Chapter 25: Diablo 22

In the original plot, Yun Nuan had recently encountered Tang Yitong after he fainted from hunger and bought him some food, which earned some of his gratitude.

Later, after learning about Tang Yitong’s situation, she occasionally continued helping him.

Whenever he was too poor to afford food and could only drink water to fill his stomach, Yun Nuan would always give him a bit of warmth and kindness.

Because of this, Tang Yitong eventually came to see Yun Nuan as the only warmth in his dark world.

But later, Yun Nuan ended up together with the noble young master Lu Yi.

After Lu Yi appeared, Yun Nuan stopped paying attention to Tang Yitong altogether, which caused the darkness and resentment in Tang Yitong’s heart to twist even further.

Because Lu Yi specialized in biology, Tang Yitong created the virus in order to prove that he was superior to him.

Then he released the virus on the day of Lu Yi and Yun Nuan’s wedding.

...

“Host, this Yun Nuan doesn’t look nearly as pretty as you!” Little Cutie suddenly commented.

“Of course. In stories like this, heroines usually have a pure and innocent appearance so their kindness and flawlessness stand out. Meanwhile, the supporting female characters are usually much more gorgeous and beautiful,” Tang Wan replied.

Still, thinking about it made her depressed.

In reality, even if her appearance couldn’t be described as world-shaking, she was absolutely stunning enough to turn heads everywhere she went.

Combined with her enormous wealth, she was practically a perfect life winner.

And yet, even with conditions like hers, she still couldn’t keep a man.

This ridiculous fate of hers was truly terrifying.

Thinking about it, Tang Wan suddenly froze internally before hurriedly asking Little Cutie:

“Wait! Little Cutie... my cursed fate won’t extend into the mission worlds too, right? I only just raised Tang Yitong’s favorability to seventy-two points, and suddenly this heroine appears! She’s not going to steal him from me, is she?”

With her terrible fate, even if the heroine did absolutely nothing, Tang Yitong might still naturally drift toward her.

...

Hearing Tang Wan’s concerns, Little Cutie hurriedly comforted her.

“Host, you don’t understand! The villain is different from ordinary people! He won’t be easily stolen away! Besides, his heart’s already half rotten—how could he be easily charmed by the heroine? Even in the original plot, Yun Nuan only gained a tiny amount of his favor at the beginning. But you’re different! You and the villain already share a life-and-death bond!”

Only after hearing this did Tang Wan relax slightly.

Then she muttered silently:

“You know Tang Yitong’s heart is black, yet you still found me a husband like this!”

It wasn’t that she disliked Tang Yitong.

Rather, after observing him these past few days, she realized that this guy was truly frightening.

Tang Yitong wasn’t an ordinary person at all.

His patience, self-control, and acting skills were absurdly terrifying. If there were Oscars for pretending, he could probably win a hundred trophies.

Whether it was deliberately running errands obediently or making himself invisible inside the Tang family, he handled everything flawlessly.

No one could ever tell what he was truly thinking.

Even Tang Wan herself could only know about his emotional changes through the system.

After hearing Tang Wan’s complaints, Little Cutie suddenly sounded aggrieved.

“It’s not that I deliberately found you this kind of husband! It’s because the villain’s fate matches yours perfectly, okay? You’re my precious daughter, of course I wanted to give you the best man in the world—”

“Hm? What did you just say?” Tang Wan interrupted coldly through gritted teeth.

“N-Nothing! The main system just released a new game update! I’m going to download it first! Bye!”

The moment the words fell, Little Cutie instantly fled.
