Time passed slowly, and the Zhou family continued to live their lives as usual.

After Zhou Shili returned from the south last time, he was promoted and is now a third-rank official.

He named his child with Liu Muqiu Zhou Wanyu; she was fair-skinned, chubby, and extremely healthy.

Zhou Shixu's martial arts exam also went relatively smoothly.

After Yu Shuang told him the truth, he was depressed for a long time, but eventually he cheered up.

Seeing his mother and sister again, he couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed.

After all, his mother and sister had both warned him, but he just didn't think there was anything wrong with Chu Yuan'er, and he was completely unguarded around him, which gave others the opportunity to take advantage of his vulnerability.

Now that I think about it, since Chu Yuan'er had schemed against everyone else in the mansion, how could she possibly have overlooked him?

Especially since he wasn't as clever as his older brother, who was easily fooled.

And that's exactly what happened.

Fortunately, the Zhou family had strict family rules, and he did not do anything out of line with Yu Shuang.

Otherwise, the mere fact that Yu Shuang had once been his elder brother's concubine would be enough to make him a laughingstock if outsiders knew.

On the day Yu Shuang left, he did not go out of the city to see her off. He only asked Junshan to send her some silver and returned all the things Yu Shuang had given him as a farewell.

After Yu Shuang left, he stopped going out all day to tease cats and dogs and devoted himself to practicing horseback riding and archery at home.

Zhou Shixu had thought it over carefully. Right now, his elder brother was doing well at the Dali Temple, his father had been granted the title of Duke, and his mother had been granted the title of Lady of the State for her meritorious service in disaster relief. His younger sister seemed to be getting very close to the young master of the Wenyu Princess's family recently.

He's the only useless one left in the whole family.

If he doesn't work harder, he won't even be able to say he's a member of the Zhou family when he goes out.

With the previous obstacles gone, the family's relationship quickly warmed up considerably.

However, Liu Yuyao still lives somewhere in the Zhou family's backyard.

Her servants would bring her three meals a day, but she would never see anyone else.

Even so, whenever she tried to harm herself, a figure would suddenly appear out of nowhere to stop her.

Taking her things, rescuing her, and then leaving without a word—it all felt like a dream.

They saw her, yet they couldn't see her.

Liu Yuyao was driven crazy by all of this, and she couldn't take it anymore after just a few months.

She became increasingly certain that Lu Mingzhao was a monster; otherwise, how could he have survived 14 years like this?

Every day, she would close her eyes and shout at the system, "I want to go home! Let me go home! I can't take it anymore!"

On this day, the system finally spoke in a cold voice: "Mission failed, host cannot go home."

"Why? This isn't fair!" Liu Yuyao roared.

System: "That's the rule, and besides, the system has already given you a lot of cheat codes."

Liu Yuyao gritted her teeth: "I'm asking why you dragged me into this world? I can live perfectly well in my own world; I don't belong here at all."

"But this is also a world you created. Have you forgotten what you said?"

Liu Yuyao was stunned. The world she created?

She seemed to remember something.

She is a novelist.

Liu Yuyao opened her mouth, her brows furrowed: "But in the novel I wrote, the female lead is named Chen Yueyun, and the male lead is named He Chen."

It was a romance novel with a plot involving forced marriage and possession.

A bright and cheerful female protagonist meets a yandere male protagonist who is emotionally detached and has an insatiable desire for control.

After several struggles, the female protagonist was still imprisoned by the yandere male protagonist, gave birth to his son, and eventually died in depression.

The system remained silent for a moment before politely replying, "Perhaps you've been in this world for too long, and your memories are a bit hazy. Let me answer your questions."

"To make the female protagonist, who possessed great martial arts skills, willingly submit to the male protagonist's control, you even gave her a younger sister. This sister was spared due to strong reader demand, but you wrote that her fate after leaving the capital was unknown. Do you remember that?"

"Because your book is too cruel to the female lead, it has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among readers. One of the readers wrote a fan fiction, which is the story of Lu Mingzhao and Zhou Ningchuan now."

"But do you remember what you replied to her?"

Liu Yuyao's eyes were somewhat blank.

I think I replied to her... "Don't mess with my book."

System: "Not only that. You also mocked his story as too shallow, lacking any dramatic emotional twists and turns, calling it utter garbage."

"They say the female lead is a useless good-for-nothing who only knows how to have children."

"You said that a true little sun heroine should be born to save the male lead and die to save him in the end, only then can it be considered a complete storyline, otherwise their relationship is not strong at all."

"You said that Zhou Ningchuan and Lu Mingzhao's marriage is entirely held together by their child, and that anyone could destroy their marriage, unlike He Chen and Chen Yueyun whose relationship is deep and unbreakable."

"Finally, due to the deep resentment you have accumulated among your readers, this system has been awakened. The system has forcibly sent you into this world, and you will only be able to return to your original world after you complete the task you stated, which is that 'anyone can destroy their marriage'."

"You chose Lu Mingzhao's body first, saying that even if someone else were chosen, they wouldn't notice and would instead be immersed in the beauty you brought them. But you failed."

"Then you chose Chu Yuan'er, and failed again."

"In the end, you chose your original body, saying you would have a better chance of winning with your original body. But now it seems you failed even on your last attempt."

After hearing all this, Liu Yuyao finally remembered everything.

She remained silent for a long time before speaking in a trembling voice, "But even so, I created this world in the first place. I didn't really hurt Lu Mingzhao and the others, so how could they treat me like this?"
