After breaking off the engagement, Chen Ningshuang packed her belongings and prepared to step into the mundane world.
As for Ye Liangchen's earlier annulment and the three-year pact?
She didn't take it to heart at all. Those she had left behind were destined to forever gaze at her back, until she disappeared into the distance!
"Brother... seems to have gone to Hangcheng?"
For her, wherever her brother went, she would follow.
...
"Oh? The Ancient Martial Arts Chen Family has broken off the engagement with the Ancient Martial Arts Ye Family?"
Jiang Che looked at the information Monkey had sent him, stroking his chin as he keenly sensed something amiss.
After all, his current identity was that of a villain!
Keywords like "miracle doctor," "son-in-law," "broken engagement," "endurance," and "you've already chosen death" were all red flags.
After delving deeper into the details, Jiang Che couldn't help but smirk.
Chen Ningshuang, the genius girl of the Chen Family, was actually Chen Hao's younger sister?
And the person she had broken off the engagement with was none other than Ye Liangchen, the young master of the Ye Family. After hearing about Ye Liangchen's exploits... it was clear that this guy was undoubtedly a new "child of destiny."
And they even made a three-year pact? "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west"?
This was almost too hilarious!
"Monkey, I have a task for you. Keep a close eye on this Ye Liangchen. Once he does anything, report it all to me."
Recently, Jiang Che had witnessed Monkey's terrifying abilities. This guy was practically a god on the internet, effortlessly hacking into various surveillance systems without getting caught. Perhaps Monkey was also some kind of unconventional "child of destiny."
The only difference was that Monkey was now completely loyal to him, with a loyalty level nearing 95%, almost to the point of being unshakable!
Sometimes trust between men was just that simple—it was mutual. He wasn't like Su Han, who was stingy and tight-fisted.
Jiang Che had spent over thirty million to set Monkey up with a bunch of AI virtual girlfriends.
But then again, money was the least of his concerns!
"Don't worry, Young Master Jiang. I've got Ye Liangchen under constant surveillance. I can even tell you the color of his poop."
Jiang Che: "......"
Sometimes, having too much loyalty... might not be a good thing.
......
Outside the Jiang Family Villa, an "unexpected guest" arrived.
Bai Jie stepped out of the car, dressed in a black-and-white maid outfit, her face fresh and clean, devoid of the heavy makeup she used to wear.
"Miss, I don't think... this is worth it!"
The driver was Aunt Wang, a middle-aged woman who had been by Bai Jie's side ever since the girl entered the Bai Family.
She knew very well how deeply Bai Jie felt for Jiang Che—it was genuine love, even bordering on obsession. Bai Jie often stalked and took photos of Jiang Che in secret.
"It's fine."
The young girl lowered her gaze, lost in thought.
Ever since she found out that Jiang Che's household had hired over a dozen young maids, she couldn't sit still anymore.
That's right!
She planned to sneak into Jiang Che's home wearing this maid outfit... and then something wonderful would happen.
Aunt Wang sighed helplessly. In her eyes... her young mistress's behavior was extremely reckless. Jiang Che was the son of a top-tier aristocratic family, while the Bai Family was merely second-rate.
This was nothing but self-humiliation!
......
Jiang Che was upstairs, cuddling with Dong'er and petting his cat.
This Ragdoll cat had recently passed its heat cycle and had become much calmer, appearing more docile than before.
"Hmm? Seems like we're about to have a guest!"
Jiang Che's lips curled slightly. He possessed a divine skill known as "Mind Reading."
Even though he was upstairs, he could hear a young girl's thoughts from dozens of meters away.
[How should I get in? If I climb over the fence, will I be noticed?]
[Ugh! Why is this maid outfit so poorly made? It's already torn!]
Soon, Jiang Che realized whose thoughts these were!
Bai Jie!
That obsessive little fangirl of his!
Wow, she's even skipping school? Cutting class and climbing walls just to throw herself at me?
Jiang Che shook his head helplessly.
The walls of the Jiang Family Villa were so high that if just anyone could climb over them, it wouldn't be much of a mansion, would it?
But since she was so eager to throw herself at him, Young Master Jiang naturally couldn't bear to see her get hurt.
He immediately called over one of the maids and gave her some instructions.
"Yes, Master."
Soon, the villa's main gate opened!
That's right!
The gate opened directly.
"I guess climbing the wall is out of the question. Maybe I should consider digging a tunnel instead."
Bai Jie looked down at her fair, delicate hands, ready to start digging.
Truly. Digging a hole to get in!
But the next second, she was stunned.
"Huh? The gate's open?"
Bai Jie, crouched in the bushes ready to dig, was dumbfounded. And there didn't seem to be anyone guarding it?
This was a perfect opportunity!
Without hesitation, the young girl sneaked in, lifting the hem of her skirt.
But as soon as she entered, she bumped into a maid. Bai Jie instinctively lowered her head.
To her surprise, the maid didn't seem to notice anything unusual about her!
After all, she was wearing the same maid outfit.
Feeling a surge of joy, Bai Jie grew bolder and followed two maids into the villa.
She occasionally glanced around at the decorations and took in the scent of the air.
She caught a familiar scent... it was the smell of Jiang Che!
But soon, she was completely stunned.
......
Bai Jie's thoughts were in complete disarray, and she was utterly dumbfounded. She never expected Jiang Che to have such a side to him!
"Hey, you there, little maid, stop!"
Jiang Che's lips curled into a slight smirk as he called out.
Bai Jie lowered her head even further, her heart racing with panic.
She was truly afraid of being discovered, afraid that Jiang Che would kick her out!
"Hmm... come here."
Jiang Che beckoned with his finger. Despite her overwhelming nervousness, Bai Jie obediently walked over.
"From now on, you'll be responsible for taking care of Dong'er. You'll be her personal maid, got it?"
Bai Jie kept her head down but couldn't help stealing a glance at the silver-haired, purple-eyed beauty beside Jiang Che. In that moment... she felt a pang of jealousy.
How could this girl be so cute and beautiful?
Just how many girls had Jiang Che surrounded himself with without her knowing?
Ye Mengyao!
Yu Wan'er!
Qin Qiaoqiao!
And now there was Dong'er too?
But still, she felt a bit relieved. Although she was extremely jealous, she should be grateful that Jiang Che was a man of many affections rather than a one-woman man.
Because if Jiang Che were the loyal type... she would have no chance at all!
But now... she still had a sliver of hope!
All she needed to do was to turn her relationship with Jiang Che into a done deal. Though this method might sound a bit shameless.
What Bai Jie didn't know was... Jiang Che had already seen through all her little schemes.
Still think you're a yandere?
Well, I overestimated you!
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant.

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.
