"Ye Feng, her heartache still lies in her own body. Even though I've been trying to comfort her and encourage her to maintain a peaceful mindset, it's all been in vain."
Ye Feng sighed, his weary face etched with regret. Seeing this, Xie Yuyan reached out and pulled him into her embrace, soothing him in an exceptionally gentle tone: "It's alright, Ye Feng. Meng Li just doesn’t want to burden you. Both of you have good intentions—it’s just that you’ve ended up with differing opinions."
"Don’t lose heart, Ye Feng. If you persist, Meng Li will surely be moved and agree eventually."
"I hope so."
Ye Feng replied somberly, lightly patting Xie Yuyan’s back.
"Thank you, Yuyan. I really cherish the honesty between us. If we can keep going like this, we’ll surely be happy, won’t we?"
"..."
"Yuyan?"
Noticing Xie Yuyan frozen in place, Ye Feng called out softly, his hand on her back slowly lowering.
"Ah!? Ye Feng, go on, I’m listening!"
Hearing his voice, Xie Yuyan snapped out of her daze and quickly released her hold on him, cautiously studying his expression.
"Yuyan, you’ve seemed a bit distracted lately. Did something happen?"
Ye Feng seemed unwilling to let the matter go, his words subtly nudging her to answer.
Xie Yuyan calmly shook her head, then stepped forward to take Ye Feng’s hand, masking her earlier hesitation with a hint of reproach.
"It’s all because of you, Ye Feng..."
"Because of me? I haven’t done anything out of line. Besides, Yuyan, haven’t I been by your side all this time?"
"Of course I know you’ve been with me, and I know you truly care for me. But... but I just can’t help feeling unhappy!"
At this point, Xie Yuyan finally let out the jealousy she’d been bottling up, locking eyes with Ye Feng as she explained.
"Even though you’ve told me your relationships with those girls are purely normal, Ye Feng, you’re the one I love most. Seeing you constantly staying in touch and chatting with them naturally upsets me! But I understand it’s something you have to do, so I’ve never complained."
Watching Ye Feng grow increasingly subdued under her words, Xie Yuyan gained confidence and continued venting her frustrations.
"Still, anyone would feel uncomfortable in my place! I’m the one standing by your side, the one who should be sharing sweet moments with you. So why do you have to maintain such close ties with so many girls? You must know how they feel... I just... I just want to protect the beautiful life we have together, that’s all..."
Though they stood facing each other on the bustling street, the noise of passersby and the roar of cars faded into silence in Ye Feng’s heart. His eyes were fixed solely on Xie Yuyan, her tearful gaze stirring his tenderness.
"Yuyan... I..."
"I’m sorry, Ye Feng. I’ve said too much today... I didn’t mean to. I really didn’t."
Tears glistened at the corners of Xie Yuyan’s eyes as she struggled to hold them back. Her grip on Ye Feng’s hand tightened, as if afraid she might lose him the next moment.
"No... Yuyan, you’re not wrong."
Ye Feng replied calmly, squeezing her hand in return to convey his emotions.
"It’s only natural for you to feel this way. If I were in your position, I’d feel just as hurt. You’ve done nothing wrong. If anything, I’m the one who should apologize—for taking advantage of your love and enjoying your devotion without considering your feelings."
"My carelessness led you to think this way. If you hadn’t opened my eyes today, I might have remained oblivious forever."
All distractions vanished from Ye Feng’s mind, replaced by overwhelming remorse and guilt toward Xie Yuyan.
Yes... Yuyan has always been silently by my side, willing to follow me even into danger. Her love has always been so sincere. And what have I done? Here I was, doubting her actions. Do I even deserve to think that way?
At this realization, Ye Feng pulled Xie Yuyan into a firm embrace. Passersby cast them warm, approving glances.
"Ye... Feng?"
Even Xie Yuyan hadn’t expected him to hold her so decisively after her outburst. Listening to the steady thump of his heartbeat, she knew her words had deeply affected him. In response, she wrapped her arms around his back, returning his embrace.
"I’m sorry, Yuyan. I’m the one who owes you an apology. I neglected your feelings—you’ve been giving so much while I took it for granted. I’m truly sorry!"
"It’s... it’s not that serious, Ye Feng! Let’s... let’s just go home first, okay? Everyone’s staring, and it’s embarrassing!"
"But... but..."
"Enough ‘buts’! Come on, Ye Feng, let’s go!"
Her cheeks flushed crimson, clearly unwilling to let him see her flustered state, Xie Yuyan tugged Ye Feng’s hand and hurried toward home.
......
"Whew... whew..."
Only after arriving home did Xie Yuyan finally catch her breath. She couldn’t fathom what had come over Ye Feng—he hadn’t uttered a word the entire way back, leaving her utterly confused.
"Ye Feng? Are you okay? Did I walk too fast?"
"Yu... Yuyan..."
Realizing they were home, Ye Feng glanced down at Xie Yuyan, who was checking him for any signs of distress, and pulled her into another tight hug.
"Mmm..."
Xie Yuyan felt herself tilt forward, and before she knew it, she was pressed against his chest again.
"Ye Feng, it’s fine. Didn’t I already tell you it’s nothing? I was just venting earlier. Seeing you so serious makes me feel like I’ve done something wrong."
"Yuyan, you haven’t answered me yet."
"Huh? Answer... what?"
"My apology."
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!!

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
