In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Long Yue is the dream god of every noble lady in Xingluo City.

It's not that Long Yue is particularly handsome, but rather that his status is what it is. Anyone who can get connected with Long Yue will have no problem securing the Yu family for four or five generations.

And today... their idol actually walked into the largest clothing store in Xingluo City with an ugly woman.

Actually... Yan Miaomiao isn't too bad-looking; her face shape is at least acceptable. It's just that her figure is a bit unbalanced. Perhaps it's because she was struggling to make ends meet before and didn't pay attention to her appearance. Her figure went out of shape during her training.

"So this is the one Long Yue likes."

A beautifully dressed young woman stood at the entrance of a clothing store, tiptoeing, looking at the handsome couple inside with stars in her eyes.

"A strong man paired with a fierce woman, they actually look quite well-matched in terms of appearance, and neither of them seems to mind the other."

The girl muttered to herself that with her status and appearance, she was no match for Long Yue, which was why... she could watch the drama unfold without any worries.

The others, however, were not in the same mood. In the eyes of these noble ladies, Long Yue and Dai Yun'er's marriage was a long way off, and the two might not even reach the final step. As long as Dai Yun'er didn't get together with Long Yue, their chance would come.

They never dreamed that Long Yue would like such a burly woman. Wouldn't their delicate, aristocratic ladies be more appealing?

The perspective shifts to the clothing store.

Looking at the burly woman in front of her, the proprietress was at a loss for words. With Yan Miaomiao's figure... no clothes would look good on her.

There was no other way, so the proprietress took out her best-kept wine-red plus-size palace dress and helped Yan Miaomiao put it on.

Sure enough, after changing into this dress, Yan Miaomiao's temperament improved instantly. Although she still looked robust, she gave off a different feeling, with the air of "a red-sleeved maid dancing wildly on the battlefield, riding a horse and brandishing a spear to sweep across the mountains and rivers"!

"Brother Longyue, this dress is so comfortable to wear. It's the first time I've ever worn clothes made of such fine material."

Yan Miaomiao skipped and hopped to Long Yue, grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously, just like she remembered their conversation.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Long Yue felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

It's different. Yan Miaomiao gives him a completely different feeling from Dai Yun'er, Dai Yueyan, and others.

Long Yue now has money and power, the only thing he lacks is someone to comfort his soul.

Is this what family feels like?

It seems he has never had this feeling since he arrived in Xingluo City.

Just then, Yan Miaomiao suddenly stretched out her right hand, stood on tiptoe, and gently stroked Long Yue's cheek.

"Brother Longyue's personality hasn't changed at all. He's still as dull as ever. I remember the first time you came to work at my house, all the other workers went to rest after lunch, but you were still there, sweeping the floor like an idiot, just like you are now. It's a pity... my youth has faded. My looks and figure can't compare to those noble ladies. I can only hold Brother Longyue back."

As Yan Miaomiao's slightly rough voice reached Long Yue's ears, he could no longer control his emotions and slowly slumped to the ground, two streams of tears flowing from his tiger-like eyes.

Once upon a time, Long Yue dreamed of marrying Yan Miaomiao, running a blacksmith shop, and taking care of Yan Miaomiao's parents and his uncle.

Memories that had long been dead were revived in an instant.

In particular, Yan Miaomiao's words, "You're still as dull as ever," reminded him of all the little things between him and Yan Miaomiao. Without Yan Miaomiao's father's help, it was uncertain whether he and his uncle would have survived until the moment he awakened his martial soul.

What is Dai Yun'er anyway? Even if she climbed into Long Yue's bed right now, he would kick her off. In Long Yue's heart, a hundred Dai Yun'ers are not worth a single hair on Yan Miaomiao's head.

Meanwhile, outside the clothing store.

Seeing Long Yue, this tough guy, shed tears, the noble ladies felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Who can compare to her? That woman is clearly Long Fengzi's white moonlight. As for us... hmph, we've all worked for nothing."

A young lady from a noble family stretched and then walked away with a smile, arm in arm with her best friend.

These crazy women have been fighting every day over Long Yue's marriage, and now, no one is a winner.

This was a bustling downtown area, and with so many young noble disciples witnessing all of this outside the clothing store, the news that Long Yue had found his white moonlight spread like wildfire throughout the entire Star Luo City.

At this moment, in the workshop on the top floor of the Star Luo City Forging Association.

Enci held a forging hammer, looking thoughtfully at the failed forging metal on the workbench.

Despite preparing for so long, he still hasn't reached the threshold of Heavenly Forging.

Just then, a slightly urgent knocking sound reached Enci's ears.

dong dong dong...

The latest novel is first published here!

"Come in, the door's unlocked."

As she spoke, Enci put down the forging hammer in her hand and sat down on a chair to the side.

A man in black pushed open the door and entered, standing in front of Enci, and recounted everything that had happened inside the clothing store.

After hearing the whole story, Enci's expression changed noticeably. At this critical moment, Long Yue had unexpectedly run into his childhood sweetheart. Something just didn't seem right.

All of this... is either a coincidence, or it was deliberately orchestrated by someone with ulterior motives.

Enci was also a man, and he naturally knew how much power the white moonlight could have on a man. Neither Enci nor the Xingluo royal family could do anything to Yan Miaomiao, and they even had to bestow titles upon her.

Even if it was an open conspiracy, the Star Luo Empire's higher-ups could only swallow their pride and accept it.

But this makes Dai Yun'er's situation even more difficult. Dai Tianling's original intention was to bring Dai Yun'er and Long Yue together, but now that Long Yue has a white moonlight, their marriage is destined to be impossible.

However, the matter of finding a husband for Dai Yun'er will not end there. If it is forcibly terminated, the consent of Dai Yun'er's suitors must be sought.

Unless... Long Yue holds a wedding with Dai Yun'er and Yan Miaomiao together and marries both women, the current problems of the Star Luo Empire can be solved.

However... this method is simply unrealistic. The Star Luo royal family, Dai Tianling, Dai Yun'er, Long Yue, and even some soul master families in Star Luo City would not agree to it.

Dai Yun'er is the only princess of the younger generation of the main line of the Star Luo royal family. Whoever marries Dai Yun'er will have a ticket to the center of power.

Unlike Earth, the Douluo world places more emphasis on talent, cultivation, status, and interest groups. There is no such thing as relatives of the emperor or imperial sons-in-law being barred from entering the center of power.

As Enci's disciple, Long Yue is already the future chief retainer. With Bai Yueguang by his side, there's no need for him to compete with others for the position of consort, right? (End of Chapter)
