My expression soured by the second.

Was he trying to seduce me now to raise affection levels?

Even with his charm significantly reduced, such tacky attempts wouldn’t…

[SYSTEM] Using item .

[SYSTEM] Charm increases by +500. (Charm: 499)

[SYSTEM] Using item .

[SYSTEM] Charm increases by +500. (Charm: 999)

His charm level suddenly surged to the maximum.

‘Those damn pay-to-win items!’

[SYSTEM] Activating special skill . Please name the target.

“Louibelle Ajester.”

He looked straight at the system window and uttered my name.

[SYSTEM] is now under the charmed state.

[SYSTEM] It’s now easier to increase ‘s affection.

Thud!

Suddenly, my heart beat uncontrollably, and heat rushed to my face.

‘What…?’

I was shocked and incredulous.

I immediately understood what state I was in.

[SYSTEM] ‘s affection increases by +100. (Affection: 899)

[SYSTEM] ‘s affection increases by +200. (Affection: 699)

[SYSTEM] ‘s affection increases by +140. (Affection: 559)

The notification sounds and Hezhen’s smirking lips enraged me.

“You, what are you doing…!”

I grabbed Hezhen by the collar.

My anger was still at its peak, and naturally, my strength was extraordinarily high.

But strangely, I couldn’t hit him.

Instead of striking him, every touch made my heart flutter.

‘Damn it! This cursed affection system!’

I instantly realized.

This damn skill effect had put me in a charmed state, and the affection system was restraining me.

It was horrifying.

Feeling my body act against my will sent shivers down my spine.
“But my lovely arsonist Loulou, if you become my partner during the Emperor’s birthday celebration, I’ll pretend I don’t know about the fire you’ve set in my heart. What do you say?”

No! Absolutely not!

The Emperor’s birthday celebration would be a place with the most attention. Hezhen was determined to achieve his awakening through my death.

Besides, partnering with him meant providing an excuse to increase his affection.

I had to reject his despicable offer immediately.

However, my body, acting against my will, was about to nod in agreement to his proposal.

Suddenly, I felt a strong force pulling me away from Hezhen.

The notifications of increasing affection ceased, and a white cape fluttered before my eyes.

“What are you doing now!”

Hezhen’s angry voice rang out.

Looking up, I saw the familiar sight of silvery white hair glowing under the soft moonlight.

It was none other than Prince Sallot Anselot, who had previously threatened me menacingly!

“Tch. Some lowlife trying to steal my cute little mouse.”

Sallot clicked his tongue in annoyance at Hezhen.

“What did you just mumble?”

Hezhen bristled, to which Anselot replied with a sly smirk.

“Louibelle has promised to be my partner throughout this ball.”

What? Me? When…?

Blinking in confusion at his proud declaration, Anselot turned and gave me a knowing smile.

“You promised, Your Highness. You allowed me to be by your side while I’m in the empire.”

“Ah…? Ah…!”

Realization dawned on me, and I gasped stupidly.

‘That’s one way to interpret it…’

Thinking back, it made sense.

To serve in the ‘closest’ capacity, naturally, the role of my partner would belong to him.

“Is that true, Loulou?”

Hezhen’s eyes wavered, seemingly a bit shaken.

“Yes.”

A clearer voice escaped my lips.

‘The system’s coercion has been lifted.’

Anselot’s prior promise had naturally overridden Hezhen’s partnership request.

Relief, or something akin to it, washed over me.

“Sorry, Hezhen. I can’t accept your partnership request.”

“No way…!”

Hezhen shouted in disbelief.

“When did…? Then, the negative affection earlier, was it because of this man…? You cheated on me with him?”

“What nonsense? You were the one cheating.”

I was about to retort to his brazen accusation when…

[SYSTEM] Bug Detected!

[SYSTEM] Bug Detected!

A flurry of warning tones and system notifications appeared.

‘A bug…?’

I stopped arguing with Hezhen to look at the system window.

[SYSTEM] Unexpected bug detected! Adjusting the system!

[SYSTEM] Unexpected bug detected! Adjusting the system!

[SYSTEM] Removing the bug…!

[SYSTEM] Removing the bug…!

But the chaotic system alerts didn’t last long.

“Tch.”

Anselot clicked his tongue coldly.

“Caught again.”

He had shattered the system window.

“So bothersome.”

With a twisted smirk, he looked at Hezhen and me.

Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)

One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.

Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

※※※

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

Three days later, neither of them had woken up.

Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.

Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.

The entire internet was in an uproar.

After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

※※※

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.

Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”

“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”

Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”

Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”

At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.

[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]

①Male pregnancy (highlighted)

The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
