A "Wuju" white car continued its journey down the road.
Inside the vehicle, Su Yang drove in silence while Lu Ruoxi quietly studied a difficult problem on her tablet.
As Su Yang steered smoothly across the elevated bridge of Riverside Boulevard, sunlight spilled onto Lu Ruoxi's face. Just then, she solved the problem that had troubled her all night, and a faint smile graced her lips.
Neither she nor Su Yang noticed.
Just moments ago, they had narrowly brushed past a meticulously planned death.
...
Meanwhile, in another corner of Jingzhou, atop the International Trade Center, a café sat quietly.
Li Jinchuan occupied a seat by the window, elegantly holding a cup of Blue Mountain coffee.
Gazing outside, his face bore a smile of absolute confidence.
He was waiting for a call—one that would announce Su Yang's death.
He had already envisioned how, once the news arrived, he would approach and console Lu Ruoxi under the guise of a "grieving friend."
He had even rehearsed his lines.
As time passed, his phone finally rang.
The caller ID displayed an unfamiliar number.
Li Jinchuan answered, his smirk growing more triumphant.
"Hello?"
But the voice on the other end was not Black Panther's.
Instead, it was cold, devoid of emotion—an official tone.
"Is this Mr. Li Jinchuan? This is the Ninth Major Case Unit of Jingzhou South District. You are suspected of masterminding a premeditated murder and multiple commercial crimes. Please remain where you are and cooperate with our investigation."
Li Jinchuan's smile froze instantly.
The coffee cup slipped from his hand, shattering on the floor.
"No... impossible!"
"Who are you? You've got the wrong man!"
Before he could utter another word, the café door swung open.
Several uniformed officers, their expressions stern, strode directly toward him.
The leader flashed his badge.
Then, one of his colleagues produced a pair of cold handcuffs and clamped them around Li Jinchuan's wrists.
"No! This isn’t real! This isn’t how it’s supposed to go!"
Li Jinchuan finally snapped.
He thrashed wildly, his voice hoarse with screams.
"I’m the protagonist! You can’t arrest me! You’re all just NPCs!"
"Let me go! I need to fix the world!"
His madness drew the stares of every patron in the café.
People gaped at the well-dressed man now behaving like a lunatic.
The officers ignored his ravings and forcibly escorted him out.
As Li Jinchuan was shoved into the police car, he looked up at the sky, at the sunlight.
Yet all he felt was an endless abyss swallowing him whole.
The "divine destiny" he had believed in crumbled into dust before the harsh reality.
...
In the interrogation room, the lights were blindingly white.
Li Jinchuan, still cuffed to the chair, muttered incoherently.
"You’re wrong... all of this is wrong..."
The interrogating officer, a veteran of twenty years, had never encountered a suspect like this.
The evidence was irrefutable, the case airtight.
Yet he refused to confess, spouting nonsense no one could decipher.
Just as the interrogation hit a deadlock, a young officer entered, carrying a thick file box.
"Captain Li, the bureau just received an anonymous tip—sent through the highest encryption channel."
"It contains... every piece of evidence on Li Jinchuan’s crimes."
The man referred to as Captain Li frowned.
He opened the box.
Inside was a mountain of documents.
Bank statements, transfer records, call recordings, contract copies, witness testimonies...
From Li Jinchuan’s first act of corporate espionage early in his career to market manipulation, illegal fundraising, and more recently, embezzlement and premeditated murder.
Every single crime was meticulously documented, forming an unbreakable chain of evidence.
The level of detail surpassed their months-long investigation tenfold.
It was as if an omniscient god had compiled Li Jinchuan’s life into a comprehensive crime report and handed it directly to them.
Captain Li inhaled sharply.
His gaze toward Li Jinchuan shifted.
This man was no madman.
He was a pitiful prey ensnared in an invisible web, manipulated by forces beyond comprehension.
And the weaver of that web operated on a scale he couldn’t fathom.
"Read him every charge," Captain Li ordered his subordinate.
"Let him wake up and see who really wrote his so-called 'script.'"
With multiple convictions stacked against him, Li Jinchuan faced an eternity behind bars.
The original protagonist of his own story, after just a few short days of "awakening," had barely stirred the waters before being swept away like dust in a new era.
...
Qin Group, top-floor office.
Qin Ya skimmed the briefing her secretary had just delivered.
It detailed Li Jinchuan’s arrest and the subsequent exposure of a series of shocking crimes.
Her face showed no surprise—not even a flicker of emotion.
Only the dull satisfaction of a foregone conclusion.
She had chosen Li Jinchuan for his ruthless ambition.
She thought he would be a sharp blade, capable of drawing blood.
Instead, he turned out to be nothing more than a rusted piece of scrap, crumbling at the first sign of real resistance.
So foolish, in fact, that he left behind a trail of fatal mistakes.
This wasn’t a matter of capability.
It was sheer idiocy.
Qin Ya picked up her phone, pulled up Li Jinchuan’s contact, and decisively hit delete.
To her, this was simply a failed investment.
Cutting losses was Business 101.
She had no intention—nor would she ever—of mobilizing the Qin family’s resources to salvage a worthless pawn.
She didn’t even care to see him again.
Just then, her private phone rang.
The screen lit up with a name that radiated sunshine: Huangfu Chengshi.
Qin Ya’s lips curled almost imperceptibly.
She answered.
"Ya-jie! Our 'Edge Fund No. 1' outperformed the market by ten points this month!" The young man’s voice brimmed with excitement and pride.
"Is that so? Not bad," Qin Ya replied, her tone lighter.
"So... to celebrate, can we have dinner tonight?" he asked tentatively, hope threading his words.
Qin Ya glanced out the window.
The sunset bathed the city in a warm, golden glow.
"Sure," she said with a smile.
......
Li Jinchuan’s "awakening" and downfall were like a pebble dropped into a lake.
It sent ripples across the surface, but they faded quickly.
To the sprawling metropolis of Jingzhou, one man’s disappearance meant nothing.
But for some, it marked the definitive end of an era.
And the dawn of a new one.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
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.
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!
