In his previous life, there had been a trend of keeping internet clowns as electronic pets.
In Chen Mu's eyes, the current Ye Chen was no different from an electronic pet.
With Chen Mu's strength, killing Ye Chen would naturally have taken mere moments.
He only kept him alive to see how a protagonist stripped of his Child of Fortune status would court death, step by step.
It was far more miserable than he had imagined.
Even the female lead left him and broke things off completely. And now she's entering the palace to become my maid?
Chen Mu could understand why Qin Xuanji had arranged things this way.
As the Crown Prince, he certainly needed people to attend to him.
If she didn't choose beautiful palace maids, was she supposed to choose a bunch of handsome men?
Or... eunuchs?
Chen Mu would find that even harder to bear. Their shrill voices alone made his scalp prickle and raised goosebumps all over him whenever he heard them.
Thinking of it that way, he saw nothing wrong with Qin Xuanji's decision and supported it with both hands and feet raised.
"You've seemed to be in a good mood for a while now." Chen Juexin placed a peeled shrimp in Chen Mu's bowl as she asked, "What happened? Tell your big sister and let me share in the joy."
"Nothing. I just thought how wonderful it was to sit down and enjoy a peaceful meal with you like this, sis," Chen Mu replied.
"Did you sneak some honey? You're talking so sweetly." As Chen Juexin teased him, she picked up another large boiled shrimp and peeled it for him.
Chen Mu divided his attention between enjoying the food and chatting with Chen Juexin, all while keeping an eye on his "electronic pet,"
