Genius of the Rules-Style System

Question: Given that Lin Xiaoqing can lift an 80-jin item, how much arm strength does Xiaoqing have? Answer: Left arm 49 jin, right arm 67 jin. Question: Given that one plus one equals two, what is the result of 491 multiplied by 709? Answer: 348119. Others' logic is deduction; mine is cause and effect. No matter how difficult the problem, the answer is already obvious when it is posed. This synopsis is too short to describe the story. An unorthodox jaw-dropping science fiction of a top-scoring student. Welcome to immerse yourself in it.

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom. Edgar Allan Poe

Seriously a poetic masterpiece! I don't think I've ever read such good poetry by somebody so unknown. You're seriously gonna be the next Edgar Allan Poe or something, I swear! I wish my poetry was like half as good as yours. I bet you'll make it big somewhere, someday!

A great read and definitely a very unique writing style. Reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe. The author stays true to their MC. Every sentence, every scene is steeped with a distinct tension and atmosphere. The novel is very immersive. Updates are stable and character are very well portrayed. The story hits the ground running. The world building is distinctive too, where you can feel the futuristic setting. Thank you so much author. Please keep up the great work. I look forward to reading it.

Very nice novel, MC is very well-rounded and feels realistic. The environment, as much as it is left vague forn now, feels really good and intriguing. Not much story developement for now, but i also like the sense of aimlessness of a guy suddenly thrust in Hell with no other suggestion than "Fall deeper". Very good grammar, i also really like the author's writing style; feeling a bit of an Edgar Allan Poe influence (maybe?) on the most delirious sections of inner thoughts. Overall, great job and keep it up!
