Naturally, she could not continue living with her brother due to her condition, so her grandfather offered to raise Shi Mu. The frightened young couple agreed without hesitation. A year later, they had a lovely, beautiful daughter, and the family completely forgot about Shi Mu.
Although her parents were absent, she led a happy life with her grandfather.
To suppress the poisonous insect within her body, the old man drew a talisman for Shi Mu to wear and taught her some ghost-exorcising techniques. Unfortunately, she was still young and learned only a little.
She returned to the city only after her grandfather passed away years ago.
She struggled to adapt to city life. Her classmates looked down on this "country bumpkin." At home, her accomplished siblings pressured her. Whenever Shi Mu made mistakes, her parents compared her unfavorably to her sister.
Shi Mu had lived with her grandfather since childhood and had seen her parents only a few times. Feeling resentment toward her family, Shi Mu finally snapped and began to degenerate — skipping classes, fighting daily, and befriending gangsters.
Just yesterday, she had made a bet with her classmates to bed Fu Yunrui , thus she tricked him into going to a hotel under the pretext of tutoring.
Shi Mu was stunned.
Isn't this the plot of Dark Night Chronicles!?
Dark Night Chronicles is a suspenseful, thrilling comic mainly about a male protagonist solving cases, defeating villains, and finding love.
The comic features smooth artwork, an exciting plot, and all the female characters are beautiful. The person who recommended it promised Shi Mu would like it. Later, she found out she had been fooled — the female villain had the same name as her.
The female villain was elegant, with a good figure—big breasts and a slim waist. Every man who saw her wanted to have a late-night chat. What those men did not realize was that they were merely the medicine that kept the villain alive and beautiful…
Later, the female villain set her sights on Fu Yunshen, the mortal enemy of the male protagonist. Unexpectedly, Fu Yunshen did not fall for her tricks. The villain, unwilling to accept defeat, killed his twin brother Fu Yunrui in revenge.
Thinking of the villain's tragic fate, Shi Mu shuddered.
"You never told me I would come to a place like this. Are you kidding me?"
She was still young now, but as she grew, her physical desires would become stronger, and men would be irresistibly drawn to her.
The system said weakly: [It's better than wandering as a ghost forever, right?]
"…"
Better to be a ghost, indeed.
"Can I regret it?"
[Yes.]
Shi Mu sighed with relief.
The system said: [According to Article 888 of the contract, the host who voluntarily breaches the contract will die suddenly, and their soul will be trapped in a cycle of suffering forever.]
"…I was just kidding."
The system responded with satisfaction: [I am not unkind. Now you can choose one of the following two tasks to complete.]
"…"
[One: Make big boss Fu Yunshen your slave, living and dying for you, banging his head against walls for you.]
Shi Mu frowned. "Where's the second?"
[Two: Become good friends with big boss Fu Yunshen, and work together to build a socialist path of development.]
Shi Mu did not hesitate. "I choose two."
[Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?]
Shi Mu replied firmly: "Just two."
The villain in the story was so charming but couldn't conquer Fu Yunshen. She didn't think she could seduce him now. Moreover, if she remembered correctly, Fu Yunshen had a mental illness and avoided interactions with girls.
[Congratulations, host, on accepting the main mission. I wish you a happy life.]
"Wait." Shi Mu stopped the voice. "What do I need to do to complete the mission?"
[You can check the Tasks panel.]
Tasks panel?
A blue light flashed before her eyes with several lines of floating text.
Main task: Become brothers with Fu Yunshen and kowtow to him.
Current brother value: 0 (needs to reach 1,000,000).
The task is only considered complete when it reaches one million.
…This feels so difficult.
She wrinkled her nose and scratched her messy hair worriedly.
On an unfamiliar street, a black car slowly stopped beside her, and the window slid down, revealing half of a delicate face.
"Get in the car."
The boy's voice was cold, with a subtle sense of distance and indifference.
Shi Mu turned to look, a little dazed.
Shi Li, her brother.
The driver got out and carefully opened the back door.
She bit her lip and slowly sat in.
The car merged into the sea of vehicles. It was silent inside. She placed her hands flat on her thighs and glanced cautiously at the boy beside her from the corner of her eye.
Shi Li was weak, thin, and gaunt, with clear and cold eyes untouched by dust.
Noticing her gaze, the boy looked over.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, he looked at her with a hint of mockery.
"I heard you checked into a hotel with someone?"
Shi Mu was stunned. How did he know?
"Who told you that?"
Shi Li sneered, "It's already known at home. Hard to keep it a secret."
"…"
"..."
Um???
He just said... where did the trouble go?
