She felt her condition was getting worse.
At first, Xuan resisted her, repeatedly trying to escape from her side. Back then, she only wished for him to treat her a little better—that would have been enough.
But now that Xuan was willingly staying with her, she began craving even more.
She wanted Xuan to have only her in his world, to see no one else—whether man or woman…
Yet she knew he disliked this possessive, almost pathological side of her, so she kept suppressing it.
"Mhm." Lin Xuan, unaware of the danger, nodded and said, "Old Master Su is getting on in years. If there’s something he enjoys talking about, of course I’ll indulge him."
"Heh—"
Su Hua let out a low chuckle.
How filial Xuan was.
Huh?
Lin Xuan looked at the woman in front of him, puzzled.
Why did it feel like Hua Bao was being sarcastic?
It never crossed his mind that Su Hua might be jealous—after all, Old Master Su was her grandfather, and a man at that.
Jealous of Old Master Su? Impossible.
"Xuan seems quite energetic. How about we do something fun?" Su Hua’s slender, delicate fingers trailed down Lin Xuan’s chest, carrying a seductive allure.
"Hua Bao."
Lin Xuan caught her hand. "It’s late, and we’ve already done it several times before and after the banquet. You must be tired—let’s rest."
Su Hua raised an eyebrow. "Are you doubting my stamina?"
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
Wait a minute—wasn’t that the kind of line the male lead in a domineering CEO novel would say to the female lead?
"Hua Bao, have you been reading those CEO novels?" Lin Xuan couldn’t help but ask.
"Mhm." Su Hua’s fingertip brushed against his lips. "Jiang Qing gave them to me. I’ve read quite a few."
Lin Xuan: "..."
Damn it!
Why did Secretary Jiang keep giving Hua Bao these weird books to read?
He’d have to teach Jiang Qing a lesson later—otherwise, she’d never learn.
Achoo!
Achoo!
Jiang Qing, who was stuck working overtime at the company, sneezed several times in a row.
She rubbed her nose, confused.
She wasn’t sick, and she didn’t usually sneeze for no reason—unless someone was bad-mouthing her.
But given how many people she’d offended while working under Su Hua, Jiang Qing didn’t dwell on it.
She glanced at the mountain of paperwork before her and sighed gloomily.
While Su Hua was off enjoying herself, wrapped up in sweet moments with Young Master Lin, she, the overworked employee, was stuck grinding away.
Ah.
Life was unfair.
Back at Night Garden, in the bathroom—
Su Hua narrowed her eyes dangerously at the man before her. "Since Xuan doubts my abilities, I’ll just have to prove myself properly."
Lin Xuan hurriedly said, "Hua Bao, you’re amazing. You don’t need to prove anything—I already know."
How could Hua Bao not be amazing?
Even with his cheat-like stamina, he often ended up at her mercy.
"But didn’t Xuan’s words just now imply otherwise?"
Su Hua pressed her red lips to his ear, her warm breath sending shivers down his spine. "Don’t worry. I’ll make sure Xuan understands."
Thud.
Su Hua braced one hand against the cold bathroom wall, pinning Lin Xuan in place with a domineering stance.
Her other hand accidentally hit the shower switch, and warm water cascaded over them both.
Skin against skin, the air thickened with tension.
Lin Xuan knew there was no escaping tonight. He sighed. "Hua Bao, wait for me on the bed. Let me finish showering first."
If they started in the bathroom, they’d end up moving to multiple locations, and it would drag on forever.
If they went straight to the bed, at least it’d stay contained.
"No need. Right here is fine."
Su Hua curled her lips into a seductive smile. "Doesn’t Xuan think the bathroom adds a little… extra flavor?"
"Be a good boy and give in to me, hm?"
Right now, Su Hua looked like a bandit queen who’d dragged a man back to her lair, forcing him to become her husband.
In the misty haze, the teardrop mole beneath her right eye made her appear even more bewitching.
Originally in a commanding position, Su Hua now wrapped her arms around Lin Xuan’s neck, rising onto her tiptoes to press her lips to his.
Her eyes fluttered shut.
Meanwhile, her mischievous hands wandered across his body.
Before long, Lin Xuan was lost in the intoxicating warmth she wove around him, his arms instinctively encircling her waist…
——Fade to Black——
Once again, Lin Xuan was thoroughly drained.
Exhausted, he collapsed onto the bed while Su Hua nestled against his chest.
Seeing the weariness in his expression, she smirked.
Originally, she’d planned to go easy on him tonight.
But who told Xuan to misbehave, chatting away with Old Master Su and ignoring her completely?
Su Hua gazed at Lin Xuan for a long moment before finally closing her eyes.
The next morning, at nine o’clock—
Old Master Su had already come downstairs for breakfast.
Seated at the dining table, he picked up his spoon.
"Old Master, enjoy your meal," Butler Wang said respectfully.
"Mhm." Old Master Su took a sip of porridge before asking casually, "Have Xuan and Hua gone out already?"
"Miss and Young Master Lin haven’t gotten up yet," Butler Wang replied.
"Still asleep?"
Old Master Su glanced at the clock on the wall—9:02 a.m.
Frowning, he said, "Hua is always disciplined. Even at her latest, she’s up by eight. If she’s still in bed now, could she be unwell?"
"I should check on her."
He stood, ready to head to Su Hua’s room.
"Wait, Old Master." Butler Wang quickly stopped him.
"What is it?" Old Master Su asked, puzzled.
"Old Master," Butler Wang said tactfully, "Young Master Lin and Miss are likely still resting. It might be… inappropriate to disturb them now."
Given how dark Miss’s expression had been yesterday, once Young Master Lin returned to the room, she was bound to punish him.
And the method of punishment? Well, let’s just say it was the kind reserved for couples.
With how late they’d stayed up, plus… that, of course they’d sleep in.
Ugh, it’s been a month and this cough still won’t go away, no matter what I take.
Good night, everyone!

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?
villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er. As expected, he later becomes a tool for the main character to show off and slap faces, ultimately meeting a tragic end with his family ruined and his life in shambles. Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying! (Stubborn pure love warrior + single female lead + true pure love + 1v1)
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.
