This guy must be out of his damn mind!
He dragged her all the way from Yunzhou City, tied her up, and brought her to his house—only to do absolutely nothing with her!
And now this bastard wants her to leave???
No matter how composed Shangguan Qianqian usually was, she had never felt such overwhelming fury before.
Her chest heaved with rage!
An Yi’s gaze followed the rise and fall.
"You want me to leave at this hour?"
Shangguan Qianqian steadied herself, her cold, beautiful eyes fixed on An Yi as she spoke.
What the hell was this guy planning by kidnapping her?
"What? Trying to freeload a place to stay? There’s no room for you here!"
An Yi shrugged.
His mission was done—why the hell would he keep her around?
He glanced at Shangguan Qianqian. Her favorability toward him had just jumped by 20 points, now sitting at a terrifying 60!
For An Yi, that was a nightmare of a number.
That damn bodyguard had traumatized him.
He used to think favorability started at -100!
Shangguan Qianqian stared at An Yi, then scoffed. "Actually, we could share a room."
An Yi gulped. "T-that’s not appropriate! A man and a woman alone together, and you’re a celebrity—what if rumors spread? I mean, this is—"
"You’re overthinking it. Where’s the bathroom? I need to shower." Shangguan Qianqian replied coolly.
After a night of battle—flying swords, explosions, and chaos—she was covered in dust, her clothes filthy.
"Over there."
An Yi pointed casually.
Though it was a two-bedroom apartment, the place wasn’t big. The bathroom wasn’t hard to find.
Shangguan Qianqian held out her hand. "I need clothes to change into."
"Here."
An Yi pulled out a T-shirt and shorts from his room and handed them to her. Then, smirking, he added, "Want to shower together? Save some time—"
SLAM!
The bathroom door shut in his face.
Soon, the sound of running water echoed from inside.
An Yi yawned.
This woman had no manners.
Earlier, she’d been eyeing him like a piece of meat, ready to pounce!
Now she wouldn’t even let him watch her shower? He’d kick her out tomorrow!
Under the icy spray of the shower, Shangguan Qianqian’s flawless, porcelain skin glistened.
She closed her eyes, lost in thought.
She was a reincarnator.
In her past life, she had been the Holy Maiden of the Pleasure Sect—not some celebrity.
Her existence had been dull beyond words.
For over twenty years, her beauty alone had made her the most coveted woman in the martial world.
Yet, that same beauty had doomed her.
The Blood Fiend Sect’s leader, lusting after her, had demanded her hand in marriage.
The Pleasure Sect’s master, eager to curry favor, had thrown her into the fire without hesitation.
The Blood Fiend Sect leader was infamous for his cruelty—countless women had been turned into blood puppets, tortured and enslaved for his pleasure.
Entering his sect would have been a fate worse than death.
Everyone knew what awaited her. Yet everyone had pushed her toward it.
Refusing to submit, Shangguan Qianqian had drawn her sword and taken her own life.
She had thought her miserable existence was finally over.
But fate had other plans—she was reborn.
In this life, she refused to follow the same path.
She struggled to break free from the Pleasure Sect’s control while growing stronger.
But as the time of her past-life death drew near, she still hadn’t reached the power she needed.
So, guided by a woman in yellow robes, she had sought out An Yi.
She didn’t know much about him.
In her past life, she hadn’t been important enough to cross paths with someone of his stature.
All she knew was that he would become the Night Emperor, the leader of the Asura Gate—a name feared across the world.
And Lin Chen, Bai Xiu, Fang Jueming, and others would become the Asura Gate’s legendary God Kings, terrorizing the martial world.
But that was years from now.
In this timeline, An Yi was still a shameless nobody, with no trace of the future overlord he’d become.
Yet she knew he possessed an immense bloodline power.
So, she had kidnapped him, intending to use the Pleasure Sect’s forbidden technique—a one-time-only transfer—to steal his bloodline for herself.
But she had failed.
And made an enemy of him in the process.
She had abandoned the idea of taking his power.
Tonight, the appearance of Lin Chen and the others had made one thing clear—An Yi was no ordinary loser.
If she had succeeded in stealing his bloodline, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Lin Chen and Chen Bing alone were forces she couldn’t hope to oppose.
Now, with An Yi here, perhaps the best path was to align herself with him.
Joining the Asura Gate might be her best chance at revenge.
The Asura Gate was a towering tree—she could seek shelter under its branches.
The grudges of her past life…
She would settle them with her own hands.
Shangguan Qianqian’s gaze hardened with resolve.
BANG BANG BANG!
A fist hammered on the bathroom door.
"Are you done yet?! It’s been an hour! I’m about to piss myself!"
An Yi’s voice snapped her back to reality.
The door opened.
Shangguan Qianqian stepped out, dressed in An Yi’s T-shirt and shorts.
Even in a man’s clothes, her beauty was undeniable.
The oversized shirt draped over her curves, somehow making her figure even more alluring.
"What the hell? You trying to bankrupt me with water bills?"
An Yi grumbled as he pushed past her, yanking his belt loose to relieve himself.
Midstream, he froze.
There, hanging on the rack, was a familiar set of black lace lingerie.
His blood rushed south.
She wasn’t wearing anything underneath?!
H-how could she do this in someone else’s home?!
Finishing up, he zipped his pants and stormed back to the bedroom, ready to demand an explanation.
The door swung open.
Shangguan Qianqian was drying her hair, raising an eyebrow at his dramatic entrance.
An Yi swallowed hard.
True beauty wasn’t just skin-deep—it was an aura, a presence.
And Shangguan Qianqian had the kind of allure that could bring empires to their knees.
"I saw the spare bedding. I won’t take the bed." She pointed to the makeshift mattress on the floor.
An Yi cleared his throat. "That’s not the point."
Shangguan Qianqian tilted her head. "Then what is?"
An Yi met her gaze seriously. "What exactly is the Asura Gate? And how do you know about it?"
Shangguan Qianqian studied him, then smirked. "The Asura Gate… is your future empire."
"Future?"
An Yi frowned. "How could you possibly know about the future?"
"What if I told you I can see the future? Would you believe me?" she teased.
An Yi narrowed his eyes. "You think I’m stupid?"
Wait—how had the conversation derailed like this?!
"Turn off the light."
Shangguan Qianqian ignored his question, stretching out on the floor bedding, her raven hair spilling like ink.
An Yi gulped.
Sharing a room with her… his stamina wouldn’t survive.
Just then, the door creaked open.
Shen Muxuan, clad only in a delicate bellyband and undergarments, her snow-white figure alluring, rubbed her eyes drowsily and murmured, "An Yi, you're back?"
In an instant—
The entire room fell into silence.
An Yi's hair stood on end.
"What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night?!"
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
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.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
