That night.
Su Muwan wore her new shark pajamas, rolling around on the bed with her jade-like feet swinging. Her ear was connected to a Bluetooth earbud, and on her phone, she was in a group call with two people, on the other end was Yan Qiuyue.
"So, Qin Luo mentioned that he has the weekend off and wants to invite me out to play."
On the other side of the phone, Yan Qiuyue, who was at home watching a drama she starred in, suddenly realized: "Weekend off? Oh, I almost forgot Qin Luo is your recruited subordinate."
Yan Qiuyue felt a bit awkward because the way Qin Luo and Su Muwan interacted didn't seem like a normal employer-subordinate relationship. So she often got confused.
Su Muwan heard this and also felt a bit awkward: "Uh, I also always forget that Qin Luo is my subordinate."
"Like today, when he suddenly mentioned the weekend off, I almost didn't react."
Yan Qiuyue's eye twitched: "How big is your heart..."
"Yueyue~!"
"Alright, let me analyze this for you."
Yan Qiuyue cleared her throat, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Has Qin Luo ever mentioned the weekend off before?"
"No."
"That's right."
Yan Qiuyue nodded confidently: "He's too tired but still doesn't fully trust you."
Su Muwan blinked: "What do you mean?"
"You know, even a horse or ox needs rest, let alone Qin Luo who has to take care of someone like you."
"Huh? Taking care of someone like me? Why does that sound so odd?"
"Well, I mean, Su Muwan, as the big boss of Jiang City, you handle a lot of things, most of which you delegate to your subordinates, right?"
Su Muwan thought for a moment and replied: "Yes."
"So, Qin Luo, as I know, is a very responsible subordinate, so to help you, he would do everything personally."
"Think about it, from the time you recruited him to unifying Jiang City, it's only been less than three months, right?"
"Hmm... I think so."
"That's right! Qin Luo is capable, does a lot of work, and still has to take care of you. Anyone would be overwhelmed!"
The more Su Muwan listened, the more she felt it made sense, and the more she started to feel guilty.
She felt remorseful: "What should I do, Yueyue? This makes me feel like an awful person. I don't take care of anything, leaving everything for Qin Luo to handle alone."
"Muwan, you've really changed."
"Changed?"
"You've become someone who can reflect on your own actions."
"...Yueyue, are you here to mock me or to help me analyze this?"
"Ahem, back to the topic."
Yan Qiuyue cleared her throat and continued: "So, first, Qin Luo wants to rest. Second... he's worried you won't take good care of yourself, so he's choosing to take you with him to rest!"
"!!!"
Su Muwan was shocked.
So that's it!
Su Muwan swallowed hard and asked Yan Qiuyue, who had also never been in a relationship, for advice: "So, should I not go with Qin Luo and let him rest alone instead?"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong! How can you be so dense, my lady!!"
Yan Qiuyue scolded, feeling like she was flogging a dead horse.
"Opportunity?"
Su Muwan didn't quite get it.
Yan Qiuyue sighed, exasperated: "Lady, didn't we originally plan to confess our feelings?"
"Don't you remember we even invited Master Bailian for advice?"
"Oh, right!"
Su Muwan suddenly realized, her eyes gleaming with excitement: "So there are still three days until the weekend. Yueyue, are you suggesting..."
"Hehe, don't worry, leave it to me. I'll message Master Bailian right away and have her arrange a wonderful confession plan for you!"
"Got it!"
Su Muwan's lips curled into a smile, but she hesitated and asked: "There's one more thing."
"What?"
"Where's Alicia?"
"Oh, don't worry, Alicia isn't around, but that's fine. Master Bailian and I will be enough."
"Oh."
Su Muwan nodded, but still couldn't help bringing it up: "There won't be any issues, right?"
"Don't worry, there won't be!!"
....
....
Click clack.
Su household.
In Su Bailian's studio.
"?"
"This clearly means Qin Luo is going to confess, doesn't it?"
Su Bailian looked at the message Yan Qiuyue, disguised as a client, sent over and frowned immediately.
All this talk about a weekend outing.
It's all just an excuse for a confession!
Hmph, ridiculous!
Su Bailian licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with excitement, as if she had encountered a worthy rival.
Previously, when Qin Luo cancelled the job order, he said he had found someone else. It seems...
The mysterious person behind the scenes has started making moves!
Weekend, huh...
Confess your feelings plan...
Hehe!
Su Bailian slightly raised her chin. I, Su Bailian, will prove it.
In matters of love, I am the ultimate expert!!
Su Muwan, let's put aside the fact that you called me a harem fan before! Right now, this is my battle with the other side!!
As for the budget...
Su Bailian counted with her fingers. She could earn 2 million from this job.
So let's just take 100,000 for this.
Don't think 100,000 is little, Su Bailian stated. She has done so many deals, and this one will require the most investment.
And at that moment.
"Woof woof!"
Boqi came trotting in, barking.
Su Bailian's heart melted at once.
She had forgotten to feed Boqi breakfast earlier, causing Boqi to ignore her for a whole day.
It wasn't until she fed him two days of premium customized beef steak that Boqi forgave her.
But.
The next second.
Following Boqi's barks came a light chuckle.
"Su Bailian."
"You still adore this fat dog so much."
?
Su Bailian was stunned. She looked towards the door.
There.
A woman with golden hair like smooth silk, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, leaned against the wall with a slight smile on her lips.
"Alicia?!"
Su Bailian immediately recognized her and felt a sense of urgency.
Her gaze grew tense. This woman wasn't like Su Muwan, who was simple-minded. She was a cunning little vixen overflowing with tricks!
Most importantly, she was also Su Muwan's best friend!
"Hehe, it's nice to see you remember me."
"But I'm not here to cause trouble."
Alicia slowly approached, glancing at Su Bailian's computer screen.
Then, she looked at the nervous Su Bailian and chuckled lightly: "This confession plan, let's work together on it."
Su Bailian: "?"
Why suddenly does my wallet feel so cold.
....
....
On the other side.
Qin Luo finished cleaning and quietly sat in the courtyard.
He looked up at the night sky.
Then he stretched out his hand and made some gestures towards the sky.
"Xiao Jinjin, what stage are you at now?"
【Chirp chirp!!】
"So when will you be able to speak human language?"
【Chirp chirp....】
"......"
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!
