Hearing System 0573 solemnly make its promise, Lin Wanfu showed no outward reaction, but inwardly she was deeply dissatisfied.
She never trusted promises—she only believed in tangible benefits that fell into her own hands.
“0573, other systems give their hosts beauty-enhancing pills, slimming pills, whitening pills, all kinds of powerful golden fingers… but I have nothing…”
Lin Wanfu blinked her large, watery eyes coquettishly, putting on a pitiful expression. Her voice was already soft and sweet, but now she deliberately softened it further, dragging out the final syllables until it became cloyingly sweet.
Even System 0573, which lacked human emotions, was momentarily captivated by Lin Wanfu’s coquettish act for a full five seconds. Its system processes became disordered, nearly crashing.
After a long pause, System 0573 replied bluntly: 【Host, your beauty stat is already maxed out. You don’t need those things to enhance your appearance.】
This wasn’t a lie—it was the truth.
When it had run low on energy and drifted into this minor world, its first glimpse of Lin Wanfu had captivated it.
She was simply too beautiful—so beautiful she hardly seemed like a native of a minor world.
“What’s the use of just having beauty? That will only make Shen Congyan more beastly. Since I’m doomed either way, I might as well buy a bottle of sleeping pills tomorrow and at least die with dignity. No matter how depraved Shen Congyan is, he surely wouldn’t… violate a corpse, right?”
By the end, Lin Wanfu sounded uncertain again, because Shen Congyan might actually be capable of such perverse acts.
She wouldn’t underestimate the destructive power of her own beauty, nor would she overestimate Shen Congyan’s moral bottom line.
He was a thoroughgoing madman.
System 0573 remained silent for a long time before finally telling Lin Wanfu: 【Host, you don’t need to be so pessimistic. I’ve already activated the automatic identity recognition function for you as an extra benefit. Whenever a high-quality target appears within ten meters of you, it can identify their personal information and interests.】
It was already low on energy, and activating this function for Lin Wanfu had nearly depleted all its remaining power.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Wanfu’s face—she never hesitated to offer sweet words that cost her nothing.
“0573, you’re so good to me. I really like you. I’ll definitely listen to you and complete the tasks properly, making everyone around Shen Congyan fall in love with me.”
Although the automatic identity recognition function wasn’t entirely satisfactory, it was better than nothing.
Moreover, this function could prove quite useful, making her seduction efforts twice as effective with half the effort.
System 0573 replied shyly: 【Yes, host. Once you complete the tasks, I’ll have energy to give you better rewards. Whatever you want, I can satisfy you.】
Its CPU seemed about to overheat—Lin Wanfu had managed to dizzy it with just a single sentence.
Hearing there were even better rewards, Lin Wanfu immediately grew more interested. “I have another question: what exactly counts as successfully plundering someone’s affection?”
If she had to actually enter a relationship to complete the tasks, she would need to plan carefully.
After all, trying to hook up with people around Shen Congyan without him noticing wouldn’t be easy.
【Host, there’s no specific standard for plundering affection. As long as you establish emotional bonds or physical contact with high-quality males connected to the male lead, I can gain energy.】Every time System 0573 took another look at the “Love Plunder” system’s database, it felt its spirit was being severely contaminated once more. That such a system could hold a legitimate position within the Main God’s space was nothing short of a miracle.
Originally, by fully merging with the “Love Plunder” system’s database, it could obtain its legitimate credentials and better conceal its identity, but it genuinely found it repulsive.
Moreover, it was still hoping that once its host completed enough tasks and accumulated sufficient energy, it could then modify the system’s mission program.
If it fully merged with the “Love Plunder” system’s database, it would no longer be able to alter the missions—that was absolutely unacceptable.
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Wanfu immediately thought of a ready-made tool person around her who could help accomplish her tasks.
If even partners and rivals were targets recommended by the system to hook up with, wouldn’t Shen Congyan’s older brother be even more suitable?
Thinking it, she acted on it—Lin Wanfu had always been a woman of action. She walked to the bedside to search for her phone.
Once she found it and turned it on, sure enough, the screen was filled with missed call records from Shen Huaijin.
In the original plot, she had resented Shen Huaijin because of Shen Congyan and hadn’t even considered answering his calls.
Just as Lin Wanfu was about to make a call herself, her phone lit up with an incoming call notification.
It was Shen Huaijin.
As soon as she answered, Lin Wanfu heard the man’s urgent voice on the other end of the line.
“Fufu, I already know about the Lin family’s situation. Don’t be afraid, it’s going to be alright. I’ve applied for the fastest flight route and will be at your place by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.”
Shen Huaijin’s knuckles gripping the phone turned slightly white. Whatever he was thinking of, his expression was extremely grim, yet it did nothing to diminish his striking handsomeness.
The man’s features were naturally deep-set—high nose bridge, thin lips, cool pale skin—his demeanor restrained yet gentle. His shirt and suit trousers were impeccably neat, exuding an undeniable air of nobility.
From certain angles, he bore a strong resemblance to Shen Congyan, especially his narrow, elongated eyes hidden behind thin gold-rimmed glasses—they were practically identical to Shen Congyan’s.
If he stood beside Shen Congyan, anyone could tell at a glance that they were brothers.
Before long, Lin Wanfu began to sob softly, exaggerating the story to Shen Huaijin just as she used to.
“Ajin gege, Shen Congyan is back. To get back at me, he not only humiliated me in public but also threatened that if I didn’t serve him well, he’d send me to a nightclub and make me the lowest-ranking hostess.”
Hearing Lin Wanfu’s words, a vein pulsed faintly at Shen Huaijin’s temple, but he forcefully suppressed the rising anger in his heart, soothing her gently, “Fufu, be good, don’t cry. Wait for me to come back, I’ll definitely make him pay for this.”
He had spent a full three years, slowly and patiently, to make Lin Wanfu stop resisting him and gradually accept him.
And now Shen Congyan had returned like a haunting ghost.
This time, he wouldn’t let Shen Congyan take Lin Wanfu away from him again.
She could only be his.
“Alright, Ajin gege, I’ll wait for you to come back.”
After hanging up, Lin Wanfu slowly lowered her head, a faint, ambiguous smile curling at the corner of her mouth.
Shen Huaijin liked her—she had always known that—but she didn’t like him either.
It had to be said, Shen Huaijin and Shen Congyan truly were brothers. Not only were they alike in personality—both extremely controlling and obsessively stubborn—but they shared more than a few similarities.However, Shen Huaijin was even better at hiding his true nature than Shen Congyan and never showed it in front of her.
As for how she discovered Shen Huaijin’s two-faced personality, it all started back in her student days.
As the eldest daughter of the top-tier wealthy Lin family, she naturally attended an elite private school.
With her striking looks and privileged background, she received a flood of flowers, cakes, and love letters every day.
But suddenly, one day, it was as if she had become universally disliked at school. Everyone avoided her like the plague, not even daring to speak an extra word to her.
At first, she couldn’t understand why this was happening—until she accidentally discovered Shen Huaijin cornering a boy who had confessed his feelings to her in an alley, beating him until he was covered in blood.
In that moment, she realized she had been targeted by a seemingly rational mad dog.
