Hated to Mate

The beast world pairs a woman with beastmen husbands, and the strongest of them are ranked S-class. Teresa Sidley wakes up in that world in the body of a heavy supporting villain, a fake princess whose five S-class husbands hate her. The worst of them, a snake, pushes her off a cliff. A system in her head keeps score of how the men feel about her. It starts her at minus ninety-nine and sets the terms: bring the score to its maximum and she can change her body and get back to the world she came from. She goes into the polluted zone with the others, cooks for them, and earns their trust that way. One woman in the group works to discredit her, and she is set up more than once and put in danger. The score climbs and the men come round to her. Her own feelings move too, most of all toward the one who takes the shape of a nine-tailed fox. A new danger closes on the group, and the same snake that pushed her off the cliff has her backed against a wall.
