"The System told me to change the fate of that gloomy, obsessive young heir to a financial empire.
I accepted gladly, seeing it as a challenging observational study."
After Cheng Jianwei died, she was bound to a "redemption System."
Mission objective: Stop Lu Chen, who is destined to become the master of a business empire and meet his end in loneliness, from turning dark.
Reward: A chance to be reborn.
Cheng Jianwei smiled. She had no interest in being reborn, but she was filled with scholarly enthusiasm for "solving" this high-difficulty emotional puzzle.
After being reborn, she disguised herself as the very light he longed for: warm, clever, and seemingly within reach.
She approached him calmly, analyzed him, and used carefully crafted words and actions to draw him out of the abyss, step by step.
Lu Chen fell for her, just as a deep-sea fish swims toward the only source of light.
Then, on graduation night, pressure from his family came crashing down. Cheng Jianwei quickly finished her calculations, stroked the reddened corners of his eyes, and spoke as gently as if singing him a lullaby:
"Lu Chen, you have to learn to need no one."
She left without looking back, deleting all the "experimental data."
Three years later, at an internet summit, he had become the sharpest blade in the world of finance.
Cheng Jianwei, now a tech queen, was chatting and laughing with others.
The newly appointed CEO made a grand entrance, surrounded by admirers. It was Lu Chen.
He took the professional right hand she held out to him. His gaze locked onto her like an abyss, though his voice was as soft as a whisper:
"Director Cheng, long time no see."
"Is your new research subject... still me?"
