"Where has Young Master Li gone?"
"I don’t know. Maybe he went next door."
"What’s he doing next door? Unless..."
"He bought the place next door too. At this rate, the whole street might soon bear the Li name."
"Oh, by the way, I just saw Tu Yan changing her clothes earlier. She even mentioned... inviting Li Mo to see the lanterns tonight?"
Amid the lively chatter, many were quietly probing for Li Mo’s whereabouts.
Luo Ji, ever the instigator, fanned the flames without lifting a finger.
Li Mo had struck a deal with her, offering a generous sum, but the Wanchun Pavilion was her life’s work. To have her people taken away with a single word—
And that brat treated her like air.
True, she wasn’t exactly virtuous, but men lining up from the inner city to the outer walls dreamed of winning her wealth and beauty.
How infuriating was that kid?
What woman could tolerate such disrespect? Especially a woman like her—now she just wanted to see Li Mo scrambling to put out fires.
Truthfully, she didn’t need to lift a finger. The women of the Hundred Flowers Ranking were peerless beauties, each with their own allure, none willing to admit inferiority.
This wasn’t about whether they could be "blessed" by some so-called "wife-fortune soul."
This was the innate rivalry among women, the unspoken war of the Hundred Flowers Ranking!
After a brief lull, many had retreated to freshen up, donning new attire—except Lan Tian, who was still munching away with gusto.
"Hey, they seem... prettier?"
"To be precise, their clothes got skimpier..."
"Damn, Li Mo isn’t even here, yet they’re going all out. Could it be... they’ve got eyes for me?"
The brothers watched the blossoming spectacle, feeling like they’d stumbled into a dream.
A sight they’d never forget...
"Amitabha... today’s vow of celibacy fails again. Last time, this is definitely the last time..." Murong Xiao sighed to the heavens.
Xiao Qin suddenly felt his aura surge, a faint divine shadow manifesting behind him.
"Master, why’d you show up? It’s risky—if anyone realizes you’re not a true divine will, we’re done for."
"Then why don’t we swap control for a bit?" Thousand Forms Martial Venerable murmured.
Xiao Qin paused. "I’m just concerned for your recovery... not that I want to see..."
"Tsk... that little vixen from the Hehuan Sect..."
Xiao Qin’s neck twisted reflexively, his breath hitching.
Tu Yan of the Hehuan Sect was truly a succubus.
Her outfit—how to put it—revealed nothing outright, yet the artful hints of concealment only accentuated her curves, leaving little to the imagination.
"Witch," Lady Shen sneered.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Tu Yan smiled sweetly, her words dripping with provocation:
"Oh, by the way, remember that talented Scholar Zhao who played such refined music with you?"
"What did you do to him?"
"He has a mole on his chest," Tu Yan purred, her eyes half-lidded.
"You—!"
Even Luo Ji, the master stirrer, was caught off guard.
She hadn’t even made her move, and the situation was already spiraling.
"Li Mo, Li Mo... if you return any later, there’ll be no saving this..."
Luo Ji chuckled, glancing toward the entrance—
Only to find Li Mo already back, staring blankly at the scene.
"What’s going on here?"
"Jealousy, plain and simple. You’re finally back. Not much I can do—after all, you’re the boss now."
"Huh?"
Young Master Li was floored. He wasn’t even present, and still, chaos erupted?
"Young Master, she despises me, even threatened to ruin my face. So uncivilized," Tu Yan whimpered, a delicate flower begging for protection.
As she spoke, she tried to slip behind Li Mo—a masterstroke to paint Lady Shen as a shrew while stoking male protectiveness. Tea-artistry at its finest.
"?"
But Tu Yan never saw it coming.
Before she could take shelter, the top-ranked Hidden Dragon executed flawless positional control.
Zero protection offered.
"You’re the benefactor here... won’t you stand up for little old me?"
Tu Yan’s hand ghosted toward him—
Only for Li Mo to sidestep just as soundlessly.
"???"
Was this man’s heart carved from ice?
She looked up and froze. Li Mo’s eyes held nothing but wariness. And the entire Wanchun Pavilion had fallen deathly silent.
The Hundred Flowers lowered their proud heads; even the furious Lady Shen quieted.
For they’d all seen the figure trailing Li Mo.
Before, their rivalry stemmed from believing their beauty was comparable—subjective, varying in different eyes.
But sometimes, one person’s presence renders subjectivity obsolete...
Lady Shen was speechless. She recalled a local belle from her hometown, famed for miles as a stunning beauty—until she met her, called her a goddess, and wilted in shame.
Now she understood that girl’s bizarre feeling.
"Wow, I thought Fairy Han would look just like the illustrations in The Tyrannical Empress Falls for Me," Lan Tian chirped around a mouthful of skewers, bouncing over like an eager fan.
"Why’d you think that?"
Li Mo was amused.
"Because you, Benefactor Daddy, look exactly like Jiang Chen! Why?" Lan Tian tilted her head.
Li Mo suddenly remembered—Senior Brother Ouyang had indeed agonized over this, losing clumps of hair, lamenting his inability to capture the "ice block’s" natural grace.
Damn, was he the true painting prodigy all along?
"Then... should I call you Benefactor Mommy?" Lan Tian blinked.
Ying Bing’s frosty gaze softened. "You’ll have Li Mo’s cooking tonight."
"Eh? What about the other sisters?"
"They’ll enjoy my personal hospitality."
Ying Bing surveyed the springtime splendor before her.
Her flawless face wore a smile, her tone as gentle as a vernal breeze.
Li Mo: "!"
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?
villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er.

Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
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)
