Over here, the commotion grew increasingly intense, even escalating to physical altercations. Meanwhile, in a corner unnoticed by others, Olivia subtly curled the corners of her lips: Fight, fight, fight! The fiercer, the better! It would be even more perfect if a few people ended up dead or injured!
Olivia had always disliked Ostinello, detesting his arrogant and haughty demeanor. After all, they were both transmigrators, and she even had more advantages than him. So, what right did Ostinello have to look down on her?
Yes, that’s right—Olivia was a transmigrator, and so was Ostinello. However, Olivia knew that Ostinello was a transmigrator, while Ostinello remained unaware that Olivia was one as well.
The reason was simple: Olivia wasn’t just a transmigrator—she was a novel transmigrator.
The book Olivia had transmigrated into was a harem power-leveling wish-fulfillment novel with Ostinello as the male lead, and it was also a rather explicit adult story—
Ordinary, lethargic otaku Ostinello was struck by lightning on a rainy day and transmigrated to the continent of Lusarmond. Blessed with the dual talents of light and thunder magic and martial arts, he began his journey of overpowered exploits, collecting a harem and loyal followers along his path to godhood. In the end, he became a divine figure on Lusarmond, ruling the entire continent with his harem and subordinates before finally ascending to godhood as the first deity after the Twilight of the Gods.
This was a classic harem power-leveling story, but Olivia—a pure, submissive gay man—wasn’t typically drawn to such genres. However, she had seen her crush reading it.
Truthfully, Olivia’s crush had only flipped through it casually out of boredom, but Olivia, desperate to share common ground with him, forced herself to read it despite her disgust.
Who would’ve thought that she’d become so engrossed that she stayed up all night, only to suffer a car accident on her way to work due to sleep deprivation and lack of focus? And then, she found herself in Lusarmond, reborn as Ostinello’s younger brother.
Logically speaking, as the destined younger brother of the future god, Olivia could’ve simply clung to Ostinello’s coattails and risen to power alongside him. But instead, Olivia developed what she considered “love-turned-hatred” for Ostinello.
Well, to be more precise—only Olivia saw it as love-turned-hatred. In Ostinello’s eyes… As a proud transmigrator who believed he, like all others, was destined to dominate the continent and become the greatest, he never once regarded Olivia as anything more than an annoyance.
Ostinello’s parents, at least, still held some value in his eyes—after all, the Duke and Duchess’s connections, resources, and legacy were incredibly rich. Fully aware of their worth, Ostinello naturally worked hard to ingratiate himself with them.
After all, as the self-proclaimed legitimate eldest son, he believed all those things would eventually be his. What harm was there in taking some early?
As for Olivia? In Ostinello’s view, she was nothing more than a troublesome burden competing for affection and inheritance—someone inherently irritating.
As mentioned earlier, Olivia was attracted to men, and Ostinello, as the harem protagonist, had looks and physique beyond reproach. Olivia fell for him at first sight. Yet Ostinello held nothing but contempt and disdain for his younger brother.
Many incidents followed, but in the end, Olivia (self-proclaimed) felt that the man she loved had betrayed and trampled on her precious feelings, so she sought revenge. Leveraging her knowledge of the original plot, she worked tirelessly to disrupt Ostinello’s rapid progression, stealing the golden opportunities meant for him to bolster herself, all while developing swiftly before Ostinello could notice.
Surprisingly, perhaps due to Olivia’s greater patience, superior ability to disguise herself, and foreknowledge of events, her path turned out smoother than Ostinello’s. Though she often appeared to suffer at Ostinello’s hands, in terms of actual influence, Ostinello paled in comparison.
And so, Olivia (self-proclaimed), betrayed and trampled upon by the man she loved, decided to emulate Ostinello—by starting her own harem collection.
After all, Olivia intended to usurp Ostinello’s identity and status, walk his path so he’d have none left, and become the new ruler of the world. If Ostinello could have a harem, why couldn’t she? The only difference was that one harem was filled with women, while the other was filled with men.
Olivia’s targets for her harem were the outstanding male side characters and antagonists from the original plot—including Kurler and Yaronora, and even the dark, brooding, grief-stricken yet exceptionally handsome Dark Pope.
Olivia’s harem was truly diverse, a veritable garden of outstanding men of all types.
Not only that, but Olivia, feeling betrayed, had no intention of playing the chaste and virtuous role. Instead, she embarked on a journey of indulgence, bedding any man who caught her fancy. Whether things developed further… well, that depended on the circumstances.
Now, despite her relatively young age, Olivia’s list of conquests was already quite extensive.
This was also why Kurler had never held any fondness for Olivia. As the perceptive Holy Son of Light, for some reason, he was acutely sensitive to the aura of filth and corruption. Of course, he wouldn’t openly criticize or judge others’ lifestyles, but that didn’t mean he could remain calm when targeted.
Had he not met Davist, Kurler might not have minded toying with Olivia as a pet. But now? Just as he was happily enjoying a sweet romance with his boyfriend, an annoying third wheel kept disrupting the mood—how could Kurler possibly feel anything but dislike?
However, Olivia remained entirely unaware of Kurler and Davist’s relationship, because in the original plot, Kurler was nothing more than a short-lived background character.
In the original story, Kurler obtained a valuable artifact during a training expedition, only to be killed by Ostinello for it. This triggered a relentless pursuit by the Holy Light Church, which Ostinello later “reluctantly” eradicated, seizing the Church’s millennia-old wealth and kickstarting his religious conquest arc.
Olivia had always wanted to alter Kurler’s fate—if Kurler became hers, he’d naturally oppose Ostinello. Killing Ostinello would then avenge Kurler, and Kurler offering himself in gratitude would be the perfect outcome.
Just imagining Kurler bringing the entire Holy Light Church under her banner filled Olivia with delight.
But for now, Olivia remained oblivious to Kurler’s affairs, busy as she was setting traps for Ostinello while simultaneously working to charm Yaronora.
As for Sioser and Davist? Out of consideration for Yaronora and Kurler—and their status as roommates—Olivia might deign to share a night with them. But in the original plot, they were mere nameless extras. If they didn’t rise to prominence, allowing them into her harem would only lower her standards and taste. No, no, absolutely not!
But if they proved exceptional, outstanding, and renowned… well, given their looks, she might just reserve a spot for them.
Olivia: Yes, that’s right—I’m just that outstanding, kind, elegant, and extraordinary. Truly, I am the Child of Destiny, the protagonist of fate!
Olivia’s gaze inadvertently swept over Yaronora, who had been drawn to the commotion while out for leisure. She grew even more convinced that Yaronora was destined for her harem—why else would he coincidentally witness her “kind, responsible, fragile, tender…” and utterly outstanding side? Was this not the guidance of fate?
Olivia casually adjusted her hair before putting on an act and approaching Yaronora. Perfectly, Sioser—who had been with Yaronora earlier—was now absent. Olivia was delighted: Just the right opportunity for some one-on-one bonding.
“Yaronora, it’s wonderful to see you here! What a fortunate coincidence! Though I’m ashamed you had to witness such a scene… I… *sigh*.”
Originally, Olivia should’ve addressed him as “Yaronora Beixiun,” but she preferred the intimacy of his first name. Her tone shifted seamlessly—from initial joy to shame at having exposed her “family’s ugly side,” then to fragile melancholy designed to stir a man’s protective instincts.
Layer upon layer, it was practically flawless.
Yaronora scratched his head, genuinely embarrassed, his eyes darting around as he searched for an escape.
It wasn’t that he had any particular issue with Olivia—in fact, between the Lexi brothers, Yaronora had always favored Olivia. But Kurler had repeatedly warned him to stay away, insisting Olivia was even more cunning and sinister than Ostinello.
Between someone he barely knew and a longtime friend, Yaronora’s loyalty naturally leaned toward Kurler.
Moreover, the higher-ups were indeed planning to move against the Lexi family. As a representative of the Beixiun family, it really wasn’t appropriate for him to get involved. Hence, his current dilemma.
