It was another sleepless night.
Early morning.
Tao Yaoyao struggled to open her eyes.
Thinking back to before she fell asleep, Tao Yaoyao couldn't quite tell if she had drifted off in the middle of the night or in the early hours of the morning.
In short, she had stayed up very late until exhaustion finally managed to suppress the torment and restlessness in her soul.
She grabbed her phone to check the time.
Eight twelve.
Hmm.
It looked like she still had time.
Tao Yaoyao slowly closed her eyes, seizing every second to rest in bed for a little while longer.
Ten minutes later, Tao Yaoyao got up and began to get ready.
In the kitchen, Xu Mingyao had already prepared breakfast.
There was mixed grain porridge, a few boiled eggs, some fried bacon and sausages, along with a few side dishes of pickled vegetables.
It looked pretty good.
It was already a very hearty spread for breakfast.
But Tao Yaoyao really didn't have much of an appetite.
Lack of sleep had brought her desire for food down to the freezing point.
After freshening up simply in the bathroom, she only had a few sips of porridge and ate a boiled egg before getting up to leave.
Leaving Xu Mingyao alone, looking at her retreating back with a worried expression...
...
Taking the elevator down to the underground garage, Tao Yaoyao got into the car assigned by her company and drove out of the garage.
Parking at a coffee shop near her residential complex, Tao Yaoyao got out and bought a cup of coffee to keep herself going.
The bitter taste assaulted her sensitive taste buds, causing Tao Yaoyao to frown slightly, but she finally felt a bit more awake.
Carrying the remaining half cup of coffee, Tao Yaoyao turned around and walked toward her car parked not far away.
This coffee shop was located in a rather remote area, and the pedestrians on the street were pitifully few.
Because of this, there were some things that Tao Yaoyao couldn't help but notice.
For example, at a corner not far ahead, a young couple walked out arm in arm.
The girl had a serene smile, her youthful features brimming with a look of happiness.
In broad daylight, she openly pouted at the boy beside her, looking adorable as she asked for a kiss.
The boy beside her appeared much more indifferent.
With a youthful and beautiful body pressed right against him, he only focused on looking down at his phone.
His response to the girl's kiss also seemed somewhat perfunctory.
He had the air of a man whose post-coital cooldown period hadn't quite ended yet.
As Tao Yaoyao looked at them, the two naturally noticed her gaze and looked back.
Coincidentally, a flash of amazement crossed both of their eyes at the same time.
But soon enough.
The girl, noticing her companion's gaze, instantly changed her expression, glaring at the boy fiercely yet cutely.
Looking as if to say, if you dare to look again, I'm going to teach you a lesson.
In the past, seeing such a situation, Tao Yaoyao would only have imperceptibly curled the corners of her lips.
Thinking that this couple was interesting and cute.
But now, a different kind of thought sprouted in her heart.
After brushing past this unfamiliar young couple, Tao Yaoyao took a few more steps forward and arrived at the intersection corner where the two had just walked out from.
She subconsciously turned her head to look.
At the end of the small alley, Tao Yaoyao saw a small motel.
Tucked away between residential buildings, this motel had a short and simple signboard, and Tao Yaoyao could easily imagine the decor and space inside.
With such a small motel, the rooms inside must be pitifully small as well.
Presumably, besides a bathroom and a large bed, there would hardly be room for anything else...
...
Suddenly realizing what she was fantasizing about, Tao Yaoyao acted as if she had just been jolted awake from a nightmare.
Coming back to her senses, Tao Yaoyao didn't have time to think too much. She lowered her head like she was fleeing and quickly walked away from the spot.
Returning to the car, Tao Yaoyao's rapid breathing still hadn't completely calmed down.
She started the car without caring about much else, giving her attention a place to settle.
The car drove slowly on the road.
Tao Yaoyao's breathing was no longer rapid.
That unspeakable reverie had also dissipated from her mind.
However, she still felt a feverish heat in her head, accompanied by a hollow sensation.
The crowded traffic suddenly came to a slow and orderly stop. Looking at the red light ahead, Tao Yaoyao stepped on the brakes too.
During this brief moment.
As if possessed, Tao Yaoyao picked up her phone, opened her messaging app, switched to her secret alternate account, and clicked into a chat page with someone.
The most recent message record on it was from two weeks ago.
It was sent by that man.
See you at the usual place.
Since then, he hadn't sent any more messages.
Tao Yaoyao stared blankly at the phone screen, and an inexplicable urge suddenly bubbled up.
She wanted to message him.
To ask him when he would come again.
Her rationality seemed to have fallen into a predicament where it was hard to maneuver.
Tao Yaoyao just stared blankly at the chat interface on her phone screen for quite a while.
It wasn't until an impatient car behind her honked to urge her on that Tao Yaoyao suddenly snapped back to reality, noticing that the traffic light had turned green at some unknown point.
Tao Yaoyao hurriedly set the car in motion. At the same time, her rationality also revived, beginning to reprimand that shameless impulse from just a moment ago.
Taking a deep breath, Tao Yaoyao discarded those tormenting thoughts, trying hard to soothe her emotions so she could calm down.
But after calming down for only a few minutes, Tao Yaoyao's gaze unconsciously fell on her phone again.
Realizing this, Tao Yaoyao immediately looked away, once again trying hard not to think about doing something that was absolutely forbidden.
If she were to take the initiative to contact him.
Then what kind of person would she become?
Absolutely not!
Tao Yaoyao pursed her soft lips, steadying her mind.
But after her momentary resolve faded, her remaining consciousness once again began to totter amidst the towering waves of desire.
After going back and forth several times.
Tao Yaoyao's will to resist was like a steel wire being repeatedly bent back and forth.
Perhaps at any given moment, this slender steel wire would snap under the overwhelming pressure.
Tao Yaoyao keenly realized that her state of mind was not right.
She stepped on the gas pedal, arriving at the company a bit faster.
Downstairs at her company, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She believed that this time would be just like usual, all she had to do was use her busy work to suppress these messy thoughts.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards.

He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
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.

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.

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?
