Qian Yinshang’s face was filled with bewilderment, her previously confident expression instantly clouded by confusion.
Her Chinese proficiency was just enough for basic communication, so she didn’t fully grasp the vulgar and insulting words in Lin Ran’s remarks.
However, she clearly understood when Lin Ran called her ugly—a massive blow to someone who had always prided herself on her looks.
“How dare you call me ugly? This face of mine won the Medical Beauty Angel award in South Korea…”
“Huh? Now even knife-shaped faces can win beauty pageants? How the standards have fallen. And let me correct you—you’re not ‘Great Korea’…”
“Your country’s ‘sticks’ aren’t great at all. They’re just this tiny.” Lin Ran made a pinching gesture.
It was a gesture any Korean would recognize, and Qian Yinshang nearly fainted from rage.
Especially since Lin Ran had mocked her face—a masterpiece sculpted by renowned plastic surgeons, every contour meticulously crafted with money.
Paired with expensive skincare products, her skin remained taut and smooth, as if by magic.
Sure, she was a bit older, but she believed she had aged gracefully. How could anyone call her ugly?
And on top of that, Lin Ran had insulted all Koreans.
“Fine, fine. If I don’t ruin you, my name isn’t Qian Yinshang.”
Lin Ran: ???
“Oh right, you’re Qian Yinshang. Not just ugly, but old too. And yet you still think you’re a ‘thousand-tone goddess’? You Koreans are something else. The only beautiful thing about you is your delusions.”
Lin Ran showed no restraint, his voice echoing through the hall like a judgment bell.
His eyes brimmed with disgust, as if he were staring at something revolting.
Everyone’s jaws dropped in shock, their expressions frozen in disbelief.
The Luo Corporation executives accompanying them were especially impressed—Lin Ran’s verbal assault was brutal.
One executive finally mustered the courage to speak. “Ms. Qian, perhaps you should go to dinner now. No need to waste time here.”
His voice was strained, his eyes filled with concern. He wanted to defuse the situation before it escalated further.
Qian Yinshang was already fuming, and his suggestion only enraged her more. She glared at him viciously.
“You’re telling me to go eat? Can’t you see I’m about to explode? Is this how Luo Corporation treats its guests?”
“You—get this man sent to my hotel right now, or I’ll cancel all cooperation with Luo Corporation.”
Her voice was sharp with fury, each word dripping with venom.
She refused to let Lin Ran off easily and intended to use the partnership as leverage to force Luo Corporation to side with her.
The two executives exchanged glances, their expressions turning icy as they looked at Qian Yinshang like she was already dead.
Internally, they scoffed: Even if your husband and every executive from Samsung were here, none of you could touch this man.
Cancel the deal? Dream on.
You have no idea who you’re dealing with.
Just then, a cold, cutting voice sliced through the tension—crisp and merciless, like a winter wind piercing straight to the bone.
“Fine. Then consider Samsung’s cooperation terminated. From now on, we’ll systematically dismantle Samsung’s operations. At the very least, you won’t survive in China.”
It was Luo Yao. Every word carried unshakable authority.
Qian Yinshang’s eyes widened in shock and confusion.
“CEO Luo… what did you just say?” Her voice trembled as the gravity of the situation dawned on her.
She had only wanted to pressure Luo Corporation into handing over Lin Ran—not actually cancel the deal.
Luo Yao strode toward her, each step deliberate and heavy, as if crushing Qian Yinshang’s heart underfoot.
Lin Ran recognized that sound—Luo Yao’s angry footsteps. Whenever they echoed, someone was about to pay dearly.
Sure enough, a sharp smack rang out as Luo Yao’s palm struck Qian Yinshang’s face.
Qian Yinshang staggered, her cheek burning with a bright red handprint. The pain left her mind blank.
“CEO Luo… why did you hit me?” She clutched her face, eyes brimming with indignation and hurt.
Luo Yao suddenly turned, her gaze softening instantly as she looked at Lin Ran with tender affection—like a docile kitten.
“A’Ran, should I just get rid of this woman now?” Her voice was sweet and gentle, a stark contrast to the icy tone she’d used moments ago.
Lin Ran smiled and ruffled her hair, his eyes full of adoration.
He loved this side of Luo Yao—the ruthless protectiveness that melted his heart.
Now, he didn’t feel the slightest urge to escape. In fact, he wanted her to go even wilder, to chase away anyone who dared approach him.
Seeing their interaction, Qian Yinshang finally understood. Panic flashed in her eyes.
“CEO Luo… I’m sorry! I didn’t know he was your man! Please don’t cancel the deal. It won’t benefit you either! Samsung may not match Luo Corporation, but we won’t take this lying down. If you attack our industries, we’ll retaliate.”
Though her words mixed apology with threat, her tone was pleading.
She knew if this deal fell through, her rivals back in Korea would seize the opportunity to destroy her. She couldn’t even imagine the consequences.
Worse, her son wasn’t the primary heir—his older half-brother was. That’s why she’d been desperate to secure this deal and gain some leverage.
“Retaliate? What can you possibly do? Where?”
Qian Yinshang froze.
She had no answer. Luo Corporation had no major holdings in Korea. Samsung ruled there—but nowhere else.
In a last-ditch effort, she tried another reckless move.
“CEO Luo, I’ve already apologized! What more do you want? If you like men, I’ll gift you even handsomer, stronger ones—even Korean celebrities! They’re like obedient slaves…”

What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

"Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.
