The next morning.
When Jiang Che woke up, he found Shen Yu staring straight at him, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"What? Shen Yu, don’t tell me you’ve fallen for me? Staring at me like this first thing in the morning?"
Faced with Jiang Che’s cheesy remark, Shen Yu ignored him and instead slightly furrowed her brows.
"Jiang Che, that feeling from last night is gone again. Can you do it once more? I want to experience it again... to understand what love really is!"
Jiang Che coughed dryly at her words.
"Shen Yu, that phrasing is a bit ambiguous. Anyone hearing you would think you’re delirious with fever!"
But Jiang Che understood what she meant—she wanted to relive the heart-fluttering moment from yesterday.
For a girl like Shen Yu, whose heart was sealed in concrete, even if he had managed to crack it open last night, a whole night had passed... and that fleeting emotion was long forgotten.
Making Shen Yu truly fall for him was going to be a long and arduous journey.
While "familiarity breeds affection" worked like a charm on other girls, for Shen Yu... at best, she saw him as nothing more than a self-heating 'purple mood' dispenser.
"I’m honestly impressed. Jiang Che, the master of romance, who can charm lolitas with words and conquer wives in bed... and yet, you’re the first girl to leave me utterly helpless."
Jiang Che was on the verge of a breakdown, giving Shen Yu a thumbs-up.
"Shen Yu, you’re invincible!"
Shen Yu blinked twice. For some reason, seeing Jiang Che so flustered and exasperated gave her a faint, almost imperceptible sense of amusement.
It was like an itch—you knew something tickled, but you couldn’t quite pinpoint where.
"Shen Yu, if you really want to know whether you’ve fallen for me, I’ll teach you the simplest and most basic method!"
Jiang Che took a deep breath. He was starting to sound a little unhinged.
"Go on," Shen Yu said seriously.
"When you see me flirting with other girls, does it make you feel upset?"
Shen Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"Not a single ripple in my heart."
Jiang Che: "......"
Jiang Che reached out, yanked Little Huangdoufen out from under the blankets, and planted a kiss on the soft, tender cheeks of the catgirl. Huangdoufen mewled excitedly, sticking out her tiny tongue to lick Jiang Che’s face.
"What about this? Doesn’t it make you jealous at all?"
Shen Yu’s expression twisted into one of mild disgust as she snatched Huangdoufen back from Jiang Che’s arms. "I don’t feel jealous. Don’t corrupt Huangdoufen."
Jiang Che was speechless. "Kid, you’re unbeatable. Your Highness the Princess, this servant... retreats!"
He finally understood—trying to sway Shen Yu’s heart with sweet nothings was utterly futile.
He’d have to take a different approach. Either slowly melt her defenses through mundane everyday life... or take the brute-force route and get her pregnant. Once she became a mother, the bond between them would be unbreakable.
......
After getting up, Monkey called.
Monkey and Tiaozao had now become colleagues—two of the world’s top hackers, both recruited under Jiang Che’s command.
"Young Master Jiang, Tiaozao just transferred all ten billion from Xiao Chen’s accounts..."
Monkey began reporting recent developments.
The two of them had essentially become Jiang Che’s human radar, tracking and investigating the so-called "Sons of Destiny." Every move they made was under Jiang Che’s watch.
"Honestly, I almost forgot—Xiao Chen still has that world’s richest father. Talk about stacking buffs to the max."
Jiang Che clicked his tongue in amazement, then searched for information about the world’s richest man on his phone.
Truth be told, he wasn’t particularly interested in this so-called "richest man." Because no matter how wealthy he was—what did it matter?
The life-extending elixirs in Jiang Che’s possession could make even the world’s richest man kneel and beg like a dog!
These elixirs were so absurdly powerful that even the "Human Pavilion" marketplace of the Destiny Association didn’t have anything like them.
The Destiny Association did have life-extending treasures, but their prices were astronomical, and they came with strict limitations—one might extend life by 20 years, but could only be used once.
Nothing as ridiculous as Jiang Che’s elixirs, which could extend life indefinitely!
But soon, Jiang Che’s brows furrowed.
Under the search term "world’s richest man," a series of related keywords popped up.

[The Richest Man’s Triplet Daughters—Three Adorably Top-Tier Lolitas. Are You Smitten?]
[Forget Titles Like 'Internet Mogul,' 'New Energy Pioneer,' or 'E-Gaming Kingpin'... Just Call Him 'Father-in-Law']
Jiang Che’s expression twisted into something resembling an old man squinting at his phone on the subway.
"Triplet... daughters???"
Jiang Che’s instincts tingled—something felt off.
He’d naturally heard of Xiao Chuan before, even collaborated with Yuanche Pharmaceutical on business deals.
This guy had ridden every major trend—starting with real estate, then pivoting to e-commerce with Pinbaobao, skyrocketing to the top of Dragon Country’s online retail industry. He’d also dabbled in gaming, mobile chips, and lately... some new energy vehicle venture.
Of course, Jiang Che hadn’t bothered investigating him thoroughly back then. After all, most ultra-wealthy individuals were bound to have extraordinary luck.
But now... it seemed Xiao Chuan wasn’t just some run-of-the-mill "tycoon protagonist."
Wait, no—Xiao Chuan was pushing 50. He couldn’t be called a "Son of Destiny" anymore. More like... the "Old Man of Destiny."
"Tsk tsk tsk, triplet loli daughters?"
A wicked grin spread across Jiang Che’s face.
His DNA was stirring. After all... he was a man blessed with the innate constitution of a natural-born homewrecker!
"A trillionaire tycoon suddenly finds his long-lost triplet daughters? This is just too perfect!"
"You old geezer, you lived the life of a young prodigy protagonist in your prime, and now you’re switching to the doting dad trope in your twilight years? You really want to hog all the perks, huh?"
Well, Young Master Jiang simply couldn’t allow such an outrage. The Earth wasn’t big enough for two legends.
Time for a showdown, old man... no, wait—Father-in-Law!

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards.

With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back.

He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes...
