"Mm-hmm."
A faint blush crept onto Feng Yaya's cheeks. "I do have a bit of a crush on him."
Truth be told, she was a bit of a looks person.
Lin Xuan was far more handsome than Lin Li, and his abilities outshone Lin Li's by a mile.
Over the past few days, she had searched for information about Lin Xuan online.
She discovered he was a computer genius who had solved the Oli Problem. Not only that, he had founded Skyveil Group, which had grown explosively in just over a year, unstoppable in its rise.
Lin Xuan had looks, talent, and he was the same man who had comforted her as a child.
With all these qualities stacked together,
Feng Yaya couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter.
"Yaya," Feng Weimin couldn’t hold back. "Are you sure someone like you is good enough for Lin Xuan?"
Feng Yaya’s expression stiffened.
Her family background and education weren’t issues, but… she was too overweight—150 pounds at just five-foot-three.
Sometimes, she couldn’t even bring herself to look in the mirror.
"Dad, I’m going to lose weight!" Determination flashed in Feng Yaya’s eyes.
She had to become prettier, so she could be worthy of Lin Xuan.
"Alright," Feng Weimin nodded. "Then go for it."
"But Yaya, you can pursue Lin Xuan—just don’t force him, understand?"
Not only was Lin Xuan someone he couldn’t afford to offend, but he also wanted his daughter to find genuine happiness. A forced marriage would never bring joy.
"Okay." Feng Yaya nodded.
Once she slimmed down, she would make Lin Xuan fall for her.
Clenching her fists, her face brimmed with resolve.
These past few days,
Lin Chang hadn’t returned to the Lin household. Online, discussions about Lin Li becoming a eunuch and losing fertility were still rampant.
Many people were active in comment sections across various platforms.
[Hey, have you heard about Lin Li losing his manhood and becoming a eunuch, plus the infertility thing?]
Those unfamiliar with Lin Li’s situation would inevitably grow curious upon seeing such remarks.
Eunuchs were supposed to be a thing of the past—how could there still be one now?
Driven by this kind of thinking, gossip-loving netizens would search it up to get the scoop.
Practically every internet-savvy person knew about Lin Li’s complete emasculation.
Offline,
people would bring it up too. "Let me tell you, I saw something wild online."
Word spread, and soon, half the country knew about Lin Li’s predicament.
Lin Li hadn’t dared to leave the house or go to school these days.
Instead, he tortured himself by endlessly scrolling through comments about him.
His fanbase had nearly vanished, with almost no one defending him.
The remarks were overwhelmingly mocking and insulting.
"Ah—!"
Lin Li snapped, hurling his phone against the wall.
With a loud crack, it rebounded and shattered on the floor, the screen splintering into pieces.
"What right do any of you have to judge me?" Lin Li seethed. "So what if I’m a eunuch? I’m a top-ranking student at Yundu University, one of the best schools! I’m rich, and the entire Starlight Group will be mine someday. What I have is beyond what any of you will ever achieve!"
"You’re all just commoners—lowly and poor! No matter what, you’re in no position to laugh at me!"
"Just wait! Not only will I become Starlight Group’s chairman, I’ll take it to new heights and make it one of the top companies in the country!"
"I’ll make every single one of you regret looking down on me!"
Lin Li roared.
Knock knock knock—
A sudden rapping came at his door.
Lin Li lowered his gaze, masking the darkness in his eyes. After composing himself, he went to answer.
Jiang Shuqin looked at him with concern. "Li'er, are you alright?"
"I’m fine," Lin Li forced a smile.
"Li'er, I’m sorry. I couldn’t protect you." Jiang Shuqin’s eyes welled up.
"It’s okay, Mom. I don’t blame you," Lin Li reassured her. "This wasn’t your fault to begin with."
"Li'er."
Jiang Shuqin grasped his hand. "Your father only cares about profit. He wanted to use you to secure a good marriage alliance, something to benefit Starlight Group."
She was trying to brainwash him.
She didn’t want Lin Li to keep respecting Lin Chang.
Now that Lin Chang was infertile and couldn’t have more children, if Li'er and Wan'er’s sisters all abandoned him, she’d like to see how Lin Chang would cope.
"That’s why, Li'er, when Lin Chang found out you were… a eunuch, he reacted so harshly."
"See? The moment this happened, he disappeared for days. Li'er, your father doesn’t deserve your filial devotion."
Lin Li sneered inwardly.
Jiang Shuqin was still playing her manipulative games. Now that she and Lin Chang were at odds, she was pinning her hopes on him.
Hah.
To him, Jiang Shuqin and Lin Chang were cut from the same cloth—both rotten.
Once she found out he was actually Wang Yajun and Lin Chang’s son, she’d probably want him dead.
Despite these thoughts, his face betrayed nothing.
He nodded earnestly. "Mom, I know. Between you and Dad, you’re the only one who truly cares about me."
"Mom, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of you in the future. You’ll live the life of a pampered socialite."
"Good, good." Jiang Shuqin beamed. "I’ll be counting on my Li'er to spoil me then."
"Mom, I’m a little tired. I think I’ll take a nap."
"Of course. Rest well. Call me if you need anything."
Jiang Shuqin left.
Lin Li didn’t sleep. Instead, he kept scrolling through the taunting comments.
No. I can’t just sit here and take this.
Abruptly, he stood up, phone in hand.
He rushed downstairs.
"Where’s my mother?" Lin Li frowned at a servant.
"Master Lin, Madam went out for a skincare session with some other ladies," the servant answered respectfully.
"Got it."
Lin Li left the Lin residence and headed straight for Yundu Prison.
Soon, Wang Yajun was brought to see him.
"Li'er!" Wang Yajun’s face lit up with excitement. "You finally came to see me! I’ve missed you so much."
"Mom, I’m sorry," Lin Li said apologetically. "I’ve been busy lately and couldn’t make time to visit."
"It’s alright. I’m doing fine here. Don’t worry about me if you’re tied up."
"By the way, Li'er," Wang Yajun asked worriedly, "how have you been? Are you okay?"
Lin Li pressed his lips together.
Wang Yajun noticed something was off about Lin Li's expression and asked with concern, "Li, what exactly happened? Tell me quickly. Maybe I can help you figure it out."
Lin Li tightened his grip on the phone, his voice somber. "Earlier, I was captured by someone, forced to drink the Root-Severing Water, and turned into a eunuch."
ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
