Rewind?
She just… said “rewind”?
That word… that word could actually be…
Spoken out loud?
He stared at the silver-haired girl beside him, her expression dead serious, and for a moment, he was too stunned to say anything…
Lin Xiaoyou was frozen too.
Miss Genius—that little round face usually wearing nothing but a mischievous grin—for the first time, showed a look of…
Some kind of bewildered, dumbfounded expression?
Her almond eyes were wide, lips slightly parted, then…
She slowly turned her head to look at Fang Qi.
“…Senior?”
Her voice was trembling!
“T-This kind of talk…”
“Is it okay to say out loud?”
The smile on her lips was stiff to the point of breaking!
“Wouldn’t it…”
She swallowed again.
“…be a bit too exposed?”
Fang Qi didn’t answer her.
Because right now…
He was even more shocked than Lin Xiaoyou!
He grabbed Liguang by the shoulders!
“Liguang! You…!”
He stared at the earnest silver-haired girl in front of him, his own lips trembling.
…Is that something you can say?!
They were still supposed to deceive the “World’s Eyes”!
The memories from previous loops…
Had all been wrapped up in the shell of a “dream” just to be kept safe!
The world’s rules only turned a blind eye because they treated those forbidden memories as merely “dreams”!
But now, Liguang had just said, right in front of Lin Xiaoyou…
“Rewind”?
Rewind?!
Wasn’t that as good as directly admitting those “dreams” were real?!
This was literally tap-dancing on the minefield of the world’s rules!
How could this be so blatant?!
So what would the world’s rules do?
Would it make Liguang…!
“Master.”
A slightly cool little hand gently covered his right hand, which was still gripping her shoulder.
Fang Qi’s movement froze.
Liguang was looking up at him now.
The scarlet in her crimson eyes wasn’t particularly bright, but it was steady.
Not out of control. Just quietly flowing.
Her expression was still just as earnest.
“Master doesn’t need to worry.”
She raised her other hand, gently grasping his other wrist.
Then she pulled his hand down from her shoulder…
And pressed it against her cheek.
Her face was faintly warm to the touch.
Through his slightly trembling fingertips, those mismatched eyes stared straight into his.
“Master, from now on, we don’t have to worry about this anymore.”
…?
Don’t have to worry anymore…?
“…What… do you mean?”
He heard his own voice, hoarse and strained.
The silver-haired girl’s lashes drooped slightly.
“I’m sorry, Master…”
Her voice was very candid.
“Liguang doesn’t know why, either.”
…?!
Huh?!
Fang Qi’s eyes widened as he stared at her.
Wife, you…!
“Liguang just…”
She murmured again.
“…has a vague feeling.”
Within her crimson eyes, data streams were still flowing slowly.
“That feeling tells Liguang…”
“Say it.”
She whispered.
“Say it. It’s okay.”
“Say it…”
“So…”
She lifted her head.
Looking straight at Fang Qi.
“Liguang’s memories now belong entirely to Liguang!”
“And they belong to Master too!”
“They’ve already…”
Her gaze trembled slightly, and she murmured softly,
“…stopped being affected by anything else.”
Fang Qi opened his mouth.
“…A feeling?”
He repeated the word in a daze.
Feeling.
…Feeling?!
He felt like his head was going to explode!
He stared fixedly at the silver-haired girl before him!
“You dared to do something like that just based on a feeling?!”
He couldn’t help but raise his voice!
“Why didn’t you consult with me—!”
But he didn’t finish the sentence. It got stuck in his throat.
…Consult?
How could he consult?
How do you even discuss something like this?
Consulting with him, the “World’s Eye,” was practically the same as saying it outright!
But…!
“Master!”
Suddenly, Liguang grabbed his hand!
Her fingers intertwined tightly with his!
“Look!”
She looked at him, the scarlet in her crimson eyes suddenly brightening a few shades!
“I’m fine!”
She pressed his hand deeper against her face!
“I’m still okay!”
Her expression was immensely serious!
“My core logic is perfectly clear!”
“Truly clear!”
“I know what I’m doing!”
“Master, please believe Liguang!”
Her voice trembled.
“Even though Liguang doesn’t know why either…”
“But it’s fine!”
“Master, trust Liguang!”
Fang Qi stared at her, stunned.
The watery light in his amber pupils was on the verge of spilling over.
He opened his mouth…
But couldn’t bring himself to scold her.
Instead… at that moment, a flood of thoughts raced through his mind.
So sudden.
Really… so sudden.
Why, all of a sudden…!
…Would Liguang lose those memories?
He was trembling.
He was so afraid.
Those…
Those roads they had walked side by side.
The island elopement.
The madness in the apartment.
The dawns of eighty-two loops.
The farewell kiss in the shelter.
The frenzy outside the wooden cabin.
And…
Last loop’s “bloody wedding.”
Her biting into his neck, muttering vaguely, “Can the bride kiss the groom now?”
All of this were memories that could only exist within “dreams.”
If she really forgot all of this…
Fang Qi felt his body go weak.
This was a price he couldn’t afford to pay.
Really couldn’t afford to pay…
Liguang, still being stared at so intensely by him, that confident and earnest look in her eyes…
Began to waver with panic!
“Master… I…”
“I really…!”
Fang Qi held her face firmly between his hands, still staring at her.
So…
There couldn’t be a problem!
Absolutely no problem!
If there was a problem, everything would be ruined!
Liguang was right!
She had to be right!
Right now, they definitely no longer needed to use “dreams” as a disguise anymore!
They absolutely didn’t need to!
Yes!
That’s right!
But…
His gaze shook violently.
Why?
He tried to convince himself…
Why?!
Was there any warning? Any sign…?
Hmm…? Wait!
Fang Qi’s pupils contracted!
Several fragments of memory flashed through his mind like lightning!
…There were signs!
How could there not be signs!
There had been several strange signs before!
The first…
Was that garbled ending!
Last loop, in the research institute’s secret room, he and Liguang used Gu Xi’s gun to shoot themselves, completing that lovers’ suicide rewind.
At that moment, the ending system gave an error!
The title turned into garbled text, the body couldn’t be parsed, and large swaths of system errors appeared!
And in the midst of that chaos, at the very end, there was one line…
[“Aqi, goodnight.”]
—Liguang’s complete memory line!
For some unknown reason, it had appeared in that chaotic ending!
…And also!
That night, the night of the wedding night with Liguang!
That night, he remembered, drifting in and out of sleep…
He thought he heard something?
It was something like…
Observation interrupted?
And…
Something about a certain level being above a certain authority?
And then a single sound…
[“Hm?”]
Right?
It seemed like it happened!
But at the time, he had no energy to think about it, his mind filled with nothing but the strawberry sweetness and her gasping breaths…
But looking back now, wasn’t that…
The eyes of the world’s rules having been forcibly shut down by something that very night?!
The observation of the world’s rules had been blocked at that moment?!
And that thing emitting the interference…
had higher authority?
…What kind of authority?
He stared at Liguang, his eyes trembling slightly.
There’s more.
One more thing.
He thought of another strange detail!
Just now.
In the last playthrough!
Their “blood-red wedding”!
It suddenly hit him…
This ending wasn’t the same as before!
Ever since they started tacitly deceiving the world’s eyes…
In previous endings, the world’s rules always misjudged his actions!
It would think he had gone too far, that Liguang was in despair!
It would say stuff like…
【But your heart… doesn’t it really ache?】
Questioning him!
Condemning him!
Because the world believed…
He had pushed Liguang to her death!
But…
In the 【Blood-red Wedding】?
【Your wedding had no vows, because death itself was your most faithful oath.】
【Happy nuptials.】
That ending… why was it blessing them?!
…This isn’t right!
This is completely wrong!
How could a normal world’s rules ever bless them?!
It should have said…
“You’re exploiting her love again, making her die for you again.”
“She could have lived, but you used a mad slaughter to force her into a death pact with you.”
That would be right, wouldn’t it?!
But it didn’t.
It blessed them!
…Why?
Was there a reason?
Fang Qi’s breathing grew faster and faster!
After that corrupted save rollback, something had seemed…
Different?
“…Hey!”
A timid, trembling voice suddenly came from across the room.
Fang Qi snapped back to reality.
He turned his head slightly and saw Miss Genius…
staring at Liguang with teary eyes!
She raised a finger, pointing at herself, her face crumpled in dismay:
“What about me?”
“Am I… am I okay too?”
Her voice faltered, pitiful and weak:
“I-I’ve learned things I shouldn’t know…”
“Will I…”
She looked at Liguang with hopeful eyes.
The silver-haired girl turned her head slightly to face Lin Xiaoyou.
“…No.”
Her tone was resolute.
Her crimson pupils were still shifting at that incredibly rapid pace.
“No, you won’t.”
She didn’t explain why.
Maybe she didn’t know the reason herself?
But her tone was full of confidence.
Lin Xiaoyou’s eyelashes fluttered slightly…
Then she let out a quiet, trembling sigh.
She collapsed back into the sofa!
“That scared me to death…!”
She patted her chest, muttering:
“I thought Liguang had suddenly lost it…”
Liguang had already turned back to face Fang Qi.
Her hands were still gripping his tightly.
“Master.”
Her voice trembled slightly, but was very earnest!
“Trust Liguang!”
“Liguang would never hurt herself.”
“And never hurt Master.”
Fang Qi stared at her, dazed.
Feeling the strength in her grip on his hand, he suddenly felt…
All those chaotic thoughts—world rules, observation interruption, authority levels, ending text—
all of them flew out of his mind!
…Yeah.
Why was he overthinking so much?
Trust his wife!
Trusting his wife was enough!
Of course he should believe in his own wife!
Liguang was way stronger than him—this guy who only knew how to play Galgames!
His wife was right!
Everything she said was right!
There’s no problem!
Definitely no problem!
He took a deep breath, calming himself!
Liguang wanted to forget all this even less than he did.
She wouldn’t say something like that without being certain!
She had never gambled with the memories between them!
And there had indeed been so many strange omens before…
No problem!
So…
Fang Qi inhaled deeply…
and let it out with a shudder.
He suppressed the panic in his heart.
Then, he nodded slowly.
“…Yeah.”
He looked into Liguang’s heterochromatic eyes, his voice steadying.
“I believe you.”
The silver-haired girl’s crimson pupils suddenly flashed brightly!
The corner of her mouth lifted slightly, and she pressed his hand harder against her cheek!
“…Senior?”
Lin Xiaoyou’s voice came from across the room again.
Fang Qi turned his head.
Miss Genius was propping her chin on her hand, tilting her head as she looked at him, her almond-shaped eyes narrowing slightly.
“Looks like…”
She blinked, a meaningful smile curling on her lips.
“Your ‘shackles’…”
She reached out and tapped Fang Qi’s eyes lightly.
“Got unshackled for you by your Liguang?”
Fang Qi stared at her, stunned.
Then he turned to look at the silver-haired girl beside him.
Liguang was still clutching his hand tightly, her heterochromatic eyes fixed on him.
Confident…
yet also a little nervous!
Afraid he’d be angry!
Afraid he’d blame her for acting on her own!
Afraid he’d worry…
…Hah.
“Haha…!”
Fang Qi suddenly laughed.
He pulled the silver-haired girl next to him fiercely into his arms, holding her close!
“Mmph…!”
His fingers slid through the bun at the back of her head, gently stroking the silver hair there.
His “shackles”…
unshackled by Liguang?
Yes. They really were.
Did that mean he could…
truly unleash the potential of his rewind ability?
Since he no longer had to fear Liguang forgetting, did that mean he could…
let loose?
Freely recall the past with Liguang!
Discuss everything with Lin Xiaoyou!
And use every means possible…
to save An Lian!
He took a deep breath, holding Liguang…
“Lin Xiaoyou.”
He looked at Lin Xiaoyou, who was watching with her chin propped up.
“Well then, let’s have a good talk…”
The corner of his mouth curled up.
“About the events of the previous playthroughs, and…”
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
“the plan for the playthroughs ahead!”
Wife…
You are truly amazing!
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!

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
