“Your Highness, you said it…” Gu Mu heard Shen Ling say softly in the dark room.
By this time, Gu Mu had grown accustomed to the darkness, and he could see a few teardrops clinging to Shen Ling's eyelashes.
Shen Ling's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said in an almost frantic tone, "Your Highness... if you dare to deceive me..."
"I will not let this go so easily..."
Shen Ling's eyes gradually darkened.
She curled her lips into a...exquisitely beautiful smile with a hint of wickedness.
At that very moment,
Gu Mu heard the system beep.
A cold, mechanical voice said in his mind: [This female-oriented novel is beginning to deviate from the main plot.]
[Original main storyline: The female protagonist is reborn and returns to take revenge on the villain]
[A new main storyline is underway...]
[The new main storyline is as follows: The female protagonist is reborn and returns to seek revenge on the villain. She discovers that this villain is not the same as the one she knew, and the two develop feelings for each other, leading to a love-hate relationship.]
[Female lead's current status: Romanceable]
[Important Note: Don't let the female lead discover your flirting, or the consequences will be severe (the severity of the consequences is directly proportional to how much the female lead likes you)]
[Since the host has successfully advanced from "Major Villain" to "Major Villain/Male Protagonist Candidate" in this story, the system tasks have been optimized and upgraded in order to help the host stand out from the other candidates.]
[To test the effectiveness, the first system task after the optimization and upgrade is released.]
[Task: Make the female lead happy. Task Reward: Male Lead Value +1. (When your Male Lead Value is far ahead, you will become the male lead of this story.)]
Gu Mu saw through the system's little scheme at a glance. When his role was defined as "the biggest villain in this world", the system's rewards were incredibly generous in order to help the female lead achieve her goal.
It was all so that he could quickly possess everything, and then be tortured to death by the female lead.
But by a twist of fate, Gu Mu inadvertently changed the main plot, allowing him to possess everything, which then vanished in an instant, no longer being the female lead's goal.
Therefore, the system's current task rewards are very stingy, only giving the male protagonist a little bit of points.
There wasn't even a useful reward item.
Well... it really makes me lose the motivation to finish it...
[When the host is successfully selected as the male lead from among the male lead candidates, he will receive the "Golden Finger Pen," which allows him to add dozens of words to this female-oriented novel, provided it does not contradict the overall logic of the story.]
Perhaps anticipating that the host would find it difficult to go from luxury to frugality, the system quickly rewarded him with becoming the male lead.
A cheat code? Adding dozens of words to this female-oriented novel?
This is a great product!
It's important to understand that a few dozen words can have a significant impact on the characters in a book.
A few words can bring a person to life, or a few words can kill a person.
However, Gu Mu did not stop calculating. He planned that if he got the "golden finger pen", he would only need to add a dozen words to the beginning of the introduction: "This is a male-oriented novel, and the protagonist (male) has entered the wrong channel".
Wouldn't that allow him to realize his grand plan of frequency switching?
He no longer needs to use his "golden touch" to seek other rewards for himself. As long as he changes the female-oriented novel into a male-oriented novel and becomes the protagonist of this male-oriented novel, he refuses to believe that fate will not favor him.
He agreed to the deal.
But right now, Shen Ling had just cried, her eyes were red, and she looked very depressed.
Moreover, many times, although Shen Ling was smiling, she wasn't really happy inside.
Just like those who suffer from smiling depression, they never show their sadness or distress on the surface, and to outsiders, they are no different from normal people.
But only they themselves know how unhappy they are.
Making Shen Ling happy seems simple, but it's not so easy to achieve.
Of course... I just don't know if my body is happy, and my heart will be happy too...?
Since Shen Ling isn't a child who can be easily appeased with a piece of candy, Gu Mu decides to solve the problem using the methods adults use.
He scooped Shen Ling up in his arms and was about to place her on the bed in the study when...
He saw Shen Ling calmly looking at him, seemingly guessing what Gu Mu was thinking, and asked in a tone that was both expectant and somewhat mocking: "When I was little, my master was afraid that I would be bullied, so he planted a Gu in my body..."
"If I have intercourse with someone, that Gu will burrow into their body..."
"From this day forward, we shall live and die together. Moreover, if the two of us are separated by too great a distance, we must return to each other within a certain time limit; otherwise, we will both die..."
"Most importantly... if either of the two betrays the other, they will die instantly from the Gu worms..."
"Your Highness... have you thought it through... that you want to be bound to me for the rest of your life?"
Gu Mu thought about it and realized that these conditions weren't so unacceptable. After all, Shen Ling was his principal wife, and he couldn't possibly never touch her for the rest of his life.
Moreover, there may be a way to break this kind of Gu worm.
Thinking this, Gu Mu continued to carry Shen Ling towards the bed.
Unexpectedly, in an instant, countless venomous insects appeared under Gu Mu's feet, and countless more crawled up his shoes and onto his clothes.
His hands, which were holding Shen Ling, were instantly covered with poisonous insects. The insects bit through Gu Mu's skin and numbed his nerves. For a moment, Gu Mu felt as if he had lost all feeling in his body.
Although he could mentally exchange points for an antidote to neutralize the poison.
But it's still 30 points.
Moreover, subconsciously, Gu Mu felt that Shen Ling only wanted to scare him and did not really want to hurt him.
Therefore, Gu Mu did not make the move to exchange 30 points for the antidote pill.
Instead, he stood like a sculpture, holding Shen Ling horizontally in his arms, standing still.
After releasing poisonous insects that rendered Gu Mu immobile, Shen Ling jumped off Gu Mu's body.
A smile appeared on her face: "Your Highness, you are willing, but I am not..."
"Your Majesty, I haven't decided yet whether I want to be bound to you for life..."
"Your Highness, I only wanted to conquer you, but I never thought about spending my whole life with you..."
"..." Unable to move, Gu Mu remained speechless, his hands still outstretched.
He never expected that Shen Ling would be such a scumbag.
We were really careless.
How is this any different from what those female playboys say, "She's just sweet-talking, she doesn't have feelings for you"?
They probably sensed the resentful expression on Gu Mu's face.
Shen Ling patted Gu Mu's face with her hand, then leaned in and pressed her face against Gu Mu's: "Kiss."
She lightly kissed Gu Mu on the cheek, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Then she pinched Gu Mu's cheek: "Your Highness, from now on, you belong to me~"
