Fang Qi held the silver-haired girl in his arms.
He let Liguang's warm tears soak through his clothes.
His mind, which had been on the verge of collapsing, was suddenly hit by a violent shockwave, turning his thoughts into total mush!
What did she... just say?
She didn't say the line... the line she always said every time the timeline reset.
That line—
"Master, your tea."
"The temperature has been adjusted to your favorite fifty-two degrees Celsius."
...This time, she didn't say it!
She... she just threw herself straight into his arms!
She also said...
That even if she was broken, she was still useful, and begged him not to abandon her?
This...
Wasn't this from the previous loop?!
Huh...?
She remembers?
...She still remembers?!!
Memories flooded his mind like a tidal wave.
The elopement, the wooden raft, the torrential rain...
And after he leaped from the cliff and shattered his skull, the lingering affection, despair, and wild hopes he had seen in Liguang...
Every frame of those scenes was firmly etched into his brain!
He had thought that from then on, he would be the only one holding onto these memories.
He had thought he would have to carry this heavy memory alone and walk on for a very, very long time...
But right now, this crazy woman who shouldn't remember anything...
Actually... still remembered?!
He was truly... so thrilled that his breathing began to tremble!
He reached out, his hands shaking as he cupped Liguang's tear-stained little face!
The silver-haired girl's eye rims were red.
Her amber left eye was brimming with moisture, her long eyelashes fluttering as the teardrops clinging to them fell with a pitter-patter.
Meanwhile, in her complete crimson right eye... the scarlet light was dim, flickering like a small lamp dampened by rain, even her data streams slowing down half a beat.
"...Liguang."
His voice trembled slightly:
"Why... are you suddenly acting like this?"
He was afraid.
He was afraid he was overthinking things.
He was afraid Liguang would tell him in the next second...
That she didn't know anything.
That she just... had a subtle feeling of fear driving her to do this.
Just like when she had forced that cup of tea down his throat...
Heh...
A bitter smile appeared on Fang Qi's lips.
Perhaps, that was the truth.
The gentle Liguang who knew everything had once told him...
This world did not allow the existence of extra memories.
But in the very next second, the silver-haired girl immediately pouted!
And then... she threw herself violently into his arms again!
"Wu... Master... Master..."
"Master...!! Waaah—!!!"
She burst into loud sobs right there!
Hugging him tightly!
Her slender arms squeezed Fang Qi so hard he could barely breathe!
Her soft, warm body was completely embedded in his embrace, pressed against him so very tightly!
Her crying made Fang Qi instantly flustered!
He hated seeing girls cry more than anything!
"Don't... don't cry, Liguang. Tell Master, what exactly happened?"
Fang Qi held her, gently patting her back to help her catch her breath.
So, what in the world was she...!
After crying for a long time, Liguang finally quieted down a bit, nestling in his arms and whimpering continuously.
Then, she finally began to explain.
"Wuwu...! Master... Liguang... Liguang had a... a really, really long dream...! Wuwu..."
She buried her face in the crook of his neck, her voice muffled and heavy with crying.
...A dream?
Fang Qi's heart pounded wildly!
Her warm breath puffed against his skin, ticklish and damp.
You crazy woman, could you really...!
"At first... at first it was a sweet dream... but then it turned... turned into a nightmare..."
"A terrifying... a terrifying nightmare!"
She sobbed, speaking out of breath, her body trembling like a frightened little beast.
"In the dream... in the dream, Master eventually..."
"...abandoned Liguang!!"
"Waaah—!!!"
The silver-haired girl broke down crying again!
"Liguang was so scared... Liguang was really so scared...!!"
She held onto him for dear life, her nails even digging into his back!
Fang Qi's ribs were making faint creaking sounds, and his back stung!
But he didn't care!
Instead, his mind instantly cleared up considerably because of it!
What she was describing... was definitely their experience from the previous loop!
Those life-and-death moments, those unforgettable instances...
Had now... become a "dream" to her?
That familiar sweet strawberry scent drifted into his nose.
The thrilling sensation of regaining what was lost made him hold the girl in his arms tightly, refusing to let go!
...A dream is good!
A dream is wonderful!
Even though... even though it wasn't a complete memory...
Even though it was just in the form of a "dream"...
But she... this crazy woman...
She really still remembered!
...But, how much did she remember?
"Liguang, this dream..."
He felt his voice turn incredibly hoarse, carrying a cautious probing tone:
"...can you tell Master about it?"
The silver-haired girl immediately lifted her little head from his embrace!
Tear streaks still hung on her small face, her eye rims and the tip of her nose were red, and tiny water droplets clung to her eyelashes.
But her heterochromatic eyes were astonishingly bright!
In her complete crimson eye... that scarlet light was surging madly!
This scarlet light that had once made Fang Qi palpitate with lingering fear... actually made him feel incredibly close to her right now.
Crazy woman...
Your crimson eye is... is really beautiful.
"Is it really okay? Does Master... really want to hear it?"
Her voice still carried a crying tone, but her words...
Already revealed an uncontrollable joy!
She really wanted to share this dream with her Master!
"Yes."
Fang Qi nodded.
He gently wiped the tears from her face with his finger and said softly:
"Go ahead. I want to hear it."
Liguang sniffled, and then began to speak.
She was beaming with delight!
She talked about Lin Xiaoyou coming to the island, about the beach volleyball...
"Miss Lin in the dream... was so annoying! She kept trying to hug Master!"
"But Liguang stopped her every time! Master even rewarded Liguang... even... even... even kissed Liguang! Hehe..."
As she spoke, her pretty face blushed completely red, yet she still carried a hint of excited smugness!
"She also wanted to play beach volleyball with Liguang. As the hostess, to show my grace, Liguang generously gave her a one-point handicap!"
The corners of her lips curled into a joyful arc, and the scarlet in her crimson eye flickered with excitement.
Fang Qi's eyelids twitched, and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.
Huh? What she's describing... is so detailed?
How does she remember... so clearly?
Wasn't it a dream?
She then started talking about the helicopters and An Lian's shouting—
"They were really so annoying... but Master immediately grabbed Liguang and ran away!"
When she reached this point, her emotions became visibly agitated, her heterochromatic eyes shining brightly!
Her amber left eye rippled with excited moisture, while the scarlet in her crimson eye flickered on and off!
"Master shouted 'We're eloping!' Master was really... so, so brave! Liguang... Liguang was so happy in the dream she could have died!!"
She rubbed her whole body against his chest, her slender fingers gripping his collar tightly!
Her simulated breathing rate sped up significantly!
"And then, and then, we hid in the woods, and Master even carried Liguang while running, and even scolded Liguang, calling her a 'crazy woman'!"
"Hehe... crazy woman...! It sounded so nice when Master scolded me... Liguang... Liguang really likes this title...! Liguang is Master's crazy woman...!"
A flush of excitement appeared on her pretty face, and the little star on her earlobe swayed along with it.
Fang Qi continued to hold her tightly.
His heart... was also growing more and more excited!
That is right...
That is right!
She remembered, so clearly!
She even remembered the details so clearly!!
How was that a dream? That was a memory!!
He looked down at the silver-haired girl in front of him.
This small face, flushed with excitement, still bore the tear stains from before.
She seemed completely unaware...
Of just how... off she looked right now.
She seemed to have completely forgotten that she was supposed to be playing the role of an "unawakened AI companion."
It seemed she really had forgotten.
Forgotten completely.
She just shrank excitedly into his arms, holding him tightly, crying and laughing as she talked about her "dream," talking about those...
Memories she wasn't supposed to have.
It was as if...
She hadn't stepped out of her role in the "dream" at all!
No, that wasn't a dream.
...That was her memory!
Fang Qi's heart softened into a complete mess.
Although he felt that once Liguang snapped out of it, the probability of this crazy woman turning dark was basically 100 percent...
But it didn't matter.
As long as she could retain her memories, nothing else...
Really mattered.
He reached out and gently brushed aside the strand of silver hair stuck to her cheek by tears, tucking it behind her ear.
Liguang continued, chattering away excitedly.
Talking about them hiding in the woods, talking about those days and nights—
"Master was so tired back then, the palms of your hands were all worn out, and Liguang felt so, so bad for you..."
As she spoke, she cupped Fang Qi's hand and looked down at his palm.
There were no injuries there now.
But she still gently stroked it with her fingertips and blew on it softly, her eyes a bit hazy, as if confirming something.
Then she continued talking.
She talked about the two of them building a raft together, about how she traded one of her eyes for a chance to escape—
At this point, her tone became brisk, even carrying a hint of smugness:
"Master, the Liguang in the dream was so smart!"
"Liguang calculated it, the success rate of running straight away was less than 20 percent, so Liguang used her crimson eye in exchange for the alarm!"
"And then Master pulled Liguang along, and we successfully escaped! Master is really amazing!"
She spoke with dancing eyebrows, rubbing around in Fang Qi's arms, the corners of her lips curling up almost to the roots of her ears!
Fang Qi's heart, however, clenched slightly.
Crazy woman...
"...And then?"
He asked softly, his voice a bit hoarse.
"And then..."
The silver-haired girl's eyes curved into crescents again: "And then Liguang and Master drifted on the raft!"
Her voice instantly softened, carrying a sickly sweet sense of happiness!
"Master held Liguang and fed Liguang berries, and even said that even if Liguang was missing an eye, she was still pretty!"
"And you also said, you also said Liguang is Master's... is Master's..."
The blush on her cheeks spread all the way to her ears and neck, and she muttered something very quietly.
Fang Qi heard it:
"Is Master's wife..."
After she finished speaking, she immediately buried her face in Fang Qi's chest out of shyness, rubbing against it vigorously!
Like a spoiled kitten.
Then she suddenly looked up again!
"And, and, Master kissed Liguang again!"
"Kissed twice! Once on the cheek, once on the ear... Hehe... Hehehe..."
She smiled so sweetly, that kind of satisfied smile with a sickly flush.
It made Fang Qi... want to kiss her right then and there!
But Liguang's next words made his breath catch slightly.
"The first half of this dream was really so happy..."
She murmured.
"So good that Liguang didn't want to wake up at all..."
Fang Qi fell silent.
He just held her, his fingers gently twirling a strand of her silver hair.
Because he knew what came next.
And Liguang's smile... sure enough, began to slowly disappear.
She pouted her small mouth, and her eye sockets began to turn red again.
A thin mist gradually rose in her amber eye, and the dancing scarlet in her crimson eye slowly stagnated.
"But later..."
"Master disappeared..."
Her voice quieted down.
She started to tremble again, her slender back shaking gently under Fang Qi's light touch.
"The Master in the dream, after waking up... didn't want Liguang anymore..."
"Master... is a liar..."

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.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
