Chapter 227
Sitting in the soft back seat of the Rolls-Royce, Ye Zhenzhen felt as if she were floating.
The space inside the car was absurdly large, and the decor was luxurious without being tacky.
Every detail exuded an aura of "I am very expensive."
She carefully shifted her bottom.
She was terrified that the static electricity from her clothes might transfer to the multi-million-dollar leather seats.
"Relax a little."
Gu Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud at her stiff posture.
"It's not a dragon's den or a tiger's lair. What are you so nervous about?"
"I... I'm just afraid of embarrassing you,"
Ye Zhenzhen muttered softly.
She was dressed very ordinarily today, looking just like a typical student, completely out of place with the aura of this luxury car.
"How could you embarrass me?"
Gu Ran pulled her into his arms, letting her lean against his shoulder.
"You are my girlfriend; you are the best no matter what. Besides, if anyone dares to laugh at you, I'll gouge their eyes out."
Yeah, right.
Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him and looked out the window.
The red walls and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City, the solemn and majestic square, and various magnificent buildings she couldn't name...
All of this left Ye Zhenzhen overwhelmed with sights.
"When we have the chance later, we'll tour all these places."
Gu Ran whispered in her ear.
"Okay."
Ye Zhenzhen nodded vigorously, her eyes full of anticipation.
About half an hour later, the car slowly pulled into the underground parking garage of a hotel.
The name of the hotel.
Ye Zhenzhen had seen it in financial magazines—the Park Hyatt Beijing.
One of the world's top luxury hotels; it was said that the price for one night was equal to several months of her living expenses.
She swallowed hard, feeling her heart start to race disappointingly fast again.
Just how much money did this guy make?
He was too much of a spendthrift!
As soon as the car stopped, a well-dressed hotel butler was already waiting by the elevator.
"Mr. Gu, Miss Ye, welcome. Your room has been prepared for you."
The butler wore a professional yet warm smile, bowing slightly as he made a "please" gesture.
They didn't even have to go to the front desk to check in; they were led directly by dedicated staff to an exclusive elevator that went straight to the top floor.
In the elevator, Ye Zhenzhen secretly tugged at Gu Ran's sleeve and asked in a breathy whisper.
"The service at this hotel... isn't it a bit too good?"
Gu Ran raised an eyebrow, his tone flat.
"The power of money."
"..."
That made so much sense, she was actually left speechless.
The elevator stopped on the 66th floor.
The butler led them to a set of double doors that looked distinct from the rest.
Swipe the card, open the door.
"Mr. Gu, your Presidential Suite. I hope you and Miss Ye will like it."
After saying this, the butler tactfully took his leave.
When the heavy doors were pushed open and the scene behind them was revealed.
Ye Zhenzhen felt her breath catch.
The first thing that caught her eye was an absurdly large living room.
High ceilings and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows.
Outside the window was the night view of the capital's most bustling CBD, with heavy traffic.
Brilliantly illuminated, it looked like a dazzling galaxy.
The living room's decor was a modern minimalist style, exuding ultimate luxury in a low-key manner.
The sofa, the rug, the coffee table... every piece of furniture looked like a work of art.
"This... this is too big, isn't it?"
Ye Zhenzhen's mouth fell open in shock.
How was this a hotel room? This was practically a sky villa!
"It's alright. Just a bit over three hundred square meters, barely livable."
Gu Ran said it breezily.
Ye Zhenzhen.
"..."
She decided that for the rest of the day, she was absolutely not going to speak to this walking humblebrag again!
Seeing her adorable, shocked-speechless expression, Gu Ran was in a great mood.
He took her hand, acting like a tour guide.
He began introducing this "new home."
"Over here is the lounge, and over there is the dining room, connected to an open kitchen."
"This room is the home theater; we can watch a movie whenever we want."
"This is the gym, the equipment is pretty complete."
"And there's also... a karaoke room?"
Ye Zhenzhen looked at the room filled with professional audio equipment, shocked once again.
Karaoke in a hotel room?
She truly didn't understand the world of the rich.
"Do you like it?"
Gu Ran hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"I like it, but..."
Ye Zhenzhen turned her head and looked at him seriously.
"Gu Ran, tell me honestly, how much money did you spend? We can't just spend money recklessly like this, the company..."
"Shh."
Gu Ran pressed a finger to her lips.
"You don't need to worry about money. You just need to focus on having a good time, and leave the rest to me."
His eyes were so serious that the rest of Ye Zhenzhen's words were caught in her throat.
Fine, she was persuaded once again.
"Then... where is the bedroom?"
She asked softly.
"Follow me."
Gu Ran led her by the hand down a long hallway, stopping in front of the innermost door.
Without pausing, he slowly pushed the door open.
The moment the door opened, a rich scent of roses wafted over them.
Immediately after, the sight that greeted her left Ye Zhenzhen completely stunned.
The entire bedroom had been decorated into a pink dream world.
The floor was covered in fresh rose petals, forming a romantic floral path leading to the large bed.
Countless pink and white balloons floated on the ceiling, with ribbons tied beneath them swaying gently.
And on that King-size bed, not only were there scattered petals.
But towels had also been folded into two elegant white swans, their necks intertwined to form the shape of a heart.
On the accent wall behind the headboard, neon lights spelled out the words:
"Welcome, My Queen."
Ye Zhenzhen's mind buzzed, going completely blank.
What... what was going on?
Was this an idol drama?
She instinctively turned to look at Gu Ran, only to find him wearing a "surprised" expression as well.
"Wow, the service at this hotel is way too thoughtful, right? They actually included this?"
He exclaimed theatrically.
Ye Zhenzhen. "..."
Like hell I'd believe you!
You sly dog!
If she still couldn't tell that Gu Ran was behind this, she would have lived all these years in vain!
"Gu 'Dog' Ran!"
She gritted her teeth and called out his name.
"Present!"
Gu Ran immediately stood at attention, looking at her innocently.
"Your Majesty the Queen, what are your orders?"
"You... you..."
Ye Zhenzhen pointed at the "white swans" on the bed.
Her cheeks were so red they looked ready to bleed, and she couldn't squeeze out a single word for a long time.
She was both angry and embarrassed.
This guy!
What a huge pervert!

s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces.
