During the banquet, Ye Changkong couldn't find Ye Mengyao and started to get a bit anxious. Could she really have gotten drunk?
Thinking of this, he called Jiang Che.
"Xiao Che, is Mengyao with you?"
"Uncle Ye, Ye Mengyao got drunk and now she's clinging to me..."
Jiang Che lay on the bed, his tone slightly cold.
When Ye Changkong heard that Jiang Che had taken Ye Mengyao away, he breathed a sigh of relief, but soon his heart filled with bitterness.
Jiang Che drugging Mengyao? He certainly wouldn't believe such a crude lie from Lin Yu.
But a grown man with a young, beautiful, and drunk girl...
How could he not know what might happen?
Although Jiang Che had always shown an attitude of disinterest towards Ye Mengyao, with a beauty in his arms... who could resist?
"Xiao Che... how is Mengyao now?" Ye Changkong asked with concern.
Jiang Che replied irritably, "She drank too much and kept pestering me to tell her stories. She's asleep now."
As an ultimate daughter-con, Ye Changkong wasn't at all comfortable leaving Ye Mengyao with Jiang Che, a grown man.
"Where are you two? I'm coming over right now!"
But Lin Xue quickly snatched the phone from Ye Changkong. "Xiao Che, our Mengyao is in your care now. She can't handle her drink, so take good care of her."
And with that, she hung up the phone in a flash.
Ye Changkong was completely baffled. "Honey, what are you doing? Mengyao is with Jiang Che! What if something happens?"
Lin Xue glared at him. "Young people's affairs, you don't need to meddle. This is a crucial opportunity for Mengyao and Jiang Che to get closer. If you interfere... Mengyao might not thank you; she might even hate you!"
Ye Changkong grew even more anxious. "What if they end up doing something they shouldn't? That's my daughter~~~"
Lin Xue, however, was confident. "I know Jiang Che well. He's a well-behaved boy and won't do anything out of line."
"And have you ever thought... that Mengyao might have deliberately gotten drunk?"
"Ah? Honey, is that even possible?"
The two of them, with their overactive imaginations, began to overthink the situation.
However, their plans clearly backfired.
Who is Jiang Che, after all?
......
Although Ye Mengyao's birthday banquet had ended, many people were still preoccupied with their thoughts.
For instance, Bai Jie, who had drugged Ye Mengyao, was filled with regret. Others might not know... they all thought Ye Mengyao was just drunk, but she knew very well that Ye Mengyao had been drugged!
A man and a woman alone together, with the girl drugged... no need to think to know what would happen.
Yu Wan'er was also quite nervous.
She knew Jiang Che all too well. Although he put on a cold front, seemingly uninterested in Ye Mengyao,
his true nature was that of a super pervert. With a drunk Ye Mengyao in his hands... what else could happen?
This left her thoughts in a tangle. Although Jiang Che left a very bad impression on her, she had to admit... she was starting to develop feelings for him.
"Pervert! Bastard! Scumbag!"
The little girl was on the verge of tears, cursing Jiang Che in her heart and stomping her feet in anger.
......
Ye Mengyao's 19th birthday passed in her sleep.
She slept straight from Saturday noon until the next morning.
"Mmm~"
The girl slowly opened her eyes, "The bed is so warm~"
Ye Mengyao gradually opened her eyes, then instinctively frowned.
But when she focused her gaze, she was instantly dumbfounded.
No way???
What exactly happened last night?
She only remembered drinking a cup of wine, feeling uncomfortable, and going to the bathroom. Everything after that was a blur.
Endless fear and panic almost made her cry.
But when she saw the face of the person beside her, she was slightly stunned.
Jiang... Jiang Che?
How could it be Jiang Che?
This realization greatly calmed Ye Mengyao's initial panic.
Luckily... it wasn't someone else.
Even, there was an imperceptible joy in her heart.
But as long as it was Jiang Che... she felt very safe.
Thus, she curled up beside Jiang Che, secretly observing the boy's profile.
He was indeed very handsome!
This made her think of her aversion to men.
It turned out that what she hated wasn't men, but ugly men.
As she was lost in thought, Jiang Che opened his eyes.
Ye Mengyao: "≧﹏≦"

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

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.”

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!
