The moment Xiang Wan saw Nangong Yu, she felt a surge of anger. This man was too good at currying favor with Liu's parents, and then using his smooth talk to amuse Xiang Wan. He was incredibly adept at it.
Three years have passed, and Xiang Wan has long since left the Nangong family. When her parents learned of her divorce from Nangong Chen, they shook their heads and sighed, but still supported her decision. The elderly couple funded the purchase of a shop for her in the city, where she opened a calligraphy and painting shop, specializing in selling paints, brushes, and other items related to traditional Chinese painting. The design style was mainly simple and elegant. Xiang Wan often painted some pictures to hang on the walls as decoration. Unexpectedly, one day a famous traditional Chinese painter saw her work and recommended her to a well-known calligraphy and painting society in China. She had some experience painting landscapes and figures, and frequently exhibited her work. Gradually, she gained some small fame, and the appreciation of her paintings solved part of her income problem.
One day, Nangong Yu walked into her small shop and bought all her paintings at a high price. Xiang Wan didn't know what he wanted to do and initially refused to sell them. It wasn't until he said that the reason the Nangong family hadn't caused her any trouble was because he, Nangong Yu, had helped her cover it up behind the scenes, and that she didn't need to thank him, as long as she let him see her new works first.
Xiang Wan cherished her peaceful life; she didn't need revenge or acting, so she acquiesced to Nangong Yu's decision. Unexpectedly, Nangong Yu took advantage of the situation, visiting her even more frequently, leading to all the events described above.
She once asked Xiaoqi if there was a place for her to rest outside of the mission world, and the answer was, of course, no. Finally, Xiaoqi added, "Future missions won't be this easy, so enjoy yourself as much as you can while you can."
Xiang Wan didn't know if Xiao Qi was exaggerating, but she really wanted to rest, so she simply put aside her distractions and focused on doing what she wanted to do.
Liu's parents were well taken care of by her. Although they sometimes had disagreements because of Liu Zixi, this was the best possible outcome.
Liu Zixi had returned to visit the elderly couple and also met Xiang Wan, but he no longer possessed the vigor of a young man; instead, he was filled with vicissitudes and indifference.
Occasionally, Xiang Wan would see a man who looked like Nangong Chen outside the shop, except that the man wore sunglasses, had dyed hair, and would leave in a hurry after seeing Xiang Wan.
The original owner's obsession gradually faded after seeing Liu Zixi and the person who resembled Nangong Chen time and time again. Xiang Wan could no longer feel any additional emotions, indicating that she had completed her mission in a way that pleased the original owner.
As long as Liu Zixi and Nangong Chen are not together and their lives are far worse than before, the original owner's wish has been fulfilled. In this life, the ultimate revenge against these two men is to make them live, fall from grace, lose what they gained, and suffer heartache and regret every time they think about it, enduring both psychological and physical torment.
Some things were brought to them by the evening, but more were their own choices. Whether they were liberated or suffered, it was all fate's doing, and they could not blame anyone else.
The most troublesome thing right now is how to get rid of Nangong Yu's harassment. His parents have long since given in to his relentless daily pestering, but Xiang Wan doesn't want that. Left with no other choice, she has to ask Xiao Qi for help.
"Xiao Qi, what should we do now?"
"Now you know to come and ask this system? Why didn't you do this earlier?"
"It's not because Xiaoqi is the greatest system. Why would I bother you with trivial matters? Only important matters deserve the wise and mighty 007 to handle!"
Xiang Wan's relentless praise for 007 stemmed from her own laziness; if 007 could resolve the issue in an instant, she could also take a longer rest.
"Yes, you're right, continue!"
"Ah? The big thing is Nangong Yu..."
“You can repeat the sentence before ‘little thing’ a few more times.”
"Great Xiao Qi, wise and powerful system, can you help me solve Nangong Yu's problem? Please."
"That's acceptable."
Upon hearing that there was a chance, Xiang Wan excitedly jumped out of bed.
"Really? How do we solve this?"
"Just hide so he can't find you, right?"
"If it were that simple, would I need to contact you?"
Are you stupid?
"Um?"
"With him around, Liu Zixi and Nangong Chen will never be able to turn their lives around. You have to keep Nangong Yu firmly in your grasp to complete your mission."
"But I didn't sense that the original owner had any other wishes?"
"Oh my god, I'm so stupid. Who was Liu Xiangwan most worried about after she passed away? Her parents. In this life, you have to make sure her parents live a peaceful and happy life until they grow old, and you also have to make sure that Liu Zixi and Nangong Chen can never turn their lives around before you can consider your mission complete."
"...Is there still so much time?"
"You should be content. Everything you're about to enjoy is for you. What's wrong with that?"
But I…
"Your dear husband, right? In the mission world, you're using someone else's body. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you."
"But I... can't get over this mental hurdle. Even if it's someone else's body, I don't want to use it to have a relationship with anyone other than my husband."
"You really defeat me. Then just refuse, and pray that Nangong Yu won't keep bothering you, and pray that he will keep helping you."
Xiang Wan smiled bitterly, realizing that asking 007 was even more upsetting than not asking at all.
Nangong Yu was determined to change the Nangong family. He had been lying low for so many years, finally achieving his goal. Now his target was her, and if she continued to delay, who knew what might happen in the future.
"Sigh, being too attractive is a problem too!"
