The generals under Ren Tianye’s command immediately erupted in cheers. One after another, they all prayed for Miss Ruan in exactly the same way. At that very moment, Ruan Fei herself was also doing her utmost.
“Brother Mengyan, today I’ll definitely give you a huge surprise!”
Inside the tent, Ruan Fei stood before a massive bronze mirror, her cheeks flushed as though she had made up her mind about something.
Then…
She began to apply her makeup and dress up.
Ruan Fei already had a naturally attractive appearance. Though she could not be called a peerless beauty, her fair complexion and delicate features made her no less charming than any lovely young lady.
Once she began dressing up, the confusion and dejection that had plagued her in recent days vanished completely. With fine rouge and powder, she carefully adorned herself until she looked as exquisite as a carved piece of jade.
Her beauty seemed to rise to an entirely new level.
Standing before the bronze mirror and admiring her reflection, even she was quite pleased.
But that alone was still not enough.
Although she and Zhou Mengyan had always been very close, they had indeed never crossed that final line. This time, she intended to give it everything she had.
Then…
She changed into another outfit.
With her preparations complete, Ruan Fei was filled with confidence about what she was about to do.
Immediately afterward…
She wrapped herself up tightly in a long robe and a bamboo hat. Only after taking a deep breath did she stride toward Zhou Mengyan’s military camp.
She arrived soon enough, but the two guards instinctively reached out to stop her.
“Are you blind? How dare you stop me?”
Ruan Fei scolded them sharply, revealing her beautiful face.
The two guards were so frightened that they hurriedly dropped to one knee and begged for forgiveness.
Only then did Ruan Fei give a cold snort and say, “I have something to discuss with Brother Mengyan.”
“It concerns an important military matter. You two… stand farther away. Most importantly, do not let anyone disturb us.”
“Understood?”
Everyone among Zhou Mengyan’s trusted guards knew exactly what position Ruan Fei held at his side. In practice, whatever Ruan Fei said was as good as an order from Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan himself.
Thus, after Ruan Fei finished speaking, the guards quickly withdrew to a distance as though they were following an order from Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan, while remaining on high alert.
They absolutely would not allow anyone to approach.
Only then did Ruan Fei nod in satisfaction and stride into the tent. Seeing that Zhou Mengyan was the only person inside, she immediately called out in a sweet voice:
“Brother Mengyan…”
“Hmm!”
Zhou Mengyan had his head lowered over the documents on his desk and had not noticed Ruan Fei at all. He merely acknowledged her absentmindedly.
Ruan Fei moved closer and called out again in an even more coquettish voice, “Brother Mengyan, why aren’t you looking up at me?”
“Are you still angry with me?”
“Do you think I caused you trouble by bringing General Zhang Shi here?”
Zhou Mengyan immediately replied, “How could I?”
“I know you meant well, Little Fei. How could I possibly…”
His voice suddenly cut off.
Zhou Mengyan looked up and froze. “Little Fei, why are you dressed like that?”
Ruan Fei continued in a sweet, coquettish tone, “What’s wrong with the way I’m dressed? Don’t I look good?”
Zhou Mengyan said, “It’s a little strange. You’re completely covered up, like a…”
He had been about to say “like a zongzi,” but in the next instant, Ruan Fei swiftly slipped off her long robe and bamboo hat, revealing a figure clad in pink.
Zhou Mengyan’s mouth fell open.
“Brother Mengyan…”
Ruan Fei murmured softly as she moved closer. She wrapped her arms around Zhou Mengyan’s and leaned toward his ear, whispering, “Brother Mengyan, do you like it?”
“Li—like it. I like it!”
Zhou Mengyan’s entire body stiffened, and he could barely get the words out.
“Then what are you waiting for?”
…
e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years?

Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

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.
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!
