I Became the Beloved Junior Sister in a Den of Villainous Senior Broth

Thunderclouds loomed, spiritual energy rioted.

Protagonist Xiao Yunchen sat pale-faced before a communication mirror, clutching his sword hilt so tightly his knuckles turned white. Rage and resentment nearly tore him apart.

— He was supposed to be the center of the story.— He was supposed to enjoy the blessings of the world and the favor of fate.

But now, the world's attention… was slipping away from him.

And that damn "variable" kept pulling new tricks—

"She created J-Point currency and people actually believe in it?!""Even that Snowball thing became a cult mascot?!""Her so-called villainous senior brothers—all redeemed???"

A chilling voice echoed from the system:

[Whiteblank System Contingency Activated]

[You are now designated as the "Legitimate Script Restorer"]

[Next Directive: Persuade Xu Nian to return to the script, or all her faction's resources and privileges will be frozen]

[If you fail — real-world consequences will begin.]

Xiao Yunchen's eyes darkened.

"...It's time she remembers who the protagonist really is."

[Meanwhile · Real World · Sunlight Capital Headquarters]

Sunlight Capital, one of the real-world corporations backing the script-driven "Immersive Cultivation Experience Program", had long supported the system's "Protagonist Traffic Initiative".

Now, they had shifted their sights to the real-world operations behind Xu Nian's in-game faction.

"She's not only playing with currency in the game—she's tampering with payment systems in reality. That's serious overreach."

Lin Wanzhou, the real-world agent of Whiteblank System and CFO of Sunlight Group, stood silently in the high-level executive meeting.

A voice questioned coldly:

"Are you still in contact with Xu Nian privately?"

Lin Wanzhou didn't answer.

In her mind, an image surfaced—a memory from the Mind Trial instance, when Xu Nian had saved her from a collapsing illusion and pressed a "Temporary J-Point Account Card" into her hand.

"You're not a tool.""You can choose."

Her lips tightened.

"...No comment."

[System Alert · Game World]

[Real-world suppression syncing with in-game consequences]Xu Nian's faction will face the following:

Resource market temporarily frozen

Public teleport arrays disabled for 3 days

All J-Point-supporting NPCs' reputation dropped

Community forum visibility manually reduced

[Xuanqing Sect · War Council Hall]

"They've initiated the lockdown."Xie Linyuan crushed the intel jade slip.

"There's someone moving on the real-world front too—our payment node has been flagged."Lu Jin's tone was icy.

"Already trying cross-border suppression?"Bai Qi raised an eyebrow while scanning data."Do they think we don't have a response plan?"

"It's time to fight back."Shen Wang's gaze was calm and resolute.

Xu Nian stood at the center of the hall, sweeping her gaze across the room.

"The world doesn't believe in us… because it's never seen someone worth trusting."

"If they're blocking currency—then we…"

"We'll start a player-run bank."

[System Prompt: Hidden Instance Activated · Financial Liberalization Trial]

Name: Player Bank UnionCore Mechanic: Allows players to self-manage lending, borrowing, clearing, and collateral via J-PointStartup Requirements: 500 founding members + 3 real-world verified admins + 1 registered token asset pool

[Three Days Later · J-Point Official Announcement Posted]

[J-Point Bank Testnet Now Live]"We don't rely on the System.We don't rely on the Script.We rely on each other."— "Jiang Nian · Unified Declaration"

(Note: In your game setup, Xu Nian's in-game real-name is "Jiang Nian", linking the game and real world to form a real-impact player network.)

[Player Comment Section: Instant Explosion]

#She's launching a BANK?! Is she insane???

#Another day, another thing from Jiang Nian I don't understand…

#But hey, she did pay us yesterday. I work for her now!

#J-Point is literally changing the world…

The Whiteblank System, sensing the J-Point bank go live, issued an emergency countermeasure:

[Initiating Mainframe Consciousness Clash Trial]

Candidate "Xu Nian" has triggered world-deviation index limit.

Allied Protagonist Team: Authorization granted for full-scale PURGE.

Assigned Unit: The Protagonist Team

[Lingyun Sect · Protagonist Team Assembly]

Xiao Yunchen stood high in the clouds, his gaze like blades.

Shen Qingyan wore her charm amulet, voice low:

"Nian Nian… I'm sorry.But you were the one who betrayed the script."

A teleport array activated beneath them.

Target: Xuanqing Sect Outskirts · Player Bank Construction Site

[System Alert · Forced Romance Line Trigger Imminent]

Current Character: Shen Wang

Status: On the verge of emotional breakdown · Protection Protocol Activating

Shen Wang stood before Xu Nian, his blade slowly drawn as the story's purge army closed in.

"They're coming."

"This time, I won't ask you who you choose."

"You don't have to choose me."

"But you—cannot fall."

Xu Nian smiled and gently removed his sword tassel, tying it around her wrist.

"I won't fall."

"Because—I have all of you."
