Mo Lini noticed that Liyana was truly famous here—almost every few steps, someone would come up to greet her or strike up a conversation.
"Ah, it's Lady Liyana!"
"Long time no see, Lady Liyana."
"The last time I saw her was three hundred years ago."
When elves said "long time no see," it probably wasn’t just small talk—it might genuinely have been ages since they last met.
"Hello."
"Hello to you too."
"Ahaha..."
At first, Liyana seemed to enjoy the attention, but soon, the overwhelming enthusiasm became too much for her… much like how Aina felt when facing Xia Lun in bed.
Liyana dragged Mo Lini into a narrow alley, dodging the "pursuit" of the other elves.
"I never expected you to be this popular," Mo Lini said, genuinely surprised. "What exactly did you do?"
"Hehe…" Liyana scratched her head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Mo Lini’s expression gradually turned odd. She had only asked casually, but judging by Liyana’s reaction, there seemed to be more to the story.
"I’ll only tell you this—you can’t share it with anyone else," Liyana whispered after checking their surroundings to ensure no one was listening.
Mo Lini nodded solemnly. "Don’t worry, my lips are sealed."
"Well, it’s not really a big deal… Let me think… It happened quite a while ago, maybe seven or eight hundred years back…" Liyana hemmed and hawed, making Mo Lini roll her eyes impatiently.
"Alright, alright, I’ll tell you. Basically, I got drunk once and spun some tall tales, but everyone actually believed me." Liyana stuck out her tongue sheepishly.
"That doesn’t sound like much?" Mo Lini blinked, puzzled as to how such a trivial matter could earn Liyana such prestige among the elves.
After all, adventurers boasting in taverns was as natural as humans dying when killed—nothing out of the ordinary.
Mo Lini pressed further, "So, what exactly did you say that they all believed?"
"Uh… They seemed to think I was the one who defeated the Demon King," Liyana admitted, scratching her head guiltily.
Mo Lini: ?
"I had no choice! They kept asking how I fought alongside the Hero to take down the Demon King. How could I admit that Xia Lun disbanded the party and defeated the Demon King alone, while I never even laid eyes on him? That would’ve been way too embarrassing… So I just… embellished things a little. I only said my arrow pierced the Demon King’s heart—I never claimed I was the one who defeated him! They jumped to that conclusion themselves. Yeah, it’s totally their fault!" Liyana began shifting blame wildly.
"Then, the story spread. Everyone started believing I was the true Hero who defeated the Demon King, but I was too humble to claim the glory, so I let Xia Lun take the credit. And to avoid causing trouble with the humans, the elves all silently agreed not to spread this outside our race."
After all, if humans found out the elves were circulating such rumors, it would spark endless debates over who the real Hero was… Liyana knew full well how influential Xia Lun was among humans.
Liyana glanced nervously at Mo Lini, whose mouth hung open wider than when she was eating—as if she could fit an entire egg inside.
"You’ll keep this a secret, right?" Liyana ventured.
Mo Lini was too stunned to speak. She nodded at first, then shook her head.
"But in reality, you never even saw the Demon King… This whole mess is just the result of your drunken bragging."
"Waaah—" Liyana pouted tearfully, her adorable expression making her look undeniably cute when she acted like this.
Mo Lini: "I think, at the very least, Xia Lun should know about this."
"No! Mo Lini, if Xia Lun finds out, I’m dead!" Liyana wailed in despair.
Mo Lini tilted her head. "Liyana, from what I know of Xia Lun, he wouldn’t blame you for something like this."
After all, Xia Lun surely already understood Liyana’s personality… Her accidentally causing such a stir was unexpected, but not entirely surprising.
"I know, Mo Lini, I know that," Liyana explained. "Of course I know Xia Lun wouldn’t hold it against me—he’s the Hero, after all. But if Xia Lun knows, Aina will find out too. And if Aina discovers I stole Xia Lun’s glory, she’ll never let me off the hook!"
"Oh!" Mo Lini paused, then nodded in sudden understanding.
Mo Lini concluded: "Liyana… then you really are doomed."
Liyana: …
"So, you absolutely cannot tell anyone! You promised me!" Liyana grabbed Mo Lini’s hands tightly. "Please! If you keep this secret, I’ll do anything for you."
"Let go of me first." Mo Lini pulled her hands back, not forgetting Liyana’s reputation as an elf with certain… preferences.
"I’ll treat you to ten more green dumplings!"
Mo Lini gulped.
Liyana waved grandly. "Unlimited! Whenever you want them, I’ll treat you!"
Mo Lini’s eyes widened instantly.
"O-only if Xia Lun and the others don’t ask me directly, I won’t bring it up," Mo Lini muttered, turning her face away. "B-because you’re my friend too. I can’t just leave you to die."
Liyana grinned, looking like a schemer who’d gotten her way, and patted Mo Lini’s shoulder. Then she picked up Little Blue from the ground and poked it. "You’re not allowed to spill either, got it?"
"Blub—blub—"
The slime’s round little mouth opened and closed, making bubble-like sounds.
"Good, I’ll take that as a yes." Liyana placed Little Blue back atop Mo Lini’s head.
Then, under Mo Lini’s watchful gaze, Liyana began fiddling with her long ears.
"Liyana, what are you doing?"
"Oh, this is my disguise." Liyana pulled out a hair tie from nowhere and tied her hair into a ponytail. "Now no one will recognize me."
To Mo Lini, Liyana’s appearance didn’t seem to have changed at all.
"Among elves, we don’t identify each other by faces—it’s the ears first, then the hair. Most of us look pretty similar anyway," Liyana explained, flipping her newly tied ponytail. "Beautiful faces are a dime a dozen, but a soul as fascinating as mine? One in a million!"
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards.

He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes.

The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
