoming one with her. Though she lacks a cooldown, unable to stop even when your body can’t take it, she’ll forever cherish the sight of your blissful, heaven-bound expression—until your beauty is frozen in that moment for eternity.]

[What sinful love.]

[Please select your reward:]

[1. The True Gaze of an Emotion Beast]

[2. A Handkerchief Stained with ]

[3. A Strange Electric Toy]

Xu Nian: “???”
