"There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to get what you want, you always have to make some sacrifices, don't you think?" the system continued.
A few seconds later, Shen Yu'nan asked again, "What exactly do I need to do?"
"Make your master fall in love with you, unable to leave you. Then, you can leave this cold body and get what you want, while she can only love you but never have you..." The system chuckled, but its mechanical, cold voice was strangely eerie. "Don't you find that satisfying? Of course, the premise is that you can't lose your own heart to feel that way."
'....' Shen Yunan fell into deep thought.
He wanted to say something more, but then he hesitated and stopped himself.
Because he had no right to choose, whether it was three years ago or three years later.
'What will happen to my own body during this time?'
'Please rest assured, we will take good care of your body until you complete your mission.'
His own health remains the only thing that Shen Yu Nan is worried about right now.
Pei Wu's hand, which was being held by Shen Yu Nan, twitched slightly. Then she slowly opened her eyes. The room was dim, and for a moment she couldn't see the face of the person in front of her clearly. She could only feel the warmth and dampness from his hand.
The familiar touch and the blurry outline told her it was the humanoid robot, but she didn't know its name yet.
"Turn on the lights." As Pei Wu's voice fell, the lights in the room turned on. Because it was nighttime, the default light to be turned on at this time was the soft, warm orange chandelier.
The moment the lights came on, Pei Wu recognized the person in front of her as the humanoid robot.
The sudden light made Shen Yunan squint.
He felt that his current identity was like the light that had been turned on, at best he could only be considered... a decorative item given to the Pei family's young lady by someone else. Thinking of this, Shen Yu Nan felt inexplicably relieved.
The system's words made him realize that since he could get his revenge for the three years of humiliation and the blame would not fall on him, why shouldn't he do it?
Is your device fully charged?
Pei Wu asked Shen Yunan. Pei Wu, who had just woken up, had a heavy nasal voice. When Shen Yunan heard Pei Wu's voice, he suddenly withdrew his hand.
"Sit down." Pei Wu clearly didn't pay attention to Shen Yunan's actions. She simply patted the edge of the bed, gesturing for him to sit down.
Pei Wu's actions made Shen Yu Nan's eyelids twitch, and some unpleasant images flashed through his mind.
Since the system was set to not disobey the master's orders, Shen Yu'nan could only sit down by the bed.
Pei Wu sat up, her pajamas neatly arranged and perfectly appropriate. She simply asked, "Could you tell me your name? It'll make communication easier."
Shen Yu'nan stared at Pei Wu in front of him, slightly lost in thought.
The only son of the Pei family, the eldest daughter of the Pei family, is known for her exceptionally beautiful appearance, and even her daily attire and demeanor perfectly match her looks.
However, this was the first time Shen Yu Nan had seen Pei Wu wearing such formal and conservative pajamas, and even her overall demeanor seemed different from before.
"Perfect One" is my name.
Only then did Shen Yu Nan look up and meet Pei Wu's gaze.
Shen Yu'nan's eyes were red from her conversation with the system, and her beautiful eyes were flushed with emotion.
A few clearly visible red veins were still visible in the pale red dress. She was only wearing an ordinary white T-shirt, yet she inexplicably exuded a fragility as if she had been severely bullied.
“You should name me.” Shen Yu’nan lowered his eyes again, seemingly uncomfortable with eye contact with Pei Wu.
Are you sure you want me to pick it up?
"Um."
“…” Pei Wu looked Shen Yu Nan up and down carefully. “Then I need to think about it seriously. I’ve had someone clean up the room next door for you. It’s getting late, go and get some rest.”
When Shen Yunan heard Pei Wu's order to leave, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he still replied, "Yes."

Shen Yu Nan, who is currently using a robot body, does not need to sleep.
Shen Yu Nan felt that he understood Pei Wu quite well, whether it was because of his three years as her secretary or the robot he was currently in, it was all because of this face that resembled Pei Wu's Bai Yue Guang Gu Yan Yu.
Since the system required him to make Pei Wu fall in love with him, the face he possessed was especially important, and over the past three years he had made a lot of effort to learn about this Gu Yanyu.
Gu Yanyu, the young master of the Gu family, was a well-known gentleman and talented man in high society. He had already married Miss Xu two years ago. However, Gu Yanyu's good reputation, which he had cultivated for many years, was ruined on their wedding night.
On her wedding night, during the bridal chamber, the young Miss Xu, in the prime of her life, lost her life due to drunk driving and speeding. Not only did Miss Xu lose her life, but she also injured three pedestrians on the road. Fortunately, it was late at night when there were relatively few people around; if it had happened during the day, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The Xu family, which was already under the spotlight because of their wedding of the century, almost instantly became a trending topic after this incident. Netizens criticized the Xu family's daughter for not only courting disaster herself, but also for dragging innocent people into the mess and deserving public condemnation. Many netizens even joined together to boycott any products under the Xu family's name.
The Xu family was once a leader in the electronics industry. However, they were caught off guard by the sudden attack. Even the mother of Miss Xu committed suicide after losing her daughter in middle age and then facing the company's financial difficulties. Currently, the Xu family has to rely on Miss Xu's elderly grandmother to manage the company's affairs.
In just three years, the Xu family has fallen so low that anyone can make fun of them at the dinner table.
The Xu family, having lost their eldest daughter on their wedding night, has suffered an unprecedented setback in their business, driving the family head to suicide. With all this, which member of the Xu family wouldn't curse Gu Yanyu for being so unlucky as to have killed his wife and mother-in-law, and even dragged down his father-in-law's business? The Xu family was originally a thriving business, one that even the Pei family couldn't match.
Shen Yunan, who had served as Pei Wu's secretary for three years, naturally knew about these past events, especially since the online buzz surrounding them had lasted for quite some time.
Shen Yu'nan seemed to dislike having the lights on; he sat in his dark bedroom, lost in thought.
'To win Pei Wu's heart, one must naturally use this similar face to do the things the young master of the Gu family would do.'
However, at this moment he desperately wanted to get his own phone, which belonged to Shen Yu Nan.
