You are called "Little Maksim" because of your arrogance. This musical master in the world of classical piano is famous for his arrogance and contempt for others. Being given this title naturally makes you the target of ridicule from many people, both openly and secretly.

You naturally didn't care about these empty titles, but Toyokawa Shoko was often so angry that she couldn't sleep.

[After graduating from high school, you chose to study at Tokyo University of Music. With your outstanding abilities and the full support of the school's resources, you absorbed all the knowledge and essence of classical music at an extremely rapid pace.]

[You finally composed the piece "Black Fate" when you were twenty years old, and it caused a sensation as soon as it was released.]

Romantic classical music is full of strong artistic appeal. Your seemingly drastic changes in composition style are actually the result of emotional sublimation. This piece earned you a post-review from the BRIT Awards, and your outstanding achievements have made you shine brightly on the international stage.

In an instant, news about you flooded the industry. Your reputation, once dubbed "Little Maksim," underwent a dramatic reversal. Later, due to your similar classical compositional style, you were called "The Soul of Beethoven." In any case, you have firmly established yourself as the top musician in all of Japan.

In the same year, you got engaged to Toyokawa Shoko.

[Your achievements, which have shone brightly, are enough to leave your mark on history. No one would be surprised if you married anyone, and the Toyokawa family truly approves of you marrying their only heir.]

However, you and she will need to have several children in the future, at least one of whom will be the heir to the Toyokawa family.

"Is it called 'Black Fate'?"

"This naming style is more like Xiao Xiang's style than my composition style."

Thinking of this, Kazami smiled knowingly, seemingly gradually understanding what her simulated self was thinking.

[Your wedding was quite grand. Your wife, who often wore a black gothic dress with red ribbons while playing in the band, changed into a completely opposite white kimono for your wedding banquet.]

The pure white veil was gently draped over her long, azure hair, and her serene and alluring eyes, like those of a water lily, gazed at you with a smile.

At the wedding, you looked at each other and smiled almost simultaneously. Her smile, like the pure white moonlight, was full of elegance and romance, and pure happiness enveloped the two of you.

You married Shoko Toyokawa.

"Has it finally come to this?"

Upon seeing the word 'marriage,' Kazami Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In previous simulations, he would often end up marrying Xiangzi, but this time the effort he put in to make it happen was astonishing. Fortunately, his efforts were eventually rewarded.

Judging from the current course of development, the final outcome is basically already set.

From the moment he entered the route of Miss Xiangzi, the direction of this simulation result was basically set. Kazami Mei has been trying his best to perfect it from the very beginning. If he chooses to study abroad, even if he meets Xiangzi again several years later, it will inevitably become a regret in Xiangzi's heart.

Unfortunately, this means that problems will occur in the simulation, directly affecting the final result of the simulation.

Kazami Mei gathered her thoughts and focused her attention back on the simulation panel.

On the night the wedding banquet ended, you and Kazami Shoko spent the entire night in the newlywed room.

Whether it's the Toyokawa family's only request, "have more children," or Kazami Shoko's words, "I can afford to raise dozens," you are completely captivated by her love and affection. Happiness transforms into an invisible atmosphere that envelops everything between you and her. In short, you decide to temporarily immerse yourself in her gentle embrace.

The wheels of time keep turning—

In the first year after your marriage to Toyokawa Shoko, she gave birth to a daughter with a calm and composed personality and exceptional talent. You two named her 'Kazemi Setsukatsuki'.

The following year, you and Toyokawa Shoko had two daughters. Because she was dignified, elegant and generous from a young age, and her appearance was very similar to that of your former wife, you named her 'Kazami Shiori'.

[You and Kazami Shoko had almost no restraint, and then in the third year, you immediately had your third daughter. You and your wife named her 'Kazami Kurumi'. She has a cheerful, lively, innocent and romantic personality, but she has a better relationship with her godmother, Wakaba Mutsuki, than with her biological mother.]

"several?"

Kazami Ming stared wide-eyed in disbelief; he truly hadn't expected that he and Xiao Xiang could have three children in three years.

Even if one considered that the Toyokawa family needed an heir, it shouldn't have taken three years without stopping Kuku's birth, right? It's hard to imagine that the Toyokawa lady, who usually appears so cold and reserved, could be so uninhibited after marriage.

Not only did they indulge in excessive and outrageous behavior, but they also showed absolutely no restraint.

【Kazemi Setsukatsu inherited your piano talent and her mother's beauty. At the young age of eight, she debuted as the daughter of a former prodigy, becoming the world's youngest pianist. The awards she won in her spare time filled the Toyokawa family's collection room. Yet, this composed girl always coquettishly asks you to pat her head.】

[At her own request, her second daughter, Kazami Shiori, will become the future head of the Toyokawa family.]

【Shiori Kazami, who has been carefully taught by Shoko Kazami since childhood, has extremely high talent and the ability to be a successor cultivated from a young age. She is able to manage the household in an orderly manner at a young age. However, you find that the gentle and elegant Shiori is not very close to your wife, but rather closer to Akari Takamatsu, who occasionally comes to visit the house.】

The third daughter, Kazami Kurumi, is obsessed with anime, comics, and games (ACG). Despite having two exceptionally talented older sisters, she doesn't feel any pressure from them. Instead, she focuses all her energy on playing and forming a band.

She learned guitar skills from her godmother, Mutsumi Wakaba, and inherited the seven-stringed guitar that Wakaba had used to reach the top of the band. She frequently performs in livehouses and has formed a youth band that belongs only to her.

Even after marriage, your pursuit of music has never stopped.

At the age of 25, you compiled a classical music album that reflected your recent compositions, causing a great sensation in the global music industry. Countless music academies have included your compositions in their teaching materials, and the album has been nominated for the Grammy Awards, the "Oscars of Music," multiple times.

This year marked the peak of your musical creativity.

The fact that your compositions were included in your 'autobiographical film' and your growing fame has led many to compare you to Mozart, with some even believing that if you had been born in that era, you could have achieved even more than those top musicians of that time.

Time flies—

As you grow older, you once led another peak wave in classical music. Your twelve symphonies and twenty-four piano pieces made a tremendous contribution to classical music, and your innovative musical structures may influence generations of young people to come.

[But at your age, you no longer pursue achievements and fame. You choose to travel around the world with your wife, traversing long mountain roads and flowing rivers, to see this vast world together.]

When you finally returned home after passing the last stop, you had already arrived at the summer when you met her.

The air was still scorching, and the cicadas' chirping still echoed in your ears. You and your wife sat in the courtyard under the shade of a tree. The fan in your hand gently danced through your wife's increasingly gray hair. When you mischievously blew her hair into a mess, you closed your eyes with a satisfied and triumphant smile.

A faint scent of bellflower wafts to your nose; you know it's your wife's fragrance.

Legend has it that when the bellflower blooms, happiness will return. If you grasp this happiness, it will transform into eternal love; if you fail to hold onto it, you will lose it.

Her petals are resilient, holding onto hope even as she grows in adversity.

The time she took your hand was a choice she made without regrets, a choice that belonged only to her.

Chapter 105 Toyokawa Shoko's Weakness.

My beautiful dream suddenly vanished—

The girl, sitting on the soft cotton bedding, stared blankly ahead. When she came to her senses, the old curtains beside her let in bursts of light, the reflected luster reflecting off the girl's bright amber eyes.

Toyokawa Shoko reached out and gently touched her cheek. The soft and realistic tactile sensation traveled from her fingertips to her brain. Her beautiful, smooth, light blue hair, like a waterfall, cascaded down her fair shoulders, and her flawless skin glowed with a faint pink.

"...Is it already morning?"

The chirping sounds came from outside the window, which had no soundproofing at all. The girl, who had never felt so comfortable after waking up, felt as if her whole spirit had been cleansed and relaxed.

What happened last night?

Of course, Toyokawa Shoko could not forget the 'dream' that kept repeating itself last night, nor could she simply laugh off such a strange thing as an ordinary 'dream'. She knew very well what she had experienced.

"—Indeed, I did write everything down last night."

Toyokawa Shoko picked up the black notebook beside her and flipped through it. After the portrait that Kazami Mei had drawn for her, there was the 'record' she had written the night before. The dense black handwriting recorded almost the entire process she had experienced.

Toyokawa Shoko deliberately left behind this special method because she was afraid she would forget it when she woke up in the morning.

She experienced dozens, even hundreds, of reincarnations—

All of these were mistakes she made herself. These failures plunged her into the lowest point of her life, and she eventually became a weak and decadent "Miss Toyokawa" who gave up on herself. She will never forget these mistakes.

Toyokawa Shoko originally thought she would be in an endless cycle, but she never expected that in the end she would be pulled out by him, who was also her "target".

Her awkward pride, the inner thoughts she tried to hide even in death, the weakness and despair hidden in her heart—all of these were laid bare before Kazami Mei's eyes, and her husband accepted them all.

"...Yes, husband!"

"My name is Kazami Shoko! This is the one thing I will never forget, even if it kills me!"

What Toyokawa Shoko experienced was not only dozens or even hundreds of 'time loops', but also all the memories of being pulled out of the room by Kazami Mei at the same time!

The adversities she had experienced before were trials, tempering, and the way her career forged her into a strong person! Having overcome these trials, Toyokawa Shoko witnessed her future happy life, and the scenes after her marriage to him were still vivid in her mind!

They knew each other, knew each other, and loved each other, but because of her selfishness and weakness, she kept falling into failure. But Ming took the initiative to reach out and redeem her from despair!

I've liked him for a long time, and now I'm hopelessly in love with him!

dong dong dong...

A mix of shyness and love welled up in the girl's heart, and she repeatedly banged her smooth forehead against the wooden floor. Tears welled up in her eyes from the pain, blending with her cherry blossom-pink fair cheeks, creating a captivating and alluring effect that surged like a tide.

Getting married is perfectly normal, after all, Ming and I truly love each other!

But after getting married, am I really that shameless?

Even though the current 'Kazami Shoko' and her 'future husband' haven't even officially held hands, she has already imagined such shameful scenes. She has tried them all over, and even... she has even tried to explore more outrageous and shameless positions.

This kind of 'knowledge' wasn't stored in her head at all!

"...This, this is the hint from 'fate'!? Giving me a dream of suffering 'trials' to hone me, but after I successfully pass it... it will also give me the reward I deserve, which is probably my memories with Naruto in the future!"

Indeed, they truly are a community of shared destiny!

"Me and Naruto are definitely bound together by fate!"

The girl's snow-white ear tips were as bright as blood. She kept saying lines that ordinary people couldn't understand at all. Then she took out a ballpoint pen and began to write in her notebook. In an instant, the scratching sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper was incessant.

Just then, she suddenly stopped moving, and gradually came back to her senses as she was immersed in her own world.

"...No, no, how can we waste our time in a place like this!"

"I have to confess to Ming now while there's still plenty of time!"

Shoko Toyokawa, who had been reincarnated hundreds of times in her 'dream', was unable to 'confess' to her feelings herself even after she started dating Mei Kazami.

But she learns from these mistakes and errors; the real her is completely different now!

She and Feng Jianming have already become husband and wife, and they even have three children together.

In front of him, she could put aside her pride and concerns, and throw herself into his arms in her most vulnerable state to seek dependence. Now that things have come to this, she could go to the hotel without hesitation. So what is it to take the initiative to confess to him?

"Once I accept my own weakness, then I am... invincible!"

Shoko Toyokawa took a deep breath and tied her light blue hair up with a black hairband.

Now, she's going to confess her feelings!

……

2 p.m.

After several hours of sleep, Kazami Naruto, who had fully recovered both mentally and physically, slowly opened his eyes. He looked calmly at the familiar ceiling, remained silent for a while, and then slowly sat up.

Yesterday's simulation lasted from 9 p.m. to 6 or 7 a.m., and he was exhausted after simulating the simulation over a hundred times with intense concentration.

However, ever since the skill [Endurance] reached the peak of Lv.5, even the most exhausted state for an ordinary person is just a minor setback for Kazami Naruto, who can be fully recovered in just a few hours of sleep.

"...Oh no, I think I accidentally skipped class today?"

When Kazami Mei saw the time displayed on her phone, a subtle expression appeared on her face.

There's less than an hour until school lets out, and my little fiancée should still be at school, right?

Since skipping class was a done deal, he didn't care much about it. After the simulation ended yesterday, he went straight to sleep. He didn't do the final simulation settlement and was also unaware of what changes had occurred in the simulator.

Kazami Mei slowly closed her eyes, focusing her thoughts on the simulation panel.

"Yesterday's 'simulation' can be considered the last one. By now, all the simulation subjects have achieved a 'passing' score of 60 at least once. This time, Xiangzi's simulation can be considered to have completely used up all his attempts."

[End of simulation]

Rating: 99 [Perfect]

[Comment: Once you've seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant; once you've beheld the clouds of Wushan, other clouds seem pale in comparison! Your lifelong love for her is like a bond of fate. Her heart was once barren and broken, her initial innocence and naivety vanished from her life. But you tore open her dark inner world, allowing even the barren soil of her heart to sprout new life.]

Her feelings for you deepened naturally, yet her love for you was unwitting. Even so, you did not abandon her authenticity, pulling her from the darkest abyss into the light, deciding to become her salvation alone.

Your souls seem to have completely merged, and your pure love allows you to rush towards each other without regard for anything else. From the moment fate tied you and her together, your world will become eternal, and even death cannot separate you from her.

You received a perfect score! Simulated reward settlement is now available.

【[Legendary Musician Kazami Mei] Composition Lv.5 (Legendary musician Kazami Mei surpasses the top-tier compositional skills of ancient musicians from hundreds of years ago, mastering a unique classical music philosophy, creating a completely new concept and framework for classical music, and also achieving the ultimate level of proficiency in symphonies, concertos, sonatas, etc.)】

【【World-class pianist Kazami Mei】Piano Lv.5 (World-class pianist Kazami Mei has honed her skills throughout her life, is proficient in piano pieces, and has received 18 Grammy Award nominations. Relying on her unparalleled skills and innovative musical understanding, she has become a legend who has left her mark on history)】

"what?"

I was still thinking about how to choose from the seven 'simulated rewards' this time, but the simulator just threw out a simulated result and then there was no follow-up. However, the two skills that were revealed this time made Kazami Naruto raise his eyebrows.

Two Lv.5 skills were revealed at the same time?

In this simulation, Kazami Naru relied on her talent to hone the two skills she had mastered throughout her life: 'piano' and 'composition'. And this simulation result directly revealed these two skills, so it can be said that Kazami Naru indirectly 'inherited' everything from this simulation.

"I've never gotten a score as close to perfect as 99 before. Is it because 99 is the most special score?"

Kazami Mei lowered her head and began to ponder, thinking that this seemed to be in line with the nature of simulators.
