"No—"
Chen Hao's mentality completely collapsed.
"Shuang'er... how could Shuang'er say such things about me?"
"It must be Jiang Che—that damn Jiang Che! I swear I won’t rest until he’s ruined! If it weren’t for Shuang'er’s sake... do you think I’d even bother talking to him?"
But what truly devastated Chen Hao were Shuang'er’s words.
His own little sister—the girl who once looked at him with nothing but admiration—was gone. Completely, from the inside out, dyed in Jiang Che’s colors.
His sweet little cotton-padded jacket had turned into toxic polyester!
After venting for a while, Chen Hao sank into bitter contemplation.
Finally, he let out a long sigh toward the sky. "I’ll have to wait a while before breaking the news to Shuang'er. Jiang Che, you call yourself a man who defies fate? Yet you’re this arrogant?"
There was no other way. No matter how much he cursed Jiang Che, the truth remained—Jiang Che was now his brother-in-law. And he didn’t want to see his little sister become a widow.
He’d have to save the situation through indirect means.
......
Early the next morning.
"Ahahaha! Wake up, you stinky loser! If you don’t get up now, I’ll shove my toes in your mouth!"
Yu Wan'er stood triumphantly at the head of Jiang Che’s bed, her short legs spread wide, hands on her hips. Her petite face, no bigger than a palm, radiated smugness. She was practically itching to stuff her tiny feet into Jiang Che’s mouth.
After all, yesterday’s teamwork with the girls had finally given them a win.
"Yu Wan'er, do you really think just because school’s started, I can’t deal with you?"
Jiang Che opened his eyes, irritation flashing in his gaze. For a split second... he felt like devouring her.
His favorite breakfast? Spicy stir-fried Wan'er with a side of milk-soaked cream puffs.
"Alright, alright, Wan'er, stop messing around," Ye Mengyao played peacemaker.
Yu Wan'er was in high spirits, even dressing up in an adorable floral sundress, her hair tied into twin tails, paired with white stockings. Her fair, slightly chubby cheeks gave her the ultimate lolita appeal—enough to fulfill every lolicon’s wildest fantasy.
Yu Wan'er, Ye Mengyao, Qin Qiaoqiao, Bai Jie, and Shen Yu—all five girls were in the same year as Jiang Che, having aced their exams to enter Z University with sky-high scores.
To call it beastly would be an understatement. Jiang Che had somehow managed to claim all five of Shilan School’s top campus belles.
And now, even at Z University, with their stunning looks, Yu Wan'er, Ye Mengyao, and the others were destined to dominate as the new campus queens.
......
Jiang Che’s prediction was spot-on.
The moment Yu Wan'er and the others stepped onto Z University’s campus, they instantly became the center of attention.
Male students, in particular, couldn’t tear their eyes away.
The school forum exploded.
[Mind-blowing: Four drop-dead gorgeous freshmen just arrived! One of them is a top-tier lolita!]
[Damn... these girls are unreal. And they’re all friends?]
[Boys, I need their names in under a minute.]
[As a lolicon, I’m obsessed with that twin-tailed girl. So cute! She looks so innocent—easy to trick.]
[Personally, I’m into the tall, elegant one. Total goddess vibes.]
[Still, nothing beats that little lolita. My expert instincts say she’s pure as snow. I’d worship her toes. (Creepy grin)]
[Bro, y’all really out here picking and choosing?]
......
Ye Mengyao, as the heiress of the Ye family, carried an air of nobility that was impossible to hide.
After half a year under Jiang Che’s... tutelage, she had advanced from an ordinary girl to the early stages of Hua Jin mastery.
Tall, poised, and graceful—she only showed her girlish side around Jiang Che. To everyone else, she remained the untouchable young mistress.
With a faint smirk, Ye Mengyao glanced at the surrounding students.
Time to make my move.
Without hesitation, she strode to Jiang Che’s side and hooked her arm through his.
Ye Mengyao was sharp. She knew she wasn’t as favored as Yu Wan'er, but she could at least make sure the entire campus knew who held the title of "main wife."
The effect was immediate. Onlookers gaped in shock.
Some students had even prepared love letters—only to have their hearts shattered before their crushes even began.
Ye Mengyao clung to Jiang Che’s arm, her smile radiant, like an iceberg melting under the sun.
Then, rising onto her tiptoes, she planted a kiss on his lips.
The sound of countless hearts breaking echoed in the air.
Yu Wan'er and Qin Qiaoqiao stared, dumbfounded.
[Damn... Mengyao’s playing dirty!] Qin Qiaoqiao, ever the innocent, thought Ye Mengyao was just being affectionate.
But Yu Wan'er saw right through it. A pang of jealousy twisted in her chest.
[Ugh! Why am I even mad at Mengyao? She’s always been so good to me... This is all Jiang Che’s fault! That bastard should just die!]
......
Soon, news of Ye Mengyao’s public kiss spread like wildfire across the forum.
Blurry photos surfaced.
[Heartbroken: Which bastard stole our freshman queen on day one?]
[First time I’ve felt something in years, and I lose this hard? Screw this!]
[Stop dreaming, guys. That girl’s way out of your league. She’s the Ye family heiress from Hangzhou—net worth in the billions. Ultimate rich beauty.]
[Who the hell is that guy anyway? Just because he’s slightly better-looking? What’s his deal?]
[Not to crush your dreams, bro, but that guy’s the current richest man in Hangzhou. Yuanche Pharmaceutical? Yeah, that’s his family’s company—now under him.]
Jiang Che’s identity was laid bare on his very first day.
He wasn’t exactly low-key. His national fame came from acing the college entrance exam with a perfect 750 score, including a legendary essay on "The Teacher’s Discourse."
With a resume like that, topped with his other terrifying achievements, Jiang Che instantly claimed the top spot on Z University’s "Most Despicable Human Alive" ranking.
From alumni to freshmen, everyone fantasized about taking his place.
......
Though enrolled at Z University, Jiang Che obviously wasn’t about to live in a dorm like a common student.
Yu Wan'er? Sure, she was curious about dorm life—but she was Jiang Che’s personal body pillow. No way was he letting her go.
Bai Jie? Forget it. Even if Jiang Che moved into the male dorms, she’d probably scale the walls nightly just to crawl into his bed.
The only one missing was Shen Yu, who had chosen to major in mathematics and joined Z University’s prestigious math program.
"Where are all the protagonists of destiny?"
Jiang Che wandered the campus alone, deeply disappointed.
217 girls asked for his number. 46 guys did the same.
But not a single "chosen one" in sight.
"Ah—"
Life is tough, sighs Young Master Jiang!

He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter.
