An Unseemly Lady

In a reverse harem story, I am the cherished younger sister of the heroine. After recovering from a severe illness, I find myself doted on by her more than ever. I decide to use this affection to confront the story’s original, flawed male leads who have caused my sister pain. Strangely, these suitors now seem eager to win my favor, offering treats and sweet words through me. But when one boy insults me, calling me ugly, I respond not to him, but by turning to my sister. I quietly tug her sleeve and declare my dislike for him—and by extension, the friend who brought him. In that moment, Cedric’s expression falls, as if facing a grim fate.
