Quick Transmigration: The Villain is Destiny, the Protagonist Takes a Backseat

Originally, he thought he had some connection with this soul.

But despite searching through all the memories in his mind, Ji Qiuzhe couldn't find a single piece of information about this soul.

Then there's only one more possibility... he lost a piece of his memory.

This idea is absurd, yet it is the most reasonable explanation for the current situation.

Who exactly is his lover?

Ji Qiuzhe had too many questions, but for now, he could only complete the mission in this world. All the mysteries would eventually be solved.

[Host, I haven't decided on the previous options yet. Do you want to change them?]

[Choose (two)]

Ji Qiuzhe did not hesitate.

Whoever the soul belongs to, once he sets his sights on it, it can only be his!

003, unsurprisingly: [Okay, selection complete. Host, please strive to complete the strategy mission.]

The tomb was eerily quiet.

Ji Qiuzhe propped himself up and sat up, only to find Li Yu sitting at the heavy, carved octagonal table next to the coffin, reading a book.

As expected of a zombie without any aura, its presence is minimal.

Upon seeing Li Yu, Ji Qiuzhe's mood immediately improved considerably.

His gaze moved from the man's exquisite features to his half-draped black hair, and then to the dark robe embroidered with gold thread.

Unlike the cool and aloof Bo Yuwu, Li Yu possessed an indescribable air of nobility, and his features were slightly more refined than Bo Yuwu's.

Perhaps because he lowered his eyes, he appeared somewhat gloomy.

Ji Qiuzhe looked at Li Yu's skin, which appeared incredibly warm against the backdrop of the flickering flames from the pair of dragon and phoenix candles on the table, and called out, "Husband."

The person reading the book froze, and asked uncertainly, "What did you call me?"

"Husband."

Ji Qiuzhe gave a barely perceptible smile, but maintained a gentle and innocent expression on his face.

The original owner of this body was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage and dropped out of school before graduating from high school.

After dropping out of school, he encountered many misfortunes, often going hungry and cold, and his physique could be described as thin and frail.

Therefore, it feels perfectly natural for them to play the victim.

Yet, his features don't look aggressive at all; instead, they have a touch of innocent charm, making his feigned innocence seem perfectly natural.

"Snapped--"

Li Yu's hand trembled, and the book with the cover printed with "Little Genius - A Complete Guide to Chinese Characters for Children's Early Learning" fell to the ground in a spectacular fashion.

Ji Qiuzhe raised an eyebrow, swayed as he climbed out of the coffin, took a few steps, and quickly picked up the book.

Then she looked up at Li Yu's dazed face, "Husband~ I'm so dizzy, I can't get up~ Can you help me up~"

Li Yu mechanically lowered his eyes, looking at Ji Qiuzhe's delicate little face.

He looked very thin, but he had a pair of dark, bright eyes that were even more tempting than the grapes offered as tribute from foreign lands.

Li Yu reached out as if bewitched, and that fair and soft hand landed on her.

With just a gentle pull, he easily lifted the person off the ground.

The distance suddenly closed.

Li Yu felt a burning sensation in her chest and quickly loosened her grip on his hand, trying to create distance between them.

The next moment, a warm body crashed into his arms.

Li Yu: ...

Ji Qiuzhe let out a affected "ah" in a high-pitched voice, then leaned against Li Yu and remained still.

"Sorry, my husband, my legs are weak~"

Li Yu had no sense of smell, yet he seemed to smell the sweet, cloying scent emanating from the warm, soft body in his arms, which made his scalp tingle.

Despite wanting to resist, I couldn't muster the slightest strength to push him away.

003 was completely dumbfounded.

How exactly does the host switch from a domineering top to a gentle, soft, and vulnerable bottom so easily?

Simple! Straightforward! Shocking! Horrifying!

[Come back to your senses.] Ji Qiuzhe slapped 003 on the forehead.

003 feels much better now.

That was close! The host hasn't changed; deep down, he's still the same valiant male protagonist.

"You..." It took Li Yu a long time to find his voice.

Ji Qiuzhe immediately replied, "Husband, whatever you say, I'll listen to you!"

Li Yu tried his best to ignore the soft, innocent hand pressed against his chest, and after a long while, he regained his composure: "You don't need to call me husband, we are both men..."

To his surprise, the person in his arms immediately looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly aggrieved.

"But we're already married! If you won't let me call you 'husband,' does that mean... you're going to divorce me?"

As Ji Qiuzhe spoke, he gently bit his pale lower lip, forcing back his tears, and then continued:

"It was my overstepping my bounds, it was my wishful thinking. I thought I would finally be free from being alone, that someone would finally treat me well, but it turns out it was all just my own delusion..."

He sighed deeply, "Fine, I'll leave now and never bother you again, Your Highness!"

After saying that, Ji Qiuzhe got up and left Li Yu's embrace.

Li Yu felt somewhat uneasy when his arms were suddenly empty.

He subconsciously looked at Ji Qiuzhe, only to see that the man gave him one last deep look before turning around and leaving without looking back.

As she turned around, a tear slid down her cheek.

Li Yu stared blankly in the direction the man had left, her already gloomy face darkening even further.

He recalled the sorrowful tear that fell from Ji Qiuzhe's eye before he turned away.

Her fair skin appeared even more delicate against the bright red wedding dress. Her nose was flushed, clearly showing her distress. Her once bright eyes had lost their luster and become dull and lifeless.

And those words that just make your heart ache...

He jumped up and chased after her without hesitation.

Ji Qiuzhe was walking along, idly flipping through the book "Little Genius - A Complete Guide to Chinese Characters for Children's Early Learning" in his hands.

Li Yu is an ancient person who has only recently awakened. He basically doesn't know modern simplified Chinese characters. I don't know which genius found the children's books for him. It's simply wonderful!

Seeing his leisurely demeanor, 003 was extremely anxious: [Host, you can't leave! How are we supposed to win over the villain if you leave?]

Ji Qiuzhe remained calm: "He wouldn't bear to let me leave."

【what? 】

003 seemed to understand but not quite; hadn't they only met less than a day ago?

Could it be that in such a short time, the villain has already developed different feelings for the host?

Ji Qiuzhe sensed his thoughts but said nothing.

He continued to move his feet slowly, his whole being exuding a faint aura of death.

Li Yu chased after him, and looking at the obviously disappointed figure not far away, he felt inexplicably irritated.

He clearly had no heart, but from the moment he met this person, the once empty space seemed to come alive like never before.

He took a few steps forward and pulled the person into his arms.

"Don't leave."

The person in my arms was trembling all over and did not respond for a long time.

He turned the person's body around and saw that her delicate face was already covered with tear stains.

For some reason, he also felt sad. Li Yu sighed inwardly that he was simply bewitched, but his hand uncontrollably touched Ji Qiuzhe's soft cheek and gently wiped away the unsightly tear stains.

"Your Majesty..."

The man's soft voice was laced with desperate sobs, "If you don't want me, then let me go..."
