Chapter 468: The Pure-Clad Dark Heir 18

However, Tang Wan wasn’t about to fall for his tricks again.

She pushed against Jiang Yuantong’s chest and said coldly, “No. If you don’t behave, then forget any affection for the next month.”

Jiang Yuantong paused, thinking it over.

In the end, confirming his suspicion mattered more.

“Then one month it is,” he said decisively—

And reached for her again.

Tang Wan’s expression darkened instantly.

The next moment, she kicked him away and said sharply, “You’re not Tongtong. He would never force me like this.”

Jiang Yuantong was slightly surprised.

She had already noticed the difference?

Still, he quickly masked it, adopting a wronged tone. “Madam, why am I not Tongtong? Grandfather said I should stay close to you every night. I’m just listening to him.”

“Don’t push everything onto Grandfather!” Tang Wan snapped. “You remember what he says, but not what I say?”

Jiang Yuantong replied without hesitation, “Grandfather said to listen to Madam during the day—but not necessarily at night.”

Tang Wan: …

That old man really had taught him everything.

“And so?” she said coldly.

“So tonight, I’ll do as I think is right,” he answered, his tone steady.

Tang Wan let out a short, humorless laugh.

This time, she didn’t retreat.

Instead, she stared straight at him.

“You’re not Jiang Yuantong,” she said, her voice firm. “Who are you?”

Jiang Yuantong raised an eyebrow slightly.

“I am your husband,” he replied calmly.

Tang Wan scoffed. “Stop pretending. Tongtong would ask me timidly. He wouldn’t act like this—or speak like this.”

Her gaze sharpened.

“If you don’t step away now, I’ll call someone.”

This time, Jiang Yuantong didn’t push further.

After a brief pause, he moved back, his expression unreadable.

“But I am him,” he said quietly. “Who else do you think I could be?”

“You’re just a shameless rogue,” Tang Wan replied coldly.

She turned, lit the candle, and faced him again.

In the flickering light, the difference was unmistakable.

The same face—

But not the same person.

The Jiang Yuantong she knew during the day was innocent, straightforward, almost childlike.

The man before her now…

His gaze was steady, his presence sharper—tinged with something darker, more dangerous.

Tang Wan narrowed her eyes.

So—

She had been right.

Chapter 1: Got Dumped on the Day of the Wedding

 Translator's Note Before we begin—I'll just take a moment of your time! 🌸 I know this is a bit of a wall of text to encounter before the actual novel, so I'll keep it simple: please take a moment to read this first so you know what to expect from this translation. After this chapter, you can happily skip these notes unless there's something new I need to mention. I promise I won't make you read this before every chapter. 😂 I'm sharing this translation simply because I translated this novel for myself, enjoyed it, and thought that perhaps other readers with similar tastes might enjoy it too. I'm a huge fan of quick-transmigration (快穿) novels, especially the kind where the protagonist is already extremely capable—or becomes overpowered very quickly—and gets to go through different worlds, counterattack, face-slap, and generally make life difficult for people who deserve it. I usually don't gravitate toward QT novels that focus heavily on favorabi...

Chapter 2: Does It Matter If I Am Gay?

When the male makeup artist heard Tang Wan’s words, he was immediately stunned. The others around him looked at him with envy, wishing Tang Wan would casually point at them instead. That was five billion! After a while, the male makeup artist finally reacted. His face flushed red as he asked, “Is it okay if I’m gay?” “It doesn’t matter if you’re gay or anything else. As long as you hold a wedding with me, the five billion will be yours!” Tang Wan said. “I agree!” he replied excitedly, nodding desperately. Tang Wan snapped her fingers when she heard this. “Okay! You guys, hurry up and change his clothes and fix his styling!” Hah! Did they really think she absolutely had to marry Sun Wu? Three-legged toads were hard to find, but there were plenty of two-legged men in the world! ... Hearing Tang Wan’s words, the others immediately got busy, pressing the temporary groom into a chair while applying makeup and changing him into a suit. Half an hour later, Tang Wan wor...

Chapter 4: Diablo 1

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately understood that this was a name given by the host, and the system had to accept it! Seeing this, she couldn’t help looking at Little Cutie dangerously. “Little Cutie, did you do that on purpose just now?” If she had agreed to call it the Daddy System, wouldn’t she have to call a little kid “Dad” forever? Hearing Tang Wan’s words, Little Cutie felt guilty for a second, but still said confidently: “I was originally called the Daddy System! I didn’t lie to you!” “I think it’s actually called the 88 System, right?” Tang Wan exposed him with a single glance. Upon hearing this, Little Cutie immediately stiffened his neck and said: “Yes! Doesn’t 88 sound like ‘Dad’?” Tang Wan was speechless. Did systems also play word games now? At that moment, Little Cutie was afraid Tang Wan would continue dwelling on the name issue, so he immediately urged: “Since the binding is complete, let’s head to the mission world now!” “Now entering the no...
