However, perhaps it was fate playing tricks...
At that moment, Tilis learned something from her subordinate's report.
Luo Wei had returned.
He had truly returned.
Tilis's emotions were incredibly complex.
It wasn't that she cared about her own patched-up, tattered, and pitiful body.
But rather, she was wondering whether the plan should continue.
The plan must continue!
Because she didn't just want to live with Luo Wei.
She wanted to live with him in a beautiful new world.
Both were indispensable.
This disgusting, trashy, utterly wretched world!
The Church, the Vignar Empire, the Florenza Kingdom, the Winter Tribe Nation, the Archipelago Alliance, and those abominable nations of the Southern Continent—none of them should exist!!
Always scheming, always vying for power, everywhere filled with lunatics! Not a single sane person!
They should all just die!!
If she didn't know that this world was already destined for destruction, she might even lend a hand to hasten its grand demise!
She had long wanted to do this!
Especially after learning about the terrifying events Luo Wei had recently experienced in Saint Callen, she became even more certain of her thoughts.
This world was beyond saving.
If it weren't for Luo Wei, Saint Callen would have been destroyed countless times already!
Then let it perish.
Luo Wei and I will escape this world, escape all this despair...
And head to a beautiful new world that belongs only to the two of us...
Once, this was her dream.
But now, the dream is about to come true!
However, this plan still needed one final step.
She had to seal away her memories, to lock away everything from before.
Because she knew what she was like now.
The current her was terrifying, so much so that even her colleagues at the institute were afraid...
Luo Wei was so clever, he would surely notice, and she cared so much for him—what if she hesitated?
So, Tilis extracted a portion of her memories.
In her spiritual form, such a task was easy. She was already a master in the fields of life and soul, capable of feats even the legendary Usoma couldn't achieve...
She sealed away her memories, deceiving even herself...
The rest would be left to the future Tilis.
She knew herself well.
Even with fragmented memories, she would undoubtedly find Luo Wei and reunite with him.
She left behind a shallow trace of thought about the "divine," something that would thrill "Tilis," just as it had thrilled her in the past.
Everything was ready.
Finally.
Goodnight, Luo Wei.
I look forward to the day we meet again.
...
When Luo Wei finished reading Tilis's final memory...
The glowing memory fragment before him began to flicker, and then Tilis's spiritual form gradually merged with the extracted memory fragment.
Under Luo Wei's gaze, the two Tilis became one.
Now, standing before him, Tilis was finally whole again.
Her eyelashes, like butterfly wings, fluttered slightly, and her purple eyes suddenly opened.
Perhaps overwhelmed by the sudden influx of memories, her expression momentarily turned bewildered.
The two of them silently stared at each other.
"So..."
"So that's how it was."
After all, these were her own memories. Tilis quickly adapted, her expression shifting from confusion and shock to calm.
But beneath that calm, who knew what storm was brewing?
Luo Wei looked at her with a complicated gaze.
Truthfully.
He felt heavy-hearted.
He hadn't expected the truth to be like this.
Six months ago, she and Usoma had gone through such a bizarre and harrowing ordeal...
But what weighed on him wasn't the suffering of the master and disciple, but everything Tilis had done afterward.
That obsessive, nearly insane determination frightened him.
What a heavy kind of love this was...
To achieve her goal, she had even killed herself.
All just to reunite with him.
No, now it was more like...
Running away together?
Escaping this world, this world that filled her with despair...
At any cost...
Luo Wei silently gazed at her, smiling bitterly.
"Tilis, why must you go to such lengths..."
He knew that facing this version of Tilis, this nearly mad version, any words he spoke would be futile.
But he still had to say them.
"Tilis, perhaps you can't hear me now, but I still want to tell you, that beautiful new world you envision..."
"Doesn't exist."
"You're lying!" Tilis's calm gaze suddenly turned fierce.
Trembling, she grabbed Luo Wei's wrist, gripping it tightly.
"You're still trying to deceive me? You came from another world! You've even traveled back and forth twice!"
"How could such a world not exist?!"
Luo Wei quietly looked at her, "A completely perfect world has never existed. That's something you've imagined, something the Church uses to deceive ignorant believers. They might fall for it, but how could someone as rational as you believe it too?"
Tilis glared coldly at him, "What are you trying to say?"
"What I'm saying is," Luo Wei smiled, "Wherever there are people, there will be conflict. And once there are enough people, conflict becomes war. The world has always been this way. Someone as intelligent as you should understand that. If you truly went to my world and saw the same human nature—the hatred, jealousy, and greed—you would surely be disappointed."
"Wait!" Tilis seemed to be on a completely different wavelength, her face lighting up with joy as she exclaimed, "You admit it? Such a world really exists?!"
Luo Wei was stunned.
"Hold on!" He frowned immediately, "Did you even hear what I said? I'm telling you that no matter where you go, you won't find the so-called beautiful new world you're imagining! It doesn't exist!"
"No! It exists! It exists!"
She suddenly embraced Luo Wei, laughing ecstatically.
"This is wonderful, just wonderful! Now I can finally be at ease!"
"Luo Wei, you're so good! I thought you'd never open up to me!"
The hug was so intense it nearly suffocated Luo Wei, but faced with this version of Tilis, he couldn't bring himself to push her away.
Luo Wei sighed, wrapping his arms around her.
A deep sadness filled his chest, unshakable. He felt sorrow for Tilis.
She had gone mad.
With a corruption level of 100, how could she possibly remain sane?
The reason she had seemed so normal before was simply because her memories weren't complete...
"Telling you this isn't a big deal," Luo Wei said with a bitter smile, gently stroking her somewhat withered hair, "I can tell you everything, all of it..."
"Luo Wei! You're so good!" Tilis passionately kissed Luo Wei on the lips.
"Even..." She lifted her face, hesitating for a moment, "Even Ophelia doesn't know about this, do you? But you told me..."
She smiled sweetly, "Doesn't that mean I'm much more important to you than her?"
"I knew it, I knew I wasn't wrong about you!"

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!"

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!
