The Overbearing Female Lead is Cool and Dazzling Ch.78

Not courting death means one will not die. 

Unfortunately, Mo Louliu and his group hadn’t yet grasped the meaning of this phrase. When they saw the two people they were discussing earlier looking their way, Mo Louliu smirked and walked over to them.

He Lianqing’s face grew even darker.

“It really is President He Lian, what a coincidence.” Mo Louliu looked meaningfully at the beautiful girl who was curiously tilting her head and said, “I heard from some subordinates that you actually brought someone along to buy clothes. I almost couldn’t believe it.”

He Lianqing’s eyes swirled with emotions, and her voice carried the danger and darkness of an approaching storm, “Do you have nothing better to do?” Are you so free that you come here to gossip?

“Hehe, not really. We’re just curious, you know?” Mo Louliu felt that something seemed off about the woman, but he still absentmindedly rubbed the back of his head and confidently said, “You actually voluntarily gave up your work to accompany a girl shopping, which sounded very unusual, you know!”

“You indeed know each other! I knew I wasn’t mistaken.” Just as He Lianqing was about to erupt in anger, Su Yanxi suddenly raised her lips and smiled, teasingly interjecting, “Ah Qing, just admit it!”

Hearing Su Yanxi’s clear and gentle voice, He Lianqing suppressed her raging emotions and coldly glanced at the annoying fool in front of her, her eyes revealing a hint of malice.

Finally noticing the abnormal expression of the devil,whose nickname was “Ferocious Beast,” Mo Louliu thought to himself: “…” Σ(っ°Д°;)っ Did I accidentally do something foolish again?

〒▽〒 This girl is clearly a fierce human beast at heart, how could I be deceived by the demon’s gentle express towards the girl!

As Mo Louliu turned his head to seek help from his little buddies, he found them looking left and right, up and down, with serious expressions as if they were observing the surrounding shops, and yet, they deliberately avoided looking in his direction.

Mo Louliu: “…” These heartless traitors! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!!

Even though Mo Louliu’s little buddies tried their best to distance themselves from him and pretended not to have seen anything, He Lianqing couldn’t forget the image of them being busybodies before. Consequently, they naturally became the target of punishment from the “Ferocious Beast” →_→

Mo Louliu was fine with it—he thought, to live and die together, that’s the highest level of friendship!

So, besides He Lianqing’s jealousy and Mo Louliu’s gossip-mongering, the various behaviors and actions of He Lianqing—made it clear to people in their social circle that the once cold and temperamental President He Lianqing now had a deeply cherished lover.

Though they didn’t know if the girl was some wealthy heiress or if she truly possessed the legendary stunning beauty, the fact that she could firmly control the temperamental and difficult-to-handle human beast, even taming her into a loyal dog, must have meant she was an exceptional woman.

“So, what kind of person is Ah Qing, really?”

When Mo Louliu was, for the first time ever, invited by President He Lianqing to her home, he was greeted with the slightly cool voice of a stunning young girl.

Mo Louliu swore that he definitely saw a threatening and dangerous glare of a ferocious beast, coming from behind the girl!

“He Lian, He Lian… no, I mean Ah Qing! She’s undoubtedly an incredibly outstanding person whom everyone admires (and fears), Mo Louliu chuckled nervously, She loves her work (workaholic), is friendly to others (as long as you don’t cross her), and she even ‘cares’ for her uncomfortable subordinates (and the discomfort is probably caused by her). Many people in the business world and even seniors admire her greatly (again, it’s more like fear). So, it’s not just us… friends! People at the company also really like Ah Qing. She’s caring, thoughtful, calm on the outside, and warm-hearted on the inside. She’s definitely a good, good person, haha!” 

After dryly reciting this cringeworthy (to himself) explanation, Mo Louliu felt like his stomach was in turmoil, tied up in knots, and it was causing him agony (:3)∠)

Mo Louliu felt so aggrieved he wanted to cry. He finally understood why the ferocious demon invited him. It must be because she accidentally revealed her true self in front of the girl!

“Wow, so Ah Qing is so well-regarded in your eyes?” Su Yanxi supported her chin, giggling mischievously, and teasingly glanced at He Lianqing, who was keeping a straight face. “I told you, Ah Qing always seems to look down on you all, but it’s just a joke. Fortunately, none of you took it seriously~”

Mo Louliu, who had recently duped by the demon during their cooperation: “…” No! That was definitely true!!

“Sorry, Ah Qing. I shouldn’t have easily doubted you based on how you treated your subordinates yesterday.” The girl turned around, hooking her arm around He Lianqing’s and leaning her head on her shoulder. “Forgive me, okay, Ah Qing?”

He Lianqing’s face softened immediately, gently tucking a strand of hair behind her cheek. “You know, I wasn’t even angry with you, my darling.”

Mo Louliu, who was forcibly fed dog food, couldn’t help but grimace in pain as he watched the sweet interaction between the two. Once again, he felt silently aggrieved and cried inwardly—this little enchantress, are you trying to torture us single dogs!

Isn’t it everyone’s responsibility to protect animals? Or is that not applicable to single dogs? Heh heh 【manual waving goodbye】

However, the single-minded and thick-skinned Mo Louliu quickly began to worry again. If He Lianqing accidentally exposed her true self again, in what way would he cover it up for her in the future…

In any case, from this point onward, everyone in their circle knew one thing.

In front of outsiders, He Lianqing was indeed a fierce, untamable, and temperamental beast.

—But in front of Su Yanxi, she could forever maintain the image of a gentle and considerate loyal dog.

>>>>>>>>

In this life, even though He Lianqing never fully recovered her memories, Su Yanxi felt deeply satisfied.

If she could live with her beloved in every world, even if He Lianqing never regained her memories, it didn’t matter to Su Yanxi as long as they weren’t discovered by the main system.

Because her beloved had engraved herself in Su Yanxi’s soul, what did it matter if she lost her memories? Su Yanxi would still instinctively find her and fall in love with her.

During this time, the male lead had come to find Su Yanxi, so she also learned that he and another subordinate had crossed over to this world. However, due to some mishap during the process, they didn’t land in the same location.

The white-haired young man had never forgotten how Su Yanxi had shielded him from that blow before crossing over, so he had been tirelessly searching for her. Thus, when he finally discovered her whereabouts, he brought his subordinate and came to her door, intending to take her with them.

He Lianqing simply kicked them out the door.

But afterwards, the male lead didn’t give up and continued to come looking for Su Yanxi time after time. It wasn’t until Su Yanxi ignored He Lianqing’s unwilling and sullen expression, made an appointment to meet him outside, and candidly declared that she had fallen in love with He Lianqing and couldn’t go back with him.

Though the male lead felt somewhat disappointed, he ultimately blessed the two of them.

After the male lead and his subordinates finally found a way back and left, Su Yanxi, during an unrelated incident, happened to learn about her identity; a loyal female subordinate to the antagonist boss in the two-dimensional comic.

During her low emotional period, He Lianqing sensitively noticed and quietly accompanied her for a long time until she regained her spirits.

—Her beloved was always so gentle and outstanding.

—She was so fortunate to have a woman who loved her like this.

—She only hoped that she could walk with He Lianqing to the end of happiness.

—If, if there were no other obstacles or interferences, how wonderful it would be.

Actually, the main system wasn’t the main system.

This might sound a bit confusing, well, perhaps it should be explained like this—the current main system is actually the reborn He Lianqing.

In the previous life, when He Lianqing met Su Yanxi, both of them were on a mission.

At that time, she wasn’t a VIP-level player and had to play the female lead following the plot, while Su Yanxi was just a newbie who had completed her beginner’s quest.

Although neither of them exposed their identities, they accidentally fell in love. When He Lianqing discovered that she had developed feelings for the gentle and weak little white rabbit supporting character, she thought that if she just deviated from the plot once, at most, she would lose some points, so she decisively made her move.

She couldn’t understand why the mission difficulty in this seemingly simple school world was S-rank. It wasn’t until she successfully captured Su Yanxi and disrupted the plot of this world that she had her first encounter with the so-called inner world of the Temporal Management Bureau…

Then she finally understood.

Su Yanxi was a data member created by the main system, entering the F-grade school world in a systematic manner to complete the supporting character department’s mission, which was to break up the CP.

However, she happened to be chosen by the Supreme God in a moment of whim to test the strength of abilities between data members from the surface and inside worlds, and was selected to enter this world, where her mission coincidentally was to play the female lead and follow the plot.

Having contradictory objectives, her challenge was to prevent the ​supporting character from derailing the plot while simultaneously dealing with the interference from the ​player in the ​outer world. These circumstances led to the mission in this world being classified as S-rank difficulty.

When peripheral players got involved with internal members and fell in love with them, it broke the balance between the surface and inside of the Temporal Management Bureau, something the main system naturally wouldn’t allow.

He Lianqing didn’t complete her mission, and the main system didn’t acknowledge Su Yanxi’s way of breaking up the CP, so they both had to receive punishment.

At this moment, Su Yanxi took the initiative and came forward, admitting that she voluntarily exposed her identity. He Lianqing, under the pressure from her system and persuaded by Agent 007 who Su Yanxi had asked for help, could only watch helplessly as her beloved shouldered all the responsibility, but she was powerless to stop it.

As expected, the main system believed her. Considering that Su Yanxi had only completed a beginner’s quest and He Lianqing was already an outstanding performer in the peripheral department, they finally deemed Su Yanxi as the source of trouble. Consequently, they heartlessly destroyed her personality, and He Lianqing had half her points deducted and was forcibly sent back to the peripheral world to continue her mission.

He Lianqing had also experienced despair and dejection. She had thought about chasing after Susu and leaving like that, but ultimately, she compromised.

The cold and frosty words from 007, who had lost their anger and vivacity after Su Yanxi was terminated, remained etched in He Lianqing’s memory as she was reassigned to the peripheral department.

If she reached the Honor VIP level player status, she could freely traverse different worlds, even breaking through the boundaries of the surface world and entering the inside of the Temporal Management Bureau.

From that moment on, driven by a deep-seated hatred towards the main system and an unyielding desire for revenge, she endured humiliation and carried heavy burdens, tirelessly completing mission after mission, gradually becoming the no. 1 player in the external world.

Not knowing how many missions she had done, not knowing how much time had passed, He Lianqing finally became an honor VIP player, a rank personally bestowed by the Supreme God that no one had ever achieved before.

She finally had the power to surpass the main system.

Thus, taking advantage of the Supreme God’s absence from the bureau and with the help of 007, who had been waiting for her arrival, He Lianqing launched a surprise attack on the unguarded main system, reducing the Temporal Management Bureau to ruins.

In the end, she won the war.

He Lianqing assimilated the energy of the main system, replacing it as the new main system.

—Did you see that, Susu?

—I’ve finally avenged you.

He Lianqing lay on the chaotic ground, her eyes slowly turning red, then she covered her eyes with the back of her hand.

Unexpectedly, a soft laughter escaped her lips, gradually escalating into louder bursts. She laughed until her shoulders trembled, and her body convulsed uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.

—But now…

—You can never come back.

—Never…

—Come back…

The manic laughter gradually subsided, and then, a suppressed sob filled with pain and desolation emerged.

—This world, without your existence, what meaning does it have?

—Susu, I love you, I love you, I love you…

—I love you…

“Do you want her to come back?”

A voice that seemed to be smiling but also filled with a seductive allure suddenly sounded.

He Lianqing naturally recognized whose voice it was. She didn’t hope to deceive the Supreme God, who could create the colossal entity known as the Temporal Management Bureau.

However, now that the great revenge was fulfilled but Su Yanxi was no longer here, she felt everything had lost its meaning. Therefore, He Lianqing just simply let go, her gaze empty, staring at the crumbling ceiling above, unmoving like a lifeless puppet, as if she had fallen asleep with her eyes open, and yet as if she had—

…already quietly died.

“I have a way to bring back that child called Su Yanxi, as long as you are willing to pay the price.”

He Lianqing’s eyelids twitched slightly, her lips struggling to form a sarcastic curve, but they fell back weakly.

—Susu’s data has already been destroyed. Even if she becomes the main system and can recreate Susu’s appearance based on the data, so what?

—She still wouldn’t be Susu.

—Susu is unique, the one and only Su Yanxi in the whole world.

—Anyone else who looks like her would just be replicas, discarded replicas…

“I’m not talking about creating data, you’re thinking too much.” The Supreme God’s lips curled up slightly, deliberately lowering his voice, “Do you know… about time reversal?”

He Lianqing’s expression finally changed.

>>>>>>>>

“Why are you helping me?”

Before reversing time, He Lianqing coldly asked the man across from her.

She couldn’t believe that after destroying the Temporal Management Bureau like this and devouring one of his capable generals, the Supreme God would still generously help her.

“You always think too much.” The Supreme God sighed and shook his head, then he said with interest, “Just as you thought, you’ve destroyed my hard work and even my main system. The problem is that the main system’s energy is with you, and now you can’t find a reason to live, let alone take over as the main system.”

“So, that’s why I need you to pay the price to reverse time, and to reset the entire space-time  to go back to how it was before.”

He Lianqing narrowed her eyes, seeming to understand something.

“The main system’s energy is with you, so only you can be the main system. When you go back to find Su Yanxi again, you can safely become my main system. My Temporal Management Bureau will remain intact, and the main system won’t collapse, and I won’t need to pay the price for that. Isn’t that a win-win situation for me?”

Moreover—she could even get to marry her beloved little wife earlier this time.

The Supreme God had a well-devised plan, and his smile became even more fox-like.

So, in the end, guided by the Supreme God, He Lianqing expended all her energy to reverse time, finally returning to the moment when Su Yanxi had just left for her mission.

Everything remained the same, except she was no longer the peripheral member struggling to act as the female lead.

He Lianqing had become the main system.

She feared any timeline deviations, so she wanted to enter the world where she first met with Su Yanxi. But due to the main system’s power restrictions, she couldn’t enter lower-level worlds, which caused Su Yanxi’s first world to change from F-grade to S-grade.

Therefore, to ensure that she could enter each world where Su Yanxi did missions, He Lianqing claimed that her unique strategy required her to tackle higher-difficulty worlds.

Due to her previous time reversal, He Lianqing lacked sufficient energy, and her memories would be suppressed every time she entered a new world. Luckily, they would always fall in love in each world.

Finally, when her past self became a VIP player, He Lianqing released the next mission and confirmed that Su Yanxi accepted it. Only then did she merge with her past self to gain complete power, allowing her to meet Su Yanxi with her true identity as He Lianqing.

Thus, after the apocalypse, the appearance of each female lead started to become similar, because they were all He Lianqing, using her body to search for Su Yanxi in each world.

While this amused the Supreme God, He Lianqing felt frustrated because she couldn’t fully recover her memories when entering each world. Therefore, she couldn’t inform Su Yanxi of her true identity, and by the time she returned to the system space, Su Yanxi had already chosen the next world.
