“Xiao Chen, be good. Mom has already called your big brother. He and your Uncle Yan will come over soon. Take your medicine, my dear. You need to recover well for the surgery.”
When Su Jingxuan regained consciousness in the world, before he had the chance to open his eyes, he heard a gentle woman’s voice by his ear.
However, this time, he didn’t have the mood to immediately understand what the new task was or to figure out the current situation. The events in the grand hall had left him feeling uneasy and unable to suppress his emotions. He needed to relieve his feelings.
He couldn’t decipher the man in the black robe’s performance and words, but one thing he could be sure of was that the man in the black robe knew his loved one.
And his loved one was indeed not from this world. He must have been extremely powerful and sacrificed a lot for him.
Ever since he started the cycle in this world, he had always considered himself as someone with a heart of stone. He wouldn’t be moved by anyone, and no one could truly occupy his thoughts.
But Xie was different. That man was unbelievably foolish. He suddenly appeared in front of him, and no matter how much Su Jingxuan resisted and remained indifferent, the man never gave up on him.
He pampered him while alive and, even after death, he couldn’t rest easy without protecting him. Su Jingxuan knew that the black dragon protecting him was Xie. The way the dragon looked at him, he wouldn’t be mistaken.
The familiar sensation of the dragon-shaped jade lingering in his soul made him not only uncomfortable but also indescribably touched and happy.
He didn’t know why he would still feel happy in such a situation, and he didn’t know what exactly he was happy about. However, an intense emotion surged within him, making it difficult for him to control his emotional fluctuations.
His chest felt heavy, his head was pounding, as if something was violently striking his head, trying to break free. His head felt like it was about to explode.
The strong emotional fluctuations made him uncontrollably cough.
“Cough, cough…”
Su Jingxuan coughed rapidly, feeling like he couldn’t breathe properly. His whole body also had a weak pain, not the vulnerability caused by emotional fluctuations but the original body’s frailty.
“Xiaochen, what’s wrong? Is it hurting again? Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Mom will call the doctor immediately. Doctor, doctor, someone come quickly!”
The gentle woman who had been speaking noticed his abnormality, and her voice became anxious. While comforting him, she placed an oxygen mask on him and screamed to call for assistance, seemingly on the verge of tears.
The pain all over his body prevented Su Jingxuan from feeling sentimental. The rapid coughing couldn’t be stopped, making it difficult for him to breathe. It seemed like everything in his body was being coughed out.
If it weren’t for the gradually increasing strength of his soul power protecting and improving the body’s constitution, he had no doubt that he might have died from just this body now.
After continuous coughing for quite some time, the doctors and nurses rushed in with medicines. In a frenzy of first aid and injections, they finally managed to stop his coughing and allow him to catch his breath.
“Mrs. Yan, Young Master is fine now. However, you must pay attention to his diet and avoid injuries. Emotional fluctuations are also a big taboo for recovery.”
Seeing his condition improve, the doctors sighed in relief and gave some advice.
“Doctor, I understand. Xiao Chen, my Xiao Chen…” The woman’s anxious voice finally couldn’t hold back her sorrow, and she started crying, calling out the name Xiao Chen with great concern.
Slowly opening his eyes, Su Jingxuan found himself lying in a well-equipped and luxurious hospital bed. In the room, apart from doctors and nurses wearing white coats and masks, there was only a beautiful woman holding his hand, crying incessantly.
Though he hadn’t yet grasped the plot, based on the recent sounds, Su Jingxuan already had a rough idea of the current situation.
Regardless of how difficult his emotions had been a moment ago, it was time to start the task again. All the questions would slowly be unraveled. This time, the original owner was a cute-looking boy named Jiang Zicheng. However, in the plot of this world, it was a melodramatic story of a male and female lead in a dog-blooded wealthy family rebirth business war.
The Yan family wasn’t considered a top-notch wealthy family in City B, but they were definitely affluent in high society. The group specialized in real estate and jewelry businesses, with few other industries involved.
Even so, the estimated total assets of Yan Group were close to a hundred billion, making them undeniably a wealthy family.
The largest shareholder of Yan Group, Yan Guoan’s son, and the Yan family’s eldest son, Yan Junfeng, was the male lead of this story.
Unlike most TV dramas portraying worthless second-generation rich kids, Yan Junfeng was handsome and academically outstanding. He skipped grades and went abroad for further studies at an early age, returning to the company to help after completing his education. He was undoubtedly a young talent in the circle.
However, the challenge in wealthy families was unavoidable. Although Yan Guoan only had one son, and it was certain that the company would be handed over to him, the family faced the threat of an ambitious younger brother. Yan Junfeng, despite his abilities, couldn’t resist the scheming of his second uncle, who worked in the shadows. Due to his young age and lack of experience, he was ultimately defeated, losing the family business and even his life.
Of course, as the protagonist, Yan Junfeng had a golden halo. Instead of being reborn, he returned to a time before everything started.
With the help of memories from his past life and the protagonist’s halo, he began his overpowered counterattack, regaining the family business, joining hands with the female lead, and leading the family enterprise to its peak, becoming a legendary figure in the business world.
The original owner was among those who got cut as cannon fodder. Moreover, he was a malicious supporting role.
Initially, he didn’t have any major grievances with Yan Junfeng, and their relationship was quite close.
Although he was just brought into the Yan family by his mother’s remarriage, the Yan family treated him and his mother very well, without any conflicts arising due to the stepmother and stepbrother. Because of his serious blood clotting disorder, Yan Junfeng cared for him extremely well. Yan Junfeng’s care surpassed even his own mother’s.
The original owner also became quite reliant on his caring stepbrother. As time went on, with the growing feelings, a subtle emotional attachment developed.
Whenever his body was in pain, as long as Yan Junfeng was by his side, he could endure the pain, no matter how intense. He knew that only when he got better could he have a chance to be with the person he liked.
Fortunately, his illness was not an incurable disease. Although it threatened his life, with the current state of technology, as long as a suitable bone marrow donor was found, there was a great hope for a cure.
The difficulty lay in the fact that the original owner had a rare panda blood type. Yan family spent considerable effort and resources to find a suitable girl for him to undergo surgery. This girl happened to be the female lead of this world, Lu Jinwen.
Thus, the story took a dramatic turn into a dog-blooded romantic tale. The female lead, due to her family’s poverty and her father’s serious illness, had to sacrifice herself and sign a bone marrow donation contract with the Yan family, gaining a large sum of money.
Subsequently, during the surgery on the original owner and the period of recovery at the Yan family, the two male and female leads lived under the same roof, and sparks of ambiguous feelings began to fly.
As the predestined antagonist, the original owner naturally couldn’t stand the ambiguity between the male and female leads. He also couldn’t accept the person he liked falling for someone else. Thus, he began a series of disruptions to hinder their relationship.
However, the disruption backfired, and instead of causing trouble for the male and female leads, he ended up losing Yan Junfeng’s favor.
Lu Jinwen was not a genuine white lotus female lead, so, in a jewelry design competition, she framed him, making him carry the stigma of stealing the original manuscript from the female lead. This led to him becoming a despised figure nationwide.
Facing everyone’s disdain, the original owner was deeply hurt. Although he disliked Lu Jinwen, and his actions were geared towards sabotaging her relationship with Yan Junfeng, he only did trivial things like expressing jealousy and causing verbal disputes.
But he failed miserably each time, and he was outplayed by the female lead. Now, he couldn’t get anyone to believe him.
In a fit of anger, the original owner was bought off by the conniving second uncle of the Yan family. Naive and foolish, he was manipulated to bring about Yan Junfeng’s downfall. It was only too late when he realized that he had harmed his beloved brother by his own hand.
Due to this, the original owner felt immense self-blame, but at this point, it was too late. Yan Junfeng had already died, and he had no chance to apologize or express regret. All that awaited him was Yan Junfeng’s posthumous disgust and a tragic fate.
So this time, the original host’s wish is not to be manipulated again. He helps Yan Junfeng retain the company and exposes Lu Jinwen, who appears to be one way but is actually another, pretending to be innocent while scheming against him, a pseudo-white lotus.
In any case, Yan Junfeng can like anyone, just not allowed to like Lu Jinwen. This woman is not worthy of him, the great Yan brother.
After receiving the plot, Su Jingxuan couldn’t help but feel a headache. He didn’t expect this time to be a dog-blood romantic mission, mixed with emotions.
This kind of task is much more difficult than leveling up in a monster-fighting game; human hearts are the most complex. He even has to break up the protagonist’s relationship.
God knows how big the protagonist’s halo is in these worlds. Except for him as an unexpected candidate, which supporting character would dare to snatch the male lead’s woman and not end up being cannon fodder?
Fortunately, the original host didn’t insist on being with the male lead. As long as he plans carefully, the task, though troublesome, is not difficult.
Su Jingxuan pondered the intricacies of the challenge ahead. He anticipated the emotional turmoil that manipulating relationships could bring and acknowledged the difficulties in exposing someone like Lu Jinwen, whose actions painted a deceptive picture of innocence.
As he considered the upcoming mission, the serious tone of the task intertwined with Su Jingxuan’s reflections. The complexities of human emotions added a layer of difficulty to the mission, making it more intricate than the straightforward battles he faced in monster-fighting games.
In this world of intricate emotions, Su Jingxuan faced the daunting task of not only helping Yan Junfeng but also navigating the delicate web of relationships that surrounded him. With determination and careful planning, Su Jingxuan braced himself for the challenges that lay ahead, confident that he could maneuver through the complexities of human hearts to achieve the mission’s success.
