Xia Lun stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling as though his soul had been drained from his body. Even lifting a single finger felt exhausting.
He was... spent.
For the first time, facing Aina left him this powerless.
“Ha, haha, hahaha...”
Aina squinted, letting out a triumphant laugh. Her disheveled silver hair spilled over her shoulders, a few strands clinging to her sweaty cheeks, trembling lightly with her laughter.
“Xia Lun, didn’t expect this, did you? Look at you now!” Aina wasn’t in great shape either, but she had truly won. She staggered to her feet, her long legs trembling slightly, one foot pressing into the soft mattress while the other hovered symbolically over Xia Lun’s chest without any real weight—a conqueror’s pose.
The drug hit hard, making Xia Lun feel as if he had regressed to an ordinary man. The result? Aina had utterly crushed him.
Aina had spent a round of stamina that consumed what would have taken Xia Lun two rounds... This was unprecedented.
Xia Lun grabbed Aina’s ankle in frustration. The delicate touch stirred something in him, but he yanked it sharply anyway. The still-arrogant Aina lost her balance instantly and toppled backward onto Xia Lun.
Bang—
Xia Lun’s body curled slightly. Though Aina wasn’t heavy, the back of her head slammed into him painfully.
“Ugh... Xia Lun, move that damn thing of yours away.” Now lying face-to-face, Aina’s composure began to crack, her cheeks flushing.
“Aina, you can’t do that. You should be polite—apologize to it right now!” Xia Lun coughed lightly, offended on behalf of his little self.
“Hah? How is that possible? Are you dreaming?” Aina scoffed. “A mere loser under my thumb... Do you want me to trample you again, Xia Lun?”
Xia Lun, filled with indignation, began resisting the tyrant’s oppression, wrestling with Aina on the bed in a playful scuffle.
The blanket was kicked to the floor; the pillow became a weapon, wrestled back and forth between them; laughter filled the air.
After a moment, they collapsed together, panting.
“Aina...” Xia Lun patted her behind. Aina instinctively moved, only to realize he had no further moves planned.
Aina puffed out her cheeks.
“When will this drug wear off?”
Xia Lun couldn’t stand being under Aina’s thumb any longer. He longed to regain his strength and take back control.
“I don’t know,” Aina said mischievously, sticking out her tongue.
Xia Lun’s face darkened slightly.
“It should... should be soon! Don’t be mad, Xia Lun—I’ll give you a massage.” Aina circled behind him, placing her hands on his shoulders, morphing back into a doting wife. “With your constitution, it won’t affect you for long. Don’t worry.”
Her fingers pressed into his tense muscles with just the right amount of force, all while watching his expression.
Xia Lun stayed silent.
“Don’t be angry, Xia Lun. Don’t you dare be mad at me... you hear?” Aina leaned close to his ear, whispering sweetly, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe.
“I don’t hear anything,” Xia Lun turned away, ignoring her.
But Aina wasn’t worried. She still had her trump card. She shook his arm and pressed closer. “I just wanted to beat you for once, that’s all. You’re always so strong, and you make me feel so...”
Murmur, murmur.
Aina watched Xia Lun’s ears turn red at an alarming rate, a smug smile curling on her lips.
Just another Xia Lun, handled.
“Ai... Aina...” Xia Lun stared at her lips and her usually cool, composed face, unable to stop himself from asking, “How can you say things like that?”
“Oh?” Aina raised an eyebrow, then fired off their couple’s go-to line: “You don’t like it?”
Xia Lun was struck speechless.
Oh, he liked it way too much.
“Mian... seems to be hiding something from us.”
Having been crushed by Aina today, Xia Lun felt uncertain. He awkwardly changed the subject, his gaze wandering around the room.
“Oh?” Aina’s beautiful big eyes blinked, then she spoke chillingly: “So, you’ve made up your mind to sacrifice him? Don’t worry—I won’t let him feel an ounce of pain...”
Aina’s tone was as calm as a still lake, save for a flicker of sharpness in her eyes.
“Stop, stop!” Xia Lun quickly cut her off. “I’m not planning to sacrifice Mian yet.”
“Oh...” Aina’s expression remained unreadable.
Well, knowing Aina, she’d be fully aware that he wouldn’t give up on Mian easily... She’d played him again.
Xia Lun wasn’t angry. He pressed on: “Aina, what do you think?”
Aina tilted her head, her silver hair cascading like a waterfall. “Spying on him?”
Xia Lun: ...
With a wave, Aina conjured a water mirror. Its rippling surface slowly cleared, reflecting Mian’s room in crisp detail—even the letters on the pages of his book.
“Hey!” Xia Lun grabbed the blanket, covering both their still-naked bodies, lowering his voice with a rare hint of embarrassment. “What are you doing, Aina?”
“Relax, he can’t sense us, and he can’t hear us,” Aina said confidently, tapping the mirror to zoom in.
Xia Lun knew that... but it still felt wrong.
Cozy under the blanket, Xia Lun skillfully helped Aina into her nightgown by touch. The smooth fabric glided over her curves, a rather enjoyable process.
In the water mirror, Mian sat at his desk, poring over a grimoire. Occasionally, he scribbled notes on parchment with a quill.
Musen had shrunk into a palm-sized figure, standing on an open page, watching Mian’s every move to prevent any anomalies.
“This doesn’t show much,” Aina muttered after a while, growing bored. She yawned lazily.
Nothing seemed to happen during the day.
“Let’s wait until tonight.” Aina waved a hand, and the water mirror vanished into steam.
Then she sighed, rubbing her temple. “Sigh—”
“What’s wrong?”
“We’ll be busy tonight. Don’t feel like watching that kid,” Aina pouted. “It really does feel weird.”
“Should we take a day off?” Xia Lun suggested.
“No, it’ll be over soon.” Aina squinted at the still-weak Xia Lun and grinned. “I’ll make it quick.”

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
