Investing in the Reborn Empress, She Actually Calls Me ‘Husband’

After crossing into a world of martial arts, Li Mo bound himself with an investment system that allowed him to see the innate talent, destiny, and future of those he invested in.

The greater the destiny of his target, the richer the rewards he would reap.

Then he discovered that the aloof girl next door, his childhood sweetheart, possessed the highest-grade crimson destiny—a future destined to reign supreme as the Empress of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

Lately, she seemed troubled, pondering how to unlock her sealed meridians and unleash her talents ahead of time...

My name is Ying Bing, one of the Nine Heavenly Sovereigns, titled the Phoenix Empress, reigning invincibly over the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

I have been reborn and bound to a Peerless Genius System, where ranking first among my peers grants me rewards.

[Would you like to activate the Punishment Mechanism?]

[Upon activation, rewards will increase, but after the rankings are announced, you must carry out the "Punishment of the Defeated" on the top-ranked individual.]

Ying Bing: "I can’t very well punish myself, can I?"

Years later.

Ying Bing: "Can’t you let me win just once?"

Li Mo: "First, call me 'husband' properly—I didn’t hear it clearly last time."
