It's over, everything is over.
Su Muwan felt like there was no hope left in life.
She curled up on the sofa, her eyes shamefully fixed on the ceiling.
Sigh.
How did she end up so exposed?
The two people in the small group chat had already discussed it heatedly.
They were coming to visit her this week, and while they were at it, they planned to impart some love advice.
But...
Alicia giving advice was one thing, but what about Yan Qiuyue? Had she even been in a relationship before? How could she be giving advice??
Forget it.
Su Muwan sighed, sneaking a glance at Qin Luo, who was watching TV.
Hehe, why does Qin Luo look so good no matter what?
Is this what they call "love makes everything beautiful"?
Well... not that Qin Luo wasn't already good-looking.
Tsk tsk, if I were with Qin Luo, wouldn't I get to play with his hands every day?
[Loyalty +1]
[Loyalty +1]
Qin Luo: .....
He stared at the TV, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Being stared at so intently by Su Muwan was really starting to get to him.
So, he turned his head to look at her.
But...
Whoosh!
Su Muwan instantly averted her gaze.
Qin Luo: ....
He looked away.
Whoosh!
Su Muwan was staring at him again.
Alright, as long as the young miss is happy.
At that moment.
A dazzling light effect appeared on the TV.
Then, a host's voice came through.
[Hello, dear viewers! The most exciting moment of the year is almost upon us!]
[The Universal Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin!!]
[This tournament brings together the most talented individuals from around the globe! No matter who you are, this is the stage to showcase your strongest self! Whether it's strength, speed, skill, or intelligence, this is the ultimate platform to shine!]
As the host passionately narrated.
The screen began playing highlights from past tournaments.
Qin Luo watched the footage.
He had a feeling something was about to happen.
"Universal Martial Arts Tournament?"
"Don't change the channel, Qin Luo."
Su Muwan, hearing the familiar term, immediately sat down next to Qin Luo.
She intentionally placed her hand over Qin Luo's, which was holding the remote.
Then, she focused intently on the screen.
The Universal Martial Arts Tournament... Qin Luo's hand is so warm... cough.
I remember in my past life, this tournament was sponsored by some family or another.
[This year's Universal Martial Arts Tournament is generously sponsored by top families from around the world, with the scale and prize money reaching unprecedented heights.]
The screen displayed the emblems of several representative families.
Then came a series of introductions of the major sponsors.
After introducing each family.
The camera switched to a massive weapons factory, with a coin-shaped family seal above the entrance.
Inside, machines roared as workers busily produced high-tech weapons.
[Finally, our biggest sponsor for every tournament—the Qian Family!]
[This year, the Qian Family will also send their top members to compete! Stay tuned!]
[Additionally, the minimum cultivation requirement for registration is the early stage of the Foundation Realm!]
[The winner will not only receive a hefty prize of 2 billion, but also get to use the Qian Family's talent breakthrough technology once!]
[Registration is available on the Douyin platform, and specialized staff will visit to verify cultivation levels!]
The footage began replaying.
Qin Luo switched channels, but the same ad was playing on another station.
Seems like the sponsors had bought out all the ad slots.
But...
The Qian Family...
Qin Luo seemed to recall something, and he turned to Su Muwan to ask, "Young Miss, do you remember Qian Yu, the eldest son of the Qian Family?"
"They seem to be the biggest sponsors of this tournament."
Speaking of Qian Yu.
From what he remembered, although Qian Yu didn't have much talent in martial arts, he was the only T0-level destined prodigy.
Being T0-level, he must have something extraordinary about him.
Interesting.
It's been a while since he last appeared.
As a destined prodigy, if he hasn't come to provoke the main antagonist yet, it must mean he's been quietly building up his strength.
Hearing this, Su Muwan frowned, her face showing a mix of confusion and unease.
Ugh, with so much going on, Su Muwan had almost forgotten about Qian Yu.
After all, she had thoroughly offended him before.
But since he hadn't appeared, she had gradually forgotten about him.
But!
According to the usual tropes, or given her nature as the main antagonist.
Now that his family was appearing so frequently, it meant...
This T0 destined prodigy was about to make his move!
For some reason, Su Muwan had this premonition!
She nodded, "I remember."
Qin Luo blinked, "Should we sign up?"
"If the Young Miss participates, winning the prize would be as easy as taking candy from a baby."
"By then, your reputation and popularity would skyrocket, and you'd become a global superstar."
Hearing this, Su Muwan, who had been considering whether to get involved, suddenly perked up, "Huh?"
A superstar?
But...
Her mind couldn't help but drift back to her past life.
Yes, indeed.
"Heaven does not birth Su Muwan, and the martial world remains in eternal darkness."
This was the line she had shouted in front of the TV cameras during the tournament.
Her goal had been to become famous, to bask in the spotlight.
But...
The result had been disastrous.
Thinking back now...
Su Muwan covered her face, so embarrassing.
How could I have been so cringy?
Come on, I've lived a second life, I'm past that cringy phase now!
Besides, Su Muwan knew all too well.
With her kind of constitution, she attracted hatred wherever she went, let alone at a tournament gathering the world's elite talents.
If she went, wouldn't she just be surrounded and attacked?
It wouldn't be a martial arts tournament anymore, but some kind of "Exterminate Su" battle....
So!
Su Muwan sighed lightly, looking sincerely at Qin Luo, she patted his shoulder and said, "Qin Luo, it's the era of the young now."
"If I join this tournament, wouldn't I just be bullying them?"
"So, this tournament, I'll just..."
[Hello, ladies, who do you think will win this tournament?]
[The winner?]
[Definitely our Mei Mei! Handsome and highly skilled!! I saw his Weibo post! He's signing up for this year's tournament!]
[Ah! Are you from the TV station? Mei Ziang! Mei Ziang! Mom loves you!]
[Haha, you ladies are very enthusiastic. Have you heard of the Young Miss Su from Jiang City? Rumor has it her cultivation has reached unprecedented heights.]
[Su Muwan? Hahaha, I'll just say this—no offense, but old lady, it's the young people's era now. You should just stay home and rest.]
[A young miss from some small-town family, claiming she can defeat peak-level experts with a glance? Please, at least make the acting believable.]
[There was this so-called master who kept posting videos of knocking his disciples flying from a distance, but he was later exposed as a fraud. Nowadays, it's all scripted!]
[Haha, if you could say one thing to your chosen candidate, what would it be?]
[Mei Ziang!! Defeat Su Muwan!!]
[...]
The street interview continued.
Meanwhile, Qin Luo felt the temperature around him dropping rapidly.
He gulped and turned to look at Su Muwan.
She was glaring at the TV, gritting her teeth and muttering, "I was just born a bit earlier!!!"
"The future may belong to the young, but now!!"
"It's my era, Su Muwan's era!"
Su Muwan was trembling with anger, "Qin Luo! Sign me up!"
"The first thing I'll do is turn Mei Ziang into Mei Ziang pancake!!"
Qin Luo smiled and nodded, "Understood, Young Miss."
An angry Su Muwan was, in short, utterly adorable.
At the same time, a system notification popped up.
[Detected the "Urban God of Wealth" Universal Martial Arts Tournament plot!!]
[Please ensure the host wins the championship, or help the antagonist win!]
[Upon completion of this plot, a system upgrade will be initiated!]
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
