In the hospital.
“Dammit, who was it? Don’t let me catch you!”
Qin Tian was lying face down on the bed, utterly battered. Even lying still was painful, so he had no choice but to stay in that position. But compared to the physical pain, the emotional trauma was far more distressing.
Soon, the police arrived at the hospital one after another.
That’s right, Qin Tian, unable to endure the humiliation, had called the police!
“Mr. Qin, you’re saying you were kidnapped and assaulted?”
Several police officers in uniform frowned slightly. This kind of case... was something they rarely encountered.
Cases of men assaulting women were common, and women assaulting men... they had dealt with those too.
But a man assaulting another man... and leaving the victim hospitalized? That was just too explosive!
Seeing Qin Tian’s pitiful state on the bed, a young police officer couldn’t help but let out a snicker.
“What are you laughing at?” Qin Tian, already on the brink of breakdown, became even more furious.
“Uh... you must be mistaken. I wasn’t laughing,” the young officer covered his mouth, forcing himself to look serious.
“I clearly saw you laughing! You’re mocking me!”
“Mr. Qin, we’ve undergone rigorous training and usually don’t laugh... unless we can’t help it,” the officer quipped.
Qin Tian: “......”
Damn, these unreliable cops.
“I was assaulted by a man! You guys have to stand up for me!” Qin Tian cried bitterly.
“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely ensure justice for you. Do you have any impression of the person who assaulted you?” the leading officer asked patiently.
“Well... It was an overcast afternoon, and the light in the van was really dim. I could only see a shiny bald head, and he seemed to be shouting something like ‘Brother Qiang’?”
The police officer thought for a moment, then picked up a piece of paper and quickly sketched a figure. “Is this what he looked like?”
On the paper was a drawing of a bald man in a padded jacket, holding a chainsaw.
Qin Tian’s mouth twitched. “It’s not this lumberjack, Brother Qiang!!”
Unbelievable.
“However, Mr. Qin, there’s something we need to clarify first. Even if we catch the suspect, since you’re a man, it doesn’t constitute rape. And your injuries aren’t severe... so it doesn’t amount to bodily harm either. They can only be charged with indecent assault.”
“Indecent assault carries a lighter sentence, a few months at most, or perhaps just two weeks of detention...”
Qin Tian: “......”
At that moment, a familiar voice echoed from outside the door.
“Qiu Er, our company’s largest shareholder is in this ward, right?”
This voice was very familiar to Qin Tian. He struggled to lift himself up from the bed.
As he raised his head, he indeed saw two of the most familiar figures!
It was none other than Jiang Che and Leng Ningqiu!
The two walked into the ward, chatting and laughing, with Jiang Che’s arm around Leng Ningqiu’s slender waist, their relationship clearly close and intimate.
Qin Tian’s emotions instantly erupted!
But before he could speak, Jiang Che pretended to be surprised.
“Oh~ so you’re the largest shareholder of my company? My apologies!”
Jiang Che’s face showed an overwhelmingly smug smile, making Qin Tian almost explode with anger!
“You... why are you with CEO Leng?”
Qin Tian lay on the bed, his backside sticking up, yelling in outrage.
“Why not? I’m the chairman of Qiangsheng Group, and Qiu Er is my woman!”
As he said that, Jiang Che’s hand pressed against Leng Ningqiu’s neck, and he kissed her.
Qin Tian’s eyes widened in shock.
Shoes you couldn’t bear to buy, someone else has practically worn to tatters!
“You’re the investor of Qiangsheng Group? I... I get it now! You were setting me up, weren’t you?”
Qin Tian stared at the radiant Leng Ningqiu and the playfully mocking Jiang Che, and suddenly everything became clear!
Leng Ningqiu was Jiang Che’s woman, and the previous call from Leng Ningqiu inviting him to invest in Qiangsheng Group had all been a calculated move.
They had conspired to trick him!
Before he invested, everyone at the company treated him like a king. But after he invested... he was reduced to a nobody, unable to even fire a lowly security guard!
“You’re a dog, you know that!? You already have one woman in Gu Lingfei, and now you’re not even letting Leng Ningqiu go?”
“CEO Leng, don’t listen to him! This guy has one woman already, he’s two-timing!”
Qin Tian shouted desperately.
But an even more devastating revelation was yet to come.
Leng Ningqiu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her typically aloof demeanor softened. Her fox-like eyes, filled with a shimmering softness, gazed at Jiang Che.
“No matter how many women are by my Master’s side, Qiu Er will always love him,” she declared.
Qin Tian: “......”
The police officers beside them: “......”
Too explosive!
Qin Tian was so overwhelmed with anger that he could barely form coherent sentences. His trembling finger pointed at Jiang Che, watching as Jiang Che’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. He seemed to realize something.
“Officers! It must be him! He’s the one who framed me, it must be him!”
But the police all looked at him as if he were a complete idiot.
“Mr. Qin, Mr. Jiang is the son of the richest man in the country. How could he be the one who assaulted you? It’s absurd!”
“Yes, earlier you mentioned the assailant was a bald man. You’re talking nonsense now. Your mental state is worrying.”
Qin Tian: “It’s not like that! That bald man must be someone he hired!”
Unfortunately, his words carried no credibility whatsoever.
The police took down some notes and left.
Qin Tian glared furiously at Jiang Che. If looks could kill, Jiang Che would have been dead a thousand times over.
“This is our second meeting, right? Why do you keep targeting me?”
Jiang Che laughed and shook his head. “If dating girls is considered targeting you... then everyone in the world is your enemy.”
Qin Tian was left speechless by Jiang Che’s absurd logic. “Just you wait. I now hold 31% of Qiangsheng Group’s shares, making me the largest shareholder. One day, I’ll take over Qiangsheng Group!”
Then his gaze shifted to Leng Ningqiu. “CEO Leng, you’re being blinded by this scumbag. One day, I’ll make you see just how vast the difference is between him and me!”
Qin Tian’s antics almost made Jiang Che laugh out loud. One glance was enough to tell he was a complete moron!
“What’s the difference between you and me? Heh…”
“The difference is… I can get her, and you can only get yourself!”
Jiang Che’s brazen remark completely shattered Qin Tian’s defenses.
Qin Tian was the kind of luck-ridden protagonist from ancient web novel clichés—always seeking revenge and showing off, but with absolutely no depth. However, Jiang Che enjoyed dealing with such clueless “zeroes.” After all, Lin Yu had been molded by him from the start.
Brother Qiang had already tasted Qin Tian’s charm. If Jiang Che hadn’t stopped them, Qin Tian would have already been locked away in Brother Qiang’s secret lair.
Jiang Che was waiting for this guy to cough up the cash first. Once he’d squeezed out those ten billion, Brother Qiang could “guide” him a bit more. Brother Qiang’s brainwashing abilities were something Jiang Che trusted implicitly.
Even though Brother Qiang’s own capabilities were mediocre, he was every luck-ridden protagonist's nightmare.
Once Qin Tian was thoroughly brainwashed, he could be put to good use. After all, the guy had an uncanny ability to predict the stock market!
Such a golden finger in the hands of a mediocre guy like Qin Tian was a complete waste. But in the hands of professional investors like Leng Ningqiu… it would be a terrifying money-making machine!
Qin Tian, who had already been fuming into unconsciousness, was completely unaware that Jiang Che had already mapped out his future life trajectory!

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.

Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid.

Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
