After failing to win over the wicked female supporting character for who knows how many times, Ren Ling'an finally gave up completely.
The System earnestly begged him to try one more time. He dug a finger in his ear and said it was too hot to bother moving.
The System said, “Bro! Big bro! My very best big bro! Please, just try to win her over! If you succeed this time, we won't have to die!”
Ren Ling'an smiled faintly. “Why bother winning her over? It'd be much more satisfying to die together with her.”
Give up, and give up hard.
That day, the snow fell heavily, and the howling wind sent flakes swirling against people's faces.
Ren Ling'an thought he hated Shen Yuan to death. But the day her beloved framed her and she was forced into prison clothes, he carefully gathered the pale-faced Shen Yuan in his arms and told her just how much he loved her.
