As night fell, darkness gradually enveloped the whole sky, and the last ray of sunshine vanished beyond the horizon. The street lamp was dim and hazy, pouring out a warm yellow light. The light reflected the villa on one side, which was exquisite and gorgeous. At a glance, it looked like a castle from an oil painting.

In a room on the third floor of the villa, a young man in a white suit looked around in surprise.

He was about twenty years old with slightly curled black hair, his skin was clean and fair, and his round, apricot eyes gave people an innocent feeling. His eyelashes were long and dense like two small brushes, and there was a small dimple on his left cheek. He was both handsome and cute, just like the popular puppy type of handsome guy that people liked.

521 lay on his shoulder and looked around. It sighed in awe: “Wow, Senior, this room is so big and beautiful! There’s a bed, a sofa, a carpet, and the lights are also shiny. It looks great, are you living here from now on?”

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile: “Yup yup! From now on, I’ll be living here. I’ll also give you half of the bed, so we can sleep together.”

As a system who just gained human form, Lin Yuan felt that he was an excellent senior system. Of course he should take care of his rookie junior system who was doing his first task.

521 turned around happily in circles and rubbed against Lin Yuan: “Dearest Senior, you’re so good to me, 521 likes you the most~”

The appearance of the system was set as a palm-sized fur ball. 521 was a pink in color, so its whole body was pink and soft with a pair of small white wings on his back. What these fur balls loved to do most was rub against others. Although Lin Yuan had already become human and was not a fur ball anymore, he still liked to do the same. So when 521 came to rub him, Lin Yuan immediately rubbed it back happily.

One person and one fur ball rubbed joyfully, when suddenly a “click” was heard and the door opened.

Lin Yuan and 521 looked towards the door and saw a man in a black suit walk in.

The other party was tall, with beautiful and profound, a temperament as cold as ice, and pale, bloodless skin that had not seen the sun in a long time. His eyes were as dark as a bottomless abyss, where even the brightest ray of sunshine could not enter.

This was Huo Chen…

Lin Yuan’s mission target, this world’s greatest villain. And at the same time, Lin Yuan’s marriage partner.

In the world plot, this world supported same-sex marriage, and the original Lin Yuan was the illegitimate son of Lin Ye’an, a rich man in Cloud City.

When the original owner turned 20, Lin Ye An sent his subordinates to bring him back to the main house, and then not even a month had passed before he was married to Huo Chen, the president of the Huo family. But Huo Chen was originally Lin Yan’s fiance. Who was Lin Yan? This matter was pretty complicated.

Lin Yan was the only child of Lin Ye An’s main wife and the legitimate heir of the Lin family. When he was 18, he and Huo Chen, who had already taken over the Huo family for two years, became engaged. But Lin Yan didn’t have feelings for Huo Chen. He was actually already in love with Huo Chen’s nephew, Huo Huai’an.

During the fourth year of their engagement, Huo Chen had become a well-known figure in the business world. As for Huo Huai’an and Lin Yan, they were deeply engrossed in a sadomasochist love story with the identities of future aunt and nephew, loving each other to death. At some point, Huo Huai’an ran to Huo Chen to ask for permission to approve of his and Lin Yan’s relationship.

Huo Chen only had two words for him: “Get out.”

Huo Huai’an immediately ran to Elder Huo, his grandfather and Huo Chen’s father, to cry. Elder Huo spoiled Huo Huai’an the most, and he was furious at Huo Cheng.

Six years ago, Elder Huo was in a car accident and became seriously injured with both of his legs ending up paralyzed. As a result, everyone thought the Huo enterprise was going to fall, and the rest of the business world became turbulent. At that time, Huo Huai’an was still very young and there was no adult in the Huo family to take responsibility. Elder Huo had no choice but to push out Huo Chen, who had just turned 24.

Huo Chen’s thunderous and capable means soon stabilized the Huo enterprise’s situation. Later, in order to further win over Huo Chen, Elder Huo gave him 15% of Huo’s shares and made a marriage agreement with the Lin Family. He showed to the outside world that he placed great importance on his son, Huo Chen, but in reality, Elder Huo had always disdained this son and only used him as a chess piece. In Elder Huo’s eyes, the Huo family was his property and he could give it to whoever he wanted to. Huo Chen was only used as a temporary guard to slave away for the Huo family until Huo Huai’an was ready to take over.

Now that his precious grandson liked Lin Yan, and even begged Huo Chen for approval, how dare Huo Chen not voluntarily take the initiative to back out of the engagement. He even dared to tell his grandson to get out. Elder Huo was enraged and felt more pity for his grandson. Since Huo Chen had the guts to treat Huai’an like this, then it’d be better if he died.

Elder Huo came forward in person and ordered Huo Chen to withdraw from the engagement and allowed Huo Huai’an and Lin Yan to be together. At the same time, in order to avoid Huo Chen marrying another rich family that could threaten Huo Huai’an’s future, Elder Huo planned to arrange a poor marriage partner for Huo Chen.

As for why Elder Huo chose Lin Yuan, it was thanks to Huo Huai’an’s reminder. Huo Huai’an told Elder Huo that since everyone in the upper circles already knew of the engagement between the Lin and Huo family, suddenly breaking the engagement and the news of Lin Yan and Huo Huai An’s relationship would lead others to gossip. It’d be better to choose someone else from the Lin family for the engagement, and the illegitimate child was the best choice.

In this way, Lin Yuan married Huo Chen.

When Lin Yuan first entered this world, it happened to be his wedding with Huo Chen. He’d just received the plot of the world, bit his finger curiously, and then happily went to get married.

Actually, according to the rules of the Space-Time Management Bureau, hosts transformed from systems typically go to small worlds to play various cannon fodder roles first. Their only task is to maintain character and complete the plot. But somehow, when it came to Lin Yuan, he was directly bound to the Villain Rescue System.

Lin Yuan’s target for his first task was the villain, Huo Chen. A mentally ill villain, one that was really sick, the kind that needed a lot medicine.

Silence surrounded the two people, accompanied by the slight brush of the curtains moving with the wind. The sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor beat rhythmically, unhurriedly, elegant and calm, like a beast patrolling its territory. It brought muted danger and aggression.

Lin Yuan blinked his eyes and looked at Huo Chen, who was gradually approaching. His fingers tensed slightly and he showed a little nervousness.

Huo Chen stopped in front of him and looked at him quietly. His pupils were dark, like icy glass beads.

“Lin Yuan.” Huo Chen called his name with no expression on his face, and his voice was cold like a lake during a winter night.

Lin Yuan had already understood a bit about what kind of person Huo Chen was from the world's plotl. To put it simply, he was a sick person. He tortured Huo Huai’an and Lin Yan to the point of death, but that was all because he was sick.

So what should he do?

After thinking about it, Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up. He should first say something nice. According to his knowledge, all humans liked to listen to nice words. He also liked it. If someone praised him as the cutest and most beautiful fur ball in the Space-Time Management Bureau, he would be happy enough to blow bubbles.

Lin Yuan looked at Huo Chen with a smile, and nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice. “Yup yup! I am Lin Yuan, dear husband. You look so good~ the most most most most good-looking person I’ve ever seen~”
