I took over Shen Mubai’s body to complete the System’s assigned conquest mission. After ten years, the mission ended in failure.
Huo Yan was my target, so I resented him for not living up to everything I had put into it.
As we parted, I asked him for a divorce, never expecting to be locked in a villa.
In the end, Huo Yan let me go.
For a brief time, I had a life of my own, and I wished him a future free from the System and the constraints of the original world.
Huo Yan’s perspective:
He actually wants to divorce me!
So when he stopped pretending, it meant he didn’t love me anymore.
I couldn’t accept it.
I didn’t understand. I truly didn’t understand. How had everything gone wrong when it had been fine?
Didn’t he love me? Didn’t he like me?
Why?
Before, I couldn’t accept his sudden love. I always felt there was a huge trap beneath its beautiful surface, and the longer it went on, the deeper my doubts grew.
It was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over my head. I never knew what day it would fall.
Theme: Live freely
So, will he die in the end? I'm actually hoping to see him die. If he doesn't, it means Huo is finally completely devoted to the relationship; he's probably still hesitant right now. If he doesn't die, then all his current behavior will eventually revert to his usual tantrums and spoiled behavior.
