"System, can you please speed things up for me, old friend?"
"It takes ten days for each female lead to arrive, and there are so many of them. It'll take two months for all of them to get here!"
"Also, when will my background finish loading? Give me a straight answer."
In the CEO's office of Caiying Beauty.
Gu Chenan leaned back on the sofa, helplessly questioning the system.
He hadn't rushed the system before because he needed to buy a company and a house. Now that the house was being renovated and he had taken over the company, all that remained were the system's rewards.
"The next female lead will be transferred in four days. The host's background has loaded to 56%. It will be fully loaded in at most seven more days. Please be patient," the system replied in its usual emotionless, official tone.
"Tsk." Gu Chenan clicked his tongue and said, "Think about it. I've known you the longest. When I first crossed over into this novel world, weak, pitiful, and helpless, who gave me a sense of security? Who encouraged and motivated me to grow every time I felt discouraged?"
"Who accompanied and comforted me when I was all alone?"
"Who patiently explained the function of each skill to me, who tirelessly calculated my performance scores?"
"And who wholeheartedly wished for my well-being, only wanting me to complete my performance and return to the real world?"
As he spoke, Gu Chenan's nose twitched and his eyes reddened: "It was you! It was you! It was all you!"
"It's precisely because of this that I brought you back to the real world. And it's because of this that my feelings for you are not just those of a system and its host. I've long since considered you my safe harbor, my tender lover!"
"To be honest, even if the whole world betrayed me, I know you would stand firmly by my side!"
"Because you will always be my system, and I will always be your host. We will be together forever."
Gu Chenan spoke with such "sincerity" and with tears in his eyes that he almost believed it himself.
Earlier, Gu Chenan had already sensed that this unlucky system of his wasn't just a mechanical creation. She had her own thoughts and could be influenced by the outside world.
The reason he said so many cringe-worthy, cheesy lines was to test the system.
After Gu Chenan gave the system this small but earth-shattering shock, the system fell completely silent.
After waiting for a long time without hearing a response from the system, Gu Chenan asked curiously, "System, are you still there?"
A semi-transparent light screen appeared in front of Gu Chenan.
An interface similar to a dialogue box appeared. On the interface, the system replied with an ellipsis.
"......"
Gu Chenan was stunned, wondering why the system wasn't talking to him directly and instead chose to communicate this way.
"Why don't you speak? What's with just typing and not talking?" Gu Chenan asked.
The interface was silent for a moment, then replied: "It's easy to know heaven......"
"?"
Gu Chenan was stunned and immediately asked, "What does that mean?"
The system replied: "But hard to defy fate......"
Gu Chenan: ?
Damn, when did the system learn to use internet slang?
Is it because it's adapting to this world, or could it always do this?
"Did you even listen to what I said? Can you speed things up a bit?" Gu Chenan asked.
Another line of text appeared on the interface.
"You really think I'm omnipotent, don't you? I'm already working hard to load everything for you. Can you stop rushing me? Do you know how difficult it is to bring in the female leads? And your background is incredibly hard to load."
"No, you don't know. You don't know anything. You just keep pressuring me, saying all those mushy things. You only care about yourself. You're selfish!"
Looking at the text on the interface, Gu Chenan was dumbfounded.
This was the first time the system had expressed its opinion of him, further confirming Gu Chenan's deduction.
This damn system was definitely a real person!
Even if she didn't have a physical body, her inner self was undoubtedly human!
Gu Chenan's mind raced, and he quickly said, "By the way, now that I've brought you to the real world, you can't just exist in my mind like in the novel world, right? Why don't you come out and we can meet face to face? The bed in the new villa is quite big."
System: ......
"You can forget about that. I don't know what you're thinking, but to set your sights on me... that's really pushing it."
Although the system rejected Gu Chenan, one thing could be discerned from its words!
That is, the system really could appear in physical form!
However, this system girl had no intention of meeting him right now, so he'd better forget about it.
"Well, never mind then. I was thinking of taking you out for a meal to thank you. Sigh, you're not giving me any face."
"Don't bother me if there's nothing important. I'm very busy, loading female leads and backgrounds for you every day. If you want to meet, wait until I'm done with all this work."
With this last line of text, the semi-transparent light screen disappeared.
Gu Chenan's attention was still on the system's last sentence.
Wait until she's done with work to meet?
So a meeting is possible?
Wow, if she really appears, wouldn't that mean I'm truly on the path to a cheat code life?
......
Meanwhile.
In the general manager's office of Zhenhua Cosmetics.
"Deputy General Manager Sun, from today on, we're colleagues."
"You're too kind, General Manager Huang. I, Sun, will do my utmost for Zhenhua."
Sun Wei and Huang Yuan stood up and shook hands, both smiling broadly.
"Well then, General Manager Huang, I'll take my leave now. I'll report to the company tomorrow," Sun Wei said.
Huang Yuan was about to nod, but suddenly remembered something. He quickly came around from behind his desk, grabbed Sun Wei with a mysterious look on his face, and said, "Deputy General Manager Sun, please wait a moment."
Then he quickly walked to the office door, closed it, and locked it.
After doing all this, he walked back behind his desk.
"General Manager Huang, what's this about?" Sun Wei looked at Huang Yuan, unsure of what was going on.
Huang Yuan took out a cigarette and offered one to Sun Wei, then lit one for himself. After taking a long drag and exhaling the smoke, he said, "Deputy General Manager Sun, I heard that the new CEO of Caiying is quite incompetent?"
Hearing this, Sun Wei's eyes narrowed slightly. He lit his cigarette and said, "I don't know about incompetent, I just know that our ideas didn't align."
"That's what I mean," Huang Yuan smiled. "Deputy General Manager Sun, a talent like you was forced to resign by that new CEO. Isn't she going too far?"
Leaning forward, Huang Yuan lowered his voice and said, "Don't you have any grudges against that new CEO?"
"Of course I do!" Sun Wei said through gritted teeth. "But what good does it do even if I have grudges?"
"Ah," Huang Yuan shook his head. "Deputy General Manager Sun, you're selling yourself short. Your abilities are well-known throughout the beauty industry in Magic City. If you wanted to make things difficult for that new CEO, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?"
Sun Wei sensed the implication in Huang Yuan's words and asked with slight surprise, "What do you mean, General Manager Huang?"
Huang Yuan tapped his cigarette ash and got straight to the point: "To be frank, I want to see Caiying go bankrupt in a short time. The sooner, the better!"

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
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!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
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.
