The scene in the dream was still Ye Mengfu's bedroom.
Strangely enough,
the bedroom door had transformed into a massive mechanical wheel, slowly rotating.
Ye Mengfu recognized it.
It was the Wheel of Fortune she had drawn herself.
The Wheel of Fortune, which should have been on a card, had somehow escaped.
It left her utterly flustered, unsure of what to do.
The scene before her
felt like something out of a fairy-tale castle, brimming with a dreamlike aura.
The next moment,
a blinding white light flashed, forcing Ye Mengfu to instinctively shield her eyes, unable to look directly at it.
After the sudden burst of light,
it gathered and condensed into a single point.
Sensing the light fade, Ye Mengfu lowered her hands from her eyes and looked ahead…
Just one glance
made her heart race and her cheeks flush crimson.
The runaway Wheel of Fortune had been "sealed" back into the card.
And the boy walking toward her, holding the card… was none other than Lin Yu!
"I-I'm sorry…"
Ye Mengfu had no idea why she was apologizing.
For some reason, she felt responsible—as if Lin Yu’s card escaping and causing mischief was her fault.
Lin Yu, now standing before her, didn’t scold her.
Instead, he patted her head, raised the card, and said,
"Helped you catch it. This time, keep it safe so it doesn’t run away again."
Ye Mengfu nodded obediently, like a little chick pecking at rice.
She let Lin Yu tuck the card back into her kangaroo pocket.
But this time,
after placing the card inside, Lin Yu’s hand lingered, gently wrapping around her waist.
Ye Mengfu tensed up, her breath hitching, her body frozen.
Especially when she saw Lin Yu’s face gradually leaning closer.
Helpless, she could only squeeze her eyes shut and surrender to fate.
……
"Hah…"
"Hah…"
The dream vanished.
Ye Mengfu abruptly sat up in bed,
gasping for air.
In the dream, she had been holding her breath for what felt like at least two minutes.
If not for her brain’s self-preservation kicking in, she might have stayed in that suffocating state.
Realizing it had all been a dream,
Ye Mengfu covered her face in embarrassment and flopped back down.
Why had she dreamed something like that?
She had never had such a dream before!
Could it be…?
Ye Mengfu rolled over and pulled out the Wheel of Fortune card from under her pillow.
Do tarot cards really have special powers?
Just keeping it under her pillow had made her dream about it.
And not just any dream—
that kind of dream.
Ye Mengfu quickly sat up again, intending to move the card somewhere else.
But after sluggishly making it to the edge of the bed, she froze, unable to take the next step.
Gently tracing the card’s intricate patterns, she recalled the words Lin Yu had said to her earlier that day.
After hesitating for a long while,
she crawled back under the covers and tucked the card right back under her pillow.
……
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! Your intimate relationship with the Joyous Sect’s Talisman Master has deepened, advancing to the fourth realm—"Silken Threads of Fate"!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
The system’s notification blared in his mind,
"Thoughtfully" forcing Lin Yu’s brain to boot up.
He grabbed his phone and checked the time… 5:35 AM!
Did that little artist have some weird nightmare or something?
Pleasant dreams usually lasted until sunrise, waking you up naturally.
How could she only make it to 5:30?
Oh, really?
Daring to force him awake like this?
Fine.
He’d haunt her dreams for a whole week.
She’d learn what it meant when—
He entered the dream, and the entire sect would tremble!
Lin Yu flopped back down and dozed off again.
Just as he had predicted the day before,
at exactly 7:00 AM,
the system’s wake-up call arrived on schedule…
[Ding!]
[Today is another day full of hope!]
[Continue exploring the Path of Joy, Host~ Strive to become the pillar of the sect!]
Lin Yu groggily opened his eyes.
Once again, he recalled the classic lyrics from an underground rap legend:
"But~ it just won’t switch to vibrate~ it just won’t switch to vibrate!"
He reopened the system interface.
After just one day, his status in the sect had changed again.

Chief Disciple of the Joyous Sect!
All that hard work for a day hadn’t been in vain!
From a small-time errand boy to a big-time errand boy!
The newly added daily missions made that abundantly clear.
Aside from the updated [Daily Missions],
two new [Urgent Missions] had also appeared!
Sister Ruirui must have lost a pet—probably frantically searching everywhere right now.
Her pet shop wasn’t just for selling animals.
Many were boarded there for care.
Losing her own pet would be heartbreaking enough.
But losing someone else’s? That would be a disaster.
As for the other urgent mission, the description was straightforward.
His little girlfriend, Chi Qingshui…
Was having her monthly visitor!
If a girl told a guy:
"It’s that time, and my stomach hurts,"
the typical responses were:
"Drink more water."
"Drink warm water."
"Drink brown sugar water."
"Maybe take some painkillers?"
Lin Yu couldn’t just say the same, even if he thought it.
But!
As the Chief Disciple of the Joyous Sect, how could he be stumped by something as trivial as a menstrual cycle?
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
