In the most prestigious private hospital in Huaxia, the luxurious VIP ward felt especially cold and empty. Inside the spacious room, there was no one else but Lu Yiming lying on the hospital bed.
A man who once dominated the world for decades—now, in the final stage of his life—was completely alone.
[Do you regret it?]
The voice in his mind stirred Lu Yiming to open his eyes with great effort.
His once-glorious life had undergone an abrupt collapse. To regain the peak, Lu Yiming walked the fine line on the edge of the abyss. He used any means necessary. No one was off-limits. Everyone was a pawn, and betrayal was just part of the game.
Eventually, he returned to the top of the pyramid and became one of the most powerful people in the world.
But so what?
His wife turned against him. In the end, he was left alone.
No matter how much wealth he had, he couldn’t take any of it with him.
[Have you ever regretted it?]
Lu Yiming said, “Even if I do, what’s the point?”
[Then live again.]
[System binding in progress…]
[10%…15%…30%…55%…99%…]
A flash of white light. Time reversed.
“Hiss…”
Lu Yiming felt a blinding white light surge up. He sensed the change in his body. His previously clouded mind became sharp and clear. It was a feeling he hadn’t had in ages.
When the white light faded, Lu Yiming was stunned by what he saw before him.
[System: Host bound successfully. Sin Points: 1,111,799 (rising rapidly…)]
Sin points? What the hell is that?
But for Lu Yiming, that wasn’t the main point right now. What truly mattered was…
He was lying on the bed of a hotel suite, and beneath him was an unconscious woman.
Her?!
Lu Yiming’s pupils dilated.
This scene was something he could never forget for the rest of his life.
Su Rongrong.
The undisputed campus belle of Magic City University. The dream girl of countless outstanding young men.
And at this very moment, the goddess lay completely bare, and the two of them were intimately entangled.
Just one more step, and he would have completely taken her.
Just one step.
Lu Yiming only needed to lean forward a little and…
He was back?
Really back?!
But why at this critical moment?
In his previous life, Lu Yiming had also admired Su Rongrong. Unfortunately, she had no fondness for a rich and spoiled second-generation heir like him.
He had tried countless times to win her over but failed every time.
On the eve of graduation, incited by his degenerate friends, Lu Yiming took a reckless step.
And that led to a catastrophe.
It also marked the beginning of the Lu Family’s decline.
No one could have guessed that Su Rongrong’s family turned out to be an ancient hidden aristocratic clan that had remained low-key in Su Province for centuries.
Such a reclusive family was on a completely different level than the nouveau riche Lu Family.
After violating Su Rongrong and committing a grave crime, the patriarch of the Su Family flew into a rage and swore to annihilate the Lu Family.
Even though Lu Yiming’s father had a powerful backer who tried to shield them, the countdown to the Lu Family’s downfall had already begun.
That moment planted the seeds for everything that followed.
If memory served right, Su Rongrong would wake up any second now.
Even with her soft body in his arms, Lu Yiming had no filthy thoughts at all.
Run away now? Pretend nothing ever happened?
Maybe that was a solution.
Just as Lu Yiming was about to slide off the bed…
Su Rongrong opened her dazed eyes.
This scene… was too familiar.
In the previous life, when Su Rongrong woke up, he was in a frenzy. No matter how she pleaded or cursed, the lust-crazed Lu Yiming ignored her.
The look of despair in her eyes haunted him for the rest of his life.
Now, as their eyes met, Su Rongrong’s gaze shifted from confusion to clarity, from fear to disgust.
Lu Yiming said, “If I told you someone set me up, would you believe me?”
Su Rongrong stared blankly.
Shameless. The man in front of her was utterly shameless!
Set up?
Using her to frame Lu Yiming?
She knew full well what kind of person Lu Yiming was.
In all four years of university, he had been a spoiled rich heir who indulged in drinking, partying, and debauchery.
He was always surrounded by lowlife friends.
And now he dared to lay his filthy hands on her.
As the legitimate daughter of the Su Family, Su Rongrong still had her rationality. She knew if she provoked Lu Yiming now, he might do something even more outrageous. In the end, she’d be the one to suffer.
“Get off.”
“Okay.”
Lu Yiming was fully aware of how terrifying Su Rongrong could be.
She might look harmless on the surface, but inside, she was cunning and ruthless. He had suffered enough from underestimating her.
One moment of pleasure had ended up costing the Lu Family dearly.
Lu Yiming was about to get off the bed, but then he realized—he was completely naked.
Instinctively, he pulled the blanket over himself.
“Ah! Bastard!”
Lu Yiming forgot that Su Rongrong was just as unclothed as he was.
As the blanket shifted, her beautiful figure was fully exposed. Lu Yiming swallowed hard.
That figure—simply divine, sculpted to perfection.
Truly, every region has its own beauty.
Wait, what was he thinking?!
Lu Yiming swore—it was just an unconscious reaction.
“I…”
“You…”
“Shut your filthy mouth!”
“Then what do I do?”
“Lu Yiming, are you even a man?!”
“You tell me—am I?”
“Enough! Get out!”
In panic, Lu Yiming grabbed the clothes scattered on the floor and fled the bedroom in a hurry.
Only after a long silence did Su Rongrong open her beautiful eyes again. Once she confirmed that Lu Yiming had left, she scrambled to pick up her underwear.
But her lace panties were nowhere to be found.
In a five-star hotel suite, such a ridiculous thing had happened.
…
Meanwhile, Lu Yiming sat on the sofa in the living room, looking dumbfounded.
He really had come back.
Although the timing was a bit absurd.
In the mirror, he saw his younger self. A little messy, sure—but undeniably handsome. He definitely had the looks.
Instinctively, Lu Yiming reached into his pants pocket to grab a cigarette.
Instead of cigarettes, he pulled out something with black lace trim…
Wait…
Right, in his previous life, he kept it as a souvenir.
That’s why, from the very beginning, he had stuffed it in his pants pocket.
The previous him really was a bit of a pervert.
Just as he was wondering whether he should return it…
Su Rongrong appeared, fully dressed.
“Pervert!”
Su Rongrong was furious.
She never expected that the lace underwear she couldn’t find… was in Lu Yiming’s hand!
And he was even examining it closely.
This shameless man had no shame left to lose.
“Maybe you should let me explain?”
Even with Lu Yiming’s thick skin, he felt utterly awkward now. The evidence was right there in his hand—no explanation would help.
“I was really framed. Don’t worry, I’ll give you an explanation. I’ll leave this here…”
At this point, nothing he said would help.
He needed to let Su Rongrong cool down and sort out his own thoughts.
Everything had happened so suddenly.
Lu Yiming knew Su Rongrong was the type who appeared soft on the outside but was tough and unforgiving within. If today wasn’t handled well, the Lu Family would suffer brutal revenge.
Everything that happened in the previous life—must not happen again.
Under Su Rongrong’s icy gaze, Lu Yiming left the suite.
[System: Sin Point: 1,111,799]
Lu Yiming didn’t even notice that the so-called Sin Point had stopped rising.
It stayed frozen at 1,111,799.
