After Liu Meng left, Lin Ran carried a plate of fruit into the study.
"Yao Yao, you must be thirsty after talking for so long. Have some fruit."
Luo Yao's eyes curved into crescents. "Okay."
Lin Ran's injuries had mostly healed over the past few days, and he could move around without any issues—even engaging in vigorous activities in bed.
Seeing Lin Ran crouching beside her to feed her, Luo Yao worried he might be straining himself. She gestured for him to sit on the chair, then settled herself onto his lap.
Lin Ran: "You think this is less tiring?"
Well, what could he do? His wife liked it, so he'd just spoil her.
As he fed her bite after bite, Luo Yao couldn't help but feel she was putting on weight again.
"Ah Ran, let’s go on a show."
"What show?"
"The one called 'The Boss and His Wife’s Shenanigans.' We joined last year, and this year they’re doing a poll—the top three couples get an extra episode, scheduled for this weekend..."
"Oh, sure."
Lin Ran thought it was about time they got some fresh air. As blissful as their secluded, love-filled days had been, they needed a change of pace.
He wanted to appear with Luo Yao in every corner of the world. He didn’t know about past dreams, but his future dream was to take Luo Yao on a never-ending honeymoon across the globe.
For a lifetime.
"Ah Ran doesn’t want to go? I can ask Liu Meng to cancel." Luo Yao pouted, feigning disappointment.
Lin Ran nearly melted at her cuteness. Only those who had witnessed her icy fierceness could truly appreciate how adorable her acting cute was now.
"I do want to go. As long as it’s with Yao Yao, I’ll love anything we do."
...
Early Saturday morning, the production crew arrived at the estate. They would be filming a two-day live broadcast, following the couple everywhere except when they slept.
At 7 a.m., the livestream went live.
Uncle Fu welcomed the crew into the villa, and Lin Ran recognized them immediately—all familiar faces.
Survivors who had eaten his cooking and lived to tell the tale.
Meanwhile, the barrage of comments in Lin Ran and Luo Yao’s livestream flooded the screen.
[Crazy Outsider]: "OMG, the official page didn’t lie! It’s really them! The divine duo Luo Yao and Lin Ran are reuniting on screen! Do you know how I’ve suffered these past months? I’ve resorted to shipping my dog and cat as a substitute!"
"If they don’t start feeding us sweetness soon, I’m mailing them knives. Wait, where’s Luo Yao? Only Lin Ran’s here?"
"Just broke up. I need Lin Ran to be my boyfriend. I’m so love-starved."
Some people in this chat are digging their own graves.
Lin Ran raised a finger to his lips. "Shh, my wife might still be asleep. Don’t wake her."
The first segment of the special was breakfast—hence the early start.
But with the female lead still in bed, what were they supposed to film?
Lin Ran bustled around the kitchen, stirring uneasy memories among the crew.
He glanced at them and extended a sincere invitation.
"Want to join us?"
The entire crew shook their heads like rattles.
Lin Ran smirked. "Your loss."
Today’s breakfast featured his homemade steamed buns, specifically requested by Luo Yao.
Paired with soy milk and side dishes, it was a simple, heartwarming Chinese breakfast.
Once everything was ready, Lin Ran returned to the bedroom to wake Luo Yao.
They’d stayed up late the previous night, so he’d let her sleep in while he prepared breakfast.
Basking in his affection, Luo Yao had nodded drowsily.
Back in the bedroom, he found her already awake and dressed. Luo Yao didn’t need elaborate makeup to stun—her natural beauty was breathtaking.
Her fair neck adorned with 'Eternal Love,' a ¥13,000 bracelet on her wrist looking like it cost ¥130 million.
"Wife, you’re gorgeous."
Luo Yao’s eyes curved again. "I’m going on camera—of course I have to look my best."
"You’re always beautiful."
"But I still need to put in the effort."
The more dazzling she looked, the clearer the warning to any would-be homewreckers: Don’t even think about it.
Not that anyone dared to make a move on Lin Ran anymore, but better safe than sorry.
"Relax, no one can steal me away—because I won’t allow it. Let’s go eat."
Luo Yao reached out, and Lin Ran effortlessly scooped her up, hands supporting her as he carried her out of the bedroom.
Thankfully, his injuries had healed enough—otherwise, he wouldn’t have lasted long.
Stepping out, they delivered a lovey-dovey blow to the entire internet.
"Ah Ran, am I heavy?"
"Light as a feather," Lin Ran lied through his teeth, but his actions spoke louder than words.
“Holy—! I thought I was prepared, but this sweetness is lethal. Couple goals… no, wife-spoiling goals!”
[Fifty Explosive Gang]: "Wait, wasn’t Lin Ran injured? There were rumors he was hospitalized. How’s he recovered so fast? Does Luo Yao not care about his well-being?"
[Murong Qing, who loves eating pickled fish balls]: "Who let this idiot in? Since when do we police couples? Just enjoy the sugar, damn it!"
Back in the dining room—a distance neither short nor long—Lin Ran set Luo Yao down and resumed feeding her.
The moment the first bun touched her lips, she froze.
"Huh? This… tastes even better than before! What filling did you use?"
Lin Ran: "Filled with love for you."
Livestream: "..."
Pffft—what kind of cheesy crap is this? Unrealistic fluff! 'Filled with love'? Give me a break.
“Gotta admit, Lin Ran’s stamina is impressive. Did you see how far it was from the bedroom? He carried her the whole way. Isn’t this too spoiling? Is Luo Yao the domineering CEO here or a pampered wifey?”
Luo Yao’s current demeanor did resemble a doting, love-struck wife, her gaze fixed adoringly on Lin Ran.
The crew filmed on, swallowing dog food between shots.
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?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ...

Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
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)
