Leng Qingqiu clenched her fists, her delicate body trembling slightly. Why did this jerk have to ask so many questions? Couldn't he tell how shy she was?
But after spending so much time together, Qingqiu knew Gu Yan's personality well. If she didn't give him a clear answer today, he might just stick around.
Although... staying with him didn't seem so bad. She actually enjoyed being with Gu Yan.
However.... Her perception had suddenly increased so much that she needed to immediately consolidate and digest it.
So she could only...
"Fine, I'll say it once."
Leng Qingqiu took a deep breath, trying to convince herself, "I can't see anything, I can't see anything. After all, I'm blind, so I can't see Gu Yan."
She opened her eyes and looked at him, but then...
Buzzzzz!!!
Whoa! Gu Yan's life force was too dazzling! Waaaah!!!
No, no, she had to close her eyes again.
But... but...
After doing something like that with Gu Yan, her heart told her that she liked him.
What's done is done... Why are you still being shy, Leng Qingqiu? No, wait, why shouldn't I be shy? This is my first time, okay!
Ugh, it's all Gu Yan's fault. My mind is such a mess.
"Qingqiu?"
Gu Yan watched as Leng Qingqiu seemed to be caught in a mental whirlwind. He felt a pang of guilt and thought maybe he should just let it go and not force her to say it out loud.
"Maybe we shouldn't..."
Before Gu Yan could finish his sentence.
Thwap!
Leng Qingqiu seemed to have made a decision. She reached out with both hands, slapped them on Gu Yan's face, and pulled his head down.
She tilted her head slightly upwards.
Their lips met.
"Mmmph!"
Gu Yan's eyes widened in surprise, his hands initially flailing before quickly finding their place, wrapping around Leng Qingqiu.
He responded in kind.
After a moment.
Leng Qingqiu pushed Gu Yan away, her cheeks now dyed a rosy hue. Her voice trembled as she said, "That's my answer."
"Are you satisfied now? Pervert!"
Hearing this, a feeling of happiness welled up within Gu Yan.
He subconsciously licked his lips, looking at Leng Qingqiu with anticipation, and said with lingering desire, "Um... I didn't really feel anything just now. Can we do it again?"
"?"
"Get out! Now!"
Leng Qingqiu was utterly embarrassed and pushed Gu Yan out of the room in anger.
I'm so mad! Does this jerk even know how to be romantic?!
"Alright, alright, Qingqiu, I'll come find you later!"
Gu Yan shouted as Leng Qingqiu shoved him out of the study.
"Hmph, who even cares about you!"
"Do whatever you want!"
Leng Qingqiu snorted, then slammed the study door shut.
【Is this something I need to learn too?】
【You seem to have a good grasp on that man's heart】
".........."
"Yes, for revenge, that man must be kept under control."
Leng Qingqiu revealed a sinister smile, hands on her hips, as she cackled evilly.
【Worthy of observation】
....
....
On the other side.
Gu Yan left the Leng Family estate and got into the luxury car that was waiting to pick him up.
"Young Master, did you encounter something? You seem quite happy," Old Gao said as he started the car, glancing at Gu Yan in the rearview mirror.
"Yes, because my bond with Qingqiu's Pure Love has deepened."
"Our Pure Love has become even stronger!"
Gu Yan clenched his fist, exclaiming, "This is it!"
The Power of Pure Love!
Old Gao:......
I can't keep up with the young people's ideas anymore. What's with this Pure Love, Love Power, bonds, and friendship...
In the backseat, Gu Yan gradually calmed down and started checking the notifications from the system.
After such a Pure Love interaction with Qingqiu, plus the points he had accumulated from previous events.
His Pure Love Value had now reached an astonishing 530,000!
He continued to scroll down.
【Cosmic Pure Love Technique – Stage Three】
In addition to the old version of the introduction up to Stage Two.
There was a red dot indicating new content, as if deliberately reminding Gu Yan that the new information started here.
New: 【Unlocked – Complete Pure Love Body. This body is beyond all worldly constitutions. The host will be able to cultivate realms through the Cosmic Pure Love Technique by inhaling Pure Love Qi!】
Pure Love Qi: Before there was True Qi and heaven, there was Pure Love Qi!
【Pure Love Qi is a treasure of the world, only cultivatable by those with Pure Love.】
【Note: The allure of the Pure Love Body is immense, with extremely powerful destructive effects on any object of the host's affection! Please use with caution and remember this instruction!】
Thwap!
Gu Yan covered his face.
This system is really not serious. Can you stop being so abstract? Can you make me feel like you're a normal system?!
Pure Love Body? Instructions for use? Are you treating me like a furnace or a tool?!
Maybe I should just rename this novel to "Crap, I've Become a Furnace and Everyone's Surrounding Me!" Would that be better?
After venting, Gu Yan looked at the last notification.
Identity swap complete? Memory restored?
Gu Yan was stunned. Suddenly, crackling sounds filled his head.
"Sss..."
In less than a moment, his eyes widened as he quickly pulled out his phone and opened the selfie camera.
The face was still the same face, the body still the same body...
The only difference was that his mind now held some additional information.
Because...
"I was originally a body-swapper??"
Gu Yan was stunned. What was going on? Yes, ever since his time travel, his body had always been the same one from his previous life.
After his memory was restored, he was absolutely certain of this. No wonder when he first crossed over, he only remembered tripping over a power cord.
So how did he manage to take over the identity of the Gu Family's young master with his own appearance?
【Host, hello. Due to insufficient energy in the Pure Love System, there was a slight issue with the identity swap】
【First, the conclusion: Host, you were a body-swapper. You were brought over from the previous world by this system】
"Why didn't you tell me this from the beginning?"
【First, you didn't ask, and second, I was too weak back then. If I said anything, the world's rules would have noticed】
But now that I've finally gathered enough energy, I can reveal some information to you... which is...
This damn broken world actually has this rule: Soul-swapping ≠ Transmigration!
As long as the soul crosses over into a pre-arranged character, the world's rules will turn a blind eye, because the characters are all pre-planned. Your appearance hasn't changed, so as long as it doesn't affect the main storyline, it's fine!
【But! But soul-swapping isn't a Pure Love act, you jerk!】
【Soul-swapping into someone else's body and then doing stuff with the person you like!】
【Isn't that a desecration of Pure Love? Isn't that disrespectful to Pure Love?】
【So I made you a body-swapper, Host!】
"Alright, alright, system, calm down. Can you continue?"
Gu Yan was speechless. What was all this about? But hearing the system explain, he felt a bit relieved that he was a body-swapper.
【Okay, Host. Since making you a body-swapper drained all my energy, I couldn't completely cover your identity】
Luckily, the last bit of energy I had was used to add a setting – the engagement between you and Leng Qingqiu.
【That's why you had incomplete memories. That's the situation, Host. You're not mad at me, right? Hehe~】
“Hehe, your ghost! So why did you choose me to travel through in the first place?”
Gu Yan rubbed his temples, feeling that this unserious system choosing him definitely wasn't for any good reason.
【.......】
【Host, that's something you need to ask yourself】
"Ask myself?"
"What are you talking about?"
Gu Yan was confused.
【Host, as the Cosmic Pure Love Technique levels up, you'll get closer to the truth you want to know】
"System? System?"
But no matter how he called out, the system no longer responded.
Gu Yan closed the panel, his expression somewhat dazed.
Ask myself...
The truth? What is it?
What exactly is this world?
No, no, no matter what.
Gu Yan took a deep breath, his eyes gradually firming up.
For that plan, he must hold firm to the belief in his heart.
"Old Gao, head to Jianghai Hospital."
"Yes, Young Master."
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)

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.
