Join the Server[You live a wealthy life, but because of a physical defect you feel deeply inferior.
One day you see your first love, who is being condemned by the entire internet, and you find her and start keeping her as your lover.
You treat your first love very well and give her everything you can.
Her attitude toward you changes from cold indifference to enthusiasm.
Just when you think that the two of you are finally about to fall in love with each other, the internet suddenly exposes all kinds of scandalous rumors about your first love.
It turns out your first love used your money to support her own first love, and she was even juggling several relationships at the same time.
You were merely one of her many bootlickers.
But you love her too much, so you choose to forgive your first love and even join the group activities.]
After reading the plot prompt, Liu Qiu felt completely dizzy.
The prompt was telling her how the female lead she was supposed to play should act according to this storyline.
But what exactly were these “group activities”?
Liu Qiu didn’t understand, so she asked the system.
[System, what are group activities?]
The system coughed twice and explained to its innocent host.
[It means an orgy. A bunch of people lying naked together on a bed.]
Liu Qiu froze for a long moment before suddenly opening her eyes wide.
[Wow… that’s explosive.]
The next second, however, the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling dazzled her eyes.
Liu Qiu sat up on the bed in a daze and looked around the magnificently decorated room.
The system sounded a little smug.
[Host, in this world you are extremely rich, and you’re also a second-generation rich heir. I didn’t lie to you.]
After hearing that, Liu Qiu felt inexplicably bittersweet.
She had come to play the female lead, yet in every world she had been poor.
This time the system had finally been somewhat reliable.
[System, you’re amazing.] Liu Qiu praised without hesitation.
The system grew even prouder.
[By the way, Host, once you finish the mission in this world, I’ll have enough energy to help you rewind time and prevent your death.]
Liu Qiu couldn’t help but smile.
Life was truly starting to look more hopeful.
[System, I’m really grateful to you. If it weren’t for you, I’d already be dead.]
The system sounded a little embarrassed.
[Ah, Host, you’re making me blush.]
Liu Qiu patted her cheeks to pull herself together.
This was the final world, and she had to complete the mission quickly.
After closing her eyes and sorting through the original owner’s memories, Liu Qiu realized that the plot had already progressed halfway.
Three days ago, the original owner’s first love had signed the sugar-baby contract.
Liu Qiu listed the things she needed to do: treat her first love well, and then wait for the scandals about her first love to explode.
“Ding-ling-ling—”
A ringtone sounded beside the bed, followed by a voice.
“Miss, lunch is ready. Would you like to eat in your room today or in the dining hall?”
Liu Qiu subconsciously replied, “I’ll eat in the dining hall. I’ll come down in a moment.”
[Host! You’re supposed to be a bad-tempered rich young lady right now! You can’t be this gentle!]
Liu Qiu felt troubled.
She had never been a rich young lady before, let alone a bad-tempered one.
But this was the final world.
She had to try her best.
Liu Qiu silently encouraged herself and nodded seriously.
[Alright!]
Because of her lame leg, the original owner was extremely insecure and had developed a rather nasty personality.
She always stared at people gloomily.
If someone displeased her even slightly, she would bully them.
In Liu Qiu’s view, the original owner was simply the spoiled type.
And now she had to become that kind of person.
It was even harder to play than the cold CEO she had portrayed before.
[System, if I say something out of character or do something out of character, just give me a small electric shock. It doesn’t need to be strong—just enough for me to feel it.]
Actually, Liu Qiu had a plan.
In the previous world she had practically stopped maintaining the cold CEO persona toward the end.
But it hadn’t caused any problems at all.
The world’s consciousness had been extremely tolerant.
However, this was the final world.
She couldn’t allow any accidents.
Liu Qiu got off the enormous bed and took a step forward.
Her lame leg suddenly failed to support her, forcing her to rely on her healthy leg.
Her body swayed slightly.
The original owner had been born with the lame leg, and even hospitals couldn’t cure it.
That was what had led to her deep sense of inferiority.
A sudden idea popped into Liu Qiu’s head.
If she used a wheelchair from now on, wouldn’t she avoid participating in any so-called group activities?
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
She stumbled out of the huge room and stood in the corridor, looking down.
The luxurious decorations nearly blinded her.
Everything was golden.
In the center of the living room stood a massive golden statue—an eagle sculpted with perfect detail.
It was made entirely of pure gold.
Even the gemstones embedded in the walls were real.
Originally, the owner’s family hadn’t been wealthy.
But when she was sixteen, her mother was found by relatives and inherited hundreds of billions in assets.
The original owner instantly became a rich second generation.
Her parents didn’t know much about business, so they simply invested the money.
Their luck was incredible.
Every investment they made earned money, and their wealth multiplied again and again.
They even acquired shares in numerous corporations and rose from nouveau riche to the very top tier of the wealthy elite.
After taking the elevator down to the first floor, Liu Qiu emerged and saw two servants.
She steadied her expression and adopted a gloomy gaze.
She ignored the system because she had something important to do next.
Today the original owner had planned to visit her first love on set.
Although the original owner had already left in the storyline, Liu Qiu now had to carry on these actions—constantly treating her first love well.
The servants worked quickly and soon brought the wheelchair.
Liu Qiu plopped down into it.
She decided to fully commit to the lame-leg persona.
She absolutely did not want to participate in any group activities.
In the afternoon, Liu Qiu got into the original owner’s luxury car worth ten million yuan.
So this was what it felt like to sit on top of money.
Liu Qiu sighed inwardly.
Being rich was simply too enjoyable.
After savoring the feeling for a while, she took out her phone and searched for information about the original owner’s first love, Shen Yiwan.
The moment she typed in the name, a flood of news appeared.
#Actress surnamed Shen rejected while trying to sleep her way up
#Shen Yiwan caught entering hotel late at night
#Shen Yiwan acts like a diva behind the scenes
#Was syw a school bully in high school?!
#Shen rumored to be a married director’s mistress
Seeing the trending topics made Liu Qiu feel chilled to the bone.
This was truly being hated by the entire internet.
She clicked on one video after another, all mocking Shen Yiwan.
By the time she finished browsing several pieces of news, the car had already reached its destination.
Liu Qiu refused the driver’s offer to help her.
After the driver took the wheelchair out of the trunk, she limped into it and said indifferently, “You can go back. Come pick me up later.”
Then she pushed the control lever and the wheelchair slowly moved forward.
“Shen Yiwan! How many times has it been? Why can’t you remember it? The emotion here should be madness, not that stupid grin like an idiot!”
The moment Liu Qiu entered the studio, she heard an angry shout.
Looking forward, she could only see a figure standing with her head lowered.
Liu Qiu’s presence was extremely eye-catching.
Not only because of her face, but also because of the wheelchair beneath her.
Before she could approach too closely, someone walked up to her.
“Miss Liu, you’re here.”
Liu Qiu hummed in response to show her indifference.
But instead of being discouraged, the person smiled charmingly with a hint of seduction.
“Miss Liu, do you need me to push you?”
Liu Qiu narrowed her eyes and curled her lips into a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
“No need. Mine is electric.”
After saying that, she silently praised herself.
Very sharp-tongued. Perfect.
The original owner’s family fortune had risen like a miracle.
Not only businessmen—many ordinary people also recognized her face.
Liu Qiu knew that people in this industry liked to cling to powerful backers.
But she hadn’t expected to encounter it so quickly.
When a crew member noticed Liu Qiu’s arrival, he immediately informed the director.
The director instantly stopped shouting and rushed over to her in long strides.
With a flattering smile, he said, “Miss Liu, you’re here.”
“Shen Yiwan’s acting is really too poor. I couldn’t hold back earlier. You know how it is—sometimes actors only listen when you scold them a little.”
As the largest investor of the drama, Liu Qiu naturally had authority.
The director leaned in too close—closer even than the young actress earlier.
Liu Qiu frowned in annoyance and pressed a hand against his face, pushing him away.
“Don’t come so close to me.”
The director froze for a moment after being pushed.
Her palm had been unexpectedly soft.
Liu Qiu’s target was Shen Yiwan.
She didn’t want to waste time talking to others.
She moved the control lever and rolled her wheelchair over to Shen Yiwan.
Shen Yiwan kept her head lowered the whole time, but because Liu Qiu was sitting in the wheelchair, she could see Shen Yiwan’s face the moment she looked up.
Her expression was cold, yet her face was exquisitely beautiful.
Liu Qiu had seen many attractive people before, but Shen Yiwan’s face still left her stunned.
It had an extremely noble elegance.
The only problem was that her skin was too pale.
A sickly kind of pale, as if she rarely saw sunlight.
[Is she sick? Why is her skin so white?]
Shen Yiwan’s eyelashes trembled slightly.
Her gaze fell on the person sitting in the wheelchair before her, who was almost half a head shorter.
“What did you say?”
Liu Qiu snorted instead of answering.
“You greet me with that kind of attitude?”
Shen Yiwan rubbed the bridge of her nose irritably, already regretting signing that sugar-baby contract.
Liu Qiu had always been a bootlicker before.
Now that there was a formal relationship, she had become even more pushy.
Still, someone like Liu Qiu—rich and foolish—was extremely useful.
“Come with me,” Shen Yiwan said.
Liu Qiu tried to look sinister.
“Lead the way.”
Then she turned to the director behind her.
“Take a longer break. Shen Yiwan and I have something to discuss.”
The director didn’t dare refuse.
“Of course.”
He turned around and shouted through a megaphone.
“Take a thirty-minute break!”
[Host, isn’t this identity great?]
The system asked.
Liu Qiu answered firmly.
[Yes. It’s excellent.]
Shen Yiwan had already walked away, so Liu Qiu quickly moved the wheelchair controls to follow.
They entered a small room tucked into a corner.
Before Liu Qiu could even look around—
Shen Yiwan extended her hand toward her.
With a hint of impatience between her brows, she said, “Kiss it.”
Liu Qiu froze.
She glanced at the pale, beautiful back of the hand in front of her, then at Shen Yiwan’s delicate face.
[She doesn’t mean… she wants me to kiss her hand, right?]
Shen Yiwan stared at Liu Qiu’s unmoving lips, a thoughtful glint flashing in her eyes.
“If you don’t want to kiss it, forget it. For now, I won’t let you touch anywhere except my hands.”
“If you want more… it depends on how sincere you are.”
Her eyes were long and narrow, with deep double eyelids and slightly upturned corners, giving her a cold yet noble charm.
Liu Qiu hesitated.
Since the original owner loved her first love so much, she probably would kiss it.
After all, Shen Yiwan had technically been her first love in high school.
Even though they had only dated for two days, she still counted as the original owner’s first love.
And the original owner had never forgotten her.
After thinking it over, Liu Qiu gently took Shen Yiwan’s hand and lowered her head, pressing her lips to the smooth back of it.
[Thankfully it’s just a hand. I can handle that.]
Watching Liu Qiu’s dark head, Shen Yiwan confirmed something.
She could hear Liu Qiu’s thoughts.
But the tone didn’t sound like someone who desired her.
Liu Qiu would never imagine that someone could hear her inner voice.
At that moment she was even whispering to the system in her mind.
[System… is she some kind of monster?]
The system couldn’t give an answer.
It couldn’t detect anything with its scans, and even if it could, it wasn’t allowed to tell the host.
So it simply replied.
[No.]
Liu Qiu knew the system wasn’t very reliable, but hearing that still made her feel a bit relieved.
After kissing Shen Yiwan’s hand, Liu Qiu looked up at her with a hint of greed in her eyes.
“I want more.”
[That should be right.]
Shen Yiwan stared at Liu Qiu quietly before suddenly laughing.
The corners of her eyes lifted as she smiled, like peach blossoms blooming in March—dazzling and radiant.
“That won’t do.”
Liu Qiu’s gaze became infatuated.
“Why?”
[She’s so pretty. A different kind of beauty from Fu Jinyin and the others.]
Shen Yiwan bent slightly and leaned close to Liu Qiu’s ear, whispering softly.
“Help me get the female lead script for Feng Yue Ru Ge.”
“Next time, I’ll let you hug me.”
Liu Qiu suddenly let out a cold laugh.
“Shen Yiwan, you’re quite good at negotiating.”
“But did you forget? I’m your sugar mommy now.”
“You shouldn’t be negotiating with me—you should be trying to please me.”
[Why are you talking so close to me?]
Liu Qiu felt a little uncomfortable, though she didn’t show it.
Too close?
Shen Yiwan’s gaze dropped to the pale, slender neck before her.
A faint red gleam flashed through her dark eyes.
She could smell it—the blood flowing beneath the skin.
Yes, she had indeed come very close.
Shen Yiwan straightened calmly and stepped back to a normal conversational distance.
“In this industry, plenty of people want to sleep with me.”
“Liu Qiu, you know that. You’re not my only option.”
“Even though I have many scandals right now, if I casually choose someone, those scandals will disappear without a trace.”
“I only chose you because we once dated.”
Liu Qiu’s expression suddenly turned fierce.
“You’re not allowed to be with anyone else!”
[Go ahead and be with others—give me a nice green hat.]
