Before We Begin
This game is a story-driven visual novel featuring dual protagonists and parallel narrative threads, in which the player takes on the role of ‘the System’.
Game Overview
The Truth Record Manual
‘It’s just a novel—why take it so seriously?’
‘It’s just a story I’ve made up.’
‘It’s all an act—we’re filming a movie.’
“I had a really vivid dream yesterday!”
“That charlatan fortune-teller on the street actually told me…”
True • False
——————————————————————————————
You’ve got a rare day off today and are planning to find a feel-good novel to relax your mind.
“What on earth is this rubbish??? Why did the female lead die?” “Isn’t this supposed to be a feel-good novel? Why is it so frustrating?” “Scam! Pure scam!” “Was this actually written by a human?” 1 star! 1 star!! 1 star!!! All negative reviews, all negative reviews! Your precious day off! Completely wasted! You furiously type out one negative review after another.
Suddenly, the screen in your hand flickers
- Are you troubled by seeing nothing but illogical rubbish? Are you furious that the protagonist is putting up with all this humiliation? Are you disappointed by the plot suddenly falling apart…
Come on then, sign up to become the System, become the protagonist’s most powerful ally, and put [all] stories back on track…
You have been assigned to a low-rated, now-delisted novel titled *Mistaken Heiress: When the Fake Heiress Arrives, the Real Heiress Goes Mad*
[View the original plot summary]
Chen Jiaojiao (the fake heiress)
Liu Yingnan (the real heiress)
[Chen Jiaojiao, who had been spoilt rotten, broke down upon discovering she was an imposter. Like a fool, she schemed to frame her sister, who had appeared out of the blue, fearing that this terrifying sister—who seemed like a malevolent spirit—would snatch away everything that belonged to her. Liu Yingnan’s first decade or so of life felt like an absurd and suffocating nightmare; she could not fathom why she had to endure all this, and so she resented everyone. Liu Yingnan would do everything to the highest standard; to get everything she wanted, she wouldn’t hesitate to resort to a few… underhand tactics.]
On the surface, this seems no different from any other melodramatic ‘true and false heiress’ novel, but as the story neared its conclusion, the plot fell apart.
All the major characters died, readers went on a rampage with low ratings and scathing reviews, the novel was abandoned, and it ended without a conclusion.
As the system, your mission is to alter this ‘everyone dies’ plotline, help your host achieve a happy ending, complete the entire story, and bring the novel to a perfect conclusion.

Gameplay Guide
1. Choose one of the ‘True Heiress’ or ‘False Heiress’ to be your host, and accompany her from the age of 14 until the end of the story. The two protagonists offer different perspectives; players may select the background and setting that most interests them. Both storylines are independent and complete; choosing just one host will not affect the gaming experience. Once the player has been selected as the host by the system, a new timeline is unlocked. In each timeline, the characters possess ‘different’ personalities and endings; their destinies will unfold according to your interventions and choices.
2. Players can alter the course of the story by assigning tasks to their host; upon completion of a task, they will earn ‘points’. Please note ⚠️: Your host may not always obey you, and tasks are not guaranteed to be completed simply because they have been assigned.
⒊ Each of the two storylines features over 40 supporting characters, who may assist your host, create obstacles, or become a close friend who shares her trials and tribulations.
Some 【key supporting characters】 can be exchanged for personal storylines using 【points】 in the system shop.
⒋ The system dashboard also offers many more interesting little features.
Note: In the demo, Liu Yingnan’s storyline does not feature any available quests, allowing for a more immersive narrative experience, whilst Chen Jiaojiao’s storyline includes a large number of optional quests and supporting character storylines, enabling a comprehensive exploration of the gameplay.
