The Adopted Sister Acts Strange (1)

"Be extra careful this time."

Before leaving, Little Wei heard Si's concerned reminder. She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but Si’s voice seemed gentler with each passing day.

Admit it—this system couldn’t function without her.

Novel plot transmission in progress…

Original male lead: Le Xu VS Fanfiction male lead: Xiao Linfeng.

The moment Little Wei saw this line, she fell silent. Wasn’t this the classic format of those popular web novels?

You know, the aloof, untouchable ice prince VS the obsessive, unhinged yandere type.

So it really was a boys' love novel after all.

"Since this novel is pretty old-school and had a lot of female fans back then, there were people who shipped these two," Si helpfully explained.

Little Wei didn’t respond and kept reading.

The original plot was fairly simple—eat, sleep, beat up some noobs. The male lead, Le Xu, gained summoning abilities when the apocalypse hit. With a saintly heart, he saved countless lives and built an underground safe haven with his childhood sweetheart, the female lead Xia Jingli.

However, due to backlash over the male lead’s personality, the novel never gained much traction. That said, the characters Xia Jingli and Le Xiaowei were surprisingly popular among male readers.

One such male fan wrote a fanfiction where the female lead and all the female side characters close to the male lead ended up in the fanfic male lead’s harem. It blew up, and after the two worlds merged, Le Xiaowei—the original male lead’s sister—mocked Xiao Linfeng for seducing her sister-in-law into sacrificing herself. This angered Xiao Linfeng’s fangirls.

Xiao Linfeng had a thing for Le Xiaowei. After all, as the original male lead’s sister, she was undeniably attractive. He tried to win her over, but Le Xiaowei, being part of the original protagonist’s circle, was somewhat resistant to the fanfic male lead’s charm. After rejecting him multiple times, Xiao Linfeng’s lackeys, taking his hints, staged a "hero saves the beauty" scenario.

But things went wrong. During a high-level zombie attack in a supermarket, Le Xiaowei lost her life. Xiao Linfeng felt zero remorse—instead, he set his sights on Le Xu. Well, more specifically, his abilities.

Under the fanfic male lead’s "charitable savior" act, Le Xu became Xiao Linfeng’s lackey. To spice things up, Xiao Linfeng even slept with the original female lead right in front of Le Xu. Though uncomfortable, Le Xu didn’t say much—after all, he and his childhood sweetheart weren’t officially together yet.

It wasn’t until later that Le Xu discovered the truth about his sister’s death. But when he finally tried to take revenge, his hesitation cost him. Xiao Linfeng killed him instead.

"This is the result of the two worlds merging. In the fanfiction, Le Xiaowei was already part of Xiao Linfeng’s harem," Si added, as if worried Le Xiaowei wouldn’t get it.

Le Xiaowei: "…"

"Seriously? People actually ship this kind of BL?" Le Xiaowei was horrified.

"That’s not important. The merged plot isn’t entirely accurate, so unexpected situations might arise this time," Si said, frowning with concern.

"So what’s the mission this time?"

Was she supposed to save Le Xiaowei’s life? She couldn’t even fight zombies—how was she supposed to pull off the kind of massacre the system could?

"There are three tasks."

"Main Mission: Kill Xiao Linfeng."

"Side Mission 1: Help Le Xu find true love."

"Side Mission 2: Purification."

Le Xiaowei recognized the last one.

"Purification can dodge tower damage, skills, basic attacks, and CC effects, plus grants 1.5 seconds of immunity."

Si fell silent at that.

But now that she had her mission, Le Xiaowei could finally open her eyes.

The original male lead’s family was well-off, so she expected to wake up in a soft, luxurious bed.

Instead, the moment her eyelids lifted, she saw her own clawed hand reaching toward a terrified girl cowering under a counter.

The girl wore white thigh-high socks and a pleated skirt, her twin ponytails messy, her almond-shaped eyes red with tears. She trembled as she held up her schoolbag like a shield.

"P-please don’t eat me!" The girl was petrified.

Le Xiaowei froze. She looked down at her own grayish-green, rotting hand, stained with blood.

…Wait. Had she just become a freaking zombie?!

So much for trusting the original plot. Aside from the first world starting at the very beginning, these last two had been completely off-track.

But the fact that the girl was still wearing a school uniform suggested Le Xiaowei hadn’t been a zombie for long. Otherwise, she’d have switched to something warmer and more protective.

Le Xiaowei’s throat worked.

"Go," she rasped. Her voice was hoarse, but intelligible.

At least she could still talk.

Le Xiaowei nearly cried with joy. Mom, she’d made it!

Yuan Qiaoqiao thought she’d misheard. Peeking out from behind her bag, she eyed the grayish zombie warily. The zombie wore red casual clothes, its previously menacing claws now hanging limply at its sides—almost humanlike.

"Th-thank you…" Yuan Qiaoqiao didn’t understand what was happening, but when the zombie stepped back, she cautiously stood up.

As soon as she left the counter, she turned—and came face-to-face with dozens of zombies in the aisles, all staring at her.

Dozens of pairs of glowing green eyes locked onto her. A few even lunged forward, only to be blocked by the counter—apparently, the female zombie had claimed her as its own meal. Yuan Qiaoqiao immediately crouched back down, clutching her bag.

"…I think I’ll stay here."

Le Xiaowei knew the girl wasn’t going anywhere yet, so she walked over to the sink behind the counter and turned on the faucet, washing the blood off her hands.

Some of it was green. Some was red.

As she scrubbed, she felt a bony finger poke her arm.

One of the zombies growled at her.

"Sis, if you’re not gonna eat her, mind sharing? The boys are starving."

It wasn’t human speech, but Le Xiaowei understood.

She’d never been scared of zombie movies, but being this close to one was a first. Its bulging eyeballs looked ready to pop out, its rotting flesh crawling with maggots—disgusting beyond words.

As a self-proclaimed aesthetics snob, Le Xiaowei refused to let such an eyesore run rampant in her territory.

She grabbed a nearby baseball bat and swung at the zombie’s head.

"Scram! You think a face like that deserves to eat her? Dream on!"

For a zombie, Le Xiaowei had shockingly little sympathy. She chased all the zombies out of the supermarket with the bat, and to her surprise, they seemed afraid of her, slinking away like scolded dogs.

"Wait, wasn’t there supposed to be a high-level zombie here? Where is it?" Little Wei wondered.

"Oh, that one got recruited into Xiao Linfeng’s harem a while ago. She was a pretty salesgirl."

Little Wei: "…"

???

You’ve got to be kidding me. Even zombies weren’t safe? What a monster.

Then again, in old-school apocalypse novels, male leads hooking up with female zombies wasn’t uncommon. Some even specialized in zombie romance. Standard fare, really.

This site is about to undergo a major upgrade, adding more books and faster chapter updates.
