Chapter 2: The Night of Debauchery
Su Qianqian's consciousness floated in the pure white void.
There is no sound, no smell, no touch.
She subconsciously covered her chest, where she seemed to still feel the despairing colic from the onset of the disease.
For eighteen years, a full eighteen years, she spent her life in a hospital ward that smelled of disinfectant.
The sunshine and breeze outside the window are luxurious scenery for her.
She is beautiful, delicate, gentle and graceful, untainted by the world, but she has never truly lived.
Death came three days after his eighteenth birthday.
She lost her breath in her sleep, there was no pain, only darkness and relief.
Then, a somewhat childish voice calling itself "System" sounded in her consciousness, bringing her to this void.
The virtual screen just finished showing the bet.
At this moment, the scene after the bet continues to condense.
Vivid and colorful.
On the huge sofa, several men with powerful auras and elegant clothes sat casually like kings.
The young girl in cool clothes and delicate makeup was like a beautiful butterfly, snuggling beside them, smiling sweetly, her eyes full of flattery and temptation.
The air was filled with a mixture of indulgence, power and money.
And the man in the center is Gu Chengyu.
He casually sank into the sofa, a hot and beautiful girl in sexy clothes was trying to feed peeled grapes to his lips. He ate them with a smile, a look of condescending amusement in his eyes.
Then, he pulled the girl over and slid his fingers along her slender back.
Chen Que, who was standing next to her, directly hugged the beauty onto his lap. He couldn't wait to unbuckle his belt...
The image on the screen faded.
The system did not want the ensuing chaos to dirty the eyes of the host it had found with great difficulty.
"How do you feel, host?"
Su Qianqian frowned slightly, still feeling uncomfortable with the noise and turbidity of another world.
"It's so noisy and chaotic over there, and those people..."
She thought of the man sitting in the middle. The way he looked at women was like evaluating exquisite objects, with a cold amusement that made her instinctively feel repelled.
"That is the small world you are about to enter, host."
The system tried hard to suppress its babyish voice. It hadn't been bound yet so Qianqian wouldn't feel it was unstable.
It stated calmly and quietly, "A parallel world derived from a highly popular novel."
"And you will become one of them, gaining a brand new life and living healthily."
Live healthily.
These words stirred ripples in Su Qianqian's silent heart.
To live like a normal person was the wish she had prayed for countless times while lying on the hospital bed.
"The target person is Gu Chengyu."
The system brought up a clear image of Gu Chengyu, the cold, noble, arrogant and conceited prince.
"In the parallel world derived from the novel, he is the undisputed son of destiny."
"Born from the top chaebol Gu family, he is extremely capable and ruthless."
"In the future, he will firmly hold the position of the head of the No. 1 financial group and push the family business to unprecedented new heights."
The images switch, showing Gu Chengyu surrounded by beautiful women in different occasions: luxurious cocktail parties, private yachts, ambiguous private rooms...
"However, he was also a libertine who indulged in sensual pleasures."
"Surrounded by beautiful women, I treat relationships as a game."
"According to the original worldline, he would eventually marry a high-society socialite out of consideration for family status, but his nature remained unchanged after marriage, and he continued to indulge in extramarital affairs."
Su Qianqian looked at those scenes, and her watery almond eyes revealed uneasiness.
"The heroine of the original world, Lin Shu."
The image turned into a stunningly beautiful woman.
"She is a big star who is both cunning and resourceful."
"She was once Gu Chengyu's most favored canary, trying to cling to him and marry into a wealthy family, but ultimately failed due to her family background."
"However, she successfully left a mark in Gu Chengyu's heart and became his white moonlight."
"From then on, under his protection, my star journey will be bright."
The system paused, "The novel is set up like this. The male protagonist has been arrogant and conceited his entire life."
"But in reality, readers of the book were extremely dissatisfied with the ending."
"They are tired of the drama of the playboy always being cool and the arrogant never bowing their heads."
"What they long to see is: the prodigal son is completely conquered and willingly offers his true heart; the arrogant one bows his head for love and submits to it."
The image finally stopped at Gu Chengyu's arrogant and unruly face.
