V1 Chapter 9: Shenhe, You Didn’t Want Anything Bad Happen to Chongyun Right?

【To obtain the woman named Shenhe, you planned to use all possible means. Through investigating student information, you learned about Chongyun's family background】

【Chongyun was born into a renowned demon-hunting family in Liyue Harbor and possesses an extremely rare Pure Yang body. During his early years, his parents tragically died during a demon-hunting mission. His mother's sister, another member of the family, Shenhe, voluntarily took on the responsibility of being his guardian and raised him. Though she is technically Chongyun's aunt, considering their ages, Shenhe is more like an elder sister to Chongyun】

【Based on the current information, you decided to start pursuing Shenhe through Chongyun】

【Option 1: Pursue Shenhe directly with a vigorous pursuit】

【Option 2: Start with Chongyun and gradually encroach on Shenhe】

Directly pursuing Shenhe? It feels like the hope would be very slim. After all, not to mention the nearly ten-year age difference between the two, the issue of seniority would be difficult to resolve.

I'm sorry, but I'm doing this for the reward...

"I choose the second option."

【You decided to start with Chongyun and quickly formulated a very detailed plan using your intelligence and wit】

【At 15 years old: Leveraging your position as the student council president, you found a group of privileged students in the school and convinced them to assist you in your plan by offering them favors. With a mix of kindness and intimidation, they agreed to your request】

【You had them bully Chongyun, and as expected, due to his gentle nature, he suffered greatly from the bullying. At that moment, you seized the opportunity to intervene and drive away the students tormenting Chongyun. He didn't realize it was a staged act that you all performed together】

【Because of this incident, Chongyun was extremely grateful to you, and you took advantage of this opportunity to become friends with him】

I'm sorry, Chongyun! You wanted to be my good friend... But I want to be your future uncle-in-law!

【Your friendship with Chongyun developed rapidly, and he even invited you to his house. There, you encountered Shenhe again after several years, and her appearance remained as mesmerizing as the first time you saw her, leaving you deeply captivated】

【You noticed that Shenhe showered Chongyun with affection, but she remained cold and distant towards others, including you, even though you had helped Chongyun before. However, this didn't bother you; instead, it further fueled your desire to win her over】

【At 16 years old: Time flew, and you had known Chongyun for a year. He trusted you deeply and even shared some secrets between him and Shenhe with you. For instance, due to his Pure Yang body, he would go berserk if exposed to intense heat, losing control of himself. You planned to use this to win over Shenhe】

【You used the same strategy again, calling upon the troublemakers you once worked with. Over the year, you secretly provided them with benefits and assistance while appearing to be at odds with them as the student council president. However, behind the scenes, your relationship was close】

What a group of rascals! They're like a gang!

If in the previous simulated life, you were just a arrogant and spoiled young master, then in this simulated life, you had completely become a deceptive "good student."

【After school one day, you left with Chongyun, but a group of troublemakers surrounded you. Following your signal, they attacked Chongyun with pepper spray. As expected, the contact with the pepper spray triggered his Pure Yang body, and he went into a wild frenzy, retaliating against the troublemakers】

【After the rampage, Chongyun was incredibly fierce, and the troublemakers were no match for him. They were quickly beaten to the point of severe injuries, lying on the ground in disarray】

【This incident caused an intense reaction, and Chongyun faced not only expulsion but also the possibility of being sent to a correctional facility】

【Upon learning of the situation, Shenhe sought your help. She knew you were the student council president and the principal's son, and if you were willing to intervene, Chongyun's punishment could be reduced】

【Throughout the year, you frequently visited Chongyun's home, meeting Shenhe on numerous occasions. However, you had never seen her this anxious before. Although she wasn't Chongyun's biological mother, the blood ties and her upbringing of him from childhood made her treat him like her own son】

【Sitting behind your desk, instead of immediately dealing with Chongyun's situation, you turned to Shenhe and expressed that you fell in love with her at first sight. Hearing your words, Shenhe seemed to realize something, clenching her lips and asking, "What do you mean?"]】

【Faced with Shenhe's question, your response was...】
