"Looking forward to a future with you..."
"I'm looking forward to it too..."
"Shu Ning, I was just mentioning the title of the composition you wrote."
"Brother, I was talking about my feelings."
"Shu Ning... wait two months... let's come back here in two months."
"By then, I want to give you a gift and tell you things I’ve always wanted to say."
"Would that be alright?"
"I’d love that."
"You’d love..."
"No."
Gu Luo sat on the curb, staring blankly at the passing cars and pedestrians, his mind replaying the scene from a month ago when he and Shu Ning had shared a snowy mooncake.
Their relationship had officially begun with—
Would that be alright? I’d love that.
And now it was—
You’d love...? No.
Even now, Gu Luo refused to believe the harsh words Shu Ning had spoken were genuine.
Because those scalding tears—they couldn’t have been fake.
But right now, he didn’t have the energy to dwell on the reasons behind it all.
Even if Shu Ning had no choice, even if she had unspeakable reasons—
The hurt was still hurt.
The gift he had painstakingly prepared for over a month had been carelessly tossed aside.
Gu Luo didn’t bother going back to look for it. He didn’t even want to.
Everything—absolutely everything—left him utterly exhausted.
Time slipped away, second by second.
The sunset had long been swallowed by the ink of night.
His phone buzzed in his pocket, over and over, but Gu Luo acted as if he hadn’t heard, still sitting dazed on the street.
He didn’t want to think.
He refused to think.
Is this what heartbreak feels like?
At school, he was hailed as Gu the Prodigy, surrounded by countless admirers.
Yet in the end, his very first confession had ended in failure.
He didn’t know how much time had passed when a faint sound finally reached his ears.
The swish of velvet brushing against the pavement, a delicate friction.
A girl in ten-centimeter black stilettos took measured steps, as if each one marked the passage of time.
Her black dress clung to her waist and hips, outlining a graceful silhouette—as if she had draped a piece of the night sky over herself.
A subtle scent of cedar drifted around her, its base notes laced with a hint of sweet rose.
Only when those diamond-studded heels came to a stop before him did Gu Luo finally lift his gaze—
The gemstone necklace at her throat gleamed against the hollow of her collarbone, her silver earrings catching the light with an ethereal shimmer. Even the shadow cast by her lashes carried an innate elegance.
Gu Luo was stunned into silence.
Confusion, awe, and something indescribably complicated swirled inside him.
Luo Shuhe hooked a finger under her skirt, letting the velvet fabric graze the grass-stained ground.
With an effortless flick, she smoothed the wrinkles at her hips, treating the expensive dress as casually as if it were a simple cotton frock.
Then she sat down beside Gu Luo.
Silent.
Neither spoke, the only sounds the distant hum of traffic and the occasional footsteps of passersby.
Time stretched on until—
A low engine roar shattered the quiet.
A sleek black luxury car, like a lurking panther, pulled up smoothly in front of them.
Luo Shuhe rose gracefully, her slender fingers curling around the door handle with the poise of a noblewoman from centuries past.
Gathering her skirt, she dipped into a slight curtsy, her emerald earrings swaying gently with the motion. The shadow of her lashes trembled with a soft smile.
"Brother, please get in."

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
nto another world, I bought a slave for the first time, never expecting the silver wolf girl to be so cute... Lin Feng: I know it's cold, but you don't have to sneak into my bed! Yuna: Just sharing body warmth, if you dare do anything naughty, I'll definitely...
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.
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)
