"Miss, it was love at first sight. I hope a beautiful lady like you would give me the chance to pursue you."
He extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner, making an inviting gesture.
Su Hua frowned.
With a wave of her hand, the undercover bodyguards disguised as ordinary moviegoers immediately stepped forward and dragged the man away.
Seeing this, the cinema security guards moved to intervene but were stopped by the theater manager.
"Leave it be," the manager said.
"But, sir, they’re openly dragging away one of our guests—"
Before the guard could finish, the manager cut him off. "She’s a VIP of our theater. That man got what he deserved for offending her."
Boss Su was the cinema’s major investor—she could do as she pleased.
"Just maintain order. Don’t interfere with anything else," the manager instructed.
"Yes, sir," the guards replied respectfully.
The two bodyguards hauled the man to a secluded spot.
A rag stuffed in his mouth muffled his protests as he struggled wildly, to no avail.
"Daring to flirt with our mistress? You’re asking for death!"
Thud! Thud! Thud!—countless fists rained down on the man as the bodyguards beat him mercilessly, most of the blows landing on his face.
His once-handsome features were now swollen and bruised.
Gritting his teeth, he glared at them. "What the hell are you doing? Aren’t you afraid of going to jail for assaulting me in public?"
"Save your breath," one bodyguard sneered. "You should be grateful you didn’t lay a finger on our mistress. Otherwise, this wouldn’t just be a beating—you’d lose your hands and worse."
With that, the guards returned to Su Hua’s vicinity.
Though she had insisted on a "normal couple’s date" today, Su Hua had taken precautions by stationing bodyguards among the crowd.
Every man who dared approach her met the same fate—dragged away without exception.
Seeing this, other would-be suitors quickly abandoned their plans.
This woman was clearly out of their league.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan stood in line for popcorn, surrounded by men—women couldn’t get near him.
Glancing around, he frowned.
The men in line felt oddly familiar, as if he’d seen them before.
Wait—
Weren’t these Hua’er’s people?
Why were they here?
After discreetly observing, Lin Xuan quickly pieced it together.
He shook his head, amused. So, Hua’er was worried about women approaching him while he waited.
She really was the jealous type—but he found it endearing.
Pretending not to notice her scheme, Lin Xuan continued waiting casually.
"He’s so handsome!"
Nearby, girls clutched their cheeks, staring at him dreamily. "I’ve never seen a man this good-looking—flawless face, perfect body, that bad-boy charm. He radiates nobility, like a young master from a wealthy family."
"He’s leagues above those pretty-boy celebrities. Too bad he’s not in the entertainment industry."
If he were, they could admire that face on-screen every day.
"I’m going to ask for his number. Maybe I’m his type, and we could get to know each other better."
Their fantasies were cut short as obstacles kept appearing.
"Have some self-respect. He has a girlfriend."
"That’s her."
A bodyguard pointed toward Su Hua.
The women frowned, wondering what kind of woman could possibly deserve him.
But when they followed his gesture and saw Su Hua’s face, their eyes widened in shock.
Holy—
She was stunning.
Her beauty was unreal—her figure impeccable, her aura cold and regal.
Together, they looked like a match made in heaven.
Most girls gave up then and there.
With a girlfriend like that, how could he ever notice them?
Those still hoping to be his mistress were swiftly dealt with by the bodyguards.
"Yaya, look! Isn’t that the guy you like?" a girl exclaimed, pointing at Lin Xuan.
Feng Yaya turned—and her heart raced.
It really was him.
It had been a long, long time since she last saw him, and now that they met again, she could still feel her heart racing wildly.
"I don’t like her, don’t talk nonsense," Feng Yaya protested, her round cheeks flushing pink.
He Jialing smirked teasingly. "Yaya, when you slept over at my place, you kept murmuring his name in your dreams. You love reading, and your books are stuffed with Lin Xuan’s photos. Even when you’re writing, you unconsciously scribble his name all over the pages. If that’s not love, what is?"
"Yaya, you’ve been working so hard to lose weight—all for Lin Xuan, right?" He Jialing said with certainty.
Before this, Yaya had always claimed she liked Lin Li, even going as far as saying she’d marry him. But in He Jialing’s eyes, Yaya only had a mild crush on Lin Li—nothing close to real affection.
The way Yaya acted around Lin Xuan? That was the real deal.
"I—I’m not," Feng Yaya stammered, twisting the hem of her shirt shyly.
"Yaya, we’re best friends. You can tell me anything," He Jialing encouraged. "If you like Lin Xuan, just go for it!"
"Go on!"
With that, she gave Feng Yaya a firm push forward.

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.

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?
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)
