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

[Heart-Seeking Realm · Day Five · Night]

Thunder split the sky. Space fractured.

The Protagonist Team was on the verge of collapse.

In the original plot, this was the moment when Xiao Yunchen, the male lead, should've completed his heavenly tribulation, smoothly built his foundation, and ascended—causing widespread amazement and triggering Phase Two of his protagonist arc.

But due to a certain someone being too alive (yes, that's you), the plotline broke prematurely.The tribulation spiraled out of control.The secret realm began to collapse.Even Shen Qingyan was nearly swept away by the backlash.

Meanwhile, by the spirit spring—

Xu Nian fell silent for a moment.Then she slowly reached out… and gently took Shen Wang's hand.

He froze.

Xu Nian looked at him, eyes calm but resolute.

"Just now, you asked me—if I could look only at you."

"I do."

"But I also see the world—because all of you are in it. I won't let it fall."

"So I won't choose who matters more."

"I choose—to make myself matter."

The system: "???"

[Host, are you insane?! Do you even know what the success rate for that choice is?!]

[It's less than 12%!! You're actually picking it??]

Xu Nian:

"Didn't you say I now have Fate Choice Authority?"

[…Yes, but only Lv.1!!!]

"Then I'll level up."

"I want this story—"

"To turn around for me!"

A glowing fragment suddenly appeared in her hand—It was a Residual Script Shard she had obtained in the Fate Trial, a remnant of the world's narrative code.

She poured spiritual energy into it, forcibly activating a hidden command—

[Script Repair – Manual Insertion Point Activated]

BOOM!!!

The entire Heart-Seeking Realm trembled slightly.

The system shrieked in horror:

[WAIT—What are you doing?! That's the plot control node—]

"I'm breaking in."

"I'm saving people."

"I'm falling in love."

"And I'm staying alive."

In that moment, Shen Wang understood everything.

A rare glimmer of awe passed through his eyes, and he let out a soft laugh.

"...No wonder I like you. Makes perfect sense now."

Next second—he drew his sword.

With one strike, he tore open a spatial rift.

Bai Qi followed close behind, smiling faintly:

"Little sister makes the choices—I'll handle the cleanup."

Xie Linyuan froze the space:

"I'll crush anyone in the Protagonist Team who dares touch her."

Lu Jin tossed out a full alchemy array:

"Enough talking. Wherever she goes, I go."

Yungui whispered incantations:

"Teleport coordinates locked. Preparing to jump."

Snowball: "Squeak—!!!"

Six figures surged forward, crashing headlong into the battlefield where the protagonist team faced annihilation.

[Meanwhile – At the Tribulation Center]

The Protagonist Team was gravely wounded.

Xiao Yunchen could barely stand.Blood surged chaotically in his veins.His eyes were dazed and unfocused.

Shen Qingyan clutched him, face pale with shock:

"What's happening?! This wasn't in the script—I checked his fate trajectory. He should be at his peak right now!"

"Why is everything falling apart?!"

Inside the system's narrative engine, answers echoed silently:

—Because the one who was supposed to die… lived.—Because she reclaimed her right to choose.—Because she no longer cooperates.

BOOM!

Just as the next heavenly strike was about to fall—The space twisted violently.A streak of white-blue sword light split open the heavens.

Shen Wang's sword clashed with the thunderbolt. His gaze was icy as a blade.

"She said she wanted to save people—So I'll do the cutting."

Snowball, now crackling with lightning, dove from the sky:

"Squeak—Thundery Furball Shield!!!"

Xu Nian stood at the center of the light, one hand holding the glowing plot fragment, the other forming a Soul-Calming Array.

"System—override the narrative flow."

"Engage—Neutral Mode: Plot Stabilization Phase."

The system completely short-circuited:

[YOUYOUYOUYOUYOU—YOU'RE A CHEAT CODE COME TO LIFE!!!]

[Plot Adjustment in Progress… Protagonist Team Survival Thread Restored]

[New Host Tag Generated: Fate Interferer (Lv.2)]

[You have successfully completed Narrative Chaos Insertion.]

The thunder faded.Skylight returned.

The Protagonist Team collapsed to the ground.

Shen Qingyan, face deathly pale, stared at Xu Nian approaching step by step.

For the first time, she asked plainly:

"Who… are you, really?"

Xu Nian smiled softly, eyes serene:

"I'm Xu Nian."

"The junior sister of this crazy bunch."

"A disciple of Xuanqing Sect."

"The one who crawled out of the script—And now writes her own fate."

"Is that not enough?"

The system whispered beside her ear:

[…You're kinda cool right now.]

[Plot deviation: 72%]

[Protagonist Team's stance toward you: Severely shaken]

[You have now become—the new center of this world.]

That night.

Everyone returned to the outer edge of the realm.The senior brothers took turns standing guard outside her tent.

As for Shen Wang—He sat alone at the peak, quietly watching the peach tree in full bloom.

Bai Qi approached silently, voice low:

"Did you see?"

Shen Wang: "Mm."

Bai Qi:

"She's no longer the little girl we needed to protect."

Shen Wang said nothing, just clenched the sword at his waist.

—But in his heart, one thought echoed:

Even so… I still want to be the senior brother who could cleave the heavens for her.

Meanwhile, deep within the system space—

Xu Nian finally received her first true system update notice:

[Congratulations, Host—You have entered the Fate Protagonist Tier.]

[You are no longer a supporting character in someone else's story.]

[Your own main storyline—has now begun.]
