"Are we really going to eat?" Tang Keke woke up to find it already dark outside—pitch black with nothing visible. The car was clearly heading into the mountains, navigating a muddy, winding road without a single streetlight in sight.
In the distance, only a few faintly lit households could be seen hundreds of meters away.
"Are we really going to eat? Feels more like we're being trafficked," Tang Duoduo chimed in, suddenly recalling scenes from TV dramas.
"Good food is like this—totally normal," Ye Shuang explained with a smile from the side. As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. Many delicious dishes come from farmhouses, where home-raised chickens, ducks, fish, and geese are the freshest and tastiest.
After driving a while longer, a brightly lit farmhouse came into view, its courtyard already packed with parked cars.
"Wow, it's full?" Tang Duoduo was surprised that such a remote place—with rugged mountain roads and not even a proper paved path—could attract so many customers.
"Alright, let's get out."
Ye Shuang led Bai Yuyou and the others out of the car. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Ran Xinxin and a few others had already put on masks beforehand. Meanwhile, Ye Shuang casually scanned the parked cars with his system.
Knowing that gathering information could potentially enhance his system's abilities, Ye Shuang had developed a habit of scanning things whenever possible. But when his gaze landed on a black sedan, he froze for a moment.

Hey buddy, it's a fake license plate.]
Fake plates?
Ye Shuang stared at the license plate for a few seconds until a masked man nearby spoke up, "What's the matter? Something wrong with my car?"
Ye Shuang withdrew his gaze and shook his head. "Nothing, just a rare plate."
"Came from out of town for the good food. Totally normal," the man replied, visibly flustered at the mention of the license plate but quickly recovering.
Ye Shuang: "..."
[Character: Wang Xiaogou
Mysterious masked man.]
"We do have a lot of delicious food here," Ye Shuang said with a light chuckle, deciding not to press further. He wasn’t keen on getting involved, though he made a mental note before heading into the private dining room.
Inside, two large round tables were set—one for the staff and another for the actors, director, and Ye Shuang’s group. While ordering, Ye Shuang got up and quietly briefed Bobo about the suspicious car.
"Mr. Ye Shuang, I’ll look into it," Bobo said. As a bodyguard, he took such matters seriously. Fake plates weren’t unheard of, but their presence at this farmhouse warranted investigation.
After asking Ye Shuang to keep an eye on Alice, Bobo left the room.
Soon, the food arrived.
Rustic farm dishes might not look fancy, but their flavors were authentic.
"Excuse me, three more bowls of rice, please," Ye Shuang called to the waiter.
"Not enough?" The waiter glanced at the table, noting each person already had a bowl.
"No, I just have a big appetite."
"Ah, got it. The rice is unlimited—you can refill from the wooden bucket over there."
"Thanks."
Bobo returned after a while, nodding at Ye Shuang without elaboration.
"Hey Bobo, where’d you go? The food’s getting cold," Alice complained, unaware of his brief absence. "Slacking off like this, I might just replace you."
"My apologies, Miss Alice," Bobo replied.
"Ugh, fine. Eat the leftovers," Alice huffed, pointing to a plate set aside. "Not that I saved it for you or anything. It was just there, untouched."
Bobo smiled, clasping his hands. "Understood, Miss Alice."
"Mr. Ye Shuang, no major issues," Bobo murmured as he sat down.
"Guess I was overthinking it," Ye Shuang said.
"Not at all. Your caution was correct."
Bobo never minded eliminating potential threats—it was part of the job.
Alice watched their cryptic exchange, puzzled.
After more eating—
"I’m going to the restroom," Alice announced.
"I’ll go too, Alice!" Tang Keke added, having drunk too much soup.
Bobo started to rise, but Alice waved him off. "Stay and eat. I’ll be fine with her."
"Just finish your meal," she insisted.
Ye Shuang chuckled. "Alice, you do care about Bobo, huh?"
"W-what? No! I just don’t want my bodyguard working on an empty stomach!" Alice stuck out her tongue playfully before dragging Tang Keke away.
Bobo still seemed uneasy, so Ye Shuang offered, "I’ll go too. Need to use the restroom anyway."
Alice didn’t object—until she remembered the farmhouse had unisex stalls in a row. If she went, he’d hear everything next door.
"Y-you—no! Hold it in!" Alice’s face flushed as she glared at Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang: ?
Hold it in? That’s harsh.
"Don’t you dare follow until I’m back," Alice hissed, baring her little fangs before storming off with Tang Keke.
"…" Ye Shuang and Bobo exchanged glances.
"She doesn’t mind you being nearby?" Ye Shuang asked.
"Miss Alice doesn’t see me as a man."
"Oh?"
Meanwhile, Alice and Tang Keke reached the restroom.
Tang Keke entered first, while Alice opened the second stall, wrinkled her nose at the grime, and moved to the third.
"Never coming back. So gross," she muttered, finally settling on the fourth.
After finishing, Alice stepped out—only for a large hand to clamp over her mouth!
"?!!!" She struggled wildly but couldn’t make a sound.
Next door, Tang Keke finished up but found her door wouldn’t budge.
"Huh? Broken?" She jiggled the lock and pushed—still stuck.
"Eh?"
"Eh?!"
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?
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)
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.
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
