That night.

The night fog was thick, and the bright moon hanging in the sky was hidden behind dark clouds. The evening breeze blew through the woods, and the shadows of the trees swayed on the branches like ghosts with bared fangs and claws.

After a while, the dark clouds covering the bright moon were gradually blown away, and the cold moonlight gently fell on the "person" who was sitting against the tree with his head lowered and motionless.

The next second, his body suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but bend down due to the violent coughing, forcing him to kneel on the ground, and a large amount of dirty blood came out of his mouth.

"Cough cough..." Tianming looked at the large pool of blood on the ground. He reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, then touched his neck. He seemed to still vaguely feel the suffocation from being strangled by his neck.

It was already dark, and it looked like he had been unconscious for some time.

Thinking back to the guy who was strangling him, Tianming couldn't help but grit his teeth and was furious.

If he hadn't escaped, even Shen Junze would have died there.

The life of the system is connected to the life of the host. If Shen Junze is killed by the system, he will not be able to survive.

But he could never have imagined that such a powerful guy would let a little kid whose hair hadn't even grown out yet be his host. Isn't that crazy?

Tianming clenched his fists and stood up from the ground with difficulty. After taking a few steps, he heard a sudden sneer in his mind.

[Shen Junze: Is this the method you mentioned?]

Tianming listened to the man's mocking voice, his face looked extremely ugly, and he did not answer him.

[Shen Junze: You still claim to be some powerful system, but it seems you're nothing special.]

[Shen Junze: When you encounter a system higher in level than yours, you still get beaten like a stray dog.]

"Have you said enough?" Tianming didn't want to pay attention to him, but his sarcastic words became more and more unpleasant.

[Shen Junze: Of course not. Didn't you say you wanted to reset me? I'm waiting here, you bastard!]

Tianming: “…”

Although Tianming was very angry, he also knew that Shen Junze was deliberately provoking him.

He is a useless person now, there is no need for him to bother with a useless person.

He was strangled by that damn system and needed to rest now.

Tianming had a gloomy face. He opened the system page and found a target nearby.

Shen Junze frowned as he looked at the words "Song Li" written on the page.

[Shen Junze: What are you up to? Where are you going?]

Tian Ming snorted coldly, "Of course I'm going to find Song Li. She saved you and has feelings for you. More importantly, she's the woman that the Eighth Prince Xiao Lingzhou likes."

That little brat named Xiao Yunwan made him so miserable. Since he couldn't kill her, he could only start with the people around her!

A black mist spread, and Tianming's originally tall, inhuman body had turned into the appearance of Shen Junze.

“Dongdong——”

Song Li was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.

She turned over in annoyance and pulled the quilt over her head.

After a while, the knocking on the door continued without stopping.

She kicked the quilt away, fluttered up and sat up from the bed, with a messy head of hair, and got out of bed with a resentful look on her face.

"Damn it, you better wake me up if something serious happens, otherwise I'll kill you if you disturb my beauty sleep!"

Song Li angrily left the room and walked to the yard. The knocking on the door continued. She said irritably, "Alright, stop knocking! Can't you let me sleep at night?"

As soon as Song Li opened the door, the figure at the door suddenly fell towards her. She didn't pay attention for a moment and was hit in the chest.

Seeing that the figure seemed to be a man, Song Li exploded immediately. She pushed with both hands and said angrily: "What are you doing? Don't you know that it's not right for men and women to touch each other?"

Tianming seemed to have not expected that she would suddenly reach out and push him away. He staggered and was almost pushed to the ground by her.

"It's me." He said in a low voice.

Song Li was about to ask who he was when she suddenly felt his voice sounded familiar.

Song Li rubbed her eyes. She didn't turn on the light in her hurry to come out, but from the moonlight pouring into the yard, she could vaguely see the face of the man in front of her.

She knew at a glance that he was the male lead, Shen Junze.

"Chen..." Song Li almost uttered the word Jun Ze, but fortunately she stopped herself in time and said, "Mr. Chen?"

"Yeah." Tianming responded lightly.

The next second, a light suddenly came on in the side room on the other side of the yard.

"Ali, who is this?" Song's father stood at the door in his outer robe and began to ask Song Li, who was standing at the door not far away: "Ali, who is here so late?"

Song Li turned around and quickly replied: "Dad, I'm here to get the medicine. It's okay, you go back to sleep, I'll get it for him."

"Why do you come to get medicine so late at night? Can't you come during the day? You're disturbing my sleep." Father Song muttered and turned back to the house.

Seeing Song's father return to his room and turn off the lights, Song Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the male protagonist Shen Junze standing in front of her, and then whispered to him, "Follow me."

Song Li was a little confused as to whether she had confused the text or not. She remembered that in the original text, Song Li had only met the male protagonist Shen Junze twice.

The first time was when the male protagonist Shen Junze was seriously injured and Song Li saved him.

The second time was when the male protagonist Shen Junze became emperor. He reunited with Song Li while on a secret visit, and then brought Song Li back to the palace and lived a rich life.

But at this point in time, the male protagonist should not have broken through the obstacles and ascended the throne to become emperor. How could he appear at her doorstep?

Song Li's home is a medical clinic. In addition to the two rooms in the front yard, there is one for her and one for her father.

There are also several unoccupied guest rooms in the backyard.

So, Song Li placed Shen Junze in one of the guest rooms in the backyard.

"Mr. Chen, please sleep here tonight." The guest room was fully equipped with everything. Song Li took out a candle from the cabinet and lit it for him.

She didn't ask anything. After all, he was the male protagonist in the original text, so he must be working on his career.

Song Li didn't see any blood on him, and he didn't look seriously injured. After she had settled everything for him, she was about to leave when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.

She turned around and met Shen Junze's eyes, which were so affectionate that even he could look at a dog.

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong?" Song Li met his gaze. Under the dim candlelight, his face was incredibly handsome.

Song Li looked at his face and swallowed her saliva in a very cowardly manner. She had to say that he was indeed handsome, worthy of being the male lead.

Song Li was originally a little angry because her sweet dream was disturbed, but when she looked at the great face of the male protagonist Shen Junze, her temper disappeared a lot.

"Mr. Shen, is there anything else you need?" Song Li asked.
