"No rush, we can talk when you get back," Lin Qingwan said, shaking her head.
"Alright, big sis, I’ll head out first then."
Lin Qingyan grabbed her bag and hurriedly left.
Lin Qingwan sat back in her executive chair, massaging her temples with a headache.
It was Tuesday.
Wang Shiyun brought her close friend Li Qing to a high-end women’s boutique.
Li Qing frowned. "Shiyun, the clothes from this brand are so expensive—over ten thousand yuan per piece. Are you sure you want to shop here?"
"Absolutely," Wang Shiyun replied with a smile. "Wang Dahe is footing the bill, so why worry?"
"True," Li Qing nodded in agreement. "Wang Dahe is completely whipped for you—gullible and loaded. He’ll definitely splurge on you."
"Shiyun, you’re just so captivating. With just a word, these men will throw their money at you."
Wang Shiyun couldn’t help but smirk.
She was currently stringing along several men, all just to get them to spend on her.
But once she managed to latch onto Lin Xuan—the owner of Skyline Group, a man with endless wealth—she could finally ditch those other guys.
At the thought of Lin Xuan, a faint blush crept onto Wang Shiyun’s cheeks.
Ever since Wang Dahe mentioned that Lin Xuan was the boss of Skyline Group, she had looked him up online.
She never expected Lin Xuan to be so strikingly handsome.
And his capabilities were exceptional too!
If she could be with him, she’d settle down in a heartbeat—no more playing games with other men.
"Ladies, what kind of outfits are you looking for today?" the sales associate asked politely.
"Do you have anything a bit more revealing?" Li Qing inquired.
"Of course, miss. Right this way."
The sales associate led them to a row of mannequins. "I think these styles would suit you both perfectly—very flattering and elegant. Let me know if any catch your eye."
"Shiyun," Li Qing called out, stopping in front of a mannequin wearing a red bandeau minidress. "I think this one would look amazing on you."
"You have excellent taste, miss. This is our latest collection."
The sales associate turned to Wang Shiyun with a smile. "With your figure, you’d absolutely stun in this. Would you like to try it on?"
Wang Shiyun was tempted by the dress, but she declined. "No need. Do you have anything more... innocent-looking?"
"Certainly."
The sales associate nodded.
Wang Shiyun’s eyes immediately landed on a white dress.
Li Qing looked puzzled. "Shiyun, didn’t you say you already had a few modest outfits just for appearances? Why buy another one?"
Wang Shiyun smirked mysteriously. "Because I’m meeting someone special tomorrow."
"Who?" Li Qing asked eagerly.
"A man who’s both gorgeous and filthy rich."
Wang Shiyun’s expression turned determined.
A man like Lin Xuan probably had women throwing themselves at him left and right—he must be used to seeing flashy, seductive types.
Her goal was to make him do a double-take.
If she could leave a good first impression, luring him in later would be a breeze.
"Achoo! Achoo!" Lin Xuan sneezed twice while driving.
He rubbed his nose.
Hmm, Su Hua must be missing him.
Ah, if only she weren’t so... enthusiastic about certain activities, he’d skip class right now and head straight to Su Corporation to see her.
Meanwhile, Wang Shiyun stepped into the fitting room and slipped into the white dress.
"Oh my," the sales associate gasped dramatically, putting her acting skills to work. "Miss, this dress was made for you! Your figure is flawless, and the purity of this design—honestly, even I’m a little smitten."
Li Qing nodded in agreement. "Shiyun, it looks incredible on you."
Wang Shiyun twirled in front of the mirror, admiring herself.
It really did look good.
"How much is this dress?" Li Qing asked the sales associate.
"That would be 49,999 yuan," came the reply.
Li Qing grimaced. "Shiyun, this is way too expensive. If you ask Wang Dahe for the money, won’t he think you’re just after his wallet?"
"Watch this."
Wang Shiyun had Li Qing film a short clip of her spinning in the dress.
She sent it to Wang Dahe with a message:
Dahe-ge, do you like this?
Wang Dahe watched the video and didn’t hold back his praise.
It’s stunning!
His heart swelled with pride.
His girlfriend was truly the most beautiful woman in the—
Wait.
His mind involuntarily flashed to Su Hua’s striking, almost aggressive beauty. No matter how much he tried, he couldn’t honestly say Wang Shiyun was prettier than her.
So, his girlfriend was the second most beautiful woman in the world.
Wang Shiyun replied:
Dahe-ge, I’m glad you like it. My wealthy friend dragged me here and insisted I try this on.
I can’t afford it, so I won’t get to wear it for you. I just wanted to show you how it looked.
Wang Dahe could tell how much she adored the dress.
Without hesitation, he responded:
How much? I’ll cover it!
Wang Shiyun:
It’s so expensive—49,999 yuan. Let’s just forget it. You’ve already spent so much on me. I don’t want to burden you further.
Wang Dahe’s heart melted.
His girlfriend was so considerate, so devoted to him.
She was willing to give up something she loved just to spare his wallet.
How could he, as her boyfriend, let her down when she finally found something she adored?
With a surge of chivalry, Wang Dahe replied:
It’s just 49K! Buy it! Money’s no object! Shiyun, don’t hold back on my account. If you really see me as your man, take this and get the dress.
He transferred the money immediately.
Wang Shiyun:
Well... alright then. Thank you, Dahe-ge.
She tapped Accept.
Waving her phone triumphantly, Wang Shiyun smirked. "See? A little act, and these men will hand over their cash without a second thought."
Li Qing’s eyes sparkled with admiration. "Shiyun, you’re incredible."
After buying the dress, Wang Shiyun picked out a pair of white pumps and a pink hairband.
Her final stop was the salon, where she got her hair straightened.
Back at her apartment, she changed into the white dress and slipped on the new shoes.
"Well? How do I look?" she asked.
"Absolutely breathtaking, Shiyun," Li Qing gushed. "That wealthy hunk won’t be able to take his eyes off you."
Wang Shiyun brimmed with confidence.
She had never failed to ensnare a man before—this time would be no different.
She could hardly wait for tomorrow.
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.”
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.
