"Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll take you out of the palace to play."
Gu Qimu wrapped his arms around Shen Ye from behind, resting his chin on Shen Ye's shoulder, his voice gentle as water.
"Didn't you ever doubt me?" Shen Ye turned around, her peach blossom eyes staring straight at Gu Qimu, as if trying to find something in his eyes.
"Do you suspect that I pushed Consort Yu into the water? Or do you suspect something else?" Such a casual remark, spoken with such nonchalance and indifference.
"Forget it, it's all my fault for being careless and arrogant, and falling into this woman's trap."
"Alright, alright, everything's fine now, isn't it? I've suppressed the rumors, and no one will dare to talk about it anymore." Gu Qimu pinched Shen Ye's cheeks with both hands. "Come on, smile."
All Gu Qimu could do was suppress the rumors, because there was nothing to investigate. Yu Niannian had planned everything almost perfectly, leaving no room for error.
Leaning against Gu Qimu's chest, Shen Ye closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep when the system's voice rang in his mind.
'Host, the Villain System, capable of committing countless evil deeds, has been randomly sent to increase the difficulty for you, and the body it has chosen happens to be Yu Niannian.'
"No wonder, I knew it. How could Yu Niannian, such a stupid woman, suddenly become so smart? It turns out that there is a big bad system helping her."
'This system is awful, host, you must be careful not to get killed by it.'
Shen Ye: "How powerful? More powerful than you?"
He learned from the system that he wasn't the only one with a rebirth strategy. Every reborn person, upon reaching this stage, would randomly encounter a villainous system that committed all sorts of evil deeds, increasing the difficulty of the mission. It could only be said that Shen Ye was unlucky; this wicked system just happened to fall into his hands.
Although a bad system arrived, the main system also changed its usual approach and opened an item shop for Shen Ye, with corresponding rewards and punishments for each win or loss against the villain.
In summary, the arrival of this villainous system has both advantages and disadvantages for Shen Ye.
"You're acting all high and mighty now, but why didn't you help me when I was being bullied so badly?"
Shen Ye found it amusing; this main system wasn't any better, it was quite wicked too.
"I couldn't help you before; I needed to help you grow. Otherwise, you'd always be as weak as a chick, unable to carry a Bronze player like myself, a King."
The system spoke with such confidence, as if the suffering Shen Ye had endured before was all justified.
"Come on, it's just because I'm easy to bully and have no powerful backing."
From the day he died suddenly, he was all alone in this world except for the system.
But thankfully, in this bizarre and wonderful world, there are all sorts of people, so he doesn't feel too lonely.
"I will never bully you again."
A familiar male voice rang in my ears; it was very magnetic and had a captivating, mesmerizing power.
Shen Ye's breath hitched; he had just heard what she said.
Looking up, he saw Gu Qimu's clear eyes staring at him. He suddenly smiled, his eyes narrowing. "If you bully me again, you're a turtle bastard."
Gu Qimu curved his lips into a smile, which was full of endless charm. "Okay, if you bully my darling again, I'll be a turtle."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qimu lifted Shen Ye's chin with his hand, and then his thin lips kissed her.
Shen Ye thought the kiss would be gentle, at least Gu Qimu had just kissed her.
But he was wrong!
The moment the two met, it was like dry tinder meeting a raging fire...
