"Hua, I already have quite a few suits; why did you prepare so many for me?" Lin Xuan asked, puzzled.
He rarely wore such attire.
Su Hua leaned on the sofa armrest, resting her head on her hand.
Her white evening gown accentuated her flawless silhouette.
The alluring woman's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she smiled faintly, "Lin Xuan, why don’t you try them on to see if they fit?"
"They should fit," Lin Xuan replied.
Su Hua's selections were always tailored to his measurements; how could they not fit?
"Didn’t you say you’d do whatever I asked today, Lin Xuan?" Su Hua teased, raising an eyebrow.
Lin Xuan wasn’t sure what Su Hua was up to but complied and went to change.
He randomly picked a red suit and was about to head to the bathroom when Su Hua called him back.
"What is it?" Lin Xuan inquired.
"Change here." Su Hua smiled, her eyes gleaming.
Though they had been intimate before, changing in front of Su Hua felt... different.
Struggling to hold back, Lin Xuan eventually swapped his black suit for the red one while Su Hua watched.
When he was done, Su Hua’s gaze roamed over him boldly.
Lin Xuan frowned.
There was something unsettling about Su Hua’s look, as if she were sizing up her prey.
Moments later, Su Hua stood up from the sofa. Barefoot, she walked toward the gentle and handsome man with light steps.
Her eyes were brimming with excitement.
"What’s wrong?" Lin Xuan felt his heart race. Su Hua’s demeanor gave him the impression she was about to devour him.
Tension and excitement mingled within him.
His back was against the bed—their gray bed.
Su Hua pushed him down and her soft hair fell over him.
"Lin Xuan, you look perfect in this suit," Su Hua said, her crimson lips curling into a smile.
"My Lin Xuan looks so handsome."
Her eyes overflowed with desire, nearly swallowing him whole.
Lin Xuan’s palms were sweaty.
Su Hua chuckled lightly, "Lin Xuan, you should take the lead."
Their positions reversed.
"Lin Xuan, wear this suit and use your body to please me..." Su Hua wrapped her soft arms around his neck, her enchanting eyes glistening with charm.
That night, Lin Xuan was utterly exhausted.
The floor was littered with torn suits.
Su Hua was inexhaustible, making him change suit after suit.
Lin Xuan suspected that Su Hua was treating these outfits as fetish wear.
Before this, however, Lin Xuan had discovered a manual in his personal space that boosted stamina effectively.
His competitive spirit drove him to train relentlessly in the space for several days.
In real-time, that equated to six or seven months of practice.
His stamina had indeed improved.
Though exhausted this time, he hadn’t lost—finally managing to match Su Hua’s energy.
Lin Xuan felt a smug satisfaction that he had finally gained the upper hand.
He carried the sleeping Su Hua into the bathroom with a sense of accomplishment.
At the Shen Family residence.
Shen's Father was still seething from his encounter with Lin Li. Even after returning to the Shen Family mansion, his mood remained dark.
"What does the Lin Family take the Shen Family for?" Shen's Father growled through gritted teeth.
Before marriage, Lin Li had already been with another woman.
"Qianqian," Shen's Father comforted his daughter tenderly, "don’t be too heartbroken. Lin Li swore he’d only love you, but he turned around and slept with another woman. Such a man isn’t worth your love."
"Qianqian, don’t worry. Father will find someone else who will cherish and pamper you."
"Father, don’t worry. I’m not upset," Shen Qianqian replied, shaking her head.
Shen's Father studied Qianqian closely, relieved to see no signs of grief or resentment on her face.
"Father," Qianqian spoke up again.
"What is it, Qianqian?"
"Can we not cancel the engagement with the Lin Family?" Qianqian asked hesitantly.
"Even after this, are you still thinking of marrying Lin Li?" Shen's Father’s brows furrowed.
His expression darkened. "Qianqian, he’s already disrespected you this way. If you marry him now, he’ll never treat you well. He might even take your forgiveness for granted and behave even more recklessly."
"Qianqian, I will never allow you to marry Lin Li."
"Father, it’s not him. I don’t want Lin Li—he’s unfaithful," Qianqian explained.
"Then who?" Shen's Father’s brows knotted tightly.
"It’s Lin Xuan," Qianqian blushed, confessing shyly.
She had realized she truly liked Lin Xuan.
On the way home, her mind was filled with Lin Xuan’s image.
This was a new feeling for her, entirely different from her time with Lin Li.
She was certain she had fallen for Lin Xuan.
She was determined to marry him.
"No!" Shen's Father rose abruptly. "Qianqian, Lin Xuan has no merit. He needs money to gain entry into prestigious universities like Shangqing. He’s worthless!"
"Moreover, he’s been disowned by the Lin Family. His background isn’t fitting for someone of your standing!"
"Father, I think Lin Xuan is great." Qianqian clung to her father’s arm, cooing. "He doesn’t have to be concerned about background—he could simply become my affiliate. I’d get to stay with you all the time, Father."
"Qianqian," Shen's Father spoke patiently, "Lin Xuan already has someone he likes."
"I know. It used to be Qin Ruoyao," Qianqian said dismissively. "But Lin Xuan never spoke to her at the banquet, and Qin Ruoyao was caught with Lin Li. Lin Xuan wouldn’t still like her."
Qianqian believed she was slightly more attractive than Qin Ruoyao.
She was confident that once she made a move, Qin Ruoyao would have no chance.
"Still, no," Shen's Father insisted. "Qianqian, I’ll find you another young man from high society. You won’t marry Lin Xuan—that’s final."
For Shen Mao, Lin Xuan was no match. Anyone from the upper echelons would surpass him in talent and character.
He had only one daughter, and he demanded she be matched with a man who excelled in every aspect.
He would never permit her to wed someone so inadequate as Lin Xuan.
"Father, I want him. I won’t marry anyone else!" Qianqian shouted tearfully, her voice breaking.
With a swish of her skirt and the clatter of heels, Qianqian ran up the stairs.
Shen's father was left, head throbbing, massaging his temples.
The next morning, Su Hua awoke first, recovering faster than Lin Xuan.
Dressed in a pure white lace nightgown, she descended the stairs.
Sitting in the dining room, a servant placed a bowl of bitter medicinal soup before her.
his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall? Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
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.
