Appearance
Events Planning
Goals for Early
- Establish her identity, her feeling inferior to Yaling and Cinean and Weilan, and the story about the lady friend and the handholding.
- Show off her love and current yearning through the devotion, but also through narration. Though she is not sexually intense about it due to her hormonal issues, she really misses him and is deeply hurt by his inattention though she tries to hide it.
- Establish her relationships with the household staff. Her religiosity that's off-putting to other servants.
- Jealous of Weilan/Cinean/Archivist (Winny) at the same time, the ordering doesn't matter. But in the beginning the archivist shouldn't stand out particularly strongly. She's supportive of Weilan early and the jealousy grows, it's just a deep inferiority complex.
- Has trained a bit with some of the military from childhood, so she has a reason to interact, and notice Winny.
For archivist progression:
- First see her jealousy when archivist spends time with MC
- Then notice questionable interactions with military personnel
- Finally develop real suspicions
- All while showing specific jealousies about other women too
- Zhenzhen could find it suspicious that winny is writing and sending letters instead of using the scn through the count’s free networker
- Since this is her only real clue it comes off as weak and easily explainable
- She should only mention archivist stuff to jiaolong, she should be seeing it through the lense of petty drama after seeing archivist interact with you and getting jealous. She's not actually a spymaster just got lucky this one time.
- For romance:
- Develop throughout all interactions
- Show specific scheduling discussions with Jiaolong
- Detail her reactions to MC's small kindnesses
- Include specific conversations and memories
The Pet/Roulan Mystery Structure:
- For The Pet scenes - need to build up through multiple hints across several events before any actual Pet performance scene
Early Game Introduction Track:
- The Pet is introduced through Zhenzhen's reports
- Emphasis on total submission and unique training
- Described as an elite sex slave who have had all 4 limbs removed after the knee/elbows as well as tonue and teeth removed.
- Especially dedicated to loving the MC, not just in body but in mind as well, Zhenzhen made sure her whole purpose was to serve the MC and be constantly in desire of him.
- Zhenzhen subtly suggesting MC should "make use" of this asset
- Roulan introduced separately through flashbacks
- Childhood friend who disappeared
- Sweet, competitive relationship
- Someone who challenged MC's authority
- No hint of current status
- Initial Pet Scenes
- Shown as limbless, utterly broken sex slave
- Focus on current state without background
- Zhenzhen's careful maintenance and training
- The Pet's complete submission and happiness in serving
- Roulan Memory Scenes
- Scattered through other character routes
- Build picture of who she was
- Show mounting tension before her punishment
- Never directly connect to The Pet
The Reveal:
- Comes later in a climatic sex scene
- Impact hits harder because readers have seen both:
- The sweet childhood friend in flashbacks
- The broken sex slave in present
- Makes Zhenzhen's careful training of her more disturbing in retrospect
So early Zhenzhen events should:
- Refer to The Pet without naming
- Show her care without revealing background
- Maintain ambiguity about how much she knows
- Focus on present submission rather than past
