In a world where might was magic, it was a crime to be a noble and magicless. And for this crime, the punishment was death. I grew up frail, bullied by my older siblings, but I thought I could finally turn things around on my sixteenth birthday, when as a noble I was supposed to awaken my magical abilities. The awakening orb, however, turned grey—and condemned me a dud. My father, a duke, could not believe he had fathered such a pathetic specimen. Calling me cursed, he ordered my death and had me thrown into a raging river. I hit the water hard. For a moment I lost consciousness, certain I would never wake again. But some time later, I opened my eyes to the agony of drowning, my body battered by the current. In front of me floated a curious blue sheet of light. [Base Trait: Deathless Acquired] [Condition met: You have experienced death.] [You can sustain injury, drowning, burning, poisoning, and all forms of bodily destruction—but you will not die. Pain and damage will persist until fully healed.] Thus began my journey—gaining outrageous traits from the suffering that seemed determined to follow me wherever I went.

# unconventional This was the era when everyone was playing online games. When everyone entered the game, they could choose their own talents. While everyone was choosing melee classes like warriors, assassins and bowmen, Wu Yan chose the already less favored mage class. He also awakened the most powerful talent - Attribute Looting. [Player “Wu Yan” has killed a hedgehog bug. Please choose the attributes of the monster to be looted.] [Attribute 1: Defense +1 point] [Attribute 2: Life +1 point] [Attribute 3: Counter Damage +1 percent] Wu Yan started the game with counter damage. He upgraded his counter damage to 100% of the incoming damage. Then, he began to build up life points and practice minor healing spells. ... A player exclaimed, “What happened? Why is it that I landed a critical hit with my saber, but I was the one who was instantly killed instead?” Another player warned, “Of all the mages in the world, he is the only one that you shouldn’t get close to!” The other player wondered, “Is he a meat shield? How can he have even more health than my warrior?”

At twenty-six, Ariana Cole thought landing a position at New York’s elite corporate law firm, Hawthorne & Vale, would finally put her life on track. Instead, it places her directly in the path of Dorian Hale — the firm’s youngest senior attorney, known for his impossible wins, cold composure, and a reputation sharp enough to silence entire rooms. He’s calculating. Controlled. Dangerous in ways Ariana can’t quite explain. And somehow, he keeps appearing exactly when her world begins falling apart. What starts as reluctant partnership slowly turns into something far more complicated: late nights, dangerous trust, and a connection Ariana never meant to depend on. But in a world where billion-dollar deals are built on lies, trust is the most expensive mistake a person can make. When a corporate scandal destroys Ariana’s career, reputation, and personal life overnight, every finger points toward Dorian Hale — the one man she trusted most. Now trapped in a brutal game of manipulation, legal warfare, and revenge, Ariana must decide how far she’s willing to go to uncover the truth… even if the truth destroys what remains of her heart. Because at Hawthorne & Vale, nobody survives by staying innocent. And the most dangerous people rarely look like villains.

This female supporting character was a complete love-brain—every day she only wanted to chase after the male lead, becoming the male god’s devoted simp. In the end, she was eliminated early as cannon fodder and died young. When Sheng Sheng transmigrated into the story, it just so happened that the original male lead sent her a message: “I just want to play the game alone. Don’t follow me anymore. It’s really annoying.” According to the original plot, next the cannon-fodder female supporting character should cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide—doing anything to cling to the male lead. Sheng Sheng thought for a moment, suddenly realized something, and replied: “If you contact me again, you’re my third grandson.” Then she blocked him, reported him, and completed the three-hit combo of basic decency in one seamless package. Looking at the bright red exclamation mark after the chat window, the original male lead: “???” ______ Earth OL players all felt that the game had to be bugged. “I want to report this! How can a healer solo a five-man dungeon?!” “I want to report too! This healer can pin an assassin down in PvP—she’s definitely cheating!” GM: After investigation, this player shows no abnormal behavior. All players in the game: Having no abnormalities is the biggest abnormality, okay?! As the only healer in the entire game who possesses attack skills, Sheng Sheng quietly hides her achievements and fame. “Why be a simp? Play the game seriously, earn tons of money, climb to the peak of life, and keep a little wolfdog—doesn’t that sound good?” A certain little wolfdog: “Keep me. I’m very cheap. I can even pay you instead.” Sheng Sheng: “…Promise me one thing. Don’t be a simp.” ______ Notes from the Author / Reading Guide 1V1, HE, sweet and爽 (feel-good) story Feel-good novel, feel-good novel, feel-good novel — important things are said three times The author’s brain is not the same as a normal person’s and refuses treatment A self-indulgent work written to survive a reading slump.
