Cat would never have imagined.
The "Aunt Ruxue" software she designed
Could actually be used as a "dating sim"!
The more precise the data Maomao fed into it, the more convenient it became for Lin Yu to use.
Lin Yu firmly believed:
Any single woman over twenty-five, as long as her orientation was normal, could be successfully pursued—if the right method was applied.
If the pursuit failed, it only meant the approach was wrong.
And Maomao’s design perfectly compensated for the real-world drawback of "nine out of ten pickup attempts ending in failure."
Failed?
Just restart the game!
[Key Point 24: Aunt Ruxue won’t discuss "past experiences" with someone she’s only known for half an hour.]
[Key Point 25: Aunt Ruxue is open to listening if the other person brings it up—and even enjoys it!]
Lin Yu: "Tsk! She’s a tough nut to crack, huh?"
[...]
[Key Point 156: Aunt Ruxue must return home by 10 p.m.]
[Key Point 157: Aunt Ruxue dislikes impulsive young men and prefers those with rich life experience.]
[...]
[Key Point 209: Aunt Ruxue is a committed single—no marriage, no relationships.]
[Key Point 210: Aunt Ruxue could talk about "past experiences," but she avoids it because she simply hasn’t had any.]
[...]
[...]
[Key Point 1012: After the fact, Aunt Ruxue will pay him a hefty sum as hush money.]
"Phew…"
Lin Yu exhaled deeply,
Tossed his headphones onto the table.
The past two hours
Felt like conquering an impossibly difficult dating sim!
Fortunately,
His past life had given him enough experience, and this life had blessed him with ample confidence.
That’s how he managed to "clear" this game—played out in reality.
If Maomao’s character profiling was accurate,
Lin Yu already had a full strategy for handling Aunt Ruxue.
He still had a photoshoot later, so there was no time for a replay.
But with all [1012] key points memorized, a second run wouldn’t take long!
Du Ruxue would never guess—
Before even arriving in Pingchuan City,
She was already "meat on the chopping block"!
...
Evening.
Famous Martial Arts Gym.
"Headmaster, are we dismissing the students early today?"
"Did something happen? Is someone here to challenge the gym again?"
"Headmaster, if it’s a challenger, you have to tell us!"
"Even if we can’t win, we’ll face it together!"
"Headmaster, those guys who just went in… they all looked like trained fighters?"
"..."
Several instructors crowded around Headmaster Xia Xiashan, questioning her about the situation.
Ever since Lin Yu effortlessly swept through the gym,
Everyone had been on edge.
The slightest disturbance—unexpected visitors—
Immediately made them think: Another challenger?
Xia Xiashan waved them off, her expression stern.
"Those aren’t troublemakers. The woman you were discussing earlier… is my relative."
"Dismiss the students for today. We’ll make up the missed sessions later—double the usual time."
"No classes today. Close the gym."
Without waiting for their murmurs to settle,
She hurried toward the lounge to meet the so-called "relative."
At the lounge entrance,
Black-vested bodyguards stepped aside, letting Xia Xiashan pass before sealing the door again.
On the sofa inside,
A woman in a fiery red backless dress sipped coffee with deliberate elegance.
Few could pull off such a dress—
Yet she sat there, silent, radiating an overwhelming presence.
"Aunt Ruxue, why didn’t you tell me you were coming early…?"
"I could’ve picked you up from the airport…"
The usually confident Xia Xiashan
Now stammered like a scolded child, avoiding Du Ruxue’s gaze.
Du Ruxue smiled, patting the empty spot beside her.
"Come sit, Shan Shan."
Xia Xiashan: "!!!"
Just sitting… Should be fine, right?
She hesitated—until Du Ruxue’s next words cut in:
"Don’t be so stiff. It’s been a while since we last met."
"This is your gym, not my home."
"Shan Shan, acting like this… makes it seem you don’t welcome me?"
Xia Xiashan stiffened.
No more hesitation—
She sat down immediately,
Though she kept a slight distance.
"Aunt Ruxue, of course I welcome you!"
"I just thought… you must be here about Maomao, right?"
"Don’t blame Maomao—or Weiwei. It’s my fault for indulging them."
"If anyone should be punished, it’s me."
As the eldest sister,
She shouldered responsibility without hesitation.
Even if the apartment idea wasn’t hers,
Now that the truth was out, she wouldn’t let the others take the fall.
Braced for reprimand,
She waited—only for Du Ruxue to ignore her words entirely,
Sipping her coffee slowly.
One sip. Another. And another…
Xia Xiashan: "..."
This silent "waiting for judgment" was true torture.
There was no predicting what would come next.
Finally,
After many sips, Du Ruxue set down her cup and spoke—
"Shan Shan, your gym’s coffee is excellent."
"Next time, tell me about such good coffee in advance."
"Don’t wait until I’ve tasted it to learn you’ve been hiding… such a delightful brew."
"Heh. Since it’s been so long… don’t you have any interesting news to share?"
Xia Xiashan took a deep breath, steadying herself.
So… is this over?
Or is Aunt Ruxue just saving the real confrontation for Maomao?
But at least she’d been given an out.
Pushing the topic further might backfire.
Maybe she could warn—
"Shan Shan, don’t tell Maomao I’m here."
"And I’d better not catch you secretly tipping her off."

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)
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
