"I refuse!" An Yi declared righteously.
Shangguan Qianqian raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly surprised by his decisiveness.
She prided herself on her looks—frankly speaking, her appearance had played a major role in her success thus far.
An Yi curled his lips. "You were after my body from the start. I saw right through you. Fan exploitation is unethical."
Shangguan Qianqian:
Her face darkened, fists clenched.
"You bastard!"
An Yi smirked.
This token was a hot commodity right now.
Did she really think she could just sweet-talk her way into getting it? Boss Nie was willing to pay five billion for it!
Five billion!
He could grind himself into dust for that kind of money!
Ding! Task triggered—[Bestowal]! Reward: Evil Power Value +20! Shangguan Qianqian’s Favorability +20!
An Yi: ?
He opened the task requirements and nearly choked.
[Bestowal]
Task Requirement: Gift Shangguan Qianqian the Hongtian Token ×1
He had rejected an astronomical payout to keep the token, and now this damn system wanted him to hand it over to Shangguan Qianqian?!
"Damn it! Trash system! Go to hell!"
An Yi was furious.
Shangguan Qianqian tilted her head. "What’s wrong?"
An Yi coughed lightly. "About my earlier proposal… I was being shallow. Forget I ever mentioned it!"
Shangguan Qianqian crossed her arms, her expression icy. "I don’t care about your lustful intentions."
"Uh…"
An Yi’s face fell. Now that he’d pissed her off, there was no way to backtrack.
With a heavy sigh, he pulled out a black crystal token wrapped in an unknown material.
"Here. Take it. Just don’t let anyone know—there are devices that can detect its presence."
He looked ten years older, his voice weary.
Shangguan Qianqian stared at the wrapped token, baffled. "You… why…?"
"Consider it an employee benefit." An Yi waved it off casually, though internally he was imagining riddling the system with bullets.
Shangguan Qianqian’s usually aloof face flickered with surprise as she studied him.
Ding! [Bestowal] task completed! Evil Power Value +20! Shangguan Qianqian’s Favorability +20! Current Favorability: 80!
Hearing the notification, An Yi raised an eyebrow.
80 favorability already!
What would happen if it reached 100?
Would she be so moved that she’d willingly submit to him?
Clearly, he was overthinking it.
Aside from the favorability boost, Shangguan Qianqian showed no signs of surrendering.
"Has the Hehuan Sect contacted you?" An Yi changed the subject with a cough.
Shangguan Qianqian nodded. "I’ve spread the word that you poisoned me. If I leave you, I’ll die without the antidote."
An Yi blinked. "Will they buy that?"
Shangguan Qianqian smirked. "To them, staying with you is like being trapped in a den of wolves. They’re trying to ‘rescue’ me from this living hell."
An Yi: "..."
An awkward silence followed.
An Yi’s gaze drifted to a pendant on the table—one that stood out. He reached for it.
But Shangguan Qianqian snatched it away instantly, her reaction sharp.
An Yi cleared his throat. "My bad."
He’d caught a glimpse of the character engraved on it—Cheng.
What did that mean?
Shangguan Qianqian pocketed the pendant and spoke first. "The emergence of the Hongtian Secret Realm will reshape the martial world’s landscape. For our Asura Sect, it’s also an opportunity to rise. Don’t waste it."
An Yi’s lips curled.
The Hongtian Secret Realm would open in just half a month.
He was growing more eager by the day.
"Well, it’s late. I’ll head out. See you at the Hongtian Secret Realm."
Without waiting for a reply, An Yi stretched and sauntered out the door.
Watching his retreating figure, Shangguan Qianqian fell into thought, her eyes lingering on the wine glass.
It wasn’t wine—it was an aphrodisiac.
Once opened, its effects would permeate the air, heightening arousal and… performance.
The antidote was drinking it.
Yet An Yi, completely unguarded, had resisted its influence effortlessly.
Just what kind of man is he?
Clutching the Hongtian Token, Shangguan Qianqian felt an unfamiliar surge of curiosity about him.
That careless, roguish exterior… was it all just a facade?
---
Midnight. A Lamborghini roared down the highway.
An Yi cursed. "What the hell? It’s been an hour—why is it still standing strong?!"
As the Hongtian Secret Realm’s opening drew near, the battle for tokens intensified.
At the edge of Dongnan Province, atop a hill—
Two groups clashed in a bloody struggle.
"Wang Chuan, you’re the last one left. Hand over the token."
A portly man draped in a fur coat and gold chains grinned smugly.
Behind him stood a group of masked enforcers, each radiating killing intent.
Wang Chuan knelt, battered and bloodied, his eyes filled with grief as he stared at the corpses around him.
To protect this token—
He’d lost everything.
His brothers-in-arms, gone. Only he remained.
Trembling, he raised the token, tears and snot streaming down his face. "Tiger Lord, take it… just spare me. I’ve got nothing left."
The fur-clad man took the token and smiled warmly—before flicking his wrist.
A silver thread flashed.
Wang Chuan’s neck split open.
Thud. His head rolled to the ground.
"Congratulations, Tiger Lord!"
The subordinates bowed in unison.
The fur-clad man—nicknamed Northeast Tiger—laughed heartily, his golden teeth gleaming.
"With this token, our future is set! From now on, us nine brothers—"
He paused.
The numbers didn’t add up.
One, two, three… eight, nine.
Including him, that made ten.
"Shit, there’s an extra!"
Northeast Tiger scowled at a frail old man who stood out among the burly fighters.
"Tsk, caught me." The old man removed his mask, grinning.
The crowd gasped.
"C-Cheng Yuanfeng?!"
Thump.
The last body hit the ground. Cheng Yuanfeng stood amidst the carnage, his clothes spotless.
"Disrespectful brats. I’ve ruled the underworld for decades—you don’t get to call me by name."
Northeast Tiger was no more.
Cheng Yuanfeng examined the Hongtian Token, his expression grim.
Time was running out.
This secret realm was his only hope now.
"Old man, you’re hard to track down."
A stunning woman in ancient robes appeared, her gaze icy as she stared at Cheng Yuanfeng.
villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er. As expected, he later becomes a tool for the main character to show off and slap faces, ultimately meeting a tragic end with his family ruined and his life in shambles. Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying! (Stubborn pure love warrior + single female lead + true pure love + 1v1)
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
