Shangguan Chuxue's Villa.
In the brightly lit room, Shangguan Chuxue stood in front of a full-length mirror.
Behind her, Shui Yue nervously watched Shangguan Chuxue's back, holding the evening gown for tonight's banquet in her hands, her mind racing.
It seems that the master's focus has been entirely on Su Muwan lately.
Even a banquet like this, which she would usually disdain, she is now attending.
"Shui Yue, I heard that Su Muwan beat up the second young master of the Ye Family on their turf last night?"
Shangguan Chuxue looked at her stunning reflection in the mirror and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Who else in the world could rival her beauty and grace?
Shui Yue handed her a new gown, swallowing hard before speaking, "Yes, apart from the Ye Family, the young masters and ladies of the other families will also be at tonight's banquet..."
Before she could finish.
Shangguan Chuxue chuckled and shook her head, her eyes filled with disdain. "A bunch of fools, as dumb as pigs."
"What could they possibly do to Su Muwan?"
"Of course..."
Shangguan Chuxue held the new gown against her chest, a slight smirk playing on her lips. "All we need is for Su Muwan to offend most of the families in Wang City."
Tonight... she believed it would be a delightful evening.
And then there's that lackey by Su Muwan's side.
Shangguan Chuxue's eyes turned cold. How dare a mere follower speak to her so disrespectfully.
Tonight, she would see just what that lackey was capable of!
.....
.....
Time passed.
That evening.
The Long Family's banquet was held in the most luxurious Dragon Scale Banquet Hall in Wang City. The venue was adorned in gold and splendor, exuding opulence.
Members of various influential families arrived, and the atmosphere was lively and bustling.
In the banquet hall, guests dressed in lavish gowns and suits exchanged pleasantries, raising their glasses in toasts, creating a warm and festive ambiance.
Shangguan Xiao was in high spirits today. Wearing a purple gown, she held onto the arm of Long Jiuxiao, who was soon to be her husband, greeting the guests with a radiant smile.
"Miss Shangguan, congratulations on your upcoming union. What joyous news!"
A family lord from the Li Family approached, offering his congratulations with a bow.
Shangguan Xiao smiled in response. "Thank you, Li Family Lord, for your kind wishes."
"Xiao Jiu, Miss Shangguan, may you grow old together in happiness and harmony."
"Thank you, Zhao Family Lord."
"Hahaha, brother-in-law, may you have many children soon!"
A burly man stepped forward, clapping Long Jiuxiao on the shoulder with a booming laugh.
However...
Shangguan Xiao noticed Long Jiuxiao's distracted demeanor and first playfully scolded the burly man, "Brother, what are you saying? Jiuxiao and I are far from thinking about children yet!"
"Never mind you, Jiuxiao, let's go over there."
As she spoke, she pulled Long Jiuxiao aside.
Once they were away from the crowd.
Her brows furrowed slightly as she complained, "Long Jiuxiao, why are you so distracted? Everyone is watching!"
"And why didn't you respond when my brother spoke to you?"
Shangguan Xiao possessed the "Innate Essence," and her future achievements were destined to reach at least the Peak Realm.
Thus, in her relationship with Long Jiuxiao, she had always held the upper hand.
After all, what did it matter if you were the Long Family's Marshal? Compared to someone like her, who possessed the "Innate Essence," you were nothing!
Long Jiuxiao looked at Shangguan Xiao, his throat moving as if he wanted to say something.
But just then, a light chuckle interrupted their thoughts.
"Long time no see, little sister."
Shangguan Xiao: ?
Long Jiuxiao: !
She froze for a moment before turning to see her so-called "useless" older sister, Shangguan Chuxue, approaching gracefully from the side.
Her gown was equally stunning, almost overshadowing Shangguan Xiao's own.
Shangguan Xiao sneered, "Shangguan Chuxue, I don't recall inviting you."
"Oh?"
Shangguan Chuxue chuckled lightly, then glanced at Long Jiuxiao, who looked somewhat uncomfortable. "But I was invited by Marshal Long. If you don't want me here, I can leave."
At these words, Shangguan Xiao's expression twisted in anger.
She turned to Long Jiuxiao, disbelief in her voice, "Long Jiuxiao, you... invited this waste behind my back?"
Sigh.
Long Jiuxiao took a deep breath, seemingly struggling with his words. "Xiao Xiao, don't be like this."
"Shangguan... Chuxue is still your sister. It's only natural to invite her."
Seeing Long Jiuxiao defend Shangguan Chuxue, Shangguan Xiao's face darkened further.
But since it was their engagement banquet, she didn't want to cause a scene.
With a cold snort, she said to Shangguan Chuxue with a mocking tone, "Consider yourself lucky. I'm in a good mood today, so take this chance to see just how happy I am!"
With that, she pulled Long Jiuxiao away.
But halfway through.
Shangguan Chuxue suddenly added, "Little sister, Su Muwan will also be here tonight."
Su Muwan!
At the mention of that name, Shangguan Xiao's expression stiffened.
But she quickly shook her head and sneered, "So what if she comes? I was the one who invited her!"
"Out there, I admit she has some skills."
"But..."
"In Wang City, what is Su Muwan worth?!"
With that, Shangguan Xiao left, still holding onto Long Jiuxiao's arm.
As for Shangguan Chuxue, a slight smile played on her lips.
Then let me look forward to it...
Our first meeting.
Time passed.
Guests continued to arrive.
The young members of the various families gathered together, discussing how to humiliate Su Muwan.
"Sister Ye, I heard that Su Muwan caused trouble on your turf?"
"That's right, the scene was quite something!"
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Sister Ye!"
A man thumped his chest, grinning maliciously. "If Su Muwan dares to show up, I'll make sure she regrets it!"
Hehe, that's right, just like this.
If everyone condemns Su Muwan, even the combined forces of the Su and Ning Families won't be able to withstand the pressure...
Ye Meng smiled faintly. She couldn't wait to see Su Muwan's humiliated expression.
Just as she was thinking this.
Crack!
The doors slowly opened.
Whoosh!
All eyes turned to the entrance, wondering who would arrive so late when the banquet was about to begin.
But with one glance, the entire banquet hall fell silent.
Two figures walked in gracefully.
The woman wore a black evening gown.
The skirt flowed elegantly to the ground, accentuating her tall and graceful figure.
Her black hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, her face as radiant as a peach blossom, her features as delicate as a painting.
The man, on the other hand, wore a well-tailored black suit, the collar of his white shirt slightly open. His features were sharp, and a friendly smile played on his lips.
Together, they looked like a perfect pair, exuding an aura of elegance and brilliance.
This was Ye Meng's first time seeing Su Muwan and Qin Luo in person.
Their presence was indeed impressive.
But that was all. With everyone united against them, they wouldn't stand a chance!
Just as Ye Meng was about to signal her subordinates to test Su Muwan.
In the next moment.
Qin Luo scanned the crowd, his lips curling into a mischievous grin. "Which of you fools..."
"Was badmouthing my lady?"
The Ning Family members, who had just stepped in: ???
Su Bailian, who had dressed up beautifully and was planning to charm a few Wang City sycophants: ???
nto another world, I bought a slave for the first time, never expecting the silver wolf girl to be so cute... Lin Feng: I know it's cold, but you don't have to sneak into my bed! Yuna: Just sharing body warmth, if you dare do anything naughty, I'll definitely...
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.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
