Inside the luxurious villa.
“The juice is sweet.”
Under the shimmering light of the bathroom, the man’s Adam’s apple bobbed gently.
The young woman tilted her head back, her cheeks flushed pink, drenched in sweat.
The air was filled with the fragrance of peaches.
“Beep, beep—”
The countdown ended.
The man pressed the red button on the remote control, putting an end to this torment.
Qin Wanyin’s eyes still held a hint of crimson at the corners, but she calmly pulled out a contract.
“Mr. Lu, I’ve fulfilled your request. Can we sign the contract now?”
Lu Jianye’s gaze remained indifferent as he leisurely wiped his fingers, his forceful pen strokes landing on the contract.
Lu Jianye—his handwriting mirrored his personality.
Skeletal and aloof, with strokes that were both sharp and unconventional.
As the final stroke of the character “Ye” was completed, Qin Wanyin finally spoke the words she had held back all night.
“It’s just eating a peach. Why do you have to make it sound so suggestive?”
Qin Wanyin, a professional Sacrificial Shield.
She had died in place of protagonists across various worlds and had only recently retired.
At this very moment, she should have been sunbathing on a private beach, surrounded by a group of handsome male models, spending her endless retirement funds.
But the system had messed up her retirement world.
She had transmigrated into the novel Love Show Sweet Seduction! Three Bigshots Lightly Pamper, becoming the universally disliked, fragile female supporting character.
The female lead, Liu Yiyi, was the Celestial Purple Star of the entertainment industry.
Her catchphrase was: “I’m not as delicate as other girls.”
More famous than her works were her CP pairings.
She was often seen together with the CEO of Phoenix Song Entertainment, and the public widely regarded them as a couple, attracting a large number of CP fans.
On one occasion, paparazzi captured a disheveled woman knocking on the CEO’s door late at night.
The woman was exceptionally beautiful, with a delicate yet voluptuous figure, like a runaway heroine from Pornographic Literature, adding a touch of ambiguity to the photo.
The CP fans were furious.
【Who is this little bitch trying to seduce our brother! Homewreckers should die!】
And this woman was the original host.
The original host was a professionally trained actress, once highly regarded by mentors who believed she would become a rising star in the Chinese entertainment industry.
But due to the stigma of being labeled a homewrecker, she couldn’t land any roles and became the most hated person among netizens.
Ironically, the original host was the CEO’s legitimate fiancée.
Later, the original host and the female lead accidentally fell into the water. The fiancé rescued the female lead first and rushed her to the hospital, seemingly forgetting that his fiancée was still in the sea.
Heartbroken by this scene, the original host lost the will to live.
Qin Wanyin had inadvertently transmigrated into her body.
The system informed her that she could only reclaim her retirement funds by joining the reality show Love Worker and earning Reputation Points!
But participating in this show wasn’t that simple.
She had approached the director several times, and he grew annoyed, saying, “If you can get Lu Jianye to join, I’ll let you into the show.”
Lu Jianye, a household name and a Grand Slam-winning actor.
At the peak of his fame, he announced his retirement from acting to return home and take over the family business.
Since then, he had only appeared in financial magazines, politely declining any interviews from entertainment media.
Qin Wanyin spent several days finally meeting this renowned actor, Lu Jianye.
Faced with her invitation, his gaze remained cold. “If you can last an hour in a high-temperature sauna, I’ll agree to participate.”
It seemed like he was deliberately making things difficult for her, hoping she would back down.
Qin Wanyin hated the heat more than anything, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.
As for Lu Jianye—
Under the same scorching heat, he remained cool and composed, the cuffs of his suit shirt neatly fastened, as if he hadn’t even broken a sweat.
Only when eating the peach she bought did he utter three words, “So juicy.”
Harboring a mischievous desire to see the Highland Flower flustered and embarrassed, she deliberately twisted his words.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jianye picked up the contract and stood up.
“Miss Qin, I need to reconsider our collaboration.”
Qin Wanyin: Oops, I went too far.
A mechanical voice echoed in her mind.
[Host, the entire crew of the “Love Worker” show will board the plane and depart in an hour and a half. If you can’t secure a spot on the variety show, you won’t get the money or the compensation reward!]
Time was tight, and the task was urgent.
Qin Wanyin couldn’t wait any longer. “Mr. Lu, to be honest, I am actually Qin Shi Huang. I didn’t die. There’s gold worth billions in my mausoleum, and I need this contract to unfreeze it. Once I get the gold, I can grant you one wish!”
Lu Jianye looked at her coldly.
Qin Wanyin: …He actually doesn’t believe I’m Qin Shi Huang?
Then it could only be resolved by force.
“Forgive me,” she said, raising her hand and delivering a swift chop to the back of Lu Jianye’s neck.
To eliminate any future trouble, she carried him to the bedroom on the second floor.
On the black silk bedsheet, Lu Jianye’s clothes were disheveled, his narrow waist cinched, and his abdominal muscles clearly visible, creating an unexpected contrast with his beautiful face.
She didn’t linger on the sight. Resting her head on his slender, firm shoulder, she raised her phone and took a selfie.
In the photo, the man’s hand rested on the waist of the woman beside him, her slender and delicate waist seemingly small enough to be held in one hand, outlining an alluring curve.
The system gasped in shock.
[Host, are you planning to forge an intimate photo to threaten Lu Jianye? This is too criminal! Even Zhang San would call you an Outlaw Maverick!]
Qin Wanyin had no time to banter with the system. She covered him with a thin blanket and hurried to the airport.
As the door closed, the sleeping man opened his eyes, his gaze clear and alert.
Opening his palm, an exquisite handmade earring lay within.
But he had clenched it too tightly, and the earring’s pin had pierced his palm, filling the air with the metallic scent of blood.
As if he felt no pain, a faint smile appeared on his cool, detached face.
Crossing desolation, tearing through time and space.
He had finally found her.
.
At 11:30 a.m., Qin Wanyin arrived at the airport.
—”What are you doing here?”
As soon as she stepped into the airport, an irritated voice sounded from above.
Looking up, she saw a man dressed in a crisp suit.
His hair was short and dark, his features sharp and stern, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of his nose, exuding the commanding presence of a domineering CEO.
Qin Wanyin frowned.
Instinctively, she pressed a hand to her chest, where a faint, stabbing pain reminiscent of a blade piercing her heart resurfaced.
—In the Plane World, this man had been the protagonist, and Qin Wanyin had died shielding him from a knife.
Was this a similar appearance, or had he himself crossed into this world?
The man’s cold voice interrupted her thoughts.
“Qin Wanyin, I heard from Director Wang that you want to join this dating show. It seems it’s true.”
“My engagement to you was only to fulfill my grandfather’s wish. Don’t delude yourself—my heart belongs only to Yiyi.”
“You still haven’t apologized for pushing Yiyi last time. Even if she forgives you, I never will.”
With those three sentences, Qin Wanyin understood.
This man was not the protagonist she knew from the small world.
But it was the cheap fiancé of the original host.
Memories came flooding back.
The original host would help him write love letters to pursue the school beauty, would go to the bar in the early hours of the morning to pick him up when he was drunk.
Even knowing full well that he was just using her, she willingly became his fiancée to reassure his seriously ill grandfather.
Later, the playboy settled down.
But not for her.
Even she, the legitimate fiancée, became the mistress denounced by netizens.
After Qin Wanyin transmigrated, the first thing she wanted to do was clear the original host’s name.
But the plot controlled her, preventing her from speaking the truth.
Now, seeing the scumbag in person, Qin Wanyin clicked her tongue.
“When I was little, I was scared by a dog, so don’t bark randomly—I’m scared.”
Qi Heng: “…”
Qin Wanyin took off the necklace around her neck—this was the gift he gave her when they got engaged, with an engagement ring on it.
A worthless little trinket, but the original host treasured it like a precious gem.
Silly girl.
Unfortunately, her Reputation Points were too low now, and she couldn’t break her delicate persona. Otherwise, she would have hung this scumbag up and beaten him to vent her anger.
Qin Wanyin handed the ring back. “Qi Heng, let’s call off the engagement.”
Qi Heng paused for a moment, then said coldly, “Playing hard to get? Qin Wanyin, I underestimated you.”
Qin Wanyin patted her stomach. “No, it’s because I’m pregnant with someone else’s child.”
