The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Let me clarify in advance that every female character is a virgin, even the former fiancée in a marriage of convenience, or even a married woman.

.........................

The sky was terrifyingly dark, and the torrential rain made it impossible to see anything more than three meters away. Yet, in the rain, a little girl, about eight or nine years old and covered in dirt, was walking barefoot through the rain.

The next moment, a small figure struggled to hold up an umbrella and walked to the little girl's side, a gentle smile appearing on her cool and aloof face.

"Sister Shiyu, don't be sad. From now on, I will always stand in front of you, always and always, and I will protect you!"

Ah Yuan...

"President Su, President Su, wake up! Young Master Ye's flight is landing at 20:02. Aren't you going to pick him up? If you don't change your clothes soon, you'll miss the flight."

Upon hearing Secretary Liu Fei's voice, Su Shiyu's previously drowsy mind instantly cleared up, and she quickly got up and jogged towards the lounge next to the president's office.

"Liu Fei, have you prepared the gift I asked you to?"

"President Su, everything is ready."

Liu Fei hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"President Su, I still don't understand. Mr. Zhao is so good to you, why..."

"Shut up!"

Su Shiyu stopped what she was doing, slowly turned her head, and her eyes were so cold they could freeze someone to death.

"Liu Fei, if you want to go to Africa to mine, then keep asking."

thump!

Liu Fei was so frightened by Su Shiyu's gaze that her soul almost left her body. Instantly, her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground, slapping herself repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Su, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I..."

"Alright."

Su Shiyu changed into a white dress that accentuated her figure and turned to Liu Fei to speak.

"This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time."

Before Liu Fei could exhale the lingering breath of relief, Su Shiyu's icy voice continued to ring out.

"But since you've brought up Zhao Jinyan, before I divorce him next Monday, you should arrange for someone to keep an eye on him and prevent him from causing trouble."

When Su Shiyu spoke of her nominal husband, her tone turned even colder, and her eyes were so cold that Liu Fei instinctively shivered.

If it weren't for this guy coming to my door with the so-called marriage contract, and if it weren't for those old fogies in the Su family forcing me to marry him in order to get what I wanted, I wouldn't have been separated from A Yuan for four years!

Thinking of this, Su Shiyu's eyes grew even colder, and there was even a hint of murderous intent.

If this guy jumps out and causes trouble this time, causing A Yuan to run away for another four years, she will definitely go crazy!

Meanwhile, in the luxurious first-class cabin of international flight 666, which was about to land at Haicheng International Airport in Longguo, Ye Linyuan slowly opened his eyes, looking at the brightly lit Haicheng below with a complex expression.

Four years later, he was back. Ye Linyuan's thoughts drifted into memories.

Four years ago, Ye Linyuan awakened his memories of his past life and realized that he was the vicious second male lead in a female-oriented gender-swapped angst novel he had read in his previous life, and the fake young master in the story of the real and fake young master.

In that tragic storyline, the fake young master framed the real young master for the sake of the family fortune, and did all sorts of stupid things. In the early stages, he relied on the love of the Ye family and indeed had the upper hand, even causing the real young master to suffer all kinds of humiliation.

However, as the fake young master continued to bully him, the real young master successfully turned evil and quickly became the main villain in the book. Later, he used only a few tricks to expose all the evil deeds of the fake young master to the Ye family, and was eventually driven out of the Ye family.

In the novel, the villainous second male lead died a truly tragic death.

You have to understand, in a socialist country like China, people die of illness every day, and it's not uncommon for someone to be unlucky enough to be murdered. But for this villainous second male lead to starve to death in an alley, with only half a moldy bun in his hand when he died, is truly unique in the whole country...

Of course, the Ye family members also met a tragic end; none of them died peacefully. Even Ye Xiao, the father who had already died of illness and been cremated, was exhumed by the young master and his bones were crushed and scattered to the winds...

So, for the sake of his own life and for the sake of the Ye family, Ye Linyuan, disregarding the objections of the other members of the Ye family, ran away abroad on a whim the day before the real young master of the Ye family was to be brought home.

Perhaps it was because he was a second-generation human, Ye Linyuan was fast at everything from childhood to university. In addition, he also had memories of his previous life, so even in a foreign country where he was unfamiliar with the place and where the influence of the Ye family was far beyond his reach, he still managed to do very well. He established a company in the first year and the company's market value exceeded one billion US dollars in the second year.

Even so, facing the male protagonist in the novel with his protagonist halo, Ye Linyuan felt that his small power was far from enough. So he planned to develop it further until he could develop his overseas power to the point where he could crush the male protagonist in the book before returning to China.

In Ye Linyuan's view, intrigue and trickery are nothing but minor tricks. The best strategy is to crush the enemy completely and utterly without leaving any room for retreat!

Of course, he wouldn't say that compared to the male protagonist in the book who effortlessly pulls off all sorts of schemes and tricks after turning evil, he was completely clueless about these conspiracies, as pure as a white flower...

He originally thought it would take at least ten years for his strength to reach the level he envisioned, but unexpectedly, in just his third year abroad, when he was twenty years old, his golden finger as a transmigrator arrived, though late!

The cheat code is very simple; it's called the sign-in system. The effect is straightforward and direct, without any fancy tricks—you just sign in to receive rewards.

Daily check-in, weekly check-in, monthly check-in, annual check-in, ten-year check-in, hundred-year check-in, plus check-in at special locations.

Over the past year, relying on its own capabilities and the sign-in system, the Red Leaf Group, originally valued at several billion US dollars, has been transformed into a massive business empire with a market value of hundreds of billions of US dollars.

Of course, even without the system, and even without a multi-billion dollar business empire abroad, Ye Linyuan would still choose to return to China this time.

On the one hand, he had been laying out his plans in China for the past four years, and he already had enough confidence that even if he couldn't crush the so-called male lead, he could still protect himself. On the other hand, and most importantly, he heard from his eldest sister, Ye Qingyan, that the Ye Group was facing a crisis, and his father, Ye Xiao, the president, was so worried that he was hospitalized.

The thought of Ye Xiao made Ye Linyuan's lips curl up slightly.

Even though he was an adopted son, no matter when, even after the Ye family had clearly found their biological daughter, Ye Xiao still treated him extremely well, even better than he had treated his own daughters...

Thinking of Ye Xiao's unusually stern face towards others, yet always smiling towards him, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but clench his fist tightly.

Hopefully, the system will soon allow you to sign in with a panacea...

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully signing in to the Dragon Kingdom! Rewards include 10 Penglai Pills, Exploration Technique (Beginner), Attribute Card (adds 1 random attribute point), and Skill Level Card (upgrades a random skill by 1 level)!]

Penglai Dan?

Ye Linyuan was slightly taken aback, but then he realized that this was exactly what he had been told. This was the healing pill that was only available to the Xiao royal family in the novel "The Legend of the Young Swordsman" that he had read before his transmigration in his previous life!

The Legend of the Young Swordsman is a martial arts world with extremely high martial arts prowess. Compared to this ordinary world, the martial arts masters in The Legend of the Young Swordsman can be described as monsters!

This Penglai Pill can heal even monstrous martial arts experts. Even if my cheap old man is just sick, or even if he is seriously ill and not long for life, one Penglai Pill, even if it can't cure him, can at least prolong his life!

As for the detection technique, Ye Linyuan quickly figured it out as well.

The basic level of the investigation technique can be used once a day to find out the other person's name and their level of affection towards you. If you can upgrade to the intermediate level, you can remove the restriction of only being able to use it once a day and also increase the characteristics of the person being investigated. If you upgrade to the advanced level, you can even find out what the other person is thinking at the time. If you upgrade to the top level, you can even get a glimpse of the future of the person being investigated!

It can be said that this detection technique is a divine skill. Not to mention in this world of tragic novels, even in a world of high-level martial arts fantasy, it would be an extremely powerful skill!

"System, open your personal attributes panel."
