The Ending Would Be Rewritten by Him

"Yes! An S-Class Goddess is a rare Goddess. If the host successfully wins her over, there will be plenty of rewards!"

"But I don't even know her name. How am I supposed to win her over?"

"That will require the host's own efforts. Everything about her is unknown, including Heart-Throb Score notifications."

"How can I tell whether she's my target without a Heart-Throb Score?"

"The host can view the Unknown Goddess's progress bar under the Goddess conquest section. As long as the progress bar changes, it's essentially the same as the Heart-Throb Score. It just won't provide immediate feedback, which increases the difficulty of the conquest."

Shen Qingling opened the panel and took a look. The Unknown Goddess's progress bar was already at eight percent, which meant that person had probably seen everything he had done at the banquet and developed some favorable feelings toward him.

Though that favorability was pitifully low.

The Heart-Throb Scores Fang Qingran had for him today were probably all higher than eight...

It seemed she was not a woman who fell for someone easily.

That made sense. The higher the level, the harder the conquest must be. At least it would be challenging.

So... who could she be?

There had to be several hundred people at today's banquet. How was he supposed to narrow them down?

Shen Qingling frowned, stopping to look around. His gaze settled on the nearest door.

"Are all the rooms here guest rooms? Then let's go with this one."

"I'm sorry, sir, but this is President Sheng's office. The guest rooms are farther ahead."

"Oh."

President Sheng... there was only one President Sheng in the Sheng Family.

Sheng Xia's older sister, Sheng Mo.

Could it be her?

Shen Qingling remembered that, when he had read the book, the Original Work had not described Sheng Mo very much.

He could count her appearances on one hand. It was either about Sheng Corporation's accomplishments or her faint dislike and disdain for Gu Yijin.

In the Original Work, Sheng Mo had not been very satisfied with her younger sister's marriage alliance. However, since it had been arranged by their parents and the Gu Family had influence, she had not said much for the sake of cooperation.

Yet she had never shown Gu Yijin a pleasant face. She had even told Sheng Xia that Gu Yijin was not as good as he appeared, causing Sheng Xia to become suspicious of him. Gu Yijin had held a grudge over it ever since.

He not only wanted everything the Gu Family possessed, but also secretly coveted the Sheng Family's wealth and tried to brainwash Sheng Xia.

But Shen Qingling did not know what the final outcome had been.

Because he had not finished reading it...

Damn it. If he had known he would transmigrate into this book, he should have read it from beginning to end dozens of times!

Unfortunately, regretting it now was meaningless.

The ending of this book would be rewritten by him.

"Sir? Sir, are you all right?"

The attendant called out to him twice when he did not respond.

Shen Qingling held his forehead, frowning in discomfort. "I'm fine. Let's go."

The attendant helped Shen Qingling to the guest room, thoughtfully supporting him all the way to the bedside.

After falling onto the bed, Shen Qingling tugged at the tie around his neck.

"Would you like me to help you take off your clothes?"

"No. You can leave."

"All right. Please rest first. I'll come wake you before the banquet ends."

"Mm."

The attendant walked out and closed the door, even locking it from the outside to keep Shen Qingling from leaving.

Only after looking around cautiously did he take out his phone and quickly send a message.

He's in the room. Come quickly.

Received.

Gu Yijin received the message as well. Learning that Shen Qingling had obediently walked into his trap, he picked up the Red Wine beside him and took a sip, revealing a confident smile.

Gu Yijin had not directly arranged for a female attendant to approach Shen Qingling.

Although sending a woman in from the start might have gone more smoothly—once Shen Qingling lost his mind, she could simply enter—the prerequisite was that Shen Qingling would follow that woman.

Gu Yijin knew Shen Qingling was famously aloof and abstinent. He would be wary of women.

If a female attendant had approached Shen Qingling from the beginning, he probably would not have come upstairs at all.

So, after the male attendant successfully brought Shen Qingling upstairs, he would send another woman into the room. The result would be the same anyway.

The moment the attendant left, Shen Qingling, who was lying on the bed, immediately opened his eyes.

He got up and hid behind the door, listening to the sounds outside.

The effects of the drug in his body were growing stronger and stronger. He could only grit his teeth and endure.

For the points, he had to endure!

He had to admit, the drug Gu Yijin had obtained was truly potent. He must have visited places like that quite often.

The veins on Shen Qingling's forehead had bulged from enduring it. His mouth was dry, his body was getting hotter and hotter, and a fire surged through him. It burned more fiercely by the second, and he feared that one careless moment would make him lose control.

Fortunately, he had 077 as a cheat and would not completely lose his mind. Otherwise, he would not have dared to truly play along with Gu Yijin like this.

Before long, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Shen Qingling's eyes turned dangerous.

A female attendant walked in. Before she could react, Shen Qingling knocked her out cold.

Looking at the woman sprawled on the floor, he sneered. With looks like that, she wanted to sleep with him? Dream on.

He searched the woman and, after finding her phone, switched it off.

Shen Qingling peered through the crack in the door. The attendant outside was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Qingling guessed that he had gone downstairs to prepare to bring people up.

If Shen Qingling had truly been drugged and lay here unconscious, the next step would definitely be for this woman to do some unspeakable things to him, leaving obvious marks on his body before letting out a scream to attract attention.

Once the attendant brought everyone upstairs, she would then turn the accusation around and claim Shen Qingling had raped her, making everyone believe he was a rapist who went into heat regardless of the setting.

Gu Yijin's plan was low, but it was also truly vicious. By then, even if Shen Qingling explained himself, it would be useless.

Whether people believed he had been framed or not, once they saw him in such a disheveled state, his image would already be utterly ruined.

Sometimes, the truth did not matter. Gu Yijin understood that too. As long as the photos were leaked, Shen Qingling would have a hard time making a comeback.

Would the Gu Family still acknowledge him as their biological son then? Given Gu Chenwang's temperament, probably not.

He wanted Shen Qingling to lose his reputation before everyone's eyes? Heh, that little trick was nowhere near enough.

Shen Qingling walked over to the mirror and mussed up his hair, then loosened his clothes. His face bore an unnatural flush, his entire body was burning hot, and his eyes were unfocused. One look was enough to tell he was not in a normal state.

Only after finishing all that did he open the door and walk out.

Following his memories, he arrived outside Sheng Mo's door and pushed it open without hesitation.

Luckily, the door was not locked.

The room was dark, with only a dim yellow floor lamp casting light over the woman.

She stood by the window, seemingly lost in thought. Hearing the sound, she assumed it was one of her subordinates coming to report on work, though ordinarily no one would barge in like this.

She turned around, frowned, and looked over.

"Who is it? Don't you know how to knock?"
