"Lin Tianba, this is all what you owe me. The reason I'm sparing your life today isn't because I'm kind, but because I want to personally watch your wife and son abandon you."
"Of course, if they're willing to take care of you, I won't mind letting you enjoy your family bond. But if they leave you, I'll still find you a nice place to retire peacefully."
"See how good I am to you?"
Letting him enjoy family bond?
Peaceful retirement?
What a joke—it's all lies.
"Get him a manure truck for the ride home, and throw in some extra snow while you're at it. After all, he's injured and needs ice packs. Ah, I'm just too kind-hearted. Tell me, why am I so soft?"
All the bodyguards were speechless. Even Shen Jingbing was at a loss for words.
You're kind.
So very kind.
More like fake kindness with a side of malice.
Having dealt with Lin Tianba, Lin Ran felt much more at ease.
Lin Tianba's return would lead to one of two outcomes: either Liu Yuemei and Lin Jian would scramble to treat his injuries, or they'd completely abandon him.
Of course, Lin Ran believed the latter was far more likely.
No matter the outcome, Lin Tianba would eventually end up in a "peaceful retirement home."
After all, attempted murder wasn't something that could just be brushed aside.
The livestreamers outside had already been cleared away by the estate staff when Lin Ran appeared, so they didn't witness what happened in the distance.
But thanks to Shen Jingbing's livestream, they all knew the "Century's Worst Father" was here.
They had waited, hoping to catch a glimpse of him, but he never showed.
Just as everyone began wondering if Lin Ran had forgiven Lin Tianba, a G-wagon roared past, towing a flatbed cart.
The bizarre sight left people stunned.
Piled high with snow, the cart raised nothing but questions.
No one could have guessed that beneath that mountain of snow lay Lin Tianba, unconscious from both pain and frostbite.
"Damn, the Dongtian Estate really is something—even their snow trucks are G-wagons."
"You think that G-wagon leaks snow?"
"Are you dumb? Leaking rain is normal, but snow? No way."
Lin Ran returned to Villa No. 1, where Luo Yao was already waiting on the living room sofa.
Though she hadn't followed him outside, she had seen everything clearly.
The current Lin Ran kept surprising—even shocking—her.
Without hesitation, Lin Ran pulled Luo Yao into a tight embrace in front of all the servants, planting messy kisses all over her.
He no longer cared about their surroundings or who might be watching.
If he wanted to show affection, he would.
This was the right way to handle his yandere wife.
"My, my, what's got you so happy, A-Ran?"
True to form, Luo Yao was delighted. She didn’t mind his saliva smeared all over her—every part of Lin Ran belonged to her, and she could enjoy him however she pleased.
Uncle Fu immediately signaled the servants to lower their heads and close their eyes before quietly slipping out himself.
"I shattered Lin Tianba's limbs. He's in for a world of suffering now."
Truthfully, Lin Ran had held back. He could have made sure Lin Tianba never lived as a man again.
But the thought disgusted him, so he refrained.
Otherwise, Lin Tianba would be in even worse shape.
Not that his current state was much better.
"A-Ran, do you know what I would've done?"
Luo Yao had come up with a fitting end for Lin Tianba.
After a brief pause, Lin Ran answered.
"You'd probably slice him into a thousand pieces and dump his bones in a cesspool after he died."
Luo Yao froze.
His answer matched her thoughts exactly—word for word.
"A-Ran... you're incredible. That’s precisely what I had in mind. Disgusting people deserve to rot in even filthier places."
Lin Ran broke into a cold sweat. It wasn’t that he was incredible—he had simply witnessed that very fate for Lin Tianba in his past life.
Some images were far more impactful than words. Back then, he had seen it live. Now, he was just describing it.
"A-Ran, I never realized you understood me so well. That deserves a reward."
Lin Ran perked up instantly. Luo Yao's rewards were always... interesting.
"Can't wait."
To his utter surprise, Luo Yao spun around on the sofa, straddling him before pressing her lips to his.
Meanwhile, the servants practically buried their faces in the floor, silently backing away while searching for hiding spots.
The villa was too big—painfully spacious, in fact.
No place to hide, folks. What now?
As sounds began escaping Luo Yao, the servants gave up and bolted.
If they didn’t run now, they’d never get the chance.
"A-Ran, I’m going to Shanghai in a couple of days. Be good while I’m gone."
Lin Ran paused. Unknowingly, they had reached this point in time.
In his past life, Luo Yao hadn’t gained early fame, never participated in livestreams or school events.
Yet, she had eventually made sure the whole world knew just how unhinged she could be.
Lin Ran remembered—around this time, Luo Yao had achieved her "Who in the World Doesn’t Know Me?" moment in Shanghai.
Of course, for every person who admired her, there were just as many who despised her.
When Luo Yao went mad, blood and chaos followed.
Last life, I couldn’t go with you.
This time: "I’ll come with you. I don’t want us to be apart."
Luo Yao's eyes sparkled like she’d just discovered the world’s most dazzling diamond.
"A-Ran, you’d really come to Shanghai with me? I’m so happy."
If the world is vast, then I’ll walk every corner of it with you—because you are my world. —Lin Ran
"My life only has you left. Of course, wherever you go, I go."
Words might be the cheapest currency, yet they often strike the deepest chords.
"So, A-Ran, you’ll stay with me forever, right?"
Lin Ran gently stroked Luo Yao's head, wishing he could drown her in reassurance every second.
"Of course. Because you’re my number one."
"Number one?" Luo Yao tilted her head in confusion.
Lin Ran took her slender hand and placed it over his heart, letting her feel his steady pulse.
"Everyone meets countless people in their lifetime, but few earn a place in their heart. And among those, there’s always an order. You’ll always be my first. Even if one day you reject me, I’ll cling to you. If you really can’t stand me... just turn me into a specimen and keep me by your side."
Luo Yao was stunned. She adored this answer.
"A-Ran, want another reward?"
"Uncle Fu."
"Uncle Fu!"
"Uncle Fu?"
"Uncle Fu, where the hell are you?"
"Coming, coming!" Hearing Lin Ran's shouts from outside, Uncle Fu hurried back in.
"Young Master Lin, what do you need?"
"Prepare the tonic, quick!"
Uncle Fu’s face darkened, but he couldn’t resist offering advice.
"Young Lady, Young Master Lin, you’re still young. If you’re this reckless now, what’ll happen when you’re old?"
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? 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!"
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. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
