Shen Ling's eyes darkened again—His Highness has been acting very strangely lately.
Strangely enough... he seems somewhat different from the original regent.

Gu Mu nodded calmly: "You were affected by the parchment scroll all night and you're feeling weak. You should rest well and not think about anything else."
Gu Mu didn't mention where the parchment scroll was.
Shen Ling didn't ask.
Gu Mu was simply too curious about this parchment scroll. This should be something the female protagonist obtained after her rebirth. Could such an evil object be the female protagonist's cheat code after her rebirth in this world?
But that shouldn't be the case. If it were a cheat system, Shen Ling shouldn't have been harmed like this by the parchment scroll.
However... this sentient parchment is very special. Gu Mu wants to study its uses, so he has no intention of returning it to Chen Ling.
