This period has been incredibly agonizing for Ye Mengyao.
Her mood isn’t much better than Yu Wan'er's.
Yu Wan'er is her closest best friend, and Jiang Che is the person she likes—both of them are extremely important to her.
She doesn’t even know who she should be jealous of.
“So annoying!”
Ye Mengyao stomped her foot in frustration, her mind wandering during classes these past few days.
......
“Sister Mengyao, what are you planning to do?”
From the passenger seat, Yu Wan'er gazed out the window and spoke softly.
“Haha... what do you think?”
Yu Wan'er’s eyes widened.
[Do you think you’re some ancient emperor or something?]
Jiang Che chuckled lightly. With his family background—the only son of Hangcheng’s richest man, his mother’s Jiang Family wielding immense power, and his grandfather being one of the top-tier martial artists in Dragon Country—he had every reason to be confident.
Yu Wan'er didn’t say anything more, her emotions growing even more complicated.
[Stupid Jiang Che, you pervert, I always knew you were a player! All that deep affection you pretended to have when pursuing Sister Mengyao was fake!]
......
After returning to school, Yu Wan'er felt extremely awkward when she saw Ye Mengyao again.
“Sister Mengyao, I’m sorry...”
Yu Wan'er lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, her small hands clutching the hem of her clothes, looking utterly pitiful.
Playing the victim was the only strategy she could think of.
Ye Mengyao’s heart was in turmoil, unsure of how to respond.
“Wan'er... sigh!”
“Sister Mengyao, I’m sorry... I really am!”
Ye Mengyao didn’t say much more. She needed to bring Wan'er over to her side.
“Wan'er, stop crying. Be honest with me—do you like Jiang Che too?”
This wasn’t part of Jiang Che’s script, but she wanted to know the truth. If Wan'er had feelings for Jiang Che too... well, that was one thing. But if Wan'er didn’t like him... how could forcing things ever work out?
Yu Wan'er looked up at Ye Mengyao, lost in thought. Did she like Jiang Che?
Probably... yes?
But more than that, she felt wronged. That jerk had always bullied her, even threatening her before. Just thinking about it made her feel miserable.
“Sister Mengyao, I do... kind of like him.”
After saying this, Yu Wan'er lowered her head, too afraid to meet Ye Mengyao’s gaze.
It’s over. She’s going to lose Sister Mengyao for good.
After hearing Yu Wan'er’s words, Ye Mengyao’s expression shifted, a hint of melancholy appearing before she smiled faintly.
Her lips curled into a grin.
“My dear Wan'er, remember what we said before?”
“Wh... what?” Hearing the term “dear Wan'er,” Yu Wan'er couldn’t believe her ears.
“We made a pinky promise, remember? We said we’d get into the same school and marry... the same man.”
Yu Wan'er’s face turned bright red. That was just a joke back then... how did it become real?
It was Ye Mengyao who had suggested it in the first place, and Yu Wan'er had agreed just to stay close to her.
Well...
You really shouldn’t say things carelessly ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
So... does this mean Sister Mengyao has forgiven me?
“Sister Mengyao... you’re not mad at me anymore?”
“Hehe, we promised to be best friends forever, didn’t we?” Ye Mengyao hugged Yu Wan'er and playfully kissed her on the cheek.
A warm feeling spread through Yu Wan'er’s heart.
......
Jiang Che was a man of his word.
He immediately arranged for Yu Weiwei to be admitted to the hospital, ensuring she received the best medical care. He even hired several caregivers, with monthly medical expenses easily reaching hundreds of thousands. But for Jiang Che, this was pocket change.
“Xiao Che, you’re so thoughtful.”
Yu Weiwei still wore a gentle smile, one that was incredibly infectious.
Though her body had been ravaged by kidney disease, Yu Weiwei was undoubtedly one of the kindest women Jiang Che had ever met in both his lives. Her kindness wasn’t about her appearance.
She might have worn a mask of pretense before, but her love for Yu Wan'er was genuine.
“Xiao Che, I’m leaving Wan'er in your hands.”
Yu Weiwei knew very well that Jiang Che’s help was entirely for Yu Wan'er’s sake.
She had always had a good eye for people, and Jiang Che was indeed a responsible young man. While he might not be someone to entrust her life to, Wan'er would never be mistreated under his care.
Most importantly... Wan'er actually liked him too!
......
Qin Qiaoqiao had asked for leave for Jiang Che.
From now on, she could only see him on weekends.
This left Jiang Che somewhat helpless. Qiaoqiao had been swayed by her parents and gone back home.
But for Jiang Che, this wasn’t a big deal, as he had already won over Yu Wan'er.
While Qin Qiaoqiao and Ye Mengyao had to return home, Yu Wan'er didn’t need to—her only guardian, her adoptive mother, had already been moved to the hospital by Jiang Che.
Yu Wan'er now had the important task of tutoring Jiang Che with his homework.
At noon, Auntie Chen, who came to cook, was once again stunned. Why had Young Master Jiang Che brought another girl home?
She vaguely remembered that the young master used to be quite devoted.
But she simply lowered her head. If she wanted to keep working for the Jiang Family, she had to pretend she didn’t notice.
...
“Jiang Che, can I sleep next door?”
Yu Wan'er blinked her big eyes, trying to use her cuteness to get her way. It was clear... she had developed a psychological fear of Jiang Che.
“Hmph... what do you think?”
Just then, a phone call came in.
Jiang Che muttered some curses under his breath. “Who the hell is calling me now?”
But when he glanced at the screen, his brow furrowed slightly.
Her?
Gu Lingfei!
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.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty!

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
