The security personnel of Luo Corporation were now in high spirits, a stark contrast to their previously downtrodden demeanor.
"You should leave now. Our manager said your cleaning methods are unprofessional—you're just making it dirtier. We've already hired professionals," they said.
The team leader was moved to tears. After how they had treated Luo Corporation, the company was now not only refusing their service but had even arranged for professional cleaners on their behalf.
He was genuinely touched—so much that he could cry.
Life returned to its usual rhythm, and Lin Ran resumed his daily routine of delivering meals to Luo Yao.
These days, Lin Ran had been pondering two questions.
First, what had shaped Luo Yao’s personality? Why had she become the way she was?
Second, should he acknowledge his ties to the Chen Family?
Chen Qingtian had repeatedly sent Wu Zhishang to contact him about it.
That night, after their usual "battle," Lin Ran sought Luo Yao’s opinion.
When in doubt, ask the wife—a wise choice.
If Luo Yao didn’t want him to acknowledge the Chen Family, he wouldn’t.
"Ah Ran, you belong to me alone. Why would you need other relatives?"
Luo Yao’s response was very much like her.
Lin Ran could only laugh helplessly.
"Fine, I’ll listen to you. Whether it’s true or not, I won’t bother with the DNA test. I won’t acknowledge them."
Pleased with his obedience, Luo Yao handed him a folder.
"No need for a test. I already had it done. You are indeed a Chen. This report just arrived today."
Bloodline verification was actually more complicated than paternity testing.
"You… how did you get their DNA?"
"Is that even a question? If I want something, I get it."
Lin Ran took the file, shaking his head with a wry smile.
"Alright, what else can I expect from Luo Yao? You’re my incredible wife."
He opened the report—it was indeed true.
"Ah Ran, remember this: even if they share your blood, they can never take any of your love. All of it belongs to me."
Lin Ran: "Of course. At most, I’ll meet them for a meal and ask about my mother. And I’ve promised you—I’ll come home to you every night, and I won’t seek out Liu Ruxue."
"Have I kept my word?"
Luo Yao shook her head.
"No. You did see Liu Ruxue."
Lin Ran: "She came to me! I never sought her out."
"Ah Ran… if you dare return to the Chen Family—"
Lin Ran immediately raised three fingers in oath.
"Luo Yao, I’ll stay by your side for the rest of my life. The Chen Family, the Lin Family—none of them matter more than you. If I’m lying, may my whole family—may my son be born without a—"
Luo Yao fell silent for a moment before repeating the words she needed to hear for reassurance.
"Ah Ran, I need confirmation."
"I love you. For a lifetime."
Reassured, Luo Yao nestled into his arms, and they fell asleep together.
The next day, Lin Ran asked Wu Zhishang to deliver the report to Chen Qingtian.
"My wife already verified it. It’s true, just as Chen Qingtian said. Tell her I acknowledge the connection, but I won’t return to the Chen Family. I’m busy, and my wife can’t bear to be apart from me."
"I’ll meet them some other time when I’m free."
Wu Zhishang was stunned.
Too busy to even visit once?
"Lin, Shen Jingbing got arrested again. This time it’s serious—Liu Ruxue is pressing charges. She claims he trespassed into her dorm and threatened her."
Lin Ran patted Wu Zhishang’s shoulder.
"Brother, just hire a lawyer. You know where Xu Kai’s law firm is. Send one or two lawyers to handle it."
"Do you know who can’t defend themselves?"
"Who?"
"The poor," Lin Ran answered bluntly. After a pause, he added, "We’re rich. Money solves all problems in this world."
At that moment, Wu Zhishang felt as if a door to wisdom had opened.
"Lin, I think we should invest more in our short videos."
Lin Ran nodded approvingly.
"Finally, you get it. Go ahead. Your brother is only rich in two things—his wife and his money. The wife is mine, but the money? Spend it however you want. It’s not like you’ll run out."
Wu Zhishang: ??? Are you even human?
Every day brought new events—some ordinary, some bizarre, some frustrating, some despairing.
For Lin Tianba, this day was one of despair and agony.
He repaid two bank loans, only to face a wave of tenants canceling leases. He was overwhelmed.
Construction sites halted, unsold properties piled up, and new shareholders demanded liquidation. He was at his limit.
For Liu Ruxue, it was a day of frustration. She reported Shen Jingbing to the police, but they demanded evidence—which she didn’t have.
She wanted Shen Jingbing locked away forever, but the officers told her even if he had assaulted her, the worst he’d get was a few days in detention and a fine.
A medical evaluation only showed minor injuries—far from meeting criminal standards.
With insufficient evidence and Shen Jingbing denying everything, Liu Ruxue could only watch as he swaggered out of the station.
All because she’d once ridden in Lin Ran’s Ferrari—why had this man fixated on her?
And it wasn’t even her who stole the keys—it was Lin Jian!
Liu Ruxue was breaking down. She knew Shen Jingbing would come for her again.
For Luo Yao, it was an ordinary day with an unusual twist—she was going on a business trip, a real one.
Luo Corporation’s latest pharmaceutical breakthrough, a drug poised to revolutionize medicine, required her presence to sign a crucial licensing agreement.
She hated being apart from Lin Ran, but there was no choice.
For Lin Ran, it was a bizarre day.
Not only was it the first night since his rebirth that he’d be without Luo Yao, but something happened that completely shattered his worldview.
The last time Luo Yao went back to the family estate, she unexpectedly returned by midnight. But this time, Lin Ran knew she wouldn’t be back tonight.
Lying on the soft bed, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
He had grown used to holding Luo Yao every night. Without her, he felt strangely unsettled.
"Meow!" A cat’s cry jolted him from his drowsiness.
Lin Ran got up and went to the balcony.
"Can’t sleep either?"
The black cat: "Meow—" [I sleep just fine, thanks.]
???
What the—? Did the cat just talk?
No, it hadn’t. It was still meowing.
But Lin Ran had somehow understood its meaning—as if the words had formed in his mind.
What the hell?
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...

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."
