(Taicang County Magistrate's Mansion)

(Simplicity and Ambition)

Recently, the magistrate of Taicang returned.

Just in time for us to report back.

The demon here has been eliminated.

Now we can set off.

No way.

Sister, you're still injured.

Let's leave after you're fully healed.

In the past journey,

you were hurt more severely,

yet never heard you complain.

My little injury is

nothing to fuss about.

Besides,

this is an official residence.

The rules are strict.

Neither Fuyi nor I are used to staying.

If Liu Fuyi feels uncomfortable,

he can just leave.

I still have things to do here.

What things?

(Liu Fuyi is annoying,)

(but his cultivation is great.)

(Ordinary demons can't)

(approach the talismans he set at all,)

(let alone tear them apart.)

(Unless)

(someone is)

(harming my sister)

(by framing the demons.)

=Love Game in Eastern Fantasy=

=Episode 2=

(Whoever tore off the talisman, their hair would be soft and yellow.)

(It'd be obvious.)

(I've checked most of the people in this mansion.)

(There are)

(fewer targets left.)

Master,

last night, Miss cooperated with Mr. Liu to catch demons.

(Lin Lushan, Taicang County Magistrate) Miss herself acted as bait.

They wiped out the demons.

Miss had a narrow escape.

Otherwise, how could I explain it to you?

(Dad.)

(Why is it you?)

(I miss you so much.)

Alright, alright.

The demon that harmed the whole county was eliminated.

This is a great achievement.

We must thank these people very much.

And my dear daughter

deserves special credit.

My dear,

tell me what you want.

I will buy it for you.

Dad,

I don't want anything.

I just hope you can be in good health,

and live a long life.

Also,

the carriage on the road is very dangerous.

If there's an accident,

it would be serious.

My baby girl has grown up.

She knows to care for her dad now.

(What's this?)

(You can be so moved by just a few words.)

(How did Lin Yu)

(treat her father?)

Give the orders.

Prepare a banquet immediately.

I want to celebrate the success of those demon catchers.

Master,

the doctor specifically said

that you have health issues.

Need to avoid greasy and meaty foods,

especially the alcohol.

(Three Highs?)

- I know my body well. - (Fatty liver?)

But basic courtesy is needed.

Dad, please listen to the doctor.

Health first.

Unbelievable,

my daughter has become so caring.

Is that real?

Respected masters,

I don't know how to thank you all.

The reward has been paid as promised.

No need for thanks.

I didn't expect it to be a fifth-rank demon.

No wonder it killed so many in the past three months.

The reward should be granted.

You're too kind.

Protecting the peace of the people

is our duty as demon catchers.

Well said.

Excellent.

As expected of the world-famous Young Master Fuyi.

Cheer up.

I, on behalf of the people of Taicang County,

thank you all.

I'll go first.

Miss Mu.

Yao is injured and can't drink.

I'll drink on her behalf.

Alright, alright.

Young Master Mu.

Sheng,

don't be rude.

Young Master Mu might also be injured.

So I'll drink on his behalf.

Come on, cheers, Dad!

My dear,

when did you become such a heavy drinker??

You used to not drink!

I'm not bragging. My drinking…

I…

- Miss. - Miss Lin.

- Look, look. - Miss.

Wake up, Miss.

Sheng,

what happened to you just now?

The host kindly hosted the banquet,

yet you were so rude.

I just can't stand

that hypocritical people in the world.

Are you suspicious of Fuyi again?

He counts as one.

And the magistrate counts as one too.

Magistrate?

He's the county's official.

He earns only a few dozen taels of silver a year,

yet lives in such a luxurious mansion.

His lifestyle

is extravagant and wasteful.

He must be a corrupt official.

As for his daughter,

she's also eccentric and annoying.

Sheng,

I've told you many times.

Don't make baseless accusations.

The demon catcher only deals with demons,

not human affairs.

Have you forgotten?

I know, sister.

You always say you know.

But you never change.

Sometimes you're just like a kid,

not thinking about anything.

I really can't deal with you.

Sister.

(This body)

(gets tired easily.)

(Knocked out by one drink.)

(A lot of delicious food, and I barely ate any.)

(And I still need more.)

This bowl is too small.

I can finish it in two bites.

Miss, you used to be the most worried about eating too much.

At most half a tael of rice.

Half...

Why?

You said

that you were afraid of getting fat.

(I really can't believe this.)

(Losing weight isn't done this way.)

(Cutting carbs can really mess with the head.)

Do you have

a basin

in your kitchen?

Yes.

There is a basin.

That's great.

Next time we eat,

bring that basin for me.

So I can refill my food.

What's wrong?

Ever since the fox demon possessed you,

your behavior has been strange,

totally different from before.

Is it that obvious?

The former Miss was always depressed.

Didn't eat enough or sleep well.

And had

a bad temper.

Now you eat much more,

sleep as soon as lie down,

and are sincere to people.

You become talkative and love to laugh,

like a completely different person.

(Am I going against my character here?)

You're overthinking it.

Come.

Sit.

Wan, let me tell you.

A person,

after going through ups and downs,

sees things much clearer.

Surviving this ordeal

made me realize a lot.

In the past, I had a dark psychology

and made things difficult for others and herself.

That was wrong.

But in the future,

I'll turn over a new leaf.

So tell me.

Which one do you prefer, the Miss before

or the current one?

Of course the current one.

But since demon catchers are here,

why don't you ask the Mu siblings to check for you?

No!

I say this again.

I'm definitely not possessed.

You, you must not mess with

the Mu siblings,

especially that Mu Sheng.

Don't have anything to do with him.

Not at all.

Got it?

(Fu Zhou's "Catching Demons")

(has over 300,000 words written.)

(There are still many plots to develop.)

(Lin Yu's physical condition is really bad.)

(If I want to pass the level, I have to practice.)

(Let's get this body in shape first.)

By the way, Wan,

help me prepare some more things.

Dad.

My daughter, you are here.

Dad, I asked the housekeeper.

He said that the doctor asked you to eat less and exercise more.

Have a healthy diet and take more exercise.

Isn't it?

What the doctor said is

relax the body and avoid eating greasy.

Isn't that the same thing?

Let's be partners.

Exercise together, shall we?

My dear, you go play by yourself.

I'm going to take a break.

Let's go together.

For what?

Working out.

This is...

Master,

this is what Miss told us to prepare.

Dad, jumping rope is the most fat-burning aerobic exercise.

Look at your belly fat.

You can't keep fit anymore.

Ah, at my age,

this is quite inappropriate!

Who cares about propriety when it comes to health?

Dad, come and join me.

No.

231 times.

Come on!

232 times.

- Come on, come on, dad. - My daughter.

Stop counting.

- I really can't do it anymore. - Come on.

You got this. It's almost 250 times. Come on.

If I jump any longer, I might die!

Almost at 250!

Go for it, dad, it's been half an hour.

Haven't even started burning fat yet, dad.

Let's go! One more time.

- One more, one more. - I, I want...

Young Master Mu, you're just in time!

Come here, you're highly skilled in martial arts.

You must be great at this.

Come, come, have fun with my daughter for a while.

I have to go for some water.

Dad, don't go. Don't go.

- I need to drink water. - Come back quickly.

- I really can't. - Don't eat now.

Master.

I can't. I can't.

Master.

Master.

Master!

Master!

I'm at my limit!

Mr. Mu, what a coincidence!

We meet here again.

Miss Lin, you're in such a good mood.

What are you doing?

I'm exercising.

The weather is so good today.

I'm absorbing natural essence.

But you're not Lingzhi. [*Lingzhi: Ganoderma lucidum.]

Can you really absorb the natural essence?

Of course I can.

In this way, I can run fast if encounter a demon.

Speaking of demons,

I do have a question.

Miss Lin, I'd like to ask you…

You can ask,

but why do you raise your hand?

Your hair is messed up.

What are you doing?

Your hair is

well maintained.

Right?

As for me,

my favorite thing is to take care of my hair.

Is there a problem?

(It was a close call.)

(Thanks to my smart response.)

(Let me take the blame for what Lin Yu committed?)

(I'm really the God's chosen victim.)

Miss.

Shh.

Miss,

is this rope long enough?

Can you try it and see if you want to cut it shorter?

Good idea.

Miss, what are you doing?

Miss.

I want to wash my hair. Right now.

I need rice washing water,

and coconut oil, egg whites,

mature vinegar and distiller's grains.

Bring me whatever you can find.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

Alright.

(It's not in vain that I wear a homemade hair mask,)

(covered it for so long.)

(It seems that I've passed the test.)

Miss Lin, I remember you had two maids.

One of them is called Wan.

Where's the other one?

The other one?

(That's right.)

(There's also a maid named Huayi in the book.)

(She…)

You have been worried and busy lately.

I've brought some incense for you to soothe the nerves.

Huayi.

Miss.

Does this bracelet come from Cainan?

Young Master,

my mother is from there.

This is my mother's.

My hometown is also there.

This bracelet is so beautiful.

(Huayi, maid in the Magistrate's Mansion) It matches your wrist perfectly.

Thank you, Miss Lin.

Miss.

I will never wear this bracelet again.

Huayi.

You're at the age to find a match now.

I remember

that drunken lame man in the kitchen

just lost his wife.

Miss.

Please forgive me

for the sake of my years of service.

Miss, I was wrong, please.

Miss, Miss, I was wrong.

Miss Lin.

(She was married to someone by Lin Yu.)

(And the wedding date…)

It's today.

(It's none of my business, is it?)

(It's written in the book)

(to highlight Lin Yu's meanness.)

(It's not wrong to write that.)

(After all, it's all fiction.)

(There's no need to take it seriously.)

(Right?)

Miss.

Master said there are new fabrics from the Western Regions

in the South Market.

Novel and luxurious.

He'll take you to see them.

Alright, let's go.

How old is Huayi?

Huayi?

She's 17 years old,

the same age as me.

(Only 17 years old.)

(She is still a child who should be in high school.)

Does she have

a blind old mother at home?

Yes.

She told me

that she lives with her mother.

Because her mother was sick,

she was sold here as a slave.

She's very frugal.

She sent all her money back to her mother for medical treatment.

So if she dies,

how sad would her mother be?

(Fake, fake.)

(It's just a book.)

(Why should I be so serious)

(about a non-player character?)

(I'm only responsible for finishing the main plot.)

(Finish the game and go home.)

(No need to complicate things.)

(Wait, something's wrong.)

(Mu Sheng just asked me where Huayi went.)

(That means he's already suspected Huayi.)

(If he finds out that Huayi jumped into the well,)

(he will definitely think)

(that I instigated my maid to tear off the talisman,)

(and then killed her.)

(That's right.)

(I have a reason to save her.)

Too late, too late.

It's too late. It's too late.

Who blocked the way?

(Princess carry?)

(Is this in the book?)

You! You!

Why didn't you catch me?

Miss Lin, you said

that men and women shouldn't be too close.

I didn't want to offend you.

- You! - Besides,

you didn't say you needed my help.

Sister Mu, Sister Mu! What brings you here?

(Why are you rushing to the backyard?)

(Let me see)

(what you're up to.)

(Instant Curse.)

(Huayi.)

Huayi.

Miss.

Are you okay?

Fortunately, I made it just in time.

Don't try to kill yourself.

If you die, your mother will be heartbroken.

I don't want her to be sad either.

But if you want me to marry that brutal drunkard,

I'd rather…

I'd rather die.

Don't get married.

It was Lin…

It's my fault.

I mean

that I made a mistake before.

I take back what I said.

You can come back.

Work hard.

Make more money and take care of your mother.

Let's not talk about marriage anymore.

All right?

Thank you, Miss, for your mercy.

Thank you, thank you very much.

I won't dare to do that again.

I won't dare talk to Young Master Liu either.

I'll go back to do some work right now.

Miss Lin.

How did you know Huayi was going to commit suicide here?

Because I know my maid's character.

Does that make sense?

Then why did she commit suicide?

Because…

It's just

emotional problems, right?

I heard her say

that the reason was that Liu Fuyi said something to her.

So you can't stand it.

I'm right.

Miss Lin, you're really devoted

to Liu Fuyi.

No, no.

How can that be?

On the night the Mirror Demon harmed my sister,

what did you do?

I was busy dressing up in my room.

Pretending to be a bride.

What else could I have done?

So,

you didn't know anything

about the talisman being torn.

Young Master Mu, why do you still suspect me?

You don't even match my hair.

How do you know about the hair?

Was it you

who left it there that night?

Young Master, you checked the hair of everyone

in the mansion.

How could I not guess?

Young Master Mu,

you are the demon catcher hired by my father.

That means you're also my guest.

But you've questioned me so many times.

Is that fair?

If you're really worried about Sister Mu,

you'd better go back and look after her

instead of being paranoid here.

Don't let her get into trouble again.

That's serious business.

That's a good point.

I will.

(Finally, I've bluffed him away.)

(I successfully solve the trouble)

(caused by Lin Yu.)

(I have to be cautious)

(about the next plot,)

(and survive to the end.)

(Absolutely not get myself into trouble.)

Beginner's Tutorial Task 2.

According to the plot in the book,

replace Mu Yao's healing medicine

and delay Liu Fuyi's group's journey.

What kind of messed-up plot is this?

Tamper with the medicine.

Change the healing medicine with a laxative

and have to deliver it in person?

Can the villain be smarter?

(According to the book,)

(Mu Sheng was temporarily out of town.)

(When he heard that Mu Yao was suffering from abdominal pain,)

(he rushed back immediately.)

(He suspected that Lin Yu had tampered with the medicine.)

Sister Mu,

I really want to stay with Brother Liu for a few more days.

So,

please don't recover

so quickly.

(Then for revenge,)

(he uncovered the magistrate's embezzlement of the treasury,)

(which led to the deaths of all Lin family)

(but Lin Yu.)

The whole family was killed.

Calm down, calm down.

Now the plot is back on track.

This is a good thing.

I just need to follow the system's requirements.

Finish the plot.

Then I'll be able to go home.

Anyway, I can't afford

the fate of these non-player characters.

There's nothing I can do.

(Stupid, stupid.)

(The system asked me to change Mu Yao's medicine.)

(It didn't say you have to change it to a laxative.)

(If I switch it into the tonic medicine that Lin Yu usually takes,)

(I'll be able to accomplish the system's mission)

(without harming Mu Yao.)

(Isn't this the solution?)

(I am indeed a genius.)

Sister Mu.

I'm here to deliver medicine to you.

How come it's you?

(That's not right.)

(Where is Liu Fuyi as written?)

Didn't you say so, Miss Lin?

If really care about my sister,

I should keep an eye on her.

Don't let her get into trouble again.

That's really a good point.

I'm impressed.

(Why did I say so?)

Thank you,

Miss Lin.

Thank you for delivering my medicine.

Don't mention it.

So,

do you want to take now?

Of course.

Wait until it cools down

and loses its potency?

Sister,

drink while it's hot.

(Wonderful, thanks to my wit.)

(Otherwise if this guy found)

(something wrong with it,)

(I would have died on the spot.)

Sister.

- Sister. - It hurts.

Why does it still hurt?

Lin Yu!

What did you do to my sister's medicine?

I, I didn't.

I just replaced her healing medicine

with a tonic.

I didn't mean any harm.

Why did you do that?

I, I didn't…

Not me, not me.

It was Lin Yu.

She wanted Sister Mu Yao to recover slowly.

It really wasn't me.

You harmed my sister.

I…

Whoever hurt my sister

deserves to die.

What's going on?

Why did I get killed early?

This is different from what's written in the book.

I get it.

I have changed the plot before.

That's why Mu Sheng came back early

and found the talisman torn off.

He also suspected me in advance.

So this time,

he didn't give me any chance.

I must find a way

not to reveal anything at all.

Drink while it's hot.

Thank you, Miss Lin.

Thank you for delivering my medicine.

You're welcome. Take a try.

Sister.

Here we go again?

What's wrong?

What did you do

to my sister's medicine?

No, I really didn't change the medicine this time.

What do you mean that you didn't change the medicine?

Hasn't anyone mentioned it?

Whoever hurt my sister

deserves to die.

What the hell?

Why can't it work even if I change the prescription?

What are you looking for, Miss?

A book.

(The Medical Classic of the Yellow Emperor 3) A medical book.

This time, I'll give her a pot of medicine.

How about something for a stomachache?

Thank you, Miss Lin.

Thank you for delivering the medicine.

But why are you running so far?

I'm timid.

I'm afraid to see people taking medicine.

Please go ahead.

Sister.

(Help! Why does this plot never end?)

Lin Yu, how dare you harm my sister?

Wait.

I'll do it myself.

You do it.

- You deserve to die. - Be gentle.

Sister.

Deserve to die.

Deserve to die.

Deserve to die.

Deserve to die.

(The Medical Classic of the Yellow Emperor)

(Treatise on Febrile Diseases)

Mu Yao, what's wrong with your body?

Why can't you adapt to more than a dozen prescriptions?

This must be an acute allergic reaction.

But which herb are you allergic to?

I've already tried them all.

System.

System.

System.

System.

System, where are you?

System, come out quickly.

System, please help me.

I want to go home.

I want to go home.

I want to go home.

(Simplicity and Ambition)

Miss Lin, is this…

Water.

My sister should take medicine now.

But you've brought a bowl of water.

Every medicine has its side effect.

Water is the safest.

We won't take medicine today.

Let's drink water.

Come on.

Lin Yu.

What do you mean?

Sheng.

Miss Lin shows kindness.

I happen to be thirsty.

It's suitable for me.

Sister, be careful.

(Finally passed.)

(Such a genius idea.)

(I'm the only one who can think of it.)

(Replace the medicine in the pot with water.)

(Sure enough, it's foolproof.)

Sister!

Sister!

- It hurts. - Sister.

It's impossible.

Lin Yu,

what did you do to the water?

I told you it was water.

What else could I have done?

Sister.

I get it.

I finally get it.

Mu Sheng, it's me again.

I'm the one who killed your sister.

I've figured out what's wrong.

Go on, kill me!

Kill me quickly.

Hurry up and kill me.

What pot was used to make the medicine

that Miss Mu drank yesterday?

Miss,

it's a ceramic pot.

Where's the pot?

I accidentally broke it this morning.

So I replaced it with a new casserole.

That's right.

(The book just says)

(that Lin Yu changed the medicine.)

(I didn't expect it to be so effective.)

(I thought it was because the medicines were incompatible.)

(She didn't know)

(that Mu Yao wasn't allergic to the medicine at all.)

(She's allergic to the heavy metals in the glaze of the casserole.)

Then get a new iron pot.

And boil it again.

Alright.

It's so bitter.

Just bitter?

What do you mean?

Sister Mu,

do you feel anything else?

For example, a slight discomfort

in your stomach.

Or do you feel dizzy

- because of the hot weather? - Lin Yu.

Did you tamper with

my sister's medicine?

Sheng, don't be ridiculous.

Miss Lin is concerned about me.

Please don't mind, Miss Lin.

Sheng sometimes talks like this.

It's a little offensive.

I apologize to you for him.

Congratulations, Host.

Task two for a beginner has been completed.

Lin Yu,

what the hell are you doing?

You let my sister go.

Sister Mu,

I'm so glad you're okay.

I was so worried that something might have happened to you.

Don't worry.

I'm really afraid.

I'm fine. Don't worry.

I'm fine.

Sheng,

why are you standing outside?

What are you doing here?

Yao can't go out while she's recovering.

I guess she's bored.

So I've brought her

something to cheer her up.

Cheer up?

I don't think it's necessary.

That's right.

Sister Mu.
