After returning home, Shen Qianqian went to cry to Shen Mao again.
"Dad, you have to help me teach the president of Shangqing University a lesson."
Shen Mao had been swamped with company matters lately, and Shen Qianqian's whining only added to his irritation.
Unable to hold back, he snapped, "Shen Qianqian, do you really think I have unlimited power? Shangqing University belongs to Su Hua. You want me to go after its president?"
"But, Dad, your daughter has suffered such humiliation..."
"Enough."
Shen Mao cut her off impatiently. "Just leave for now. I still have work to deal with."
"Fine."
Shen Qianqian bit her lip and stormed out in frustration.
The butler approached with a phone in hand. "Would you like to see this?"
Shen Qianqian took the phone and saw photos of herself being thrown out at the gates of Shangqing University.
The comments below were filled with vicious speculation—some claimed she had bullied other students there, which was why she was tossed out. Others accused her of chasing after men on campus.
There were even remarks about how she had driven someone to suicide at Yundu University, calling her stupid and wicked.
"Ah—!"
Shen Qianqian hurled the phone against the wall, shattering it into pieces.
"Every single one of you is against me! I won’t let any of you off easy!"
She stomped her feet in a fit of rage.
The butler stood nearby, trembling, not daring to speak.
Inside the study, Shen Mao massaged his temples, his pulse throbbing. A sense of foreboding gnawed at him—something bad was about to happen.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan sat in the classroom.
Wang Dahe tossed his backpack into the desk drawer and glanced at the dark circles under Lin Xuan’s eyes.
"Xuan, were you robbing banks last night?"
"Nah, just spending time with my girlfriend," Lin Xuan replied with a tired smirk. "Can’t help it—she’s clingy."
"Ugh, here we go again with the PDA."
Wang Dahe rolled his eyes.
Ever since Lin Xuan got together with CEO Su, he’d turned into a full-blown love-struck fool—either bragging about his relationship or on his way to do so.
But this time, Wang Dahe was immune.
Leaning back with his hands behind his head, he grinned.
Lin Xuan patted his shoulder. "Son, you’ve never been in love. You have no idea how amazing it feels to have a girlfriend by your side."
"Hold up," Wang Dahe interrupted. "Don’t get too cocky. You think you’re the only one with a girlfriend now?"
"Guess what? I’m officially off the market."
Wang Dahe couldn’t stop grinning. "And she’s incredibly beautiful and sweet."
Lin Xuan froze.
Dahe was in a relationship?
Wait—
A realization struck him, and his expression darkened.
"Dahe, what’s your girlfriend’s name? How old is she?" Lin Xuan pressed.
"Wang Shiyun. She’s a year younger than me, just turned twenty-one," Wang Dahe answered.
Wang Shiyun!
It was really her.
Lin Xuan clenched his fists.
In his past life, Wang Dahe had also been with Wang Shiyun.
She had manipulated him relentlessly, making him doubt himself, believe he was unworthy of her, and indulge her every whim.
Later, when Wang Dahe founded his own gaming company, Wang Shiyun secretly handed over his game to a rival firm.
She then conspired with them to destroy his company.
When Wang Dahe discovered the truth, he jumped to his death.
Back when Lin Xuan had been blindly in love with Qin Ruoyao, Wang Dahe had repeatedly warned him that she was no good.
Now, it was Wang Dahe who couldn’t see Wang Shiyun’s true colors.
Truly, it was easier to see others’ flaws than one’s own.
"How long have you two been together?" Lin Xuan pressed.
"Only three days, but we met two weeks ago. I saved her from some thugs harassing her outside a bar. She stayed at my place for a while, and things just... developed."
Wang Dahe grinned like an idiot.
No wonder Lin Xuan and CEO Su were always glued together—being in love really did feel amazing.
"Only three days? Then there’s still time." Lin Xuan exhaled in relief.
This time, he would pull Wang Dahe out before it was too late.
He wouldn’t let that woman deceive him again.
But if he bluntly warned Wang Dahe now, he’d still be in the honeymoon phase and wouldn’t listen—might even resent him for it.
"What do you mean ‘still time’?" Wang Dahe frowned.
"Nothing." Lin Xuan slung an arm around his neck. "So, now that you’re taken, aren’t you gonna treat your best bro to a celebration?"
"Let me ask her when she’s free."
Wang Dahe immediately texted his girlfriend.
She happened to be on her phone and replied quickly: *"Work’s been hectic lately. I’ll be free next Wednesday."*
"Xuan, she’s free next Wednesday," Wang Dahe said, turning to Lin Xuan.
"Then next Wednesday it is. No backing out."
A cold glint flickered in Lin Xuan’s eyes.
Having been reborn, he was determined to protect those he cared about. This time, he wouldn’t let Wang Dahe suffer again.
Professor Wang entered the classroom.
He shot Lin Xuan a resentful look.
Lin Xuan: "???"
What was that about?
He hadn’t done anything to provoke Professor Wang.
"Class begins," Professor Wang announced, slamming his textbook onto the lectern. "First, let’s review last week’s material."
As Professor Wang lectured, Lin Xuan’s mind raced—how could he expose Wang Shiyun’s true nature in front of Wang Dahe?
He needed a foolproof plan, one that would strike decisively.
*"Your space has been updated with new medical knowledge. You can start studying it now."*
A faint, indistinct voice echoed in his mind before vanishing as if it had never been there.
Medical knowledge?
If the Heavenly Dao itself had added this content, it must be advanced.
Excitement surged through Lin Xuan as he focused his consciousness into his spatial dimension, flipping through the new materials.
Acupuncture!
Herbal medicine!
Western medicine!
Every treatment method was covered—not just theories, but ready-made solutions for various diseases.
This was beyond cutting-edge!
Perfect. With this, maybe Su Hua’s illness could finally be cured.
The medical knowledge in this world was outdated, and his own efforts to study medicine had yielded little progress.
But now, with this treasure trove, Lin Xuan felt unstoppable.
He dove into the medical texts, searching frantically for a cure for Su Hua.
Professor Wang noticed a student sleeping in class and instinctively reached for a piece of chalk to throw.
Then he saw Wang Dahe grinning at him with a mouthful of white teeth.
Lin Xuan always sat next to Wang Dahe.
The sleeper was Lin Xuan!
He forced himself to lower the chalk.
He couldn’t throw it.
Lin Xuan was under CEO Su’s protection.
His skills in computer science far surpassed Professor Wang’s own.
This was a prodigy—one to be revered, not provoked.
Pretending he hadn’t seen anything, Professor Wang continued his lecture.
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
