"What's wrong?" the girl asked, looking puzzled.
"I'm telling you, it's a good thing Lin Xuan didn't accept it. Otherwise, if CEO Su found out, you’d be in serious trouble," her friend warned.
"Is it really that serious?" The girl frowned, skeptical of her friend’s words.
"The last girl who handed Lin Xuan a bottle of water—guess what happened to her? She transferred schools. Don’t forget, Lin Xuan’s girlfriend, CEO Su, is a major shareholder at our university," the friend said.
"That bad?"
The girl’s mind flashed to Su Hua’s icy demeanor.
She had seen how gentle CEO Su was with Lin Xuan and almost forgotten that Su Hua was rumored to be a ruthless figure.
The girl patted her chest in relief, a wave of fear washing over her.
Thank goodness Lin Xuan hadn’t taken her water.
"Go, go!"
Cheers erupted from the crowd.
Only thirty seconds remained in the game.
Lin Xuan dribbled the ball, approached the hoop, leaped into the air, and effortlessly sank the ball into the basket.
"Ahhhh!"
"We won, we won! That was amazing!"
The Yundu University team collapsed onto the court, exhausted.
Wang Dahe swaggered over to them.
"How’s that goose egg taste?"
Wang Dahe sneered, "Zero points? Your team’s nothing special."
One of the Yundu University players couldn’t hold back. "Wang Dahe, stop gloating. If it weren’t for Lin Xuan, you think you could’ve beaten us?"
This Lin Xuan was ridiculously good—stealing, blocking, scoring.
This game, they hadn’t managed a single point, all thanks to him.
They’d even tried tripping Lin Xuan to force him out with an injury, but no matter what they did, he dodged every trick. Instead, they lost several of their own players.
"Tch, ‘if it weren’t for Lin Xuan’? What kind of excuse is that? Isn’t Lin Xuan part of our team?" Wang Dahe rolled his eyes.
Wait—
He’d almost forgotten something important.
Wang Dahe rushed to the stands and urgently asked, "Luo Yuan, did you get a video of Lin Xuan playing?"
"Yeah, I’ll send it to you." Luo Yuan forwarded the recording.
"Nice, nice." Wang Dahe nodded approvingly as he watched.
CEO Su would definitely be happy seeing this.
Without hesitation, he forwarded the video to Su Hua.
Su Hua had given Wang Dahe her number herself, telling him to contact her directly if anything involved Lin Xuan.
[Wang Dahe]: CEO Su, here’s a video of Xuan playing basketball. I had Luo Yuan record it.
Su Hua had been listening to a corporate report when Wang Dahe’s message came in. She raised a hand, cutting off the executive mid-sentence, and focused on the video of Lin Xuan.
She watched, mesmerized, a faint smile playing on her lips.
The executive glanced curiously at her phone and saw Lin Xuan execute a perfect jump and dunk.
"CEO Su, is that Young Master Lin? That was an incredible shot," he remarked.
"Mhm." Su Hua’s red lips curved. "A-Xuan has always been this amazing."
"Leave the proposal here for now. You’re dismissed."
"Yes, CEO Su."
The executive bowed and exited the office.
Su Hua kept replaying the video until it ended, then saved it.
"Jiang Qing, come in," she called.
Jiang Qing entered promptly. "CEO Su."
"Buy two cars, each worth a few million," Su Hua ordered.
"Are they for your own use, or as gifts?" Jiang Qing asked.
That the cars might be for Lin Xuan never crossed her mind. A few million was pocket change to Su Hua—far too cheap for Young Master Lin.
Su Hua: "For A-Xuan’s friends, Wang Dahe and Luo Yuan."
Jiang Qing: "!!!"
Holy crap!
Young Master Lin, are you taking applications for friends? Sign me up!
"Understood, CEO Su. I’ll handle it immediately."
Jiang Qing swiftly arranged the purchase—two Porsche models, seven million each.
By now, classes had ended. Wang Dahe and Luo Yuan weren’t on campus; they’d gone out to eat. They’d invited Lin Xuan, but he’d declined, citing prior plans.
Wang Dahe shook his head. "Bet he’s with CEO Su. Never thought Xuan would ditch his bros for his girl."
"Wang Dahe, you’re one to talk," Luo Yuan scoffed.
Wang Dahe puffed up. "What’s that supposed to mean? I’d never—"
"Dahe, have you forgotten about Wang Shiyun?" Luo Yuan cut in.
Wang Dahe’s expression twisted at the name.
Damn it.
How could he forget that two-faced witch Wang Shiyun?
If not for Lin Xuan exposing her true nature, he’d still be wrapped around her finger.
Luo Yuan slung an arm around Wang Dahe’s neck. "Seems to me there was a guy who ignored his friends’ warnings, kept defending Wang Shiyun, and kept ditching them to be with her?"
Wang Dahe had no comeback.
He’d done plenty of unreasonable things for Wang Shiyun.
"Luo Yuan, Wang Shiyun’s my dark past. From now on, bros come first," he vowed.
Luo Yuan raised a brow but said nothing.
Best not to make absolute promises—karma had a way of circling back.
And when it did, it hit hard.
After dinner, Wang Dahe and Luo Yuan left the eatery.
Parked outside were two brand-new Porsches—one black, one gray.
A crowd had gathered to admire them.
"Whose cars are these? The latest Porsche model, right? Seven million a pop."
"Yundu’s got no shortage of rich folks. Spending that much on a car… I wonder if I’ll ever earn seven million in my lifetime."
Wang Dahe whistled at the sight.
"Now that’s a damn fine car!"
He was a car enthusiast.
He’d watched countless reviews of this model, itching to own one.
But with no means to afford it, he could only dream.
Luo Yuan stared just as intently.
Eventually, he forced himself to look away.
"Dahe, let’s go."
These cars were out of their league.
The longer they stared, the more it hurt.
As they turned to leave, Jiang Qing spotted them and approached.
"Young Master Wang, Young Master Luo, hello."

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.

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
