After successfully conquering the brooding male lead, I chose to leave the world immediately. Even though he humbly begged me to stay, I didn't pause for a second. Back in the real world, my life wasn't going well. The System found me and offered me five million dollars to go back into the book and conquer him again. Just as I agreed, a barrage of comments floated before my eyes: "Damn, the Ex-Wife who abandoned the male lead is back." "LMAO, does she think the male lead still loves her?" "The second conqueror not only reduced the male lead's Darkening Value to negative one hundred but also stayed behind voluntarily to give him a complete home." "Now the young couple is about to get married. Does the Ex-Wife have any shame? Why is she bothering them?" 1 It took me a long time to react. The "Ex-Wife" in the comments was referring to me. Beside my ear, the System was still nagging, trying to sell me on this deal. "You just need to make Sebastian Thorne fall in love with you again, and you can get five million. Even if you don't succeed, I'll give you fifty thousand for your trouble. How about it? Good deal, right?" It was a very good deal. And the current me really needed this money. But thinking of the comments. I was silent for a moment and said I needed to consider it. So the System decided to send me back into the book first. To be precise, back to the home Sebastian and I once shared. A small apartment of a few hundred square feet, old but cozy, just like three years ago. Sebastian hadn't moved a single thing of mine. Even the dress I accidentally stained before I left was washed at some point and hung neatly in the closet. I remember this dress was from a trendy brand at the time. When Sebastian secretly bought it for me, I scolded him severely because it was too expensive. He didn't argue, just obediently lowered his eyelashes, waiting for my anger to subside. Then he coaxed me gently to put it on. I looked down at the silky fabric in my hand. Took a deep breath. If Sebastian had really forgotten me. Then why did he keep this house? I looked up again, surveying the small room. My gaze was suddenly drawn to a white paper taped to the window. On the translucent paper, there were only a few scrawled words. House for Sale, Price Negotiable, Urgent. The strokes were sharp; it was Sebastian's handwriting. 2 Tiny text floated before my eyes again: "Hahaha, the Ex-Wife is dumbfounded, right? The male lead isn't reluctant to part with their past; he just hasn't had time to sell this house yet." "The Ex-Wife still thinks the male lead loves her like before. Didn't expect that after meeting Baby Girl, the male lead wouldn't even spare her a glance." "The System only let her conquer the male lead again to create some obstacles for the male lead and Baby Girl. The Ex-Wife is just waiting to humiliate herself." I pursed my lips. So that's how it is. The reason the System dared to offer five million was that it was certain I couldn't succeed. Making me the vicious female supporting character who hindered the relationship between the male and female leads was its real goal. It used merely fifty thousand to exploit my labor. Fifty thousand. I smiled self-deprecatingly. Being a clown once for fifty thousand dollars wasn't a small amount. It was a week's treatment cost in the ICU. I called out the System and readily agreed to the deal. The System beamed and gave me a sum of money to cover my expenses during this time, but it could only be used in the book. Since Sebastian was so eager to sell this house. I might as well buy it. I held my phone and dialed the familiar number from memory. It took half a minute to connect. A girl's crisp voice came from the receiver: "You are..." Stunned for a second. I lowered my eyes to confirm; it was indeed Sebastian's number. "I passed by and saw the sale info on the window..." "You want to buy the house?" The voice on the other end exclaimed in surprise: "That's great, someone finally wants this house." I asked cautiously: "Are you the owner?" "I'm the owner's girlfriend. You can call me Lily." So she was the second conqueror. In the moment of distraction, there was a brief noise on the other end, like two people whispering. It seemed like a long, long time passed. Someone picked up the phone again. Sebastian's cold voice came clearly from the receiver: "Hello, is it convenient to meet and talk?" 3 I waited anxiously in the coffee shop for a long time. Until a low-key luxury car stopped in front of the door. The door opened, and a perfect couple stepped out. Three years no see, Sebastian's face was still so outstanding. The greenness between his brows had faded, plated with a layer of calm composure brought by power and wealth. He leaned lazily against the car door. I didn't know what Lily said, but he smiled and rubbed her head. Across the distance. That gaze glanced indifferently in my direction. Only stayed for a moment, then rippled away like an undisturbed well. When Lily sat down in front of me, I was still lost in thought. She smiled at me apologetically: "My boyfriend has something to do. He can only drop me here. I'll negotiate for him." I nodded sincerely: "I can see you have a great relationship." Lily's smile deepened: "My boyfriend runs a tech company. The net profit alone is over a hundred million a year. We don't lack the money from the house; we just don't want to keep it anymore." Her tone carried a faint sense of superiority. I nodded and made a request to see the house according to the procedure. Lily paused awkwardly: "The house key isn't with me. If you want to see it, only my boyfriend can take you." I was slightly stunned, puzzled: "Before you came, didn't he give you the key?" Normally, buying and selling a house requires viewing it. Sebastian couldn't possibly not know. Lily sighed with a bitter smile: "I asked for the key, but he wouldn't give it, and he never took me there." She lowered her voice: "To tell you the truth, that house is where he lived with his ex-wife when he started from scratch. I feel uncomfortable about it, so I want to sell it quickly." I said oh. "In that case, I won't view the house. Let's sign the contract directly." Lily was overjoyed. Afraid I would go back on my word, she immediately took out the sale agreement. But she didn't have the property deed, so the transfer couldn't happen yet. Still had to wait for Sebastian to come. Sitting idly bored. Looking at this conqueror who was just like me. I asked curiously: "How did you two get together?" Actually, I wanted to know how she conquered Sebastian. The System told me. After I left the world, Sebastian had a brief second Darkening. He slit his wrists, committed suicide, and his Darkening Value was once high enough to endanger the stability of the entire world. Lily came to his side at this time. Not only did she lower his Darkening Value, but she also completely replaced my position in his heart. Sebastian wasn't an easy target to conquer. She must have suffered a lot. But Lily said with a smile: "That was when he was just abandoned by his ex-wife and was disheartened. I kept comforting him, and we confirmed our relationship not long after." Was it that simple? I simply couldn't believe it. Overwhelming ridicule appeared before my eyes again: "Hahaha, the Ex-Wife is probably breaking down. The male lead just has no resistance to our Baby Girl." "You should know that the Ex-Wife spent a whole ten years conquering the male lead. During this period, she threw herself at him countless times before the male lead reluctantly got together with her." "Baby Girl just said a few words to the male lead, and the Ex-Wife's years of work were in vain. This is the power of true love." ... I silently watched these sarcastic words. They were right. My process of conquering Sebastian was indeed very difficult. So difficult that I never wanted to go through it again. 4 Sebastian's parents didn't love him. At a young age, they threw him into a mental hospital, leaving him to be abused and bullied by orderlies. The patients locked inside were lunatics and violent maniacs. The whole mental hospital was like a heavily guarded prison. So even with the help of the System. When I rescued him from the mental hospital, I almost lost half my life. I took Sebastian to a strange city. Let him study and walk the right path. I also arranged expensive psychological counseling for him every week. Doing so much, I just wanted him to trust me completely. But Sebastian was simply too smart. He easily saw through the truth of this world, including my identity and purpose. After the college entrance examination, Sebastian became the top scorer in the province. I happily celebrated with him. But he quietly pulled my arm, his expression cold, with a hint of imperceptible self-mockery. "You did all this because you wanted to conquer me, right?" After the shock. I sighed and choked out: "I like you. That is my purpose." Sebastian snorted lightly, obviously not believing it. I was a little nervous but still leaned my head against his chest, muttering: "Sebastian, don't worry about whether I have ulterior motives. These years have been really tiring for me. You have to let me live a good life soon." "I really like you very much. Don't question me like this anymore. I'm really sad." ... After graduation, Sebastian started his business. We moved into that small, old apartment. There was no heating in winter. My body was cold, and my feet were always frozen stiff and painful. Sebastian would rub my feet every night, wordless, but his eyes were red with heartache. During that time, we were already married. His goal changed from creating a tech company to destroy the world, to the vulgar goal of making money to buy a house for his wife. We rushed about during the day and snuggled in that small bed at night. In order to get investment, I was made things difficult by the investor CEO. I didn't dare go back and tell him, so I cried while walking on the street for an hour. Even when facing the deliberate revenge of competitors, I firmly stood in front of Sebastian to protect him, but ended up in the operating room myself. I don't know how many things like this happened. Only then did Sebastian slowly fall in love with me. Compared to my ten-year conquest. Lily only used a short three weeks. To lower Sebastian's Darkening Value to negative one hundred. And his Affection Value rose to one hundred percent.
