"Grandpa, you were right again. She doesn't like me at all." Although Fang Zhiyi said this, there was no trace of sadness on his face; he was already used to it.
"You disgraceful thing!" Mother Chen pointed at Chen Yao and cursed. She didn't really think her daughter was in the wrong, but she knew that the golden goose they had in their grasp was about to fly away!
Father Chen and Chen Mingli were more direct. They stepped forward and launched a fierce attack on Zhou Kai. After blocking a few blows, Zhou Kai's temper flared up, and he immediately began to fight back completely naked. By the time the police arrived, the scene before them was too bizarre: a stark naked man tangled up with two fully clothed men, while they all verbally abused each other's families.
They were all taken back to the police station, and the incident was spread by the hotel staff, instantly causing a massive uproar.
Fang Zhiyi became the honest guy who took the blame. Faced with his breakup proposal, the Chen family didn't even have the courage to ask him to stay. Even the neighbors they saw every day would whisper about them when they passed by.
Chen Yao hid at home, too afraid to see anyone.
"It's okay. At least I got the car and the house," she could only console herself like this.
But soon, a text message demanding payment made Chen Yao's brain crash again.
Did this Fang Zhiyi get her a loan??
She suddenly remembered that Fang Zhiyi had taken her phone when he bought the car and the house for her, and she felt a chill shoot up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
This matter made the already furious Chen family even more enraged. They wanted to find Fang Zhiyi and demand an explanation. Mother Chen also seemed to have found a point to counterattack, telling the neighbors how her daughter had been deceived.
But no one looked at the matter from their perspective.
"That's good. Fortunately, that young man wasn't stupid and knew to use a loan. Just think about it, if he had paid in full, with the Chen family's daughter doing something like this, wouldn't he have lost big time?"
"Yes, yes. It's a pity, but this Chen Yao really brought it upon herself."
"If she had just honestly married the guy, wouldn't he have paid off the loan?"
"Exactly."
"No matter what you say, it's an indisputable fact that this woman cheated. It couldn't be that someone framed her, right?"
These remarks made the Chen family even more uncomfortable. They called Fang Zhiyi, and his attitude was very direct: "If you're not satisfied, go ahead and sue me! I'll be waiting!" The Chen family didn't dare to go to court. They weren't in the right in this matter, not to mention that suing over this would cause them to lose face completely. Chen Yao also became the jinx of the family, and Father and Mother Chen kicked her out directly.
Zhou Kai, who had several patches of hair torn out, didn't dare to go out, but he received a call from his ex-girlfriend.
"Zhou Kai, they all abandoned me. Can you take care of me..." Chen Yao wept over the phone.
Zhou Kai frowned and hung up the phone, but after thinking about it for a moment, he called back: "Come over."
"You've saved up the commission from selling the house and the car. Save a little more later and open a small shop yourself; it should be enough to make a living."
Fang Zhiyi nodded. He now admired his grandfather with utmost prostration.
"Grandpa, tell me the truth, did you pick my dad up from the streets?"
"?"
"Why are you so smart, but my dad and I are both so stupid..."
"Uh..."
Zhong Jiafa invited Fang Zhiyi out for drinks to comfort him after another breakup, but seeing Fang Zhiyi's calm face, he was a bit puzzled.
"Oh right, right, do you know what happened to that Silly Dog Wang?" He remembered this matter.
"Who?"
"Your good bro," Zhong Jiafa teased. Seeing no reaction from Fang Zhiyi, he continued, "He borrowed money from our company to gamble, couldn't pay it back, and actually stole jewelry from his friend's house to sell. It seems he went straight to jail."
Fang Zhiyi froze for a moment and let out a sigh.
"Ah, stop thinking about it. Come on, let's drink! Later, I'll introduce you to some awesome girls!"
"Forget it, my grandpa won't let me."
"Isn't your grandpa dead?"
"Uh... he seems dead, but also like he isn't completely dead."
"Don't scare me. Are you traumatized?"
Fang Zhiyi saved up enough money and, with his grandfather's help, found a small storefront. On the day of the opening, a familiar voice came from behind. He turned around in confusion, still wearing his signature silly smile: "Sister Xu??"
Sister Xu was holding onto a man's arm. She stepped forward and patted him: "Long time no see! You kid, opening a shop and becoming a boss?"
"What boss? I'm just earning enough for food." Fang Zhiyi rubbed his head in embarrassment.
Sister Xu suddenly remembered: "Oh right, right, right, isn't this a coincidence? Yanzi, come here." She called out to a girl behind her. The girl wore her hair in braids and looked a little shy.
"I told you I'd introduce you to my cousin. We just happened to be out shopping together today," Sister Xu said with a face full of smiles.
Fang Zhiyi looked at the girl and shouted out of habit: "Grandpa, quick, quick, is this one trying to scam me?"
But his grandfather's voice didn't come. Fang Zhiyi started looking around, even running into the shop to rummage through things.
Suspended in mid-air, Fang Zhiyi watched the kid pick up a trash can and carefully look inside, feeling an urge to kill him.
"No matter what, I guess it's a success, right?"
Little Hei nodded: "Yeah, you're pretty good."
"Next time you pull something like this, I'll stuff you in the toilet and flush you away." Fang Zhiyi glared at Little Hei.
Little Hei turned his face away: "I don't know why either. Maybe his mind is too pure... I really couldn't pull him over."
Liu Mengmeng's boyfriend got out of prison, and the first thing he did was look for Liu Mengmeng everywhere, acting as if he had her completely under his control. Liu Mengmeng was ultimately forced to marry him, but her married life was unsatisfactory. Her thug boyfriend would constantly bring up how she had abandoned him and run away, treating her very poorly. Liu Mengmeng would sometimes wonder if things would have been better if she had agreed to Fang Zhiyi back then.
That was until the day she passed by the shop Fang Zhiyi opened and saw the girl chatting and laughing with him. Liu Mengmeng's face was filled with envy.
Chen Yao was hospitalized, and Zhou Kai abandoned her directly just like in the original plot. However, the Chen family clung to Zhou Kai, insisting that he was the one who caused their daughter to fall ill. The two families became thoroughly entangled. Driven to desperation, Zhou Kai sold his house to pay for Chen Yao's medical treatment. After Chen Yao was discharged, he moved right into the Chen household, acting completely shameless and often clashing with Father Chen and Chen Mingli. Chen Yao didn't receive good care and was hurriedly discharged after her surgery, leaving her health ruined. Looking at the mess at home, she could only cover her face and cry. When Chen Yao's parents thought of the high bride price Fang Zhiyi had offered, their hearts were filled with resentment toward Zhou Kai. Their days were spent in absolute chaos.
Fang Zhiyi's wedding day was very lively, with Yanzi leaning shyly against his side.
"Son, son," Fang Shucai called out to him mysteriously.
"What's wrong, Dad?" Fang Zhiyi asked with a smile on his face.
"Where's your grandpa? Has your grandpa really left?" Fang Shucai still felt a bit guilty looking at his son.
Fang Zhiyi suddenly froze, and after a moment, he slowly looked at Fang Shucai: "Do I look like your dad to you?"
Fang Shucai froze for a moment, then quickly yanked off his shoe and gripped it in his hand. "Once you're married, I won't give you a thrashing anymore! But until today is over, you're still not officially married!"
Fang Zhiyi burst into laughter, spun around, and bolted, the sound of her mother scolding her father trailing behind her.

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 the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

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.
