Miss W opened her eyes in the darkness.
...It was like this again, the unrecognizable darkness.
There was nothing in this place called [Eternal Life Society]. Even if I opened my eyes, even if I turned my head to the conceptual "left" or "right"——
She couldn't see anything.
-2-
The eyelids cannot sense the existence of "light", and the ears cannot hear the movement of "sound".
...pure, ultimate, unadulterated darkness.
Miss W has been staying here since she was forcibly awakened from her deathly sleep.
She was not a complete undead, and had never received energy from the main system, so she did not feel thirsty or hungry - but this did not help her at all, and instead stretched and blurred her concept of space.
Miss W couldn't tell where she was.
If she could clearly state her exact location, rather than swallowing her anger and making a deal with some incredibly annoying person, it would be better to simply send him the coordinates and let the main system intervene and apply the world's rules to end everything here. Pulling the soul back to reality against its will would undoubtedly be against the rules, and as a former system employee, the main system had every reason and obligation to step in and protect her rights.
if.
If she could resolve her current predicament through official channels, Ms. W would never condescend to contact her "enemy".
-3-
But there are no ifs.
She couldn't figure out where she was, she couldn't figure out who was targeting her, she couldn't even figure out what was happening to her -
To be honest, Miss W couldn't even say for sure that she was in the Eternal Life Society.
——Maybe it’s a pitch-black cage, maybe it’s a lightless square box, who knows?
This place is like a prison.
A silent, pure, unadulterated prison.

Only, occasionally, there were some small noises in my ears, and then a piece of white paper was handed to me.
The note would have coordinates or locations written on it, informing her that she must attend an event within the Eternal Life Society or a high-level meeting of the Eternal Life Society.
So she took the note, and after several chaotic flashes of light, she appeared in a well-equipped hotel room - with cosmetics, a dress, matching shoes and a backpack - she dressed herself there, opened the door again, and stepped into an event held inside the Eternal Life Society.
Miss W followed the note and dressed up for the event with a gentle smile, looking like the perfect vase in the corner.
-5-
She did not go crazy because of the excessive silence when she was alone, nor did she feel any affinity for the Eternal Life Society because the only undead she could see besides darkness.
Miss W was very clear that this was an extremely evil organization, just as she was very clear that she married the gold shop owner just to wait for him to die early and inherit his inheritance.
Compared to Miss M, who always emphasizes her disgust towards the opposite sex, Miss W's attitude towards the opposite sex is much more ambiguous and harmonious. She is good at using them, but while using them, she will also please them and tolerate them. She was even an extremely virtuous wife when facing her "husband".
There is no way around it. After all, Miss W grew up in that era and environment, and playing both sides was her way of survival.
[Pleasing men] is almost common sense that she has been learning since she was a child. Only if she gets high scores in this course can she have food to eat at night.
-6-
Therefore, compared with the knife point or abandonment given by M, the smile and care given by W to the opposite sex are really too gentle.
Therefore, W's suitors were once as numerous as crucian carp swimming in the river.
W is a woman who can maximize the use of her "gentleness". In the constant compromise and trade-offs, she has indeed found many opportunities. Miss W has a very thorough understanding of love and romance. She can see the true nature of many men at a glance, and of course, she can also see the feelings they have for her.
It wasn't that she didn't believe in love. She believed in love in all its forms. She had seen many people truly love her.
She could even see that her ex-husband had more or less some "pity" for her.
-7-
That greedy and cowardly businessman never dared to express his feelings for her throughout his entire life.
Miss W knew that he was a little "admiring" her.
He never mentioned it, so she pretended not to notice.
-8-
Why?
Because that is their own choice.
Miss W is very grateful for the kindness of these people. Whether she confesses it or keeps it in her heart, she does not object to their admiration, and she is willing to believe that it is their true love.
But in the end, Miss W did not choose any relationship - it was not that she could not have a relationship that lasted a lifetime. Miss W had the means and wisdom to do so, was extremely confident in her judgment of people, and had the perseverance to maintain a relationship for a long time -
She just found out after careful weighing, compromising and calculation that it was not worth it.
-9-
She needs to devote all her energy, be meticulous, observe and seduce the other person day and night to ensure that she can maintain a lifelong and completely sincere relationship.
Of course, many people may say that "a lifelong, absolutely sincere relationship" is something that millions of people cannot desire.
——But who is worthy of her careful planning and scheming?
Superficial love cannot afford such energy.
-10-
Also, don’t forget that even smiling takes energy.
-11-
Therefore, if an "absolutely sincere" relationship requires an "absolutely sincere" admiration as its initial motivation...
After repeated consideration, Ms. W simply gave up trying to manage the relationship.
After all, "love" is something that is good to have, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it.
What she wanted was family, a home, and the ability to raise children. Rather than trying to find an unattainable stranger who would completely captivate her, she should stay grounded, define her goals, and find reliable financial support based on the number of children she wanted to raise.
Miss W is not afraid of falling in love. She is just very clear-headed and thinks that there are things she wants more in her life plan than falling in love.
-12-
Therefore, she does not want things that she cannot afford, she does not covet things that are expensive, and she does not desire rare and sincere things.
She only takes what she needs.
This invaluable [self-awareness] had saved her life more than once in that city.
-13-
...So, perhaps, it was Miss W's precious [self-awareness] that allowed her to maintain her calm thinking ability in the boundless darkness of the [Eternal Life Society].
Perhaps, this was the reason why she hated the blond-haired, blue-eyed guy so much.
-14-
A sober and rational person does not need to come into contact with another more sober but crazy person.
-15-
And, come on, Mr. President.
They locked her up in an extremely dark place, then let her out from time to time to let her interact with the guys in the organization, and then drove her back into the darkness after that.
They treated her like a prisoner who was being let out for some fresh air.
Will the prisoners be grateful to the guards who let them out of the cage regularly? No, the prisoners will never be grateful to them. The prisoners will only be eager to hold the metal fragments they have picked up from the foot of the bed, waiting for an opportunity to slash the guards' necks.
After countless attempts to gather information and understand the general structure of the Eternal Life Association's upper echelons, but still failing to uncover any information about the [Eternal Life Association's President]—
Miss W became even more restless.
-16-
During this period of confinement, she had never seen the face of the "President" nor heard his voice.
But Miss W knew naturally that it was a man——
-17-
She was too familiar with how to deal with men. Since she could see at a glance the complex feelings a man had for her, and against the malice a man harbored towards her, Miss W almost had a beast-like intuition.
——[President], this guy asked her to dress up and attend almost every important occasion in the Eternal Life Society, but he looked down on her and placed her in an inconspicuous corner.
It was as if he just needed her [this face] to appear in the Eternal Life Society.
...There was no doubt that he was a man who was full of malice towards her and treated her as some kind of object of appreciation, a substitute.
-18-
The question is, whose replacement?
-19-
Miss W touched her face silently in the dark.
…She could get the answer without a mirror.
Who else will she be considered a substitute for...
hehe.
This is really novel.
-20-
"Although I love my little sister very much, I know her very well..."
Such a character, such a reckless attitude.
It has always been the younger sister who has been treated as a substitute by men, but this time, is it the other way around?
——Even though there were no living creatures spying in the space, Miss W still curled up the corners of her mouth coldly and made a mocking "tsk" sound.
“That’s disgusting.”
-twenty one-
No matter if he once treated his sister as a substitute, or still treats her as a substitute now.
It was an insult to her—a blatant humiliation to each of the two sisters.
These men... no, is the [President] really human... these, smelly male animals.
-twenty two-
"...I can't stand it. When can I sleep again..."
So Miss W would rather stay in that virtual thinking space, even if it means she has to meet another extremely annoying guy often.
Yes, even though she was extremely reluctant, she should go again.
Go again and inform the vicious dog that there is a piece of trash worse than pigs and dogs in the Eternal Life Society, who is spying on her dearest sister by looking for a "substitute".
-twenty three-
Just when Miss W was about to close her eyes—it was too dark around her and she really couldn't tell when she had truly closed her eyes—she heard some faint noises in her ears.
It was a slip of paper that was handed in.
White, glowing in the dark.
As always, there were a few words written on the note.
...What is that disgusting president trying to do again?
Miss W looked over impatiently, but the next second, her eyes froze, and her face showed the same expression as that of Mr. P who was watching the surveillance records in the system world.
-twenty four-
Your sister's "happiness" is delicious.
As always, thank you for your hospitality.
