《Spending The Villain's Money To Extend My Life -CHEAT SYSTEM- (1) (1 - 199)》Chp 8:Fill Up Her Closet (2)

She gulped and quickly clicked back to the Life Value screen.
The Life Bar that was very fragile before had increased a little bit!
One gulp of milk and one bite of bread extended her life!
Extended her life by 10 minutes!
Gu Shishi was immediately happy.
As she was eating at the Huo’s, the system determined that these were from Huo Sishen.
Did that mean all she needed to do was to keep eating to stay alive?
Thinking about that, she quickly put down the bread. Happily, she put a piece of salmon roll into her mouth.
[Recharge successfully!]
Happily, Gu Shishi squinted her eyes. This eggroll was crispy and smooth, and has tender fresh salmon in the middle. Definitely the best that she has ever had.
And a big bite recharged $10!
“Eh, Mr. Chef, can I have some more salmon?”
That’s the most expensive one!
“Thank you~”
DING! DING! DING!
Gu Shishi kept on eating and the Blood Bar continued to increase.
She was completely relished and enraptured in eating.
Its money coming in with each juicy bite!
Just when she was indulging in her activities, she heard urgent footsteps approaching her from afar.
“Jie, Huo-da ge said he wanted to call off the engagement. What happened?” The fragile, panting voice came before she saw the person.
(T/N: Jie = older sister; da ge = oldest brother)
“Shuangshuang, slow down, or you will have tightness in your chest again. She doesn’t know how good she has it, there’s nothing you can do about it,” came the voice of Huo Wencheng.
Gu Shishi looked up and saw the one who walked into the dining room first.
A white dress that’s taken in at the waist, hair down to her shoulder with a light blue hair band. Her entire person was enwrapped in a sense of fragile but soft attractiveness.

This was the archnemesis of this body – Gu Wushuang , the girl who was born on the same day, switched on the same day and became the adopted daughter of the Gu’s.
“Jie, did you guys have a fight?” Gu Wushuang walked over to her and tried to hold her hand in a friendly manner.
But, Gu Shishi had a fork in her left hand and the knife in her right so she wasn’t able to grab any of them. She stopped awkwardly in the middle.
As much as Gu Wushuang tried to hide it, Gu Shishi could still detect the elusive despise and pride in her eyes.
Gu Wushuang, who had been raised in the upper class for over 20 years, simply looked down on this girl who grew up in poverty.
“Nothing,” Gu Shishi gave her a run around with a chuckle.
All she did was hide in his closet was all. Ho ho ho.
“Jie…” Gu Wushuang quickly said, but was choked back by her own sob after just one word. Tears welled up in her eyes and were about to roll down any minute.
Lowering her head, she covered her face painfully.
“I know, jie jie didn’t like this arrangement. Huo-da ge doesn’t have the best reputation, and he didn’t even show up at the engagement ceremony. That wasn’t nice of him. It was all because of me, all my fault……
“If only my body is healthy, I would be able to take your place and marry Huo-da ge, and not have to let you suffer.” As she was speaking, her body shook from side to side, as though she had committed such an awful act and was ashamed to be seen by anyone.
“Shuangshuang, that’s nonsense! She’s the daughter of Gu’s, of course the engagement would be between her and my big brother. What does that have to do with you?”

Huo Wencheng, standing by her side, immediately catch her with his arms. His handsome face full of worry and heartache.
“Forget about her! Let me take you home and have a doctor come and check you out.”
Gu Shishi pursed her lips.
Was that her little-white-flower trick?
(T/N: little white flower = describes a woman being weak and fragile)
She just pretended to be fragile every time, earned everyone’s sympathy while she stood on the top of the moral standard, took away anything nice and pushed the original owner into a deep abyss?

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.

Hell’s seven Colours to rule Hell’s seven kingdoms. Red, Green, Grey, Blue, Yellow, White and Black. Satan, the ultimate lord and commander of all seven Kingdoms had made it so. No one remembered where the Colours came from or when they last lived without them. It just became a way of life.

At least that was the plan until she is abruptly visited by a man with horns and wings…
8 168His To Keep (COMPLETED)✔️
"What's your name?" He gently asked as he approached me, the rage and hatred that had once painted his features now gone."A-Avery," I stammered out, my body slightly shaking out of fear."Avery," he repeated, my name sounding beautiful as it slid past his lips. The moon trickled through the treetops and illuminated his goldy body as he continued stroking my cheek beneath the soft moonlight. I found myself closing my eyes and leaning into his strangely addicting touch and despite how badly I wanted to pull away, but body refused to and basked in the warm sparks that only my dangerous and feared mate could cause. ***The day Avery's parents decided to leave her and go rogue was the day her once happy heaven became a scorching hell with her demon of an Alpha relentlessly abusing her along with the pack members, being able to have her do whatever they want without any boundaries or limits. One night, the infamous Blood Crescent anti-pack attacks her home, leading to the death of her Luna, the only one who'd cared for her, and creating a new hell for her to endure. But what happens when she finds out her mate is the heartless Alpha of this anti-pack that destroyed everything she'd ever known? Will she be able to keep her head above water or will her mate's dark secrets and past tie themselves to her ankles and drown her in the sea of uncertainty and doubt? (It's not as cliche as it seems, trust me. Try it and I'm sure you'll like it)Copyright © 2015Rewritten version © 2017All rights reservedBeautiful cover by @BloodyToni
