USING YOU.

❝one way or another, my brother needs to live.
you have to keep him safe. leave me and protect him.
make a contract with him if you must.❞

    LIVING beings go on with
    their lives by mere chance
    Will you be alive tomorrow,
    or will you face death?

These were Keiko's words to Jiang Lihua.

She was supposed to die at the bottom of a lake, but she had never wanted to die that way. If she had to die, she wanted it to mean something. More than anything, she wanted the people she loved to be safe from the devils that plagued their world.

Ever since making a contract with a devil, Lihua's life had been anything but ordinary. She had accepted that this was the life she would have, even if it was never the one she wanted.

Then came a foolish boy who gave her nothing but headaches and heartaches. Somehow, she fell for him anyway.

Hayakawa Denji. Her sweet Denji. The boy she couldn't stop thinking about. The boy who seemed to have eyes only for her mother.

But Lihua loved him anyway. Even when it hurt. Even when she knew she might never be the one he wanted. In a world where devils could take everything from her, loving Denji was just another risk she couldn't bring herself to give up.

And if she wanted to live long enough to see another day, she'd have to learn how to survive a world that was just as cruel as her own heart.

WARNING.

01 ── Using You will contain the following: strong language, graphic depictions of violence & gore, slow burn, angst, mature scenes, slight bullying, traumas, deaths, pedophilia, makima, and other things that might upset readers.

DISCLAIMER.

01 ── i do not own chainsaw man or any other characters except my ocs and non-canon plots.

02 ── there will also be additional scenes or changed plots following this fic's storyline.

03 ── all rights and credits are to their rightful owners.

NOTES.

01 ── this story is centered around my ocs, non-canon plots, and focuses on my ocs' growth. and i wanted to write this fic with shorter chapters so, expect them to change through time.

02 ── since the Jiang siblings are Chinese, this book will use some Chinese words, but will not be written in pinyin. i will add the translation next to the words I use.

03 ── my OC's abilities are somewhat similar to death, but not quite. she isn't the Death Devil, but rather a kind of Doomsday Devil. doomsday refers to the Last Judgment, the end of the world, catastrophic destruction, or an unavoidable disastrous fate.

that said, i promise her abilities won't overlap with the Death Devil's. at least, not as far as i understand it! her powers are more closely tied to luck and how it can influence someone's fate.

i won't spoil too much, though. you'll have to read the story to get a better understanding of her abilities and how they work!

04 ── feedback is always appreciated (votes, comments, etc)! this book will be a slow update. also, english is not my first language so, please beware of some mistakes.
