The reporters' eyes remained fixed on the large screen, not daring to blink for fear of missing even a single frame.
Jiang Shuqin tried repeatedly to shut off the surveillance footage, but each time, the journalists blocked her efforts, leaving her powerless to intervene.
Lin Li gritted his teeth in frustration. "That useless Jiang Shuqin! Can't even handle such a simple task!"
If only she were smarter, she could have been an asset to him.
He wouldn’t have ended up in this mess otherwise.
The surveillance feed continued to play, uncensored.
Reporters and netizens nationwide would soon witness what came next.
What exactly had Lin Xuan set up to trap him?
A sense of dread and the anticipation of dire consequences spread through Lin Li’s mind, his face turning deathly pale.
His thoughts were a blank void—he had no idea how to salvage the situation.
The large screen kept broadcasting the footage, while reporters livestreamed it to their audiences.
Seeing no way to stop the surveillance, Jiang Shuqin turned her attention to the journalists.
If she could cut the livestream, the public wouldn’t see the damning evidence—there might still be a way to salvage things.
"Quick, shut off the livestream! I’ll pay you!" she screamed at them.
The reporters remained unmoved.
Jiang Shuqin was notoriously stingy—at best, she’d offer them a few thousand bucks. That was nothing compared to the value of viral exposure.
When none of the journalists reacted, Jiang Shuqin’s face drained of color.
How could she protect her son’s reputation now?
On the screen, Lin Li carelessly tossed Lin Xuan onto the ground.
Older Chen removed Lin Li’s mask, wrapped an arm around his waist, and then—shockingly—kissed him full on the lips.
The reporters: !!!
Holy crap.
This was explosive!
Talk about scandalous!
Moments later, Older Chen swept Lin Li off his feet and carried him into a hotel room.
Older Chen was large and burly, while Lin Li was slender—the contrast almost made Lin Li seem delicate, even submissive.
Netizens in the livestream were thoroughly entertained.
—Looks like Lin Li was willing. More than willing—he seemed downright eager.
—Exactly! Guess he couldn’t take the dominant role, so he settled for being the submissive one.
—How to turn a straight man gay? Just chop off his manhood.
—Thank goodness for surveillance footage, or Lin Xuan would’ve been framed for this mess.
Lin Li stared at the comments, gripping his phone so tightly his knuckles turned white.
He wasn’t willing!
Not at all!
How could he possibly like men?
Why would he let them kiss him?!
None of this was real!
He clenched his jaw until it ached.
On the screen, Lin Xuan was left outside. Two minutes later, Cheng Da and Cheng Er arrived.
Spotting Lin Xuan, they gasped, "Young Master!"
They hurried over, supporting him as they led him away.
The entire sequence made it clear—Lin Xuan had nothing to do with any of this.
Lin Xuan’s fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness Lin Li hadn’t dragged their idol into that hotel room—his innocence would’ve been ruined.
The hotel manager stepped forward. "There’s nothing else important here. Let me fast-forward."
For fifteen minutes, nothing happened outside the hotel room.
Then, a swarm of reporters rushed in.
Soon after, hotel staff gathered to watch the spectacle.
Netizens flooded the comments with excitement.
—Tsk tsk tsk, this is wild. First time seeing a scandal unfold live—I’m loving it.
—All the evidence points to him fooling around, yet he demanded to check the surveillance. Is Lin Li an idiot?
—Or maybe Lin Li didn’t know. Jiang Shuqin probably believed her son was innocent and came to review the footage herself. Then Lin Li panicked when he realized she was here and tried to stop her before the truth got out.
—Lin Li’s reputation is officially destroyed.
Meanwhile, at the Ye Estate, Butler Wang watched the livestream on his phone and shook his head.
Lin Li really overestimated himself by going against Young Master Lin.
Then again, the young master was impressive—he’d even managed to alter the surveillance footage.
After finishing this drama, Butler Wang scrolled back to last night’s incident involving Lin Li, eager for more gossip.
He even enthusiastically messaged a netizen, asking for a high-definition, uncensored video of Lin Li with those two men.
The netizen obliged without hesitation, sending a link immediately.
Butler Wang clicked it and watched with relish.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Lin Li was into some wild stuff.
This was probably an experience he’d never forget.
"Butler Wang." A maid knocked on his door.
"Come in," he called out casually.
The maid entered—only to be greeted by unmistakably suggestive noises.
Maid: "???"
Who would’ve thought the prim and proper butler secretly watched porn?
Noticing her expression, Butler Wang stiffened.
He couldn’t let this misunderstanding stand—she was a notorious gossip. If word got out, the entire staff would know he’d been caught watching explicit content.
He had to explain.
Butler Wang forced a chuckle. "Don’t misunderstand—this isn’t porn."
The maid nodded half-heartedly. "Sure, I believe you."
The sounds and the glimpses she’d caught were unmistakable.
She wasn’t stupid enough to buy his flimsy excuse.
Hearing her skepticism, Butler Wang grew anxious.
"I’m serious! It’s not porn!"
"Don’t worry, Butler Wang. I’ll keep your secret," the maid said with a smile before turning to leave.
"Wait!" Butler Wang barked.
The maid froze, startled by his intensity.
Normally, Butler Wang was warm and playful with the staff. But now, his expression was almost frightening.
She stood rigid, not daring to speak.
Butler Wang marched over, phone in hand.
"Listen carefully," he insisted.
"Yes," the maid replied nervously.
"It’s not porn—it’s gossip," he explained.
"Gossip?" she echoed, confused.
"Exactly," Butler Wang nodded. "This is about Lin Li. He’s always causing trouble for Young Master Lin, and now he’s been caught with two men. How could I miss such a spectacle?"
The maid’s eyes lit up.
Something like this actually happened?
"Butler Wang… could I watch it with you?" she asked.
"Of course!" he agreed instantly.
The more people who saw Lin Li’s humiliation, the better.
And so, the maid and Butler Wang huddled together in his room, engrossed in Lin Li’s scandalous escapades.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
