Hidden Mist 42nd year, Hidden Mist Village, Hozuki Clan territory.
In a tidy room, Gui Deng Bai Yu slightly furrowed his brow and slowly opened his eyes.
"Hiss~"
Memories replayed like a revolving lantern. The feeling of pain told him he had been reborn again.
According to his memories, he was 12 years old this year and was about to take the Ninja Academy graduation exam.
But before the exam, he still had to go on dates with Miss Ozawa from the Momochi Clan, Miss Yui from the Renwu Clan, Miss Erika from the Kakashi Clan, and Miss Mei from the Terumi Clan???
Dong~ dong~ dong~
A sudden knock on the door sounded, pulling Bai Yu back from his shock, but he felt a little uneasy inside.
His current identity was a bit fierce. It was currently nighttime, so it couldn't be time for a date, could it?
"Who is it?"
"Lord, someone from the Terumi Clan is here. Your Father wants you to go quickly."
The maid's voice was somewhat familiar, which relaxed him slightly, but he quickly became nervous again.
The Terumi Clan wasn't just anyone. In his memory, he had an engagement with Mei Terumi...
No way? No way?
Could there really be a nighttime date?
Was Mei Terumi that open-minded?
Although he had received all the original body's memories, that didn't mean he suddenly knew how to flirt~
"Lord, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
The maid's voice sounded again, and Bai Yu finally snapped out of his panic.
"No... I'll be out soon."
"Then hurry up, Lord. The people from the Terumi Clan look like they're in a bad mood~"
Bai Yu's heart sank, and a bad premonition clouded his mind.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to load the memories and abilities from his first life first.
Quickly calling up the system panel, Bai Yu selected his first life to begin loading.

Plot Reversal Points: 780,000
After starting the loading of his first life, Bai Yu felt his physical strength slowly return, and fragmented memories gradually surfaced in his mind.
To gain an advantage, Bai Yu had actually gone through a lot.
Besides giving him a good background each time he was reborn, the damned system didn't provide anything else, not even a system shop.
So in each life, he had to work hard to survive.
As for his first life, it was simply too difficult, so difficult that he didn't even have time to marry a wife...
Ahem, after sorting out the system, Bai Yu followed the original body's memories and dressed according to his usual habits for receiving guests.
Before long, seeing himself in the mirror, dressed in a sky-blue kimono, with a white ponytail tied at shoulder length, and his roguish charm significantly toned down, Bai Yu finally showed a hint of a smile.
With his hair down, he looked a bit sloppy and also a little handsome. If you said he was a hooligan on the street, no one would look more like one than him.
But with his hair tied up, he immediately looked much more proper, definitely having the noble air of a reformed prodigal.
After all, the Terumi Clan was a prominent family. If they found out he was dating four women at once, he would be in big trouble.
He dressed so meticulously to create an impression for them that he was still a good child.
Relying on his past memories, he quickly arrived at the reception room.
But before he even got close to the door, he heard voices talking inside.
"I'm sorry, Clan Leader Jin Yu, but Miss Mei insisted on coming to break off the engagement. Actually, we didn't really want to, as the union of children from both clans is something we hoped to see."
"Miss Mei, why don't you speak? I believe you wouldn't be making a fuss without reason. To make you so determined to break off the engagement, it must be because our Bai Yu did something bad, right?"
"Ugh~"
As soon as Gui Deng Jin Yu finished speaking, crying was heard from the room.
Then, hurried footsteps sounded, and before Bai Yu could react, the door opened with a 'swish'.
A tearful, orange-haired girl with a slightly slender figure, wearing a cherry blossom-colored kimono, ran out.
She ran so fast that she didn't see Bai Yu and ran past him, while Bai Yu was stunned in place.
But the door was wide open, and he was also exposed to the sight of the remaining two people in the room...
"What are you standing there for, you brat? Chase her!"
A deafening roar of anger immediately erupted from the room.
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment before his Adam's apple bobbed.
"Un... understood, Father..."
He quickly turned and chased after her.
The girl was extremely sad, so after running out, her legs gradually weakened, and her running speed was very slow.
Bai Yu hadn't chased for long before he spotted her. After taking a few quick steps to catch up, he grabbed her small hand.
Bai Yu's heart began to beat extremely fast. This series of actions made him feel somewhat unaccustomed.
In reality, he had never held a girl's hand before. The reason he became so bold now was entirely thanks to the various plans and strategies that appeared in his mind.
This was probably the special talent of this life...
"W-who was that bastard who bullied our Xiao Chengzi?" Bai Yu stammered out words full of embarrassment.
Although he was very unwilling inside, there was nothing he could do.
Every time he was reborn, there were various crises. This time was an emotional crisis, which he was least skilled at handling.
So he chose to follow the plan in his mind.
Although the cheesy lines were delivered somewhat awkwardly, Mei Terumi still looked over, her trembling thin lips slightly pouting.
"Hmph!"
Huh?
What does that mean?
Bai Yu was momentarily confused, but his mind worked extremely fast, and words immediately popped up in his head.
The most urgent matter was that he had no other choice but to instinctively reveal a light smile.
"My favorite Xiao Chengzi, you are indeed still so beautiful and moving even when angry. But if you'd allow me to kiss away your tears, that would be even better..."
Bai Yu smiled stiffly and half-squatted down. After a moment of hesitation, he slowly pecked Mei Terumi's hand.
"You..." Mei Terumi's cheeks instantly turned crimson.
However, before Mei Terumi could recover, Bai Yu stood up again and slowly moved closer.
Feeling Bai Yu's body getting closer and closer, Mei Terumi panicked and immediately squeezed her eyes shut, blushing as she quickly snapped.
"You... you... bastard!"
Although Bai Yu was very nervous, his face was also red, but he still completed the action of hugging Mei Terumi. Her soft body against his chest felt so good, he really didn't want to let go.
Taking a breath, Bai Yu spoke again according to what was in his mind.
"Xiao Chengzi, you have to believe me, you are truly the only one in my heart~"
"Liar! You clearly have three others!"
It was fine if he didn't mention it, but as soon as he did, Mei Terumi became like a lit powder keg, glaring straight at Bai Yu.
"Uh... that's different. I just didn't want to hurt their feelings, which is why I didn't reject them right away. It's all my fault for being too soft-hearted and making you misunderstand. I'll go reject them tomorrow to prove my innocence!"
"Hmph, you don't need to anymore. They all know you have other girlfriends!"
Bai Yu was inwardly shocked. He never expected the beginning to be so dangerous.
But in order to salvage the situation he could still salvage, his gaze immediately became filled with determination again.
"No, for you, even if they beat and scold me, I have to prove my sincerity!"
"Hmph, I don't want to!"
Mei Terumi snorted, but her struggle was much less than before, her cheeks rosy, like a weak and charming cat.
Bai Yu naturally saw that this was her last bit of stubbornness and couldn't help but hold her tighter, making it difficult for Mei Terumi to move at all, only able to quietly exhale.
Seeing this, Bai Yu smiled and gently stroked her long hair, tentatively asking.
"Xiao Chengzi, shall we go back?"
Mei Terumi suddenly looked troubled. She quickly grabbed Bai Yu's collar with both hands and buried her head deep into his chest.
"Bastard... I... I clearly came to break off the engagement!"

Recommending a book that is better written than mine. The book is quite new, but the feeling of Hidden Mist Village is stronger than in my book. Although there are various inconsistencies, the writing is also better than mine.
