Synopsis

Winnie, filled with hesitation and ambition, confessed his long-hidden feelings to his childhood sweetheart, the princess, in front of a large crowd, only to be brutally rejected.
The roses were mercilessly crushed underfoot, and the young girl indifferently walked away.
Amidst countless jeers, he collapsed to the ground and fainted.
Upon waking, he suddenly recalled memories of his past life, realizing he had transmigrated into a yuri-themed game he had played in his previous life.
“Great,” he thought, “I must be a side character destined to steal the protagonist’s love interest.”
However, he soon discovered he had become the last descendant of a fallen Saintness family, a tragic figure scorned by all, with no magical talent whatsoever, a cannon fodder villain.
His rivals included:
– A regressed phoenix prodigy, a woman who loves women, harbors extreme hatred for men, and has a personal vendetta against him.
– The kingdom’s princess, his childhood sweetheart, whose favorability towards him is in the negatives.
– A fox demon empress who sees him as nothing more than a tool and a plaything.
– An elven queen who inexplicably despises him to the core.
– The empire’s eldest princess, his former fiancée.
In the end, he is destined to be beheaded under the scene of the phoenix prodigy and the princess sharing a kiss.
Winnie thought, “Transmigration must be fun, haha. Fun my ass! In yuri games, men don’t even have the right to choose their partners!”
He knew all too well that as an NPC, only by enhancing his strength could he survive.
But why did awakening his family’s bloodline turn him into a beautiful girl?
For the sake of becoming stronger, he endured it!
She took up the fallen mission of her family and became the new saint, the center of attention.
Yet, these female leads all wanted to dominate the saint!
“Saintess, you wouldn’t want others to know your secret, would you~” the phoenix prodigy gently stroked her feathers, her voice charming and seductive.

Editor's Note

💡 Genderbend (GB) is a niche trope, but this novel turns it into a high-stakes survival comedy. Winnie is transmigrated into a Yuri game where men are essentially background fodder or "beheading targets." His only survival path? Awakening a bloodline that turns him into a beautiful Saintess. The tension here isn't just about fighting monsters; it’s about a "Shura Field" (messy harem battlefield) where female leads who originally hated his male self are now obsessed with his female form. It’s wholesome, hilarious, and features some of the best character banter in the genre.

Experience Curve

Vol 1: Ch. 1–150 (The Awakening): ⭐⭐⭐ – The Slow Burn. The beginning is a bit cliché as Winnie navigates the rejection and awakens his "Vanessa" (female) form. It takes a moment to find its footing, but once the dual-identity antics begin, the quality spikes.

Vol 2: Ch. 1–127 (The Social Web): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Peak. The chemistry between Winnie and the original "Lily Harem Master" (Aesphyra) is legendary. This volume masters the "banter porn" and the delicious tension of hidden identities.

Vol 3: Ch. 1–156 (The Deepening): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Expansion. The romance becomes more ambiguous and emotional. The Heroines begin to fall for both versions of the MC, creating a psychological tug-of-war.

Vol 4 (Ongoing) – 13+ Chapters: TBD – The story continues to explore the escalating "Shura Field" and the consequences of the MC's dual life.

(Note: This novel is structured in distinct, numbered Volumes. Each Volume restarts its chapter count from 1.)

WebNovelDB Review

8 /10
A Wholesome and Hilarious Take on Genderbend Survival. The Good: Character Chemistry Over Power Fantasy. The novel excels in its bickering, tsundere dynamic. Winnie is a refreshingly flawed and wholesome protagonist whose banter with the original "harem queen" Aesphyra creates a genuinely entertaining and often heartwarming core. The Trade-Off: Embracing the Tropes. The story fully leans into the conventions of its genre: prolonged secret identities, comedic misunderstandings, and a protagonist who stumbles into success. Readers seeking a tight plot or a hyper-competent schemer may find the pacing and premise test their patience. For Fans Of: Ranma ½ (gender-swap antics), I Favor the Villainess (yuri-game setting), and stories where romantic tension is the primary conflict. Not For You If: You dislike the genderbend trope, need fast-paced action, or have a low tolerance for protagonists who keep a secret identity through continuous near-misses.
