1 The Plan

Standing in front of a copper mirror, Wen Tu gave her blurry reflection a reassuring smile. This look is perfect! Hehe, her little brother, must surely be impressed with her handiwork this time! It's perhaps her best attempt made yet!

"So, what do you think?" Turning around, she flashed her little brother, a proud smile. "Quite impressive, isn't it, A-Kuai," and posed her little brother.

"It's terrible," the little boy bluntly responded. A-Kuai gave Wen Tu a look of disinterest as he scanned his sister's measly attempt at cross-dressing. Her loose-fitting robes did nothing to conceal her womanly curves, and to make her face more 'masculine,' she had merely spread some dirt on her face to cover her smooth and pale skin. Not to mention, her white hair sloppily laid in a bun. "As if anyone would fall for your half-assed attempt," he replied with a bored tone.

"What? I thought I did pretty good!" And checked her appearance out in the copper mirror, she flashed her self another self-satisfied smile. "I think it encapsulates what the human male species. If anything, I think I did an almost too good job, A-Kuai!"

"Ah, huh," the boy drawled as he continued to watch his sister pose in the mirror. "Yes, of course, mortal women just love men who have feminine figures and messy faces," he jabbed.

Wen Tu winched slightly at her brother's remark. "Well, I'm trying my best," she pouted. Why must he strike down her pride?

"Well, your best sucks," he criticized. "I doubt that girl would want to be anywhere near you, based on your looks alone. You look like some pervert."

"Rude!" Glaring at her brother with her large watery eyes, she stuck out her pink tongue at him, which he returned with a scoff.

"Aiyah, remind why you are doing this again?" A-Kuai shook his head. "Watching you prance around in male clothing is weird."

"Ah, A-Kuai, you know why," Wen Tu sighed.

"Yes, yes, for love," he shook his head. "I still don't know why you are going for a mortal girl."

"Well, it's to repay a favor," she blushed as she recalled the incident that leads to her encounter with her savior.

When she was out in the forest, scavaging for some food, she met some danger along the way. And when she means some, she says a lot! It just so happens to be her misfortune to meet that measly fox again, Hu Dan.

Tsk, that fox would not give up. Whenever she would meet that creep, he would either try to bully her or seduce her! Just the other day, he said that if she married him, then he would stop bullying her.

Even though Wen Tu can be rather dumb at times, she knew that there would be no way out of marriage with that sly fox! If anything, he would have an even better excuse to bully her even more!

Hmph! Did he that she would be that stupid?

However, it seemed that the fox wouldn't take no for an answer that day as he kept on getting in her personal space.

And then there! Her savior had come out of the forest bush and came to her rescue! Oh, how gallant she looked with her heroic apparel and androgynous face!

Once her savior shooed away that dirty fox, the way she had swept Wen Tu off her feet. Ah! She knew that she had to marry her! Only her savior was able to make her heart beat faster than her rabbit heart could handle!

And then her savior said these very blessed words upon her, 'Come to my house if you ever get bullied, okay little bunny?'

"Aiyah! You should have been there, A-Kuai! My savior has no rival when it comes to looks or morals!"

"Argh! I know!" The little boy bit out and covered his ears. "You've told me this story all week! Just tell me why you need to cross-dress to see her again? Can't you meet her in your normal form?"

"Oh!" Wen Tu snapped out of her lovey-dovey trance, and her smile deflated to a down trotted expression. "Well, a few days ago, I heard some villagers talk about my savior, saying that she remains unwed. And that they began to say some nasty rumor about her because of it. Therefore, I planned on dressing up a man to court her in marriage." Wen Tu's eyes began to sparkle as she narrated her ingenious plan. "Also," she mumbled, "I am worried that she wouldn't accept my marriage proposal if she knew I was a woman, so…"

"So you decided you dress up as a man for a lesser chance of being rejected," A-Kuai concluded.

"Yep! That's correct!" Wen Tu nodded. "What do you think of your Big Sis's ingenious plan?"

"Hah," A-Kuai sighed as he rubbed the center of his brows. "And how you do plan on making this work?"

"Well, I was going to use the oldest trick in the book!"

"Wounded animal."

"Wounded animal!" Wen Tu cheered. "You got it right! You're so smart, A-Kuai!"

A-Kuai could only shake his head even more at his sister's bizarre tactics. "And assuming, that this plan, miraculously works outs," he sighed. "Which already is a stretch, what do you plan on doing afterward?"

"Afterwards?"

"When she finds out that you're female?"

"Oh," Wen Tu pondered. "Well, I haven't thought that far. I've only planned on us being lovey-dovey for the rest of our lives and us having many children!"

"How are you," A-Kuai questioned before giving up. "You know what! Fine! Whatever, don't die!" There is no hope in trying to get any sense into his crazy sister. Even though she is a rabbit demon, at times, Wen Tu can be as stubborn as a mule. "You know what mortals do whenever they discover us demons."

"Ah, I doubt my savior would be so cold-hearted as to kill this cute sister!" And flashed her little brother her signature watery-eyed pout, hoping that he would see her point.

He remained unfazed as he mentally lit some incenses for his sister and potentially new big sister-in-law.

"Well," A-Kuai sighed, residing to his sister's stubbornness. "If you are trying to dress like a man, might as well let me help," and hopped his seat to walk over to his older sister.

"Aw, A-Kuai," she smiled, holding her hand to her heart. "You're letting me do this?"

"Seeing as I could not change your mind before," he shrugged, "I might as well help you succeed in some way." He scanned his sister up and down. "First, let's start with these," and pointed to Wen Tu's unbound breasts.

For the next few hours, Wen Tu could only describe it as hell! Her brother mercilessly bound up her girls until she could barely breathe.

"Remember! Do it for love," he ordered as he tightened the bind until her breast practically laid flat. Thus leaving her behind only a small hump of where her chest would be.

"For love!" Wen Tu gasped as her brother pulled tighter on the wrappings. This pain is all for love!

Finally, her torment was over, and she observed the fruits of their labor. Standing in front of the copper mirror was a young scholarly youth dawned in white and blue robes. Her long white hair was tried back into the neat bun atop her head, secured with a simple silver crown. Her face fresh and clean, and her eyes bright and youthful.

"Haha! This look is exactly what I in mind!" Wen Tu gasped as she leaned closer to the mirror to take in her new appearance. "All of that pain was worth it!" Spinning around, she gleamed at her younger brother. "It's not half bad, A-Kuai!"

"I aim for half-good too, you know," A-Kuai drawled as he took in his hard work. Even though it was rough for him to dress up his country bumpkin sister into a polished young man, he had to admit she had come out nicely. "And you look good. I'm sure your savior would fall for you at first sight."

Wen Tu softly smiled and held out her arms. "Come here."

"Why?"

"Just come here. Let me hug you," smiled.

"No," he shook his head.

"Please?" She pouted slightly.

"Ugh, fine," he groaned as he slowly walked into his sister's waiting arms. "Ooof! That's too tight!" He bit out as his sister's arms drastically tightened around his small frame.

"Now, you know how my breasts feel! Haha, that will teach you!" Wen Tu laughed as she watched her brother struggle to get out of her iron grip.

"That's it. I'm never going to help you again! Or give you any hugs!" A-Kuai cried out in humiliation and rage.

"Haha, okay, okay," she said as she tried to calm down the angry boy. "Don't be mad, sister is sorry."

"Hmph!" A-Kuai pouted in injustice. "It better not happen again!"

"Yes, yes, big sister won't do that again."
