Chapter Summaries

Ye Shiyu awoke from a nightmare about becoming Yan Huan’s sister and, with Ye Lan away, let him wait out the rain in her room. As the night grew quieter, she explained why she writes her name on her belongings, then fell asleep before he could answer her question about Hitomi Sakuramiya.

• Meow-chan sensed Ye Shiyu was about to lose another Modifier fragment, but the phone lit up with a purple vortex and the shattering stopped as Ye Shiyu woke from her nightmare.

• Ye Shiyu asked whether Yan Huan liked Hitomi Sakuramiya, but fell asleep before he could answer; Yan Huan wished her good night.

Ye Shiyu woke to Yan Huan’s good-night note and asked her mother what it meant to like him, while Yan Huan ran the Study Group’s first meeting with Spencer and Bai Yi. The meeting ended with Spencer plotting to use one of her remaining chances to make Yan Huan fall for her on Thursday.

Tong Yingying’s attempt to promote the Tavern ended when her cigarette got Yan Huan’s livestream banned, though the broadcast had already brought in a surge of orders. At Ye International, Ye Lan helped Ye Shiyu understand that she needed to learn about Xiao Huan and care for him rather than compete for his attention, and Ye Shiyu resolved to get closer to him while protecting herself.

• Tong Yingying entered Yan Huan’s livestream, silencing the gift barrage, and Yan Huan disabled gifts while explaining that the stream was meant to promote the Tavern.

• Ye Shiyu recognized that she had ignored Xiao Huan’s interests and life, and told Ye Lan she would get to know him properly while also protecting herself.

Yan Huan learned how Modifier fragments strengthened distinct abilities and decided to focus on Spencer, whose passive power could plunder things others valued. He named his counterattack the Spencer Subjugation Plan, while Spencer looked forward to interfering with Yan Huan and Bai Yi’s music-video discussion the next day.

• Yan Huan discussed the five Modifiers with Meow-chan and learned that their fragments had different effects, including Spider Silk’s life-review warning and Snake Scale’s avatar enhancement.

• After lunch, the Study Group's members struggled through the session, and Little Finger remained confused when Spencer showed no obvious reaction to the potion.
• Little Finger realized Spencer might be the host of Thumb, whose resistance could distort the potion's timing and effects, and urged An Le to find her; An Le left to search for Spencer.
• Yan Huan arranged to meet Bai Yi at a milk tea shop, then encountered Spencer in the club building, where she mocked him and used her taunt skill.
• The potion's effects surged through Spencer, weakening her and making Yan Huan's angry approach seem terrifying as he reached toward her.
