After Xu Zhao successfully wins over Pei Wendu, she learns that he is going to marry someone else.
Heartbroken, she chooses to fake her death and disappear.
Two years later, the System comes knocking: “Pei Wendu’s corruption level has gone through the roof. The world is about to collapse.”
This time, she deliberately chooses Song Qingci, the easiest target to win over.
At a banquet, Pei Wendu grabs her wrist in front of everyone, madness surging in his eyes. “Come back.”
Song Qingci shields her behind him. “Mr. Pei, please show some restraint.”
Late at night, Pei Wendu climbs in through a window. In a room just one wall away from Song Qingci, he grips Xu Zhao’s chin, his voice hoarse.
“Pretending you don’t know me? Then how do you explain the red mole on your waist?”
She denies everything, wanting only to finish her mission and make a quick escape.
Then the truth comes out, and both men are gravely injured for her sake.
She gives a bitter smile. “System… I think I’ve let things get out of hand this time.”
