Chapter 1 Hello, mistress

The midday sun shone through the leaves on the people sitting on deck chairs in the courtyard, and the chirping of cicadas signaled the heat of midsummer. Yun Shen looked up at the dazzling sunshine, squinting his eyes, only to find that the sun was getting brighter and brighter, until he couldn't keep them open.

When Yun Shen could see clearly again, he was no longer in the small courtyard where he had lived for twenty years. Instead, he was in a void of darkness, and a ball of light gradually approached, accompanied by distant sounds gradually growing clearer.

"Hello, I am System 333. Your body in the original world has died. As long as you bind to me and complete the task, I can resurrect you. If you are not willing to bind, I will find the next host, and you will be wiped out and deleted." 333 spoke in an electronic tone.

Yun Shen looked calmly at 333 and asked, "How did I die?" His tone sounded casual, as if the answer was unimportant.

"It was a sudden death," 333 replied, somewhat guiltily.

Yun Shen raised an eyebrow, looking shocked by the answer. After being a salt fish for twenty years, he didn't expect that someone would arrange such a way for him to die. "Then, I am willing to bind," he said, intrigued.

333 seemed a little taken aback by his swift agreement. "Are you willing?" it asked.

"Didn't you tell me I had no choice?" Yun Shen replied. "Then of course I would choose to live."

333 muttered inwardly, feeling guilty and frustrated, but didn't have time to think. Its energy was about to be drained, so it had to continue. "With the sound of successful binding, Yun Shen looked at the extra hand on his wrist. The electronic sound of 333 also sounded again at this time. "Hello, host, I am your system 333."

"Hello, mistress," Yun Shen responded.

333 was caught off guard by this moniker. "Host, I am 333, not the mistress," it corrected.

"Oh, I understand, mistress," Yun Shen repeated.

333 became increasingly frustrated and eventually gave up trying to correct him, deciding to transmit the plot instead.

As 333's electronic voice sounded, memories poured into Yun Shen's mind that did not belong to him. He learned that the original owner was also named Yun Shen, and he was the young master of the Yun family, the richest man in Wucheng. Despite having a privileged upbringing, Young Master Yun was not satisfied. He felt restricted by his family and wanted to find his own path. He left home, found work as a writer, and even fell in love with a man named Jing Ling. But his family, concerned for his safety, kept him under surveillance and urged him to come home.

Yun Shen wasn't sure what he was thinking as he examined his new appearance in the mirror. He looked completely different from his old self, with soft features, delicate brows, and fair skin. But 333 shook him from his thoughts, transmitting the plot to him.
