[Completed. Bonus extra chapter updated at 18:00 on March 4] [Welcome to the Love-Brain System! Player guidelines: Do not use villains to smash people into walls. Do not use force to make characters confess their love. Our mission is to spread love and peace, and win over every villain with love, ] After being betrayed by his companions and killed, Mochizuki Akihiko, once a top mafia boss, came back to life with an impassive expression. He looked at the pile of rules targeting him, then at the police uniform he was wearing. All he could do was feign composure, stick his hands in his pockets, and try to blend in among the cops. After he stood there with his hands in his pockets for ages, the companion beside him quietly and tactfully pointed out that the pockets on his uniform were sewn shut. Mochizuki Akihiko had noticed a while ago, but was too embarrassed to say anything. “...Do you really have to point that out? Say one more word and I’ll smash you into, ” “Into?” Mochizuki Akihiko took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and spoke through his humiliation. “Into my heart.” “...” - Furuya had a troublesome subordinate. He had picked him from among hundreds of new recruits, only to discover on his first day that Mochizuki Akihiko had no firm ideals or convictions as a public security officer. But that was fine. His subordinate was a hopeless romantic through and through, so even without firm convictions, he could carry out undercover missions perfectly. At Café Poirot “The boss asked if I wanted to become an executive. I pretended to be completely unfazed and turned him down without hesitation.” Furuya smiled as he tied on his apron. “And then?” “Then Dazai burst out laughing beside me and taunted me by asking if I wanted to be the boss.” “So?” “So my heart started racing, and my temperature went up, ” “Mochizuki, speak plainly.” “He was so handsome, I couldn’t help myself.” “...” The public security officer beamed, then calmly took back the sandwich he had just given him. As for why he still hadn’t been killed as cannon fodder, his “genius” subordinate explained, “The boss thinks there’s something wrong with my head. He seems more bothered by the fact that I think Dazai is more handsome than he is.” Listening to the [HP +1 +1] prompts, Mochizuki Akihiko, now well practiced at using the System, took a sip of tea and continued with perfect composure: “He cares about my health. He loves me so much.” [Furuya Rei’s Impression -1] [HP +1] I respect it, but I don’t understand it. I could have sworn this guy used to be cocky and cool. He wasn’t like this. - Mochizuki Akihiko had an innocent-looking face. As a key figure in the Port Mafia, it took him only a year to step into the spotlight and become a household-name movie star, a window onto the world of light. He knelt on one knee, swore his allegiance, and kissed the boss’s hand. Back then, nobody in the entire Port Mafia could have imagined Mochizuki Akihiko, the diamond personally picked up by the boss, had ambitions of swallowing the entire underworld. *2023.10.13. *The cover and character profile were commissioned for private commercial use. *No couples in the main story; the bonus chapters have different endings. Check out my upcoming novel: Can I Inherit Your Wife? Shen Fengshu, a professional villain in a novel, opened his eyes again and found himself the protagonist of a comic. In this comic, as Pei Jing’s fiance, he was not only destined to be abused in body and mind, but also had to shamelessly tell Pei Jing he loved him every single day. Shen Fengshu: ... Shen Fengshu: Men... ugh... I love... ugh... Shen Fengshu played dumb during the day, then took people’s brake pads off at night. Unfortunately, the plot’s force of inevitability was too powerful, and every attempt ended in failure. Shen Fengshu stared for a while at the wreckage of a car that had nothing left but the driver’s seat, then turned to superstition. Amitabha. May that idiot Pei Jing hurry up and die. - As head of the Pei family, Pei Jing was taciturn and gloomy, but fell in love with Shen Fengshu at first sight. In Pei Jing’s eyes, Shen Fengshu always looked pale. Even while hugging a trash can and throwing up, he would still smile and tell Pei Jing he loved him, his voice trembling. Shen Fengshu was devastated when Pei Jing somehow survived the car crash. He covered his face with his hands and wept with worry. Shen Fengshu prayed to the gods and Buddha, asking only that Pei Jing stay safe wherever he went. He even sewed a little good-luck doll for Pei Jing by hand on his birthday. Pei Jing thought everything about Shen Fengshu was adorable, but his friends A, B, and C just sneered, claiming they had seen right through him Friend A: “That money-grubbing dog Shen Fengshu! He’s only interested in your money. Jing, you’ll be finished if you fall for it!” Friend B: “With Shen Fengshu’s personality, he can’t even be bothered to take a step unless you’re being nice to him. If you tell him you like him now, won’t he start taking advantage of you tomorrow and demand you carry him out of bed?” Friend C: “You’re so young. Why rush into settling down with someone? Shen Fengshu loves you so much, he’ll marry you once you’ve had your fun!” Despite Pei Jing’s success at such a young age, an accident left him forever frozen in his twenties. He became a lonely ghost no one could see. Even in his final moments, he wondered: Would Shen Fengshu be sad when he found out? He hadn’t even confessed his feelings to Shen Fengshu yet. - At the funeral held by the Pei family, Shen Fengshu wore a black veil. His face was pale, and his eyes, which were always full of love, lowered beneath the deep shadows cast by his long lashes. Pei Jing’s friends began blaming Shen Fengshu for being a jinx. They shunned and bullied him, saying they had to keep a close eye on him so he wouldn’t bring misfortune to anyone else. That was when things started to take a strange turn. The day after the funeral, at Pei Jing’s grave, Friend A said, “A gold digger? That’s exactly what I want! I’m so rich, money’s all I have left. If Shen Fengshu gave me even a little of his love, I’d be the happiest person in the world.” The second day after the funeral, at Pei Jing’s grave, Friend B said, “Taking advantage of me? That’s exactly what I want! If Shen Fengshu married me, I wouldn’t just carry him around. I’d hold him while he ate, hold him while he bathed. He wouldn’t have to touch the ground for a single moment, twenty-four hours a day.” The third day after the funeral, at Pei Jing’s grave, Friend C said, “Shen Fengshu is young and easy to deceive. The thought of someone tricking him into leaving me keeps me up at night. Jing, you can go in peace. I confessed my feelings to Shen Fengshu. I’ll take care of him for the rest of my life, and we’re getting married tomorrow.” Pei Jing: ... Pei Jing ground his teeth and began trying to remove his friends’ brake pads, wondering how he could drag them down to hell with him. - After Pei Jing died, Shen Fengshu’s life gradually got better. On the seventh day after Pei Jing’s death, Shen Fengshu reflected on how unpredictable life was, then climbed into bed, feeling pleased with himself and ready for a good night’s sleep. As soon as the lights went out, a shadow appeared beside the bed. The shadow spoke in a hollow voice, with a hint of gritted teeth. Shen Fengshu looked up and met those familiar eyes. The shadow said, “Shen Fengshu, if you dare cheat on me, I’ll strangle you.” Shen Fengshu: ... Oh no. Pei Jing was in the same line of work as him. Even death couldn’t get rid of him. Shen Fengshu kept a blank face and rolled over, pretending to be deaf and blind. He giggled under the covers. Heh. That idiot Pei Jing had finally realized the anniversary gift Shen Fengshu had given him was a little voodoo doll. His resentment was so strong that he had become a ghost just to keep haunting him. - He couldn’t hit him. He couldn’t out-insult him. The memorial tablet dedicated to Pei Jing cracked. In the second year after his death, Pei Jing was so infuriated by his beloved fiance that he crawled back out of hell. Theme: Love can create anything!
