Shu Yunyi and Fu Nanzhi interacted with you frequently, and not only did she not interfere, but she even occasionally covered for you with your family.
Thanks to your tireless mediation, the three women had long grown accustomed to each other's presence and even became quite close, never again quarreling or exchanging harsh words.
They would go shopping together, dine, chat idly, buy clothes, and talk about their children...
At times, you’d even find yourself excluded from their gatherings, but you didn’t mind—in fact, you were happy to see it.
Time flowed on, the children grew day by day, and all of you gradually aged.
The discomfort and awkwardness of the past had vanished like a spring breeze melting into rain, silent yet nourishing.
The emotional knots between everyone had unraveled, and during holidays, they could still gather together as one.
The large family was lively and warm, with children playing at your feet and pets by your side.
You felt your life was complete, with no regrets left.
"Simulation complete!"
[Comprehensive Evaluation: None]
[Your romance strategy experience has slightly increased.]
Notification: Your character level has increased.
[You used a simulation seed. No conventional rewards can be obtained in this scenario.]
[Reward: None.]
[System Comment: None.]
[You have unlocked the simulation editing function. You may now clip completed simulations.]
[You may choose to retain the current simulation progress or immediately synchronize the memories.]
Shen Yi exited the simulation, his head heavy and his vision blurry.
He barely managed to pick up his phone and saw that it was already past 3 a.m.—unconsciously, several hours had slipped by.
Completing two simulations in a single day, spanning over ten hours, was no simple matter of watching a movie. It was a genuine, immersive experience.
Though his body had barely moved, the mental toll was substantial, and even he was struggling to bear it.
Now, his mind was too foggy to focus.
The text before his eyes was hazy, but he strained to read the screen.
Name: Shen Yi
Level: Lv. 3
Strength: 8
Stamina: 9
Energy: 10
Charm: 81
Assets:
Attribute Points: 1
Romance Points: 15
After repeatedly completing romance strategies, his character level had finally reached 3.
[System upgrading. Please wait…]
Shen Yi weakly tapped the plus sign next to his level and then closed his eyes, sinking into sleep.
When he awoke again, sunlight was already streaming through the windows.
He yawned and hurried to the bathroom—he had nearly been woken by the urgent need to relieve himself.
Splashing cold water on his face at the sink, the icy shock jolted him awake, clearing his drowsiness.
Back in his room, he checked his phone—it was almost 10 a.m.
This was the first time he had slept in since his energy stat reached 10, proof of how exhausted he had been the day before.
After gulping down a glass of water, Shen Yi finally had the chance to open the simulator and see what had changed.
He hadn’t had time to examine it properly last night, hastily clicking the upgrade before passing out.
Now, with the upgrade complete, the interface had transformed.
‘This… the changes are huge…’
At first glance, Shen Yi was stunned. Not only was the UI far more polished, but new functions had been added.
He’d have to explore them one by one.
Reviewing last night’s records, the first new feature he noticed was the simulation editing function, unlocked after reaching Level 3.
As the name suggested, it allowed him to trim simulation clips—but only those already completed. Unfinished simulations couldn’t be edited.
Scrolling to the bottom of the screen, he found a new editing space containing two completed simulation clips.
‘Damn… Does this mean I can cut out the parts I don’t want…’
‘And keep only the best moments, then sync those memories?’
After a quick exploration, Shen Yi grasped the potential of this feature.
He could craft an idealized simulation clip to share with his romance targets, increasing the chances of a successful conquest in one attempt.
The function was incredibly powerful. Just skimming the surface, he could already think of several clever uses—highly flexible and practical.
"Perfect for first-time targets. Might even secure a high rating easily."
"Great, but it came a bit late… I don’t really need it now…"
Shen Yi scratched his head, thinking.
Last night’s simulation had already been close to ideal.
Even if he tried again, he doubted he could do better. Syncing the memories as they were wouldn’t be a problem.
The three women had resolved their conflicts and could even enjoy each other’s company afterward. Compared to his current real-life situation, what more could he ask for?
"Wait…"
A sudden realization struck him.
"What if I combine clips from different simulations, cutting out the bad parts…"
"Wouldn’t that mean… I could manipulate memories freely…?"
He immediately envisioned stitching together multiple simulations, removing the arguments and leaving only the harmonious moments to share with everyone.
Once he grasped the implications, he realized this function wasn’t just practical—it was borderline dangerous. Cautiously, he decided to test it first.
But the moment he tried, a prompt appeared:
[Warning: Edited simulation clips can no longer be synchronized as memories. They will instead play in an observer’s perspective. Use with caution.]
"This makes sense…"
Shen Yi nodded in understanding. This limitation made the feature feel more balanced.
Memory synchronization was already a near-cheat ability. Adding unrestricted editing would be downright broken.
With ill intent, he could toy with someone’s memories. But switching to a playback mode made it less extreme.
Editing took time, so Shen Yi set it aside for now and checked for other new features.
After some digging, he found another addition, cleverly hidden.
Following the latest upgrade, a shopping cart icon now sat beside the mailbox in the simulator’s interface.
Shen Yi focused on it, and a new window appeared.
A store.
The upgraded simulator now included a shopping feature. Excited, Shen Yi browsed the available items.
The store was barebones, with only three products displayed.
The first was a small bubble containing a badge-like object.
Upon touching it with his consciousness, Shen Yi understood its function.
This item was called the [Rating Conversion Badge].
Its effect was straightforward—even blunt.
Every time Shen Yi completed a romance conquest, the high rating he achieved could be converted into equivalent rewards using this badge.
For Shen Yi, the equivalent here was naturally currency, so its function was straightforward—completing a high-level evaluation would allow an exchange.
Shen Yi's consciousness connected with the badge to check and found that only ratings of B-level or above qualified as high-level.
He had four badges in total: one B-level, one A-level, and two S-level ones.
They came from Jian Leyi, Cheng Jun, Fu Nanzhi, and Shu Yunyi, respectively.
The other miscellaneous D- and C-level evaluations used for grinding points didn’t meet the standard, so they weren’t recorded.
The four badges Shen Yi had accumulated could all be exchanged for equivalent currency.
An S-level badge was worth 20 million, an A-level one could fetch 10 million, while a B-level one plummeted to just 1 million.
"Tsk..."
Even this much made Shen Yi suck in a sharp breath. The ratings he’d earned from previous conquests had seemed useless before, but now they held significant value.
And not just a little—these four evaluations could net him roughly 50 million in equivalent currency, shocking him thoroughly.
To think that after grinding for over half a month, he’d only managed to save a little over a million. Even without investing emotions, it wasn’t even a fraction of this conversion.
"Is this the right way to play? So it really is a dating simulator after all..."
Shen Yi couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.
The simulator had such a twisted sense of humor, eliminating any thoughts unrelated to love and always leaving people in a dilemma.
Shaking his head helplessly, Shen Yi turned his attention to the next item.
Floating inside a bubble was an object that resembled a syringe in appearance.
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.
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
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?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
