Jianghai City.
Inside Tianhu Cave Villa No. 1.
On the sofa, a strikingly handsome man stared at the ceiling, his eyes filled with bewilderment.
[Accepting gifts ≠ I agree!]
[Gu Yan, you're a good person, but I'm sorry!!!! You can't use such an impolite reason to force me to be your girlfriend!]
The man's name was Gu Yan. When this familiar scene flashed through his mind, he finally understood.
"Huh?"
"Did I transmigrate?"
"And I became the rich second-generation villain from that brainless urban novel I was reading?!"
Gu Yan's heart was pounding in shock. He remembered that he had merely tripped over a power strip at home.
How did he wake up in another world?
Even if he had to transmigrate, couldn't it have been to somewhere better?
In the book, this villain also named Gu Yan, although a top-tier rich second-generation in Jianghai City, was the universe's ultimate number one simp.
The object of his simping was none other than the young miss of Jianghai City's third-tier Shen Family — Shen Wan'er.
Shen Wan'er was fair-skinned and beautiful, with an elegant demeanor. The original Gu Yan had fallen in love with her at first sight and launched a frenzied pursuit.
However... this female lead was also quite peculiar.
Despite not liking the original Gu Yan, she kept stringing him along, neither rejecting nor accepting him.
She accepted his gifts, scolded him to stay away when he got too close, and slightly lowered her guard when he distanced himself.
She had the original Gu Yan wrapped around her finger.
When the male protagonist appeared in the book, she continued to accept gifts from the original Gu Yan while maintaining an ambiguous relationship with the male lead.
This led to jealousy and rivalry between the original Gu Yan and the male protagonist.
The final outcome couldn't escape the "villain must die" trope. Unsurprisingly, he became a stepping stone for the male lead, ending up with his family ruined and his life in shambles.
Thinking about this, Gu Yan was utterly speechless.
The original Gu Yan's fate was too tragic. Being a simp was one thing, but simping to the point of family ruin and personal destruction was a bit much.
Gu Yan shook his head. "No, no, this won't do. Since I've transmigrated here, I can't follow the same path."
According to the novel's plot, he was destined to die later on. To prevent this inevitable end, he had to do something.
The next second, a mechanical voice echoed in Gu Yan's mind.
[Congratulations, host! You've obtained the "Universal Pure Love System"!!]
[You can earn points by engaging in pure love activities!]
[Points can be exchanged for various items in the system mall! Good luck, host!]
[Our slogan is — Even NTR victims!! dream of pure love, okay!!]
??
"Universal Pure Love System?"
"The cheat... has arrived?"
Gu Yan slowly typed out a few question marks, his expression somewhat odd. He knew that a cheat was standard equipment for every transmigrator.
But why did the name of this system sound so... unorthodox?
Anyway, as long as he could earn points by engaging in pure love activities, right?
After organizing his thoughts, Gu Yan immediately had an idea, his eyes revealing a hint of mysterious intent.
It's worth noting that in this brainless urban novel, there was also a major villain.
The biggest mastermind, manipulating everything from behind the scenes, was responsible for the protagonist team's numerous hardships.
It wasn't until the very end that the villain finally appeared to confront the protagonist team.
By then, the villain had killed off all but the main character of the protagonist team.
In the end, it was only through the protagonist's talk of friendship, unity, and not letting down his comrades that he managed to perish together with the villain.
This was enough to demonstrate how formidable this villain was.
Perhaps because the author wanted to wrap up the story quickly and didn't want to start a new plot thread,
the villain's background in the original novel was described in just a few lines.
[Leng Qingqiu, once the young miss of the Leng Family in Jianghai City, known as the city's top talented woman. To find her family's killers, she blinded herself and lay low for years, eventually becoming the final villain.]
[The Leng Family, once a top-tier family in Jianghai City, became a minor eighteenth-tier family due to an accident.]
Gu Yan recalled some information about Leng Qingqiu and the Leng Family in his mind.
Back then, the Leng Family was powerful, on par with his Gu Family as top-tier families in Jianghai City. However, due to a mysterious massacre five years ago, the Leng Family was nearly wiped out.
That's why they fell from grace.
It was this genocidal hatred that turned Leng Qingqiu into the cold-blooded, vengeful big boss in the original novel.
Well then, no problem!
Gu Yan's lips curled into a slight smile.
He would take this opportunity to massively boost his favorability with Leng Qingqiu before she fully became the villain boss. By aligning himself with the final villain, he could at least survive until the end!
Moreover~
Gu Yan's gaze turned to a screen that appeared before him through mental command.
[Pure love target not bound]
[After binding, pure love point acquisition will officially begin!]
He spoke with a hint of anticipation: "Not to mention I still have the pure love system. I can boost my favorability with the final boss while earning pure love points at the same time."
"By then, I'll have gained Leng Qingqiu's favor and can use the points to exchange for items that enhance my self-preservation abilities."
"This is simply... simply... simply... too perfect!!! Hehehe~~!!"
Gu Yan made a swift decision, pulling out his phone to make a call.
Actually, there was another reason why he chose Leng Qingqiu.
That is...
"Hello, Yan dear, what's wrong? Are you short on money? I just transferred another 20 million to your card, you..."
Hearing the concerned voice from the other end of the phone, Gu Yan quickly interrupted: "No, Mom, it's not that. Remember a long time ago when Grandpa arranged a marriage between me and someone from the Leng Family?"
"I was thinking, I'm not getting any younger, so... I want to try getting to know her."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Crash!
Far away on a private island resort, a charming middle-aged woman leapt up from her sun lounger.
The wine glass in her hand shattered on the ground.
"Y-Yan, what did you say?" Su Murong incredulously shouted into the phone to her son on the other end: "Son, you're giving up on Shen Wan'er??"
It was common knowledge that Gu Yan had a huge fight with his parents over his declaration of "marrying no one but Shen Wan'er," which was why they had come out here for a vacation to clear their minds.
But now their son had changed his mind? He actually didn't want Shen Wan'er anymore?
On Gu Yan's end, he understood his mother's shock, after all, the original Gu Yan was Shen Wan'er's number one simp.
But since he had arrived, he naturally wouldn't follow the old path. So he explained righteously: "Mom! I've grown up! Shen Wan'er doesn't like me, why should I force it!"
"It's better to settle down and start a family early!"
"So, my dear mother, could you ask Dad to talk to the Leng Family about this matter?"
It's not that Gu Yan didn't want to propose to the Leng Family directly, but........
No matter how you look at it, having his father talk to the Leng Family in advance would definitely yield better results than him showing up to propose directly.
On Su Murong's side, she excitedly gripped the phone, patting her chest as she readily agreed: "Don't worry, son! Since it's the marriage arrangement your grandfather made, it's only natural for us to propose!"
"Leave this matter to your mother to handle. I'll call you back when it's done! That's all for now!"
