That night, Lin Muchen lay in bed, unable to sleep.
Her mind was a jumble of thoughts, chaotic and tangled like wild grass growing without restraint.
She took a deep breath, gazing at the starry sky outside her window. Suddenly, a crackling static sound filled her mind!
The sound came out of nowhere.
Lin Muchen's spirits immediately lifted!
She scanned her surroundings, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound.
"Host..."
Lin Muchen excitedly leaped out of bed.
"System, are you alright?"
"I told you, I'm back in this world where Ling Qianhe is the villain, and he's blackmailed. What should I do now?"
"How can I leave this world?"
The system's voice was intermittent.
"Once the host achieves a hundred percent攻略 (gōnglüè) completion, you can leave this body."
"This puppet is merely a tool the host is temporarily borrowing; it can only last for three months. If the host cannot achieve a hundred percent favorability with a main character in this world within three months, the host will be reduced to ashes..."
"And never be reborn."
The system's words nearly sent Lin Muchen into a breakdown.
"What?"
"You must be kidding me!"
"A hundred percent favorability within three months?"
"Is the system insane, or am I?"
"Ling Qianhe's favorability is in the negative!"
The system could sense Lin Muchen's thoughts and then spoke.
"Not just Ling Qianhe, there are other main characters."
"Host, have you forgotten? Feng Yuting's favorability towards you is as high as eighty-nine percent. With three months left, reaching a hundred percent should not be difficult for you."
Feng Yuting is the head of the Feng family.
He is another main character in this world.
He is also the primary object of Ling Qianhe's jealousy.
"The problem is..."
"If Ling Qianhe, this sickly brother, finds out that I'm trying to gain Feng Yuting's favor..."
"He'll explode!"
"He's already on the verge of exploding. Every day Lin Muchen spends with him, she walks on eggshells. If he finds out she's going to see Feng Yuting again..."
Lin Muchen gasped.
"Is there no other way?"
The system said.
"No. If you cannot completely攻略 (gōnglüè) a man within three months, your fate will be ashes and oblivion. The body formed by the puppet can only exist for three months..."
"I'm about to lose power and go offline, host, you're on your own..."
"Oh, right, Feng Yuting is having a banquet at the Royal Court Hotel tonight! You can use Ling Qianhe's pass to sneak in."
Lin Muchen's heart pounded violently.
Using Ling Qianhe's pass.
Sneaking into the Royal Court Hotel.
Meeting another man.
Doing this was too thrilling.
But she thought about how she could be reduced to ashes at any moment, and finally made up her mind.
"Whatever."
"Ling Qianhe, this spoiled brat, anyway."
"His favorability is already negative."
"His blackmail value has already maxed out."
"It's unlikely I'll ever reach a hundred percent favorability with him, no matter what."
"So, it's better to switch targets. Feng Yuting's base favorability towards me is above eighty percent, much easier to攻略 (gōnglüè)!"
Thinking this, Lin Muchen felt refreshed.
"I knew it."
"There's no need to stubbornly pursue Ling Qianhe."
"Besides,"
"Feng Yuting is actually quite handsome."
"He's the mature type of handsome. He's thirty years old, the prime of a man's maturity and charm."
"The Feng Group is worth hundreds of billions. Five years ago, when I interacted with him, I had already laid a good foundation."
"That's him, then!"
"In three months, I'll conquer him!"
"Complete the mission and smoothly leave this world!"
With this thought, Lin Muchen was no longer sleepy.
And Ling Qianhe's pass was actually with her.
After all, her current identity was Ling Qianhe's agent. She directly put the pass in her pocket and, taking advantage of the night, rushed out!
Ling Qianhe had bought her a phone. She used the phone to hail a ride-hailing service and sped towards the Royal Court Hotel!
And after Lin Muchen left.
On the balcony, the young man held a glass of red wine. He lowered his head to look at his phone, watching the red taxi drive further and further away.
His lips were stained with red wine.
Scarlet like snow!
Under the moonlight.
The young man's face was handsome, bewitching, and sharp. He murmured to himself.
"You're already impatient to leave me?"
"Lin Muchen..."
"You've truly disappointed me."
