The male supporting character was actually myself.

"I'm sorry." The girl was clearly hurt from the fall. She slowly got up from the ground, brushed off the stains on her skirt, looked down at him demurely, and said softly, "I was so focused on looking at the road sign over there that I bumped into you. I'm sorry."

Several thick books on art appreciation were scattered on the ground, which matched the girl's temperament perfectly.

"It's alright!" Dong Muqian was stunned for a moment before he realized what she meant. He quickly bent down to pick up the book for her and handed it to her with a smile. "Are you an art student?"

The girl in white took the book and hugged it to her chest. She covered her mouth with her slender hand and revealed a playful smile. "I've already started working! You're joking. I'm not as young as a college student anymore."

Thank you. You look like a university professor. Are you familiar with Lingnan University?

I wanted to return some books to the library. Last time my friend brought me here, I think we entered through the south gate. This time I came by myself, and somehow the navigation led me to the west gate. After entering, I turned left and right and got a little disoriented.

"The library is quite far from here."

Dong Muqian stared at her pretty round face, his heart racing with a fluttering feeling. Afraid that she would keep her distance from him if she knew about the previous news, he avoided the question and replied directly: "You have to go around to the back of the cafeteria and then through the teaching building to the East District to see it."

"I don't have anything else to do right now, so I can take you there. Did you hurt yourself when you fell? Are you alright?"

"It's alright!" The girl shook her head, her face full of shyness, a blush rising on her cheeks. "Then please take me there, I'm really not sure which way to go."

The simplest and most unassuming way to meet someone is often the least likely to arouse suspicion.

And so, a tall, petite, and lovely girl carrying several books followed Dong Muqian, and the two chatted as they walked toward the distant library.

Through casual conversation, Dong Muqian quickly figured out the other party's background.

The only daughter of a wealthy family in Lingnan City is just 22 years old this year. She graduated from a school in the south with a major in fine arts.

After graduation, instead of immediately looking for a job, she traveled around the world with her parents and went on a long trip abroad. She just returned a couple of days ago, and her family arranged for her to intern at an art gallery in the city.

Her best friend is a senior at Lingnan University. She had borrowed a few books for her from the library, but couldn't find the information she wanted in them, so she came to return them today.

Clearly, this is a girl who has been well protected by her family. She is innocent, cute, quiet, and gentle, not the loud and boisterous type.

Putting everything else aside, her appearance alone perfectly matches Dong Muqian's aesthetic standards.

Before he won Yu Chuchu's heart, he had a crush on a girl from the neighboring school. She had a round face, big eyes, and dimples. During a social gathering, her shy smile captivated Dong Muqian!

However, the girl was two years ahead of him and already had a boyfriend. After graduation, the two went back to their hometown to get married and disappeared without a trace.

From then on, Dong Muqian buried this white moonlight deep in his heart. Even his mother didn't know that although he had the great beauty Yu Chuchu by his side, he would occasionally reveal his longing for the white moonlight.

The girl in white I met today had a resemblance to the legendary beauty, but was younger and more beautiful. Especially the occasional glimpse of her car key and the subtle hints she gave—it was clear she was a pampered young woman. How many men could resist such temptation?

She comes from a wealthy family, is an only child, innocent and carefree, and her parents are pressuring her to get married...

Under Dong Muqian's deliberate guidance, Zhang Xiaorou, the unguarded girl in white, gradually began to talk about her helplessness in being pressured to get married.

Like all young people today, she believes that in matters of the heart, one should be content with the status quo and wait for the right person to appear. However, her parents are impatient and insist on arranging blind dates and other similar activities, which makes her feel suffocated.

"If I'd known, I would have stayed in the South and not come back!" Zhang Yurong pouted with a helpless yet playful expression, and asked in return, "We've been chatting for so long, and I still don't know your name!"

"My surname is Dong, and I am a teacher at Lingnan University." He tentatively said only his surname, secretly observing the other person's expression with his eyes.

Zhang Yurong showed no reaction to the surname at all. Instead, she looked at him with admiration, "Teacher Dong? Wow! You look no more than two years older than me, and you're already a teacher! That's amazing! Are you staying on at the school?"

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Final Chapter

Noticing the adoring gaze of the girl who had captured his heart, Dong Muqian's confidence, which had been repeatedly thwarted, swelled rapidly!

He quickly became elated by the subtle flattery.

"As expected of the expensively hired divorce counselors, Chengxin Company is definitely worth every penny!"

Looking at the live feed on the screen, Jiang Chen couldn't help but exclaim, "This acting absolutely blows away all those so-called traffic stars, big and small actresses. They only charge this little bit, less than one percent of their pay."

He really advised me to leave the company out of conscience!

"Tsk tsk, look at her eyes, tone, and movements—they're all so spot-on! One expression is enough to perfectly portray a charming young girl. No wonder Dong Muqian is so captivated."

The little white cat lay lazily on his shoulder, licking its paws. Hearing its host's praise, it leaned over and glanced at the cat. "Huh? This girl looks just like the description in Dong Muqian's diary."

No wonder it took them so long to get in place; were they looking for actors who fit their scumbag aesthetic?

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction, "Mmm! Yu Chuchu only vaguely knew that Dong Muqian had a crush on a girl before. Unrequited love naturally makes her the white moonlight in his heart."

My clever and capable Xiaobai found so many descriptions in his hidden diary, and after extensive investigation, he found the graduation photos from the neighboring school and thus locked onto his target, specially 'customizing' a 'white moonlight plus' version that Dong Muqian couldn't forget.

This counselor is not only more attractive than the "white moonlight" (a term used to describe someone who is deeply loved), but also has a more likable personality.

A wealthy only daughter, naive, innocent, and charmingly quiet—let alone Dong Muqian, who only dreams of marrying a swan, most men would be captivated after meeting her.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at Dong Muqian's disgusting face, all lewd and pretending to be refined, yue..." The fluffy ball covered its chest with its paws and made a gagging motion, "As expected of the host's top-notch persuader, he's so dedicated!"

It's rare to see someone so immersed in a role without being bothered by such greasiness!

"That's true, so I have to keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't get too caught up in the protagonist's aura and end up spending all her money on him."

"Meow~ Leave this to me, I can see the aura! If I find that one of our combat personnel has been mentally impaired, I will immediately go and help her isolate herself from the aura!"

Jiang Chen glanced at the fluffy ball curiously, "Little White, have you learned a new skill again?"

"What new skill? Does the host mean the isolation halo? Hmm~ that doesn't seem to be a skill..."

The little white cat frowned and thought for a moment, but probably still couldn't figure out the reason, so it simply took it easy. Then it smiled and waved its paws disdainfully, saying, "Well, well, it's just the protagonist in a badly written script. Its halo is inherently weak. It's normal for a soft and cute little kitten to tremble and block the brain drain."

"The host's aura is now far brighter than Dong Muqian's, so as an auxiliary system, I can definitely benefit from it too!"

He raised an eyebrow and didn't continue the topic; after all, the little white cat's special nature wasn't something that had only been going on for a day or two.

Could it be related to Horcruxes?

Why can my Soul Weapon continuously increase its power in the virtual world of the main system?

What is the principle?

Is the Horcrux connected to the main system? Or do I have some strange relationship with the main system?

A host of questions swirled in his mind as Jiang Chen stared at the screen, lost in thought.

"It's really nice to meet you, Professor Dong. You are very knowledgeable and have a humorous way of speaking. I'm sure the students will love your class!"

Zhang Xiaorou's face was full of admiration, her beautiful eyes sparkling like stars. She took out her expensive phone, fiddled with it for a few moments, and handed it over. "If you don't mind, let's add each other as friends!"

If you have time another day, Mr. Dong, you are welcome to visit our gallery.

Don't you really like classical oil paintings?

Our gallery has many paintings, and they're all fantastic!

Dong Muqian knew nothing about art movements; he was just making them up to flirt with girls. He only knew those few terms because his mother occasionally mentioned them while watching short videos.

However, he was quite satisfied with his performance in managing to fool the young girl.

After they added each other as friends, Dong Muqian quickly put away his phone and, using the excuse of wanting to learn more, went into the library with her. They sat in the art floor rest area and chatted quietly.

The other party's latest mobile phone alone was worth over ten thousand yuan, making him feel somewhat ashamed.

After working for so long, I can't even afford a decent phone. It's true that after all these years of hard work, I can't even reach the starting point of what others have achieved.

In an era where poverty is mocked but prostitution is not, if you want to achieve upward social mobility in a short period of time, you either have to go into business like Yu Jiangchen and wait for good luck to come and soar to the top.

Or they'll be like the beautiful women who marry into wealthy families, rising to prominence and becoming phoenixes;

For someone like me, an academic with a low starting point, no connections, and no business acumen, how easy is it to turn things around?

Yu Jiangchen and Yu Chuchu have completely cut off their escape routes. Now she is determined not to come back to him. Even if she is a goddess, what use is there in keeping such a wife?

Rather than...

Dong Muqian secretly glanced at the girl; she clearly had a good impression of him.

After all, the added charm of a young and handsome male teacher is too irresistible to a naive young girl like her. If it weren't for that incident before, she would still be very charming and popular.

The two chatted happily for half a day. When it was time to part, he watched Zhang Xiaorou drive away in her luxury car, and his thoughts became bolder and bolder!

"Heh, host, this is the narcissistic type of ordinary man, isn't it?" The little white cat snorted coldly, wagging its fluffy tail. "So disgusting! It's really not easy being a top-notch persuader."

Jiang Chen stretched and changed his posture, continuing to stare at the screen. He sipped a cup of hot tea and chuckled, "People like this are the ones who can't see their own place and have a mysterious self-confidence."

Arrogant, conceited, and narcissistic, Dong Muqian is the kind of ordinary guy who can conjure up a whole TV drama just by looking at a beautiful woman.

The protagonist in this realistic drama probably only has the halo that ensures he escapes legal punishment and successfully obtains the enormous wealth he desires. He doesn't really have any other advantages; otherwise, even the top-notch divorce counselor might fall into the trap.

With his "white moonlight plus rich" persona, the insatiable Dong Muqian won't be able to get past this hurdle. Let's see how our persuasion expert performs..."

Dong Muqian suddenly encountered a second turning point in his life. He was so excited that he didn't even have time to eat. He turned around and ran to the library to borrow a bunch of books related to art.

Since I don't have any classes or anything else to do lately, I might as well study hard and try to attract girls!

If he can win over this younger and prettier catch, dumping Yu Chuchu and marrying a rich and beautiful woman to reach the pinnacle of life is just around the corner!

So when he returned to his cramped room in the staff dormitory with a pile of books as darkness fell, he was greeted by his mother's wrinkled and withered face.

Startled by the sudden flash of fierceness in her triangular eyes, Dong Muqian hurriedly turned on the light and complained, "What are you doing? It's so late and you haven't turned on the light! Go look in the mirror and see your face. You're getting more and more menacing. No wonder I always have bad luck. It's really unlucky not to have a kind-looking mother like me..."

"I've finished my medicine." Liu Yingxiu forcibly suppressed the urge to take the card to the capital to treat her illness, and said in a resentful tone, "If you don't hurry up and think of a solution, even if I wanted to help you kill someone, I wouldn't be able to."

Dong Muqian put down the book, poured himself a glass of water, and spread his hands, saying, "I'll get you some more medicine tomorrow. The plan to kill Yu Chuchu and Yu Jiangchen is no longer needed. I found out today that they have notarized that if they die unexpectedly, all their property will be donated to charity."

"Donate? You can do that?" Liu Yingxiu's idyllic life fantasy shattered instantly. Unwilling to accept it, she pressed on, "Yu Chuchu is your wife in law, why shouldn't you get her property?"

"You don't understand anything, can you please ask fewer questions and let me read in peace? The law stipulates that individuals can dispose of their own property according to their own wishes. Even if they have unfilial children, they can still make a notarized donation!"

"Then, then, what should I do? I need money for medical treatment!"

"I knew you couldn't change your nature." Dong Muqian glanced at her and sneered, "You said some touching things before, like you were willing to risk your life to fight for your son's inheritance, but actually you just wanted to get a large sum of money to treat your illness, didn't you?"

Deeply hurt, Liu Yingxiu slumped to the ground, slapping her thigh and wailing, "Why am I so unlucky... I've raised my son all these years, and now that I'm sick, shouldn't I be trying to get him medical treatment as quickly as possible? All that education you've received has gone to waste! I haven't even eaten all day, you unfilial son..."

"Snapped!"

Dong Muqian slammed the book in his hand on the table, suppressing his anger as he growled, "Shut up! Are you trying to disturb the peace again and get me reported for this?"

"Take me to the hospital right now, I need to be admitted for treatment!" Liu Yingxiu lay on the ground, acting like a rogue, and threatened with her phone in her hand: "Otherwise, since I'm about to die anyway, nobody will get away with this! I'll contact the media right now and expose your unfilial behavior!"

"Damn it! Are you never going to stop?" Dong Muqian's anger surged, and he rushed forward, grabbing the phone while cursing, "Kind-hearted elderly people leave a way for their children to live by doing good deeds, but you, a disrespectful old man... Give me the phone! You old geezer, you're trying to morally blackmail me..."

"Oh no! Murder! Help! Dong Muqian is trying to kill his own mother! Someone, come quick! Ugh... Ugh..."

The two wrestled on the ground for a while, but the elderly and ailing Liu Yingxiu was no match for her young and strong son. He covered her mouth, snatched her phone, and threatened her fiercely, "Stop yelling, or I'll let you go. Listen, it's not that I won't treat your illness, it's just that I really don't have any money!"

Today I've stumbled upon a golden opportunity! As long as you behave yourself and don't cause any more trouble, once I've hooked this rich only daughter, my daughter and I can live off her without a care in the world!

"Um..."

Liu Yingxiu was being choked and had her mouth covered, so she could hardly breathe. She hurriedly nodded in agreement.
