The next day.
Sunlight filtered through the curtains, bathing the room in a warm glow.
Su Muwan stirred awake under the gentle touch of the morning sun, the soft sound of the breeze whispering in her ears.
"Mmm~~"
She stretched, shaking off the remnants of sleep, and sat up, rubbing her eyes vigorously to fully wake herself.
She glanced around, noticing Qin Luo was nowhere to be seen.
After a while.
"Luo Luo!!"
Click—!
The door opened, and Qin Luo walked in wearing an apron. He smiled warmly at the now-awake Su Muwan and said, "Good morning, Miss. Time to brush your teeth, wash your face, and have breakfast."
"Hehe."
Su Muwan's eyes sparkled with excitement, a grin spreading across her face as she quickly got out of bed.
Another beautiful day!
In the bathroom.
"Here, Miss, rinse your mouth."
"Gurgle gurgle~~~ Ptooey!"
"Here, Miss, wipe your face."
"Mmm mmm~~"
"Here, Miss..."
Wait a minute!
Su Muwan pushed away the warm towel Qin Luo had placed on her face, glaring at him with a mix of embarrassment and frustration. "Qin Luo, this doesn’t feel right at all!"
Qin Luo blinked, looking at Su Muwan, who was as adorable as ever, and asked, "What’s wrong with it?"
Su Muwan pointed at the towel in his hand and exclaimed, "This makes me look like a useless, lazy bum who can’t do anything!"
?
Qin Luo tilted his head, giving her a puzzled look, as if to say...
—This has been going on for months, and you’re only realizing it now?
But still.
Qin Luo firmly placed the towel back on her face and said with a smile, "Miss, your only job is to sit on the throne as the Martial Arts Supreme. Leave all the trivial matters to me."
Hmm, raising a young lady like this is quite an entertaining game.
Su Muwan clenched her fists in protest. "Mmm mmm mmm!! (No way!)"
The protest lasted only two minutes.
Because it was time to eat.
"Munch munch munch."
At Qin Luo's insistence, Su Muwan, now dressed in formal attire, watched TV while being fed by him.
"Miss, please don’t watch TV while eating."
"Hmph!"
Su Muwan responded with a smug smile. "Qin Luo, this is my martial arts philosophy!"
Hearing this.
Qin Luo glanced at the cartoon playing on the TV, then back at Su Muwan, who looked quite pleased with herself.
"Martial arts philosophy?"
"That’s right!"
Su Muwan stood up, traces of food still on her lips, and declared earnestly, "Only by eating while watching TV can one truly experience the pinnacle of human enjoyment!!"
"That has nothing to do with martial arts."
"Of course it does! I love that old saying from our ancestors: 'You need to eat well to have the strength to lose weight.'"
"So."
"Once I’ve enjoyed myself, I’ll have the energy to practice martial arts!"
Su Muwan sat back down, her eyes twinkling as she looked at Qin Luo. "So, Luo Luo, you better make sure I enjoy every single day, okay?"
Qin Luo smiled mysteriously. "If that’s the case."
"Then Miss, you’re really going to enjoy the days ahead."
Su Muwan was taken aback and was about to ask what he meant when—
Click!
The TV channel automatically switched.
["Good morning, residents of Cherry Blossom City."]
["We interrupt your regular programming with an urgent news bulletin."]
Su Muwan turned to look.
On the screen.
The footage showed various streets of Cherry Blossom City.
Strangely, the streets were adorned with colorful flags, and hot air balloons floated in the sky, displaying images of...
"Me?"
Su Muwan was stunned. Why was there a montage of her combat highlights on the airship’s screen?
But that wasn’t all. After the aerial shots ended.
The camera shifted to the former Minister of Cherry Blossom City, Mizukubo Isamu.
Why former?
Because that’s what the caption on the screen said.
Huh... If he’s the former Minister, then who’s the new one?
Su Muwan gulped, sensing that something monumental was about to happen.
"Hello, everyone in Cherry Blossom City."
Mizukubo Isamu stood at a press conference: "Cherry Blossom City has been ravaged by the influence of the underworld."
"This is my failure, the greatest sin of my life."
"..."
After a long-winded speech.
Mizukubo Isamu took a deep breath, his gaze sharpening as he solemnly declared, "But! Now, everyone can rest easy!"
"Because!"
"Our new Minister has taken office!"
"And she is—!"
Is?
Su Muwan blinked.
She leaned closer to the screen.
Then.
Flash flash flash—!
A barrage of camera flashes lit up the screen, and Su Muwan felt dizzy.
She stared at the familiar house on the TV, and upon closer inspection.
Wait!! Su Muwan’s eyes widened in shock. That villa... isn’t that their house?!!
"Hold on!"
Her heart raced as she realized the gravity of the situation. She rushed to the window, yanking it open with a loud clatter.
"It’s Su Muwan!!"
"It’s Miss Su!"
"The Minister has appeared!"
In an instant, the noisy clamor from outside flooded her ears.
A crowd of reporters and media personnel eagerly surrounded the house, holding microphones and cameras, all vying to capture more footage.
Huh... Wait, what’s going on?
Su Muwan stood frozen, her mind buzzing with confusion.
She turned back to the TV, only to see her own bewildered face staring back at her.
Huh?
I’m watching myself on TV?
Su Muwan took a deep breath, her gaze shifting to Qin Luo. "Qin Luo! What... what’s happening here?"
Sure, she had talked about unifying Cherry Blossom City, but...
But how did she wake up one day and suddenly become the Minister?
Qin Luo stood up, walked over, and pulled a contract from his pocket, handing it to Su Muwan.
Su Muwan took it stiffly.
[Cherry Blossom City Ministerial Contract]
Huh?
There’s even a contract?
"That’s how it is."
Qin Luo smiled. "Now, Miss, you’ve not only unified all the forces in Cherry Blossom City but also taken on the role of its Minister."
How is that how it is?!
Slap!
Su Muwan covered her face, her eyes widening in shock.
Gasp!!
Everything happened so fast, she couldn’t even process it.
So, the situation is...
She looked at Qin Luo, who was still smiling, and muttered, "You’re saying I went to sleep and woke up as the ruler of Cherry Blossom City?"
Qin Luo nodded. "Yep."
This is—!!!
"This is amazing!!"
Su Muwan’s eyes lit up, her grin widening as she exclaimed excitedly, "Qin Luo! You’re truly the top-tier support of this era!!"
Qin Luo: ? That sounds a bit odd.
[Loyalty +10]
[Loyalty +10]
But as long as the Miss is happy.
Qin Luo smiled and said, "Miss, would you like to go out and give an inauguration speech?"
"Of course!"
Su Muwan hurried to the window, took a deep breath, and shouted at the reporters, "Make sure all the anime that didn’t get sequels finally get them!!!"
The reporters: "?"
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
spital. Good news: I've bound a system. Bad news: I'm still a baby. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the middle-aged for being poor — Divorce Comeback System." "Your marriage may have failed, but your luck in love has never run dry. Your childhood sweetheart, out of contact for twenty years, reappears. Her beauty remains, yet her eyes are brimming with tears." [Listen to the childhood sweetheart's sorrowful story.] Chen Zhi looked down at the diaper he was wearing, then at the little childhood sweetheart crying her heart out beside him, and fell into deep thought. Can anyone relate? I'm having a midlife crisis at an age where even rolling over is a struggle.
ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that? Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry... I will definitely protect all of you! No one but me can lay a finger on you! Guard our Heaven's Chosen Ones! I'm the only one allowed to bully them!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
