Su Hua's eyes flashed with a hint of triumph.
This was the perfect opportunity to put into practice all those positions she had just learned from the book.
It was still early in the evening. After dinner, Su Hua and Lin Xuan sat together on the sofa, watching TV.
"Is this The Art of War?" Lin Xuan noticed the book on the sofa and reached to pick it up.
Su Hua's heart leaped into her throat—beneath it lay that book. She couldn’t let Lin Xuan see it.
The moment his fingers brushed the cover, Su Hua tensely grabbed his hand. "A-Xuan..."
Lin Xuan turned to her, puzzled. "Hua Bao, what's wrong?"
Why did her expression look so off?
Unless...
His gaze flicked to the book hidden beneath The Art of War. Was there something Hua Bao didn’t want him to see?
Seizing the moment, Su Hua slid onto Lin Xuan’s lap, looping her arms around his neck. Her eyes smoldered, lips curving into a seductive smile—she looked every bit the enchanting siren.
The sight sent a jolt of foreboding through Lin Xuan.
"It’s getting late. Let’s go back to the room, hmm?" Su Hua’s crimson lips brushed his ear, her breath warm and teasing. "Time for something... fun."
Lin Xuan checked the time.
6:40 PM?
If they started now, this would go on for hours.
"Hua Bao, we just ate. Exercising right after a meal isn’t good for digestion," he protested weakly.
He’d delay this as long as possible.
"Don’t worry," she purred, arching a delicate brow. "I’ll just have a little dessert first. Dessert doesn’t count as exercise. After that, we can move on to the main course."
Dessert?
What dessert?
Confusion flickered in Lin Xuan’s eyes.
Su Hua caught his bewilderment and laughed softly. "A-Xuan," she murmured, tracing a finger from his lips downward. "My dessert is... right here."
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
"I really love this part," she whispered, her smile wicked.
Lin Xuan fell silent.
When it came to being shameless, no woman could outdo Hua Bao.
A saying flashed through his mind: When a woman turns seductive, men don’t stand a chance.
Noticing his reaction, Su Hua pouted playfully. "A-Xuan, carry me to the room, please?"
She still had so many outfits left unused.
She couldn’t wait to try them all.
The way Lin Xuan’s eyes darkened when she danced for him in those clothes—she lived for that look.
"Alright." Lin Xuan had no choice but to sweep her into his arms and carry her to the bedroom.
He intended to set her down on the bed.
"A-Xuan, I want to take a bath first," Su Hua cooed, nestling against him.
"Mm." Lin Xuan placed her on the sofa. "Wait here, Hua Bao."
"Okay." She nodded obediently.
Lin Xuan stepped into the bathroom, testing the water temperature before filling the tub.
Su Hua rested her chin on her hand, watching him intently.
During those two years, Lin Xuan had kept running from her.
The only way she could keep him close was by slipping him a harmless sedative—something her company, Night Rose, had developed—just so he’d stay unconscious beside her.
Back then, the mere idea of him willingly spending time with her had felt like an impossible dream.
She never imagined Lin Xuan would one day dote on her like this—utterly compliant, without fear of him regaining his memories from the island.
Happiness shimmered in Su Hua’s eyes.
This life is perfect.
Once the tub was full, Lin Xuan took Su Hua’s hand and led her into the bathroom.
"Hua Bao, the water’s ready. Go ahead and soak."
He turned to leave, but Su Hua caught his wrist, tilting her head with an innocent yet provocative smile.
"My hands are still weak from those seven days. A-Xuan, help me undress?"
Her eyes glistened, the contrast between her sweet expression and her suggestive words utterly disarming.
This is lethal.
Lin Xuan couldn’t refuse her like this. "Fine," he relented.
Su Hua had just returned from work, dressed in a white blouse and a pencil skirt.
The buttons strained over her full chest, threatening to pop.
Guiding his hands to her collar, she murmured, "A-Xuan, be good. Undo them for me."
Lin Xuan’s fingers trembled as he loosened each button.
The blouse, skirt, and lace undergarments pooled at her feet, revealing her flawless figure—smooth, porcelain skin and alluring curves.
The only blemishes were the countless love marks scattered across her body, vivid against her snow-white skin.
A stark reminder of their recent passion.
"A-Xuan." Su Hua hooked her arms around his neck, rising onto her toes to whisper in his ear, "Do you like my body?"
"Y-yes." Lin Xuan averted his gaze. "Hua Bao is the most beautiful woman in the world. No one compares."
Su Hua laughed softly. "I’m honored you think so."
She already knew he adored her body—his uncontrollable reactions in bed were proof enough.
But she still wanted to hear him say it.
Stepping into the tub, she let the warm water envelop her. The spacious bath could easily fit two.
Su Hua trailed her fingers along her arm, the steam painting her cheeks a delicate pink.
The room was silent except for the gentle ripple of water.
Bubbles frothed around her, amplifying the sensual atmosphere.
Lin Xuan barely dared to look. "Hua Bao, you go ahead. I’ll... step out for a bit."
He needed to cool down.
The way she moved was too much. If he stayed, he wouldn’t be able to hold back.
As he turned to leave, Su Hua suddenly yanked his wrist—
Splash!
Lin Xuan tumbled into the tub.
Before he could react, the stunning woman was already straddling his lap.
"A-Xuan," she purred, her voice dripping with temptation, "let’s bathe together, hmm?"
"Uh, Hua Bao, maybe not—" Lin Xuan stammered. "I can wash later..."

【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!

saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
