In the end, Fang Zhiyi still came up with a few solutions—after all, the eccentric young mistress in front of him was the one signing his paychecks.
That night, Fu Jingxuan was jolted awake by Qin Xiaocao’s piercing scream. He felt something crawling on his face and immediately sat up, grabbing at it.
Pigtails? No—a giant cockroach!
When he turned on the lights, the entire house was swarming with them.
From a car parked on the street, Xue Wanning heard Qin Xiaocao’s scream and saw the lights flicker on in the house. Delighted, she shook Fang Zhiyi, who had already fallen asleep.
"Look, look! Hahaha!"
"Look at what? If they trace this back to you, remember to apologize and say those were medicinal cockroaches that escaped when the bag tore."
"Ugh, I know. You’re so naggy."
But Fu Jingxuan never imagined someone would stoop to something as petty as dumping cockroaches into his home. The next day, he simply called an exterminator.
He was busy—lately, he’d spent a fortune bribing a high-ranking executive from a rival company.
Who would’ve thought that the crazy woman from back then was actually the sole heiress of the Xue family? Talk about fate playing tricks.
As agreed, the spy would leak the Xue family’s confidential documents to him.
Even now, he could still picture that unreasonable woman’s face. Well, now was the time to settle old and new grudges together.
But ever since he arrived at the office, the power had been cutting out every hour, leaving employees grumbling in frustration.
After urgent inspections, they found it was just a tripped circuit breaker—but no matter how many times they reset it, the outages kept happening.
The Xue family showed no reaction either.
Fu Jingxuan was fuming. What kind of cursed day was this? First cockroaches, now blackouts. In a rage, he decided to head home early—only to be hit by a foul stench the moment he got into his car, nearly making him vomit.
Meanwhile, at the Xue Corporation, the bribed executive nervously handed the money over to Fang Zhiyi, then glanced at the silent Xue Wanning before scurrying out with his head down.
"Remember this—if you ever get any more 'unexpected income,' bring it to me yourself. Otherwise, what happened today will seem like a joke."
Fang Zhiyi’s threat made the executive shrink back. He still couldn’t figure out how he’d been exposed.
Once he was gone, Xue Wanning burst into laughter.
"I can’t take it anymore! How does your brain even work? This is evil!"
"Dumping cockroaches was one thing, but pouring stinky tofu juice into Fu Jingxuan’s car? Genius! Hahaha, I can just imagine his face!"
"That idiot spent over a million bribing an executive, and you just hired a security guard for a few thousand to trip their power every hour. Hahaha, I can’t even imagine how furious Fu Jingxuan would be if he found out."
Fang Zhiyi just watched her laugh. When she finally calmed down, he asked, "So… want some drama?"
The moment she heard those words, Xue Wanning perked up. "Let’s go, let’s go!"
"Mom… I really don’t have money. I’m not working right now—Jingxuan supports me." Qin Xiaocao kept her head down, though she was now dressed far more elegantly than her college days.
A middle-aged woman sat with her legs crossed. "Cut the nonsense! My son—your brother—said the Fu Family is loaded. Don’t forget I gave birth to you. How dare you refuse to repay your parents?"
"Mom, I… I can’t ask Jingxuan for money. He works hard for it."
"I can’t listen to this anymore! What kind of mother is this?" Xue Wanning shot up, only to be pulled back down by Fang Zhiyi.
"Have you forgotten how Qin Xiaocao treated you?"
Xue Wanning paused, recalling, but still fumed. Then, suddenly, she grinned and pulled out her phone.
"I knew keeping this number would come in handy. Hahaha!"
Fang Zhiyi glanced at her and sighed. The "villainess" label really did suit her.
As an anonymous text was sent, just as Qin Xiaocao was being reduced to tears by her mother, a long-unseen figure walked into the café.
"Xiaocao!" Gu Mingyu hurried over, eyeing the woman before looking at Qin Xiaocao with concern. "What’s wrong? I came as soon as I heard you needed help."
Qin Xiaocao didn’t even register his last sentence. Still used to relying on others from her college days, she saw Gu Mingyu as her savior. "Mingyu…" She threw herself into his arms without hesitation.
Gu Mingyu froze—then beamed with joy.
Qin Xiaocao’s mother was stunned. She thought this guy was her son-in-law, but now another man showed up? Her daughter was impressive.
"Xiaocao!" Another voice called out.
Gu Mingyu turned—Zhou Han had arrived too. The group exchanged awkward glances before—
"Gu Mingyu, you bastard!" With a furious roar, Fu Jingxuan lunged forward, and chaos erupted.
Xue Wanning gaped. "Wait, I only texted one person!"
Fang Zhiyi waved his phone. "The other two were my doing."
"You’re terrible. I love it." Xue Wanning grinned.
Amid the scuffle, Qin Xiaocao’s mother took a couple of stray hits—right to the mouth—and promptly covered her face as she fled the scene.
Eventually, Zhou Han managed to calm things down. Qin Xiaocao just stood there crying until Fu Jingxuan grabbed her and dragged her home, leaving Gu Mingyu heartbroken.
Zhou Han shot him a look. "You knew she was already with him. Why did you hug her?" Shaking his head, he left too.
Xue Wanning tugged Fang Zhiyi to leave, but Gu Mingyu spotted them.
He glared. "You two again. I always suspected you were following me and Xiaocao deliberately. Now I see—you’ve been spying on our lives, haven’t you?"
Fang Zhiyi shrugged. What else could he do? Either use them as entertainment or get humiliated by them. Any sane person would pick the former.
"Xue Wanning! Just you wait. Even if Xiaocao didn’t choose me, I’ll still protect her. Stay away from her!"
He shoved past them dramatically.
"Seriously, is he insane?" Xue Wanning muttered.
"Sir! You have to pay for the damages! Sir! Don’t run!" A waiter chased after him.
Xue Wanning’s anger dissolved into laughter.
Fang Zhiyi, however, narrowed his eyes. He’d almost forgotten about this guy—Gu Corporation’s illegitimate heir. If Gu Mingyu ever gained power, his own patron would be in deep trouble.
Xue Wanning knew Fang Zhiyi ran a private detective agency on the side—she’d even invested in it. She didn’t mind, treating it as a way to get fresh gossip about Qin Xiaocao. And truth be told, after years of indulging in the drama, she was hooked. If too much time passed without updates, she’d feel restless.
But lately, Fang Zhiyi and his little agency had been unusually busy. Whenever she asked, he’d just give her a mysterious smile.

Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
. 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!"
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)
