Xiao Wu, seeing Li Tian approaching, falls silent but keeps clinging to Dugu Yan's arm. Li Tian stops right in front of Dugu Yan and kisses her lips. Dugu Yan doesn't resist at all. Instead, she kisses him back even more wildly. A few seconds later, they finally break the kiss.
"Good morning, Yanyan."
"Good morning, husband."
Then Ye Lingling steps closer to Li Tian and gives him the same passionate kiss.
"Morning, Li Tian."
"Morning, Lingling."
Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside Li Tian, smiles softly.
"Good morning, Sister Yan."
"Good morning, Zhuqing."
Li Tian glances around as if looking for someone.
"Yanyan, have Yu Tianheng and the Shi Mo brothers not arrived yet?"
"From what I know, Yu Tianheng and the Shi Mo brothers were drinking last night, so they probably won't show up until noon. I hope those three don't get into trouble, or just wait and see how I'll beat them up."
Li Tian smiles and places a hand on Dugu Yan's shoulder.
"Let it go. Let them have their fun. They're still very young, after all."
"Isn't husband still young too?"
"But I'm already married, so I can release my energy in… other ways."
Dugu Yan's face instantly turns bright red, followed by the other girls. She lightly smacks his shoulder.
"Naughty husband."
Li Tian just grins at her words.
"Alright then, you girls start training first. Those three can catch up later."
Dugu Yan and the others nod in agreement and begin their practice under Li Tian's guidance.
Heaven Dou Noble Academy Male Dormitory
Meanwhile, in one of the rooms of the Heaven Dou Noble Academy male dormitory, Yu Tianheng one of the main team members lies asleep in a complete mess. He dreams, or more accurately, receives memories of how the original Soul Land plot unfolds.
In his dream, he is about to reach the perfect happy ending of his youth: he and Dugu Yan walk hand-in-hand while their friends cheer around them.
"Tianheng! Congratulations on your wedding!"
"May the heavens bless your marriage!"
"Look how handsome young master Tianheng is! Dugu Yan is so lucky to marry him!"
"Dugu Yan is just as beautiful! Tianheng is the truly lucky one!"
All kinds of comments from the crowd fill him with joy. He is certain everyone sincerely blesses his relationship with Dugu Yan.
They walk through the crowd, completing the wedding formalities, until the moment arrives for their kiss. Dugu Yan and Tianheng gaze at each other, radiant smiles on their faces.
"Dugu Yan…"
As he says his bride's name, her cheeks flush.
"Tianheng…"
Their faces slowly draw closer.
But just as he is about to feel Dugu Yan's lips, everything suddenly vanishes the wedding venue, the celebrating crowd, even his bride disappears.
"W-what's happening? Where am I?"
He looks around and finds only endless darkness. He's very confuse for a moment then suddenly he started to panicked and tries everything to escape: running from one end to another, shouting at the top of his lungs, but nothing works. After exhausting every method, he finally collapses in despair, until he suddenly notices a message far away. He runs toward it and finally reads the system notification.
"Tianheng, congratulations on living your dream life. Now wake up to cruel reality."
"What do you mean by 'living my dream life' and 'cruel reality' mean?!"
His vision instantly goes black. Moments later, Yu Tianheng opens his eyes, waking up with a pounding headache.
"Argh… where am I?"
Yu Tianheng, who had been sleeping in a disheveled state, finally sits up. The memories from the original Soul Land plot clash violently with his memories in this world.
Memories where he is no longer close to Dugu Yan instead, she is close to their instructor named Li Tian that doesn't exist in in his another memories from original plot. In this world his memories clearly remembers the first time Dugu Yan met memories, her face was completely enchanted by him. But from his point of view, her face at that moment is the most beautiful picture he ever seen in this memories. Not long after, Dugu Yan began openly flirting with Li Tian in front of everyone just to get his attention. Her protective attitude also grew she would challenge anyone who dared mock Li Tian in her presence.
These memories are excruciating for Yu Tianheng. In the original plot, he struggled so hard to win both Dugu Yan's body and soul, yet in this world, his memories show Dugu Yan practically offering herself to Li Tian on a silver platter.
"AGHH!!! LI TIAN, YOU BASTARD! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU REALLY?! YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN EXIST IN THIS WORLD!"
The memories keep coming until the moment years ago when Dugu Yan publicly declared her marriage to Li Tian, right after Yu Tianheng confessed his feelings to her. That scene is still crystal clear in his mind.
On the academy terrace, Yu Tianheng stood holding flowers, ready to confess.
"Dugu Yan, the first time I met you, my heart felt something beautiful, but I wasn't sure yet. After spending so much time by your side, I finally realize I love you. So, Dugu Yan, will you be mine?"
Everyone cheered for him. Shouts of "Accept him!" echoed throughout the academy. Yu Tianheng's heart soared with joy as he waited for Dugu Yan's "yes." That day could have been one of the best in his life.
But Dugu Yan's answer was different…
"I'm sorry, Tianheng. You're a good man. I can't accept you because I'm already married. I hope you find happiness with another woman."
"W-what? Married? Dugu Yan, you're joking, right?"
Yu Tianheng couldn't believe his ears, and neither could the crowd suddenly everything fell silent.
"You heard correctly, Tianheng. I'm married to Instructor Li Tian. We had a private ceremony, so not many people know. I hope you find someone who suits you."
Dugu Yan turned away with an indifferent expression, as if his confession meant nothing to her.
One of the most unbearable moments for Yu Tianheng in this world.
Now, the transmigrated Yu Tianheng who knows the original plotbfeels the same unbearable pain that the Yu Tianheng of this world felt back then. The agony in his heart is overwhelming.
"No… Dugu Yan…"
Tears slowly roll down his cheeks as he starts sobbing, trying to hold back the torment.
That day, this world's Yu Tianheng's heart dimmed, and his life lost all color. He spent most of his time drowning in alcohol, trying to numb the pain.
And then he had to watch Li Tian and Dugu Yan being openly affectionate kissing in public again and again.
What makes these memories even more painful is the fact that he has never once kissed Dugu Yan himself. The thought alone makes his heart itch with unbearable frustration.
The Yu Tianheng who transmigrated from the original plot feels absolute horror.
"WHAT KIND OF NIGHTMARE IS THIS?!"
The happiness he experienced in the original world makes everything in this one completely unacceptable especially the fact that Dugu Yan now belongs to someone else.
Heaven Dou Noble Academy Main Team Rest Room
While Yu Tianheng is still piecing together the memories of this world in his dorm while screaming in agonies, Dugu Yan rests alone in the main team's lounge while the others continue training.
She lies on the sofa reading an adult romance novel. If she weren't married, a book like this would have made her blush furiously and beat up whoever owned it. But after two years of marriage, sexual topics no longer embarrass her. She can even discuss with anyone openly without turning her face red.
Dugu Yan reads while one hand rests between her legs, gently touching her pussy to feel comfortable but holding back so she doesn't squirt and make the sofa wet. If someone found out it will be embarrassing for her.
Soon, her attention shifts when someone opens the door. It's Li Tian.
The moment Li Tian sits down, Dugu Yan rolls over and looks at him.
"Husband, I want to do it."
Li Tian smiles at her request.
"Alright, let's do it."
