"Who wants to examine me?" Lin Li shouted loudly.
"I'll do it."
"Me too!"
Two playboys raised their hands.
Seeing them, Lin Li grew even more confident that he could safely get through this ordeal.
Because of their reckless lifestyles, their parents often cut off their allowances.
He believed they could easily be bribed.
Lin Chang smiled at Feng Weimin. "Let these two examine Li'er. What do you think, dear in-law?"
"Fine." Feng Weimin snorted coldly, clasping his hands behind his back.
Lin Li and the two playboys entered a room.
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
He knew exactly what Lin Li was planning.
But did Lin Li really think he hadn’t prepared for every possibility?
Lin Xuan sent a message.
"Received! Young Master Lin, don’t worry—I’ll handle everything properly." His contact replied immediately.
After closing the chat, the man quickly connected the room’s hidden listening device to the hotel lobby’s speakers.
Every word Lin Li and the two playboys said would now be broadcast for all the guests to hear.
The door closed.
One of the playboys, hands in his pockets, said lazily, "Lin Li, enough talk. Drop your pants."
The sudden broadcast of this voice in the hotel lobby startled everyone.
Lin Qingxiu blinked. "Second Sister, isn’t that one of the playboys? Did someone bug the room?"
"Seems like it," Lin Qingyan nodded.
Lin Chang frowned but remained calm.
Even if there was a listening device, so what? The idea that Li'er had become a eunuch was nonsense. Let them listen—they wouldn’t hear anything incriminating.
"Lin Chang," Jiang Shuqin whispered nervously, "we should warn Li'er about the bug!"
"Why bother?" Lin Chang smirked, unmoving. "Let everyone hear. That way, no one can accuse our son of bribing those two. This will only prove his innocence further."
"True." Jiang Shuqin nodded.
Once the examination was over, the gossips wouldn’t dare spread rumors about Li'er anymore.
Butler Wang perked up, eyes gleaming.
He leaned toward Lin Xuan and whispered, "Young Master Lin, was this your doing?"
"Mm." Lin Xuan nodded.
Lin Li would definitely try to bribe those two to cover up his condition.
His plan was to expose everything—letting Lin Li believe he was safe before pulling the rug out from under him.
The whiplash from hope to despair would be delicious.
Butler Wang stroked his chin.
The twists and turns were thrilling. Young Master Lin’s scheme was brilliant.
Good thing he’d tagged along—this was going to be one juicy scandal.
Inside the room—
The playboy frowned as Lin Li hesitated. "Lin Li, what’s the hold-up? Drop your pants already."
The other one scoffed. "It’s been minutes. Are you stalling because you really are a eunuch?"
Lin Li smiled silently and pulled out a bank card.
The two playboys froze.
"Young Master Lin, what’s this?"
"There’s ten million in here," Lin Li said smoothly.
The lobby erupted in murmurs.
"Is Lin Li bribing them?"
"Looks like it. Why else would he flash cash? He’s paying them to lie."
Lin Chang’s stomach dropped.
He tried to rush forward, desperate to warn his son about the bug—
But Feng Weimin blocked him.
"Chairman Lin, where are you going?" he sneered.
"Nowhere. Just the restroom."
Feng Weimin smirked. "Can’t you wait? Your son’s innocence is about to be proven. Unless… you’re trying to tip him off?"
"Don’t be absurd." Lin Chang forced a laugh. "I’ll hold it, then."
Feng Weimin kept his eyes locked on Lin Chang—and the rest of the Lin family.
No one could slip Lin Li a warning.
Back in the room—
One playboy raised an eyebrow. "So you’re bribing us to lie?"
"Exactly."
Unaware of the broadcast, Lin Li answered without hesitation.
"Tell everyone those photos and videos were faked. Say it’s a smear campaign—that I’m perfectly intact."
The lobby exploded.
"If he weren’t a eunuch, why bribe them? This proves it!"
"What a scandal!"
"Whoever bugged that room is a genius. We’d have been fooled otherwise."
The Lin family stood frozen, faces pale.
Li'er… really was a eunuch?
One playboy took the card, grinning. "Bribing us to lie? So it’s true, then? You’re really…?"
Lin Li had always been the golden child—the son their mothers compared them to.
Seeing him humiliated like this was satisfying.
But ten million was ten million.
Lin Li nodded calmly. "You’re right. I am."
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss. But when the final war erupts and both major factions place their hopes in him— Players tag his various aliases: "Experts, this offensive depends on you." The Carnival Paradise's supreme Boss throws an arm around his neck: "Bro, you're the iron, I'm the steel; you can't let me down again!"
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)
. 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!"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
