Silver Blade

On my birthday six years after marriage, I leaped from a tall building.
Returning to the original world, I began living the life I had always dreamed of.
With a house, a car, and money, I could travel anytime and anywhere, which delighted me endlessly.
Until one day, the voice of the system appeared in my mind again.
"The villain is starting to turn dark again. Host, do you want to go back this time? There is still a generous reward."
At that moment, I did not know that the villain in another world was also waiting for my answer.
I looked gleefully at the bonfire that I had only ever seen in books, and slowly spoke.
"Not even a dog would go back—"


On the Sixth Wedding Anniversary I Gave Up Continuing to Strategize Against the Villain

Today is the sixth anniversary of my marriage to Chen Yu, yet he hasn't come back even after the dishes on the table have gone cold.


I looked at my phone and saw that Chen Yu's first love, Gu Qing, had updated her social media moments.


In the nine-photo grid, there were flowers, gourmet food, and a hand wearing a Rolex but no wedding ring.


The caption read, "Lost and found. Turns out, you were still waiting for me on the road."


I recognized the mole on the middle finger in the photo and realized that it was my husband's hand.


So the reason he missed our six-year wedding anniversary was that his first love returned.


I looked at the cold meal on the table, tears welling up in my eyes.


Actually, I'm not from this world. Ten years ago, I bound with a system and traveled here to win over Chen Yu, the antagonist.


By then, the male and female leads were already successfully together.


When I traveled over, Chen Yu had just seen the leads kissing, drowning his sorrows in alcohol outside.


He was about to be hit by a car crossing the road when I pulled him back.


In this world, my identity is that of an orphan. After meeting Chen Yu, I comforted him for a long time.


Because he vied for the female lead, the male lead and Chen Yu were at odds for a long time.


Until the male lead won the female lead's trust, the male lead also defeated Chen Yu.


After they went to college, Chen Yu's academics and career both hit rock bottom.


To win him over, I tirelessly helped him review, manage his business affairs, and even soothed his emotions.


Watching the strategy points go up bit by bit, I was extremely happy.


Not just because the strategy was beginning to succeed, but also because there's a joy in my heart.


Six years ago, Chen Yu graduated from a top 3 university, succeeded in his career, and proposed to me.


Whether in academics, career, or love, he had it all.


Every night when we were together, after our breathless moments, he would lean on my shoulder and look into my eyes.


He said, "Qiao Xue, I will definitely give you a good life."
