ALL NOVEL chapter 1
One: The Rebirth of the Unscrupulous Young Master Leaves Me Baffled?
“So… what exactly is going on…”
Wu Liang opened his eyes, a look of confusion on his face as he gazed at the pristine white ceiling.
A massive floor-to-ceiling window stood to his left, with sheer curtains fluttering in the breeze.
An expensive vase sat on the bedside table, yet without a single flower, it seemed somewhat empty.
He scanned the unfamiliar surroundings and finally let his gaze fall on himself, dressed in a hospital gown and covered with a large white quilt.
“Hospital?”
Wu Liang was puzzled. Why was he in a hospital?
Trying to grasp the situation, Wu Liang propped himself up from the bed, but a sharp pain from his forehead made him pause.
“Hisss…”
He couldn’t help but draw in a breath of cold air as he touched his forehead, feeling layers of gauze.
“Young master, your wound has just healed; please don’t move around.”
A bell-like female voice slowly rose not far in front of him, melodious and captivating.
Wu Liang couldn’t help but follow the sound, and when he saw the full appearance of the newcomer, he was momentarily stunned.
There stood a beauty in front of him, dressed in a lavish European-style maid outfit, standing respectfully.
Her jet-black, beautiful hair was tied up high with a white ribbon, her cool and aloof cheeks devoid of any superfluous expression, as if a fairy from a painting.
“Cos…Cosplay??”
Wu Liang, coming back to his senses, was somewhat baffled.
He clearly didn’t recognize the stunning maid before him, yet it felt as if he had seen her countless times, encountered her just as many.
“Master Wu Liang, your body is still very weak, please rest first.”
“If you have any orders, you only need to press the bell beside you, and Yao Shi will arrive at your side at the earliest.”
Yao Shi looked at Wu Liang with an icy gaze, bowed slightly in a simple courtesy, and made to leave the room.
“Right! I knew it! You look exactly like Yao Shi!!”
Reminded, Wu Liang suddenly struck his palm with an epiphany.
No wonder he found the woman before him so familiar.
Because Yao Shi was a character from the yet-to-be-conquered ACG romance game “Who is Your First Goddess? Heartbeat Rhythm~”.
“I knew there was something familiar about you, I never imagined I’d have the fortune to see you in person.”
Wu Liang smiled, no wonder he felt an inexplicable affection for Yao Shi just now.
Ahahaha… it’s really quite… coincidental… isn’t it……
“……”
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the clapping hands grew stiff.
Wu Liang, who was smiling, felt a sudden jolt in his heart, wait… wait a minute… something seemed off…
“Um… I might not have heard clearly just now… may I ask your name…”
Cold sweat soaked Wu Liang’s back in an instant, as he turned his stiff neck to look at the woman before him.
Wu Liang asked with a trembling voice, hoping someone would wake him if this was a dream.
“Yao Shi is my name, your personal maid, at your service for many years now.”
Yao Shi frowned slightly, pointing to the nameplate on her right chest as she spoke indifferently.
“Sorry, allow me to ask in a different way.”
“The young master of the Wu family from Yanghai City, the first heir of the Tian Gong financial empire, the owner of the Dongsheng stock market, the magnate of Huacai Yushang…”
After taking a deep breath, Wu Liang sat up straight again, his lips twitching as he listed numerous well-known enterprises.
Finally, Wu Liang slowly raised his trembling right hand towards his chest.
“The young master Wu Liang of the Wu family, sitting on a mountain of gold, wealthy enough to rival nations, that’s me, right?”
After saying these words, Wu Liang wished he could immediately burrow into a hole in the ground out of shame.
If outsiders heard this, they might think he was a lunatic who had escaped from a mental institution.
“It’s common knowledge.”
Yao Shi’s eyes slightly lifted, casting a peculiar glance at Wu Liang.
“There’s nothing to worry about now…”
Wu Liang revealed a smile uglier than tears. Was it still possible for him to run away now?
But in that instant, memories long sealed in the depths of Wu Liang’s mind surged forth like a flood.
“…”
The sudden onslaught of memories made Wu Liang dizzy, clutching his throbbing forehead, a twitch in the corner of his eye.
He had traveled through time; he had crossed into the world of the ACG romance game “Who is Your Number One Goddess? Heartbeat Rhythm~.”
And, as fate would have it, he became the game’s villainous boss—the young master of the Wu family.
Due to some unknown reason, his original memories had not awakened in time.
Thus, he had lived for 17 long years dominated by the personality of Wu Liang, the original game character, until now, when he replaced Wu Liang’s existence.
Because of this, Wu Liang had now perfectly become a villainous young master everyone wanted to strike down.
“Only one year left, huh…”
Wu Liang, who had regained all his memories, lay on the bed, murmuring with furrowed brows.
He hadn’t expected to truly cross into the world of a romance game and become that so-called villainous young master.
If the game’s plot were to proceed normally, he would be killed off in various ways after one year.
Wu Liang glanced at the empty vase on the bedside table, a twitch forming in the corner of his eye.
…
…
..
“Damn it, I refuse to believe this curse.”
After a long contemplation in bed, Wu Liang sat up abruptly, like a carp flipping over.
His rebirth as the villainous young master was an unchangeable fate, but that didn’t mean the game’s ending couldn’t be changed.
Instead of continuing to sit here waiting for doom, it was better to quickly think of a way to solve this trouble.
Although only one year remained, as a veteran ACG game expert, he firmly believed he wouldn’t end with a Bad End.
He had no intention of dying so simply in this world—don’t underestimate him.
Wu Liang took a deep breath and looked up at the pristine white ceiling.
“The game begins now.”
