Wen Shu moved into her newly renovated home with her parents. After the housewarming party, her mother urged her to take some candy to the neighbors across the hall. She had just stepped out of the spacious apartment she’d bought outright after eight years of work when, in the next instant, flames erupted before her eyes...
She and her parents, along with the entire apartment, were blown sky-high.
When she woke up again, Wen Shu had gone from a young woman in her prime at twenty-eight to a middle-aged man with a beer belly who smoked and drank?
She took a deep breath as she stared into a grime-streaked mirror at the bearded, balding... person? The door creaked open, making her jump. Nearly losing it, she spun around and met the eyes of a small child, who looked about five or six and was timidly peering at her from the doorway.
She heard him say, “Dad.”
Wen Shu immediately collapsed to the floor, silently asking the heavens: Where was her mansion? Where were her parents? What about the thousand-layer pastry she hadn’t finished eating?
The System’s cold voice echoed in her ear: [Dear, they all got blown up.]
Wen Shu’s eyes blazed with fury. She grabbed the wooden stick beside her and was about to swing it at her enemy when the System gently reminded her: [Your mission this time is to play the father of a little villain and save him, so that fifteen years from now the explosion never happens. You’ll save your parents, your spacious apartment, and the wonderful new life you’ve only just begun~]
Wen Shu: “Can I kill you first?”
System: [^_^ I’m afraid I can’t let you get away with that.]
The future little villain stared blankly. He picked up the filthy black cord on the ground and walked over to Wen Shu. “If Dad doesn’t want me, you can do it now. I’m really suffering.”
Wen Shu: “...”
System: [Oh no, he’s trying to strangle you!]
Lin Yunzhou thought the heavens had finally started showing a little kindness to a kid like him, with no real parents.
Until one day, he heard a girl’s voice coming from his father. From the girl’s rambling inner thoughts, he learned that everything was a clumsy script.
He began wanting to know which characters made up “Wen Shu.” He wanted to trap this complete and utter liar at his side forever.
He had asked Wen Shu if she would stay with him for the rest of his life. A liar could always make promises with effortless ease.
He moved close to Wen Shu and said, “Shh, Wen Shu. You’d better remember that I belong to you. When you run away, don’t forget to take me with you.”
