What is happiness?
Everyone has a different definition of happiness.
For Qi Chengwei, happiness is taking control of her own life and having the one she loves by her side.
Now that this goal has been achieved, there will be no more obstacles in her life.
After years of separation, Little Tong and Qi Chengwei have finally walked into the hall of marriage.
The wedding was held in the Magic City. The guest list wasn't long, as they had only invited their closest friends and family.
Qi Chengwei's parents showed up uninvited, claiming they were attending on behalf of the Qi family.
Listen to that, how ridiculous?
Attending their own daughter's wedding merely to represent the family.
Qi Chengwei ignored them the entire time and didn't introduce them to anyone.
Not having them thrown out was the height of her restraint.
Family?
She couldn't care less about it.
In her eyes, Little Tong was her only family.
The couple didn't invite many guests, but each one was truly remarkable.
For example, those present included Lu Xiangshi, Uncle Fu, Abu, Wang Bao, Liu Meng, Lin Ran, and others.
Luo Yao didn't come because it wasn't convenient for her to fly to the Magic City, so Lin Ran represented them both.
They gave Little Tong a huge red envelope, containing a sum that could set a person up for life.
After the ceremony concluded, the banquet officially began.
Glasses were raised in toasts all around, but no one paid any attention to Qi Chengwei's parents, leaving the two uninvited elders in an awkward position.
Finally, Qi Chengwei's father, Qi Jiandian, couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up and left with his wife.
The Qi family was currently struggling due to sanctions. They had come hoping to mend relations with Qi Chengwei, to ask her to show some mercy and give the Qi family a chance to catch their breath.
But now, it seemed that possibility was slim.
They couldn't understand how their once-good daughter had become so rebellious.
Qi Chengwei glanced at her departing parents with disdain.
In the past, she had seen the Qi family as an immovable mountain.
Now...
The Qi family was nothing special.
After the Qi parents left, the atmosphere became even more harmonious.
Lu Xiangshi was a girl who knew how to liven things up. She was in good spirits attending this wedding, though with a touch of melancholy.
She was happy because she had successfully taken over the Lu Family and gained a high status in Magic City's social circles, commanding respect wherever she went.
But anyone who mistook her for a naive, airheaded girl would be sorely mistaken. In reality, this young woman was highly capable.
Her tenure at the helm of the Lu Family hadn't been long, but the tactics she had displayed were extraordinary, shocking many of the Magic City's established companies and even earning Qi Chengwei's admiration for her business acumen.
At that moment, Lu Xiangshi was whispering with Liu Meng, occasionally glancing at Lin Ran and then sighing.
Lin Ran was utterly confused; he didn't recall having any particular connection with Lu Xiangshi.
Actually, Lu Xiangshi sighed because she felt a bit down.
She was a fervent fan of the "Goddess Luo Descends Upon Lin" pairing. This time, she only saw one half of the couple, and she began to worry if her favorite pairing had already broken up.
So, she pulled Liu Meng aside to discreetly inquire. Liu Meng lowered her voice to a whisper, ensuring only the two of them could hear.
When Lu Xiangshi learned the reason why Luo Yao hadn't come, her eyes lit up with excitement.
"Sister Meng, don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone about President Luo's pregnancy..." Lu Xiangshi vowed while continuing to plead pitifully.
"This little sister also wants to collect a signed photo of 'Goddess Luo Descends Upon Lin.' I wonder if Sister Meng could help me out? Please, I'm begging you."
To this request, Liu Meng offered her a piece of advice.
"Focus on managing the Lu Family in the Magic City well, and what you want will surely come true. Who knows, when their child is born, you might even get to be the godmother?"
Little did Liu Meng know that her words would become a driving force behind Lu Xiangshi's rapid growth.
No one could imagine just how dazzling Lu Xiangshi would become in the not-too-distant future? She and Qi Chengwei would together become the two golden flowers of the Magic City... (One can easily imagine.)
After the wedding, Lin Ran immediately flew back to the capital to find his wife for some cuddle time.
What is happiness for them?
For Luo Yao, happiness is every day with Lin Ran.
For Lin Ran, happiness is every day belonging to Luo Yao.
For this wedding, Lin Ran had been away from Luo Yao for less than twelve hours, but it felt like a lifetime.
Returning home, he couldn't wait to pull Luo Yao into his arms.
"Yaoyao, I'm not attending anyone else's wedding from now on. I simply can't bear to be apart from you."
Luo Yao felt the same way. When Lin Ran wasn't by her side, her heart felt like an abyss of endless darkness, only to be completely illuminated the moment he appeared.
"Ah Ran, there's still one wedding you need to attend—your own."
Lin Ran shook his head. "It's ours."
Luo Yao wasn't particularly fixated on the wedding itself; it was more about fulfilling Lin Ran's little wish.
She wasn't looking forward to it at all.
Not one bit, hmph~
"I can be your bride every single day, you know."
Lin Ran: ?.?
Their bodies were like strings of an instrument, each vibration composing a beautiful movement, the melody lingering and intoxicating.
Love is like a dance, you retreat, I advance; you turn, I spin. Joy blossoms in the rhythm, passion soars in the steps.
The chapters of happiness are written in the everyday.
Beyond that, life also needs a bit of fun.
Some fun arrives uninvited; some fun needs to be sought out.
In a certain dark basement in the capital.
A mother and son, who had only recently gained their freedom, were forced by circumstances to temporarily live there.
"Xiao Jian, can you give Mom some money to see a doctor? I don't have any money for medicine."
What illness did Liu Yuemei have? Those in the know, know.
Lin Jian glanced at Liu Yuemei but said nothing. He was in a state where everyone and everything annoyed him.
Lin Jian had been released later than Liu Yuemei, as his sentence had been longer.
After all, there were many online witnesses to how he had abused Lin Tianba.
His time in prison had been a living hell, even worse than Liu Yuemei's experience.
Initially, Liu Yuemei and Liu Ruxue tormented each other inside. After Liu Ruxue left, others took over tormenting her.
Every day brought beatings, verbal abuse, and she could only sleep in the bathroom.
Later, due to Liu Yuemei's... biological contagion, which infected fellow inmates, she was targeted even more viciously.
Anything could be used as a tool...

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
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.
