The next morning.
At seven in the morning, sunlight filtered through the gauzy curtains, scattering into tiny flecks of light on Su Muwan's eyelashes.
She curled deeper into the goose-down quilt, rolling over with a soft whimper as the soreness in her lower back made itself known.
"Mmm..."
The fog of sleep slowly receded from her nerves.
Su Muwan blinked her bleary eyes, watching the dancing light patterns on the ceiling.
Then it hit her—she'd used the Water Spirit Technique again last night.
"Ah..."
"Seventeen times..."
Her sigh hung in the air like a dewdrop about to fall.
She buried her burning face into the pillow, crimson spreading from the tips of her ears down to her collarbone.
Su Muwan, oh Su Muwan, haven't you been slacking off too much lately?
No matter how obsessed you are with Qin Luo, you can't keep asking him for help like this...
But was it entirely her fault?
Putting aside the fact that she was utterly infatuated with Qin Luo...
Couldn't Qin Luo shoulder some blame too?
After all...
This was all because Qin Luo was the problem—his scent was just too intoxicating.
How could a man smell so good?
The moment she got close, she couldn't help but inhale deeply, her very soul trembling.
So.
Was this really her fault?
Su Muwan shook her head.
She was getting sidetracked. The real issue was—
Su Muwan, oh Su Muwan.
Is this behavior acceptable?
At this rate, you're going to look like some insatiable, lust-driven girl...
And even though this life was quite different from her last one...
Still...
In her past life, she had been this world's greatest villain. How could she let herself go like this?
No cultivation, no managing the organization.
Just dumping everything onto Qin Luo—was that appropriate?
After a full minute of internal struggle,
Su Muwan rolled out of bed.
Her eyes sharpened with resolve—that's it!
Starting today, she would change!
Yes, she'd begin by getting up on her own!
Just as the thought crossed her mind—
Hum!
A surge of spiritual energy erupted from her body.
"Oh... leveled up again..."
...
...
Inside the Su family estate.
Qin Luo checked the rewards he'd received from the system.

[Reward Obtained—"Maybe You'd Like to Try This" (Special Item)]
First, the attribute points. Due to provoking over fifteen Chosen Ones at once, a hidden mechanism had triggered, granting him a one-time bonus of 200 points.
He opened his status panel.

As usual.
"All points into Defense."
[Allocating points... 74 points assigned to Defense. Current Defense: 200! This has reached the Heavenly Dao's threshold for this world. Further allocation is impossible!]
[Remaining Points: 126]
Qin Luo: ?
"Defense has hit this world's Heavenly Dao limit?"
Qin Luo raised an eyebrow, amused. This was unexpected.
Also, what did "this world" even mean?
He pondered over the remaining points.
In that case...
"Allocate 100 to Endurance."
Absolutely not for any particular reason.
[Allocation failed. Endurance is fixed at 100!]
??
Qin Luo's eye twitched.
Fine.
He glanced at the other stats.
Strength... Agility... Insight...
After a moment's thought,
Qin Luo decided—
"All points into Agility."
That's right. He knew his role well—fighting was the young mistress's job.
He just needed to be able to run and protect himself.
The next second,
A cyan glow coursed through his meridians, and Dao patterns of spatial compression formed beneath his feet.
He now felt exceptionally good at running away.
[Allocation successful. Current Agility: 127]
[Congratulations, Master, on breaking through to Late Spirit Source Realm!]
"Only Spirit Source Realm?"
Qin Luo clenched his fist, gaining a renewed understanding of the widening gap between realms.
In the earlier stages, a dozen or so points could bridge a whole realm.
Now, 200 points only got him one.
Clearly, the further one progressed, the more points were needed.
But what was this world's highest realm?
"This world"...
Did that imply others existed?
Though, to be fair, this world was already a fusion of multiple realms.
Qin Luo shook his head and turned his attention to his new title.
["Rule Breaker": When equipped, the user can ignore special-type rules!]
What counted as "special-type rules"?
Qin Luo hadn't encountered any yet. Unless...
He studied his palm. Was it like his "Palm Domain" ability?
No matter. He'd figure it out when the time came.
Next...
He extended his hand.
Gurgle—
Dark matter churned as the void echoed with the growls of a million phantom lions.
A massive black scythe materialized in his grip.
The blade was forged from two twisting rivers of shadow, its surface shimmering with the golden-red stardust unique to the Hourglass of Fate.
The edge wasn't solid but woven from strands of golden causality, sharp enough to sever destiny itself.
The three-meter-long shaft was adorned with the golden lion heads of the War God's Command Token.
The moment he tightened his grip, shadow energy surged through his veins, merging with his blood to form ink-black patterns crawling up his forearm.
Most eerie of all was the hourglass device floating at the scythe's core.
When Qin Luo flicked his wrist, the sand within accelerated, erupting into crimson currents.
The golden threads along the edge flashed—
And the wall's "thread of existence" was cleanly severed.
Hum.
Erasing objects at a fundamental level...
This had undoubtedly crossed into the realm of rule-based abilities.
Qin Luo expanded the scythe's details.
["Annihilation Scythe": All previously held tools and weapons have been fused into one (Including the Scissors of Fate, Hourglass of Fate, War God's Command Token, Bronze Gate, and Shadow Force)]
[① Can carve out a pocket dimension]
[② Can sever the fate threads of living beings—The higher the target's fortune, the greater the backlash. For those with low fortune, their very existence can be erased from reality. (If a thread is visible, even a god can be annihilated.)]
[③ Can summon a million shadow lions]
Interesting.
Qin Luo smirked at the three-meter-long scythe in his hand.
So this was his new rule-based power...
Those with low fortune could simply be erased from existence.
Finally.
Qin Luo turned his gaze to the last reward.
["Maybe You'd Like to Try This" (Special Item)]
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?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
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."
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
