"No way."
Feng Yaya immediately turned her back when Lin Xuan's gaze swept in her direction.
"I can't see him yet," Feng Yaya said, biting her lip.
He Jialing frowned, her face full of confusion. "Why not? Yaya, being this hesitant isn’t like you at all."
"I’m so overweight right now. If I appear in front of Lin Xuan like this, I’ll definitely leave a bad impression. I want to lose weight first before meeting him," Feng Yaya murmured, pressing her lips together.
Lately, she had been pushing herself to the limit to shed pounds. Cakes, barbecues, fried foods—all her former favorites—were now things she didn’t dare touch.
She often ate plain boiled cabbage and worked out every single day.
She had already lost fifteen pounds, but she still didn’t know how long it would take for her figure to improve enough to face Lin Xuan.
"Oh, so that’s it," He Jialing said, finally understanding.
"Love really can change a woman."
Shaking her head in amazement, He Jialing sighed.
Yaya had always been a foodie. In the past, whenever anyone suggested she diet, she would refuse a million times, saying that depriving her of good food was like taking her life.
But now, she was actively dieting and cutting back on meals.
"The movie’s about to start. Come on, Jialing, let’s go in." Feng Yaya grabbed He Jialing’s hand and pulled her toward the ticket checkpoint.
As she left, Feng Yaya stole a quick glance at Lin Xuan before shyly averting her eyes again.
Lin Xuan’s temple twitched abruptly.
He glanced toward Feng Yaya’s direction, puzzled.
Why did he suddenly have such a bad feeling? Like something was about to happen?
Lin Xuan shook his head.
The Shadow Organization had already been dealt with—what else could possibly go wrong?
He must just be overthinking it.
After buying a bucket of popcorn and a soda, Lin Xuan returned to Su Hua.
"Hua Bao, got everything. One more minute, and we can head in," Lin Xuan said.
"Mm." Su Hua nodded with a soft smile in her eyes.
The men and women who had fallen for Su Hua and Lin Xuan at first sight in the theater watched them standing together and gave up all hope.
Damn!
They were the perfect pair—handsome guy, stunning girl!
Way too well-matched!
There was no way anyone could wedge themselves between them.
Su Hua and Lin Xuan entered the screening room as planned.
The theater wasn’t large, seating only about twenty people. Every chair had been meticulously cleaned.
The room was also decorated with balloons, colorful ribbons, and mood lighting, creating a dazzling, intimate atmosphere.
Lin Xuan’s face was full of surprise.
"Why is this screening room decorated like this?"
Su Hua answered without batting an eye, "Probably because it’s a romance movie. The theater must have set it up this way."
"Really?" Lin Xuan frowned, half-convinced.
Back when he had invited Qin Ruoyao to the movies, she had often turned him down to keep him on the hook. On the rare occasions she agreed, they had watched romance films twice, but the screening rooms then had looked completely ordinary.
So why was this one so… suggestive?
"Ah Xuan, the movie’s about to start. Let’s focus on watching, okay?" Su Hua quickly interrupted his thoughts, afraid he might notice something off.
"Mm." Lin Xuan nodded.
Meanwhile, the theater manager stood nervously outside the screening room where Su Hua and Lin Xuan were seated.
"Remember, before they come out, no one is allowed inside. Got it?" the manager repeated sternly.
"Yes, Manager," two staff members replied respectfully.
After leaving the private screening area, the manager headed straight to the surveillance room.
"Manager, any instructions?" the technician asked politely.
"Are all the cameras in the Liang-Zhu screening room definitely turned off?" the manager pressed.
"Rest assured, they’re all off," the technician confirmed.
"Good." The manager nodded.
After double-checking everything to ensure Su Hua and Lin Xuan wouldn’t be disturbed, the manager finally let out a deep breath.
He grabbed a large bottle of water and gulped it down.
"President Su told us not to disturb them and even had the theater decorated like this. I wonder what they’re doing in there…"
"Could it be… that?"
A knowing smirk crept onto the manager’s face.
The usually aloof President Su had never shown interest in men before. But now that she’d met someone she liked, she was clearly awakening to new desires.
The manager stroked his chin.
He had arranged everything perfectly—maybe President Su would reward him for this.
Inside the screening room…
The movie started normally enough, depicting a typical love story.
But thirty minutes in, after the leads officially became a couple, things escalated quickly.
Kissing everywhere, all kinds of suggestive scenes…
Lin Xuan: "…"
Wait, since when were romance films this bold?
At that moment, the theater manager rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
The movie he had specially prepared for President Su and her boyfriend—would she like it?
She probably would.
Back in the Liang-Zhu screening room…
Just as the on-screen couple began stripping off their clothes, Su Hua reached out and turned Lin Xuan’s face toward her.
"Ah Xuan, don’t look at her. Look at me," Su Hua murmured, her eyes darkening.
Ah Xuan was her man—she couldn’t let him see another woman’s body, even if it was just in a movie.
Lin Xuan knew she was jealous again and indulged her with a nod. "Alright, whatever Hua Bao says."
He hadn’t wanted to watch anyway, so this was fine.
Though neither of them was looking at the screen now, the sounds from the speakers—moans, kisses, heavy breathing—filled the room.
The earlier visuals, combined with the audio, had Lin Xuan feeling restless. And Su Hua was even more affected.
"Since we can’t watch the movie now, and we’re just sitting here idle… why don’t we do something more meaningful, Ah Xuan? What do you think?"
Su Hua straddled Lin Xuan’s lap in one smooth motion. She was wearing a fitted dress, and the movement hiked the hem up, revealing her pale, glowing thighs.
"Ah Xuan, kiss me… please?" Her crimson lips brushed against the corner of his mouth, her breath warm and teasing.
"Hua Bao…" Lin Xuan swallowed hard. "Even though we’re alone in here, there are surveillance cameras. They’d capture everything we do. Let’s… wait until we get home, okay?"
He had seen stories online about couples caught on camera in theaters, their intimate moments leaked for the world to see.
But Su Hua refused to let go.
Her soft arms looped around his neck.
"This theater is owned by Su Corporation. I already contacted the manager and had all the cameras turned off. No one will know what we do in here."
"So Ah Xuan’s worries are unnecessary."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
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)

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?
