That night was an extraordinary night, a night filled with ghostly wails and wolf howls!
All because of a sudden idea, a bold statement, Chen Shuo almost got himself into deep trouble.
Thinking back on it later, Chen Shuo felt that he had been incredibly reckless at the time, completely disregarding his own life!
How did he dare to have such thoughts? After a night had passed, early the next morning, Chen Shuo specially got up early to make Su Xiyan's favorite breakfast to put her mind at ease.
An exquisite family-style sandwich, paired with nutritious side dishes, milk, and chicken breast, not only achieved nutritional balance but also managed to be low in fat and oil.
Whether in terms of health or body management, this was quite an excellent nutritious meal.
After preparing everything, Chen Shuo went to wake up the sleeping Su Xiyan.
At this moment, she looked somewhat tired, with slightly puffy eyes. The puffiness was due to yesterday's crying, and seeing Su Xiyan's haggard appearance, Chen Shuo felt a pang of heartache.
"Get up now, I've made your favorite breakfast. Consider it an apology for last night."
"Don't try to sweet-talk me. You think one breakfast can make up for what happened yesterday? Let me tell you, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I won't forgive you."
Su Xiyan said, about to turn her head away in anger.
Seeing that Su Xiyan was still holding onto her grudge, Chen Shuo felt somewhat helpless. But what could he do? He had upset his girlfriend, so he had to comfort her himself.
"Alright, I've deeply recognized my mistake from last night. If you still feel unsatisfied, how about this: I'll take you to buy a handbag, okay?"
Chen Shuo actively apologized and showed his "sincerity."
Of course, this sincerity was actually something he had learned online. Unable to sleep last night, he had searched online for ways to cheer up an angry girlfriend.
There were many answers, but the one with the most likes and also the simplest was what he had just said.
Buy a handbag! It cures all ills! It seems that women can solve anything as long as they have a handbag.
Faced with Chen Shuo's words, Su Xiyan was somewhat stunned. She wondered for a moment if the sun had risen from the west: "What did you just say? What are you going to do?"
Chen Shuo hadn't expected that mentioning buying a handbag would elicit such a big reaction from Su Xiyan, but he could sense that it seemed to be quite effective: "I said... how about I buy you a handbag? Consider it my apology."
"Am I dreaming? Chen Shuo, you... even a glass rooster like you has come to your senses?"
Su Xiyan covered her mouth in surprise, feeling an indescribable excitement.
Wait, what? Even a glass rooster has come to its senses? Who was she talking about?
Chen Shuo looked bewildered, not quite understanding Su Xiyan's meaning.
"You said it yourself, no going back on your word."
Before Chen Shuo could ask, Su Xiyan pointed at him and said. At this moment, Chen Shuo's mind was still dwelling on the previous question. He had to understand what this so-called glass rooster meant.
"Alright, words spoken are like water spilled, I'll definitely do what I promised. But before that, I have a question: what exactly do you mean by 'glass rooster'?"
Faced with Chen Shuo's confusion, Su Xiyan looked at him, pursed her lips, but couldn't hold back and burst into laughter the next second.
Seeing Su Xiyan laugh, Chen Shuo felt the weight lift from his shoulders, but another burden was making it hard for him to breathe.
Until he understood what 'glass rooster' meant, he couldn't relax.
"I can't tell you! You'll definitely get angry if I do," Su Xiyan said, covering her mouth as she laughed.
"Angry? How could I? It's not like that, I'm not such a petty person. Come on, tell me."
Chen Shuo was really going all out now. He just wanted to understand what this so-called glass rooster was all about.
How had he become associated with a glass rooster?
"You really won't get angry?"
"I really won't. If I get angry, I'm a dog!"
Chen Shuo even held up two fingers as he spoke, showing his absolute sincerity. Only then did Su Xiyan relent: "Okay, I can tell you, but remember what you said. You absolutely can't get angry, okay?"
"Definitely, one hundred percent sure! How could a single phrase make me angry?"
Chen Shuo was full of confidence. In his view, there was nothing that could make him furious.
"Alright then. Actually, this term was told to me by my best friend. She said she had never seen you give me anything, that you're very stingy, don't understand romance, and are clumsy."
"Just like an iron rooster, but even an iron rooster can rust sometimes. As for you, you don't even say anything decent, so she said 'glass rooster' is more fitting because glass doesn't even rust..."
After hearing the truth, Chen Shuo was dumbfounded. Although he had guessed that 'glass rooster' wasn't a complimentary term, he hadn't imagined it could be this harsh.
That Cheng Xinran, she always seemed so easygoing and approachable. Who would have thought she'd say such things behind his back? Glass rooster? Glass rooster!!
The more he mulled over this term, the more indignant Chen Shuo became.
This was a major insult to his life. He could accept being called poor or stingy. In his view, he could take all that.
But to create a whole new term just for him? This feeling made Chen Shuo's chest heave, his breathing becoming more rapid.
"You... you... you're not angry, are you? We agreed beforehand that you wouldn't get angry. You're not going back on your word, are you?"
Su Xiyan noticed Chen Shuo's unusual behavior and quickly reminded him.
Chen Shuo hastily took several deep breaths, seemingly suppressing the anger that was rushing to his head.
"Who said I'm angry? I'm fine, absolutely fine. Do I look angry to you?"
Chen Shuo kept defending himself, but the more he did so, the more it felt like an impassable bend in the road, always stuck in his chest.
For a moment, it even made it difficult for him to breathe smoothly.
"You call me a glass rooster, huh? Come on, get up and let's go. Today, I'm going to show you that your boyfriend isn't such a stingy person."
Chen Shuo didn't even care if Su Xiyan had washed up yet, pulling her to leave.
Fortunately, Su Xiyan stopped Chen Shuo at the critical moment: "Alright, I've already said it was just a joke, don't take it seriously. As for buying a handbag or not, it doesn't matter. I'm not angry anymore. As long as I have you, that's enough."
Su Xiyan said, burying her head deep in Chen Shuo's embrace.
But Chen Shuo couldn't remain calm at this moment. The decision he had made was like water spilled: "Hurry up and get ready. I said I'd take you to buy this handbag today, and I'm definitely going to do it!"
"Come on, let's get ready to go!"

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.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
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)
