The next day.
In the school infirmary, Ye Shuang sat on a chair, scrolling through his phone as he took in the latest updates. Even he couldn’t help but pause in surprise.
A reversal this fast?
“Strange. I thought it’d take a few days to gain traction. Why did it flip in just one?” Ye Shuang stroked his chin, deep in thought. He had planned to let the situation simmer a bit longer, but by the next day, the mother and daughter were already in custody.
“Your doing?” He turned to the side, where a short-haired girl sat with her legs propped up on the table, gripping a controller as her eyes remained fixed on the projected game screen.
Even when Ye Shuang addressed her, she didn’t budge, still staring at the screen. “What’s it got to do with me? That flimsy narrative was full of holes to begin with—it was bound to collapse under scrutiny.”
Just then, Ye Shuang’s phone buzzed.
He glanced at it—a message from Chen Qin.
Chen Qin: I handled it for you. Who dares slander my Ye Shuang?!
Chen Qin: [Husky pointing at someone.jpg]
Now it made sense. The reason the situation reversed so quickly wasn’t just because the mother-daughter duo’s fabricated story couldn’t withstand scrutiny—Chen Qin had likely stepped in after seeing it too.
She probably bought a ton of exposure as well.
“Should’ve given her a heads-up. Maybe they wouldn’t have ended up in jail,” Ye Shuang mused.
The cost of slandering others was far too low, and lawsuits were notoriously difficult to pursue. Even if victims took legal action, they’d often waste time and money only to receive little to no justice.
Take the recent Chengdu court case, for example—its motto seemed to be “Never let a good person off the hook,” even scolding plaintiffs for being “petty.”
Because spreading rumors was easy and profitable, such incidents kept proliferating online.
But Chen Qin seemed to have read his mind. Before he could reply, she sent another message—
Chen Qin: I’ve filed lawsuits against all the bloggers who spread rumors, plus that mother and daughter. Don’t worry, I’ve hired a dedicated lawyer to handle the cases. Hehe.
Chen Qin: As the Analects say, “A gentleman who isn’t firm lacks dignity.”
Ye Shuang: Meaning, “If you don’t hit hard, you can’t establish authority.”
Chen Qin: Oho, you know your stuff~ [Husky impressed.jpg]
Chen Qin: [Begging for praise.jpg]
Chen Qin clearly didn’t want Ye Shuang wasting energy on this. Given her fiercely protective nature, those involved were bound to enjoy a rather… handcuffed lifestyle.
“I was planning to sign them up for the ‘Septic Tank Olympics,’ but since Chen Qin already took care of it… never mind.” Ye Shuang leaned back in his chair, exchanged a few more messages with Chen Qin, then set his phone aside.
The infirmary fell quiet again, save for the sounds of An Shiyu’s game and the occasional burst of Osaka dialect swearing.
Ye Shuang returned to his medical books, though lately, he’d been focusing more on cardiovascular studies.
Adjusting the gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, his dark, intense eyes absorbed the text so intently that even An Shiyu glanced over at him.
Just then, a sparrow fluttered in through the window and landed on his shoulder, tilting its head. “Chirp!”
Whether it was because the animals on campus had no sense of danger or because Ye Shuang often fed them by the windowsill, the sparrows and pigeons here were completely unafraid of people. Sometimes, they’d even fly inside to beg for food.
“Hm?” Noticing the sparrow, Ye Shuang pulled out a small jar of rice grains from his drawer and scattered a few on the table.
As the bird pecked at the grains, he warned, “Eat and leave. No pooping in the infirmary, or no more treats.”
Whether it understood or not, he went back to reading after feeding it.
A character death sound suddenly blared from the game screen—An Shiyu had been staring a little too long.
An Shiyu: “……”
She turned back and reloaded her save.
Time flew, and soon it was almost noon. Ye Shuang’s phone buzzed again—this time, a message from Chen Hai, which surprised him a little.
Chen Hai: Yo, loser, let’s hang out!
Ye Shuang: ?
Ye Shuang: Don’t you have work? What kind of ‘hanging out’ happens at noon?
Chen Hai: Lunch with me? Just for a bit. My treat—fancy restaurant.
Chen Hai: First come, first served.
Ye Shuang was puzzled by Chen Hai’s sudden invitation, but considering he might have something to discuss in person, he replied—
Ye Shuang: Something wrong?
Chen Hai: Pfft, nah, nothing’s wrong.
Ye Shuang: Fine, send me the address.
Soon, Chen Hai’s location popped up—a high-end omakase place costing ¥3,000 per head.
“What’s gotten into him?” Ye Shuang didn’t dwell on it. If there was an issue, he’d find out soon enough.
During lunch break, after messaging Bai Yuyou and the others, Ye Shuang drove off campus.
The restaurant wasn’t far—less than ten minutes away. After parking, he quickly spotted Chen Hai inside.
“Over here!” Chen Hai waved, but Ye Shuang noticed a young woman sitting beside him.
She looked to be in her early twenties, no makeup but radiating a lively energy.
Meeting Ye Shuang’s gaze, she smiled and nodded politely.
Returning the gesture, Ye Shuang took a seat.
“This place is great. My treat today,” Chen Hai said, though Ye Shuang sensed something off about his demeanor.
Ye Shuang smirked. “You drag me out for a midday feast, and I’m supposed to believe there’s no catch? Spit it out—what are you hiding?”
“Damn, since when do I hide things from you?” Chen Hai started, then hesitated.
“Let’s eat first.”
Seeing his reluctance, Ye Shuang didn’t press further.
The restaurant served chef’s-choice courses based on daily ingredients. While Ye Shuang wasn’t a fan, the girl beside Chen Hai seemed to enjoy it thoroughly.
From their conversation, Ye Shuang learned she was Chen Hai’s subordinate—also working at the bank.
Ye Shuang: “……”
Catching a whiff of something unusual, Ye Shuang studied her more closely, piecing together her details.
[Character: Zhou Min
Bank employee. Currently pregnant.]
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
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.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
