MTL - She Has Been Retired For Three Months - Chapter 23 On the Self-cultivation of the Dark Saint (1)

“The masterminds are cooler than heroes,” I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game.Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit.Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not?***[Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.]What?[Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.]Wait, what?![Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.]And, why would I do that?![Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.]Why would I save him?![The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?]Ah! I give up...It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things.In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker.I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need?Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though.I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse!Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is...[Failure: Destruction of the World.]It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped.If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing.[Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.]“If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne.”And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

After being drunk, Lu Qing was unfortunately bound to the No. 537 live broadcast system and dressed as a cannon fodder in the Matthew Xianwen.
On the first night, I was with the most miserable female partner, Xianzun Yu Tang.
[The live room is instantly boiling]
[Excuse me, how does Lu Shen feel? 】
Lu Qing: It’s… quite bald, but not bad.
In order to change the mentally retarded plot and return to reality after reaching 3,000 in the live broadcast room, Lu Qing decided that she had to lick the watchers.
[The live broadcast is in progress, and the gifts are swiped! 】
[Let’s watch Tang Qing CP is sweet and sweet! 】
[Don’t pour glass slag into my mouth, otherwise the review will be deducted! 】
…
No, why is the style of this live studio getting more and more wrong!
after……
The male protagonist healed Yu Tang and became Lu Qing to suck out the poisonous blood from Yu Tang’s body.
The beauty was supposed to be held in the arms of the male protagonist, but instead Lu Qing was called into the room. The always cold person blushed, lowered her eyebrows and called her name: “Aqing.”
Live broadcast room: [Lu Shen is delighted to have won a sweet girl, and he is delighted! ! ! 】
——
Originally thought she had become a small cannon fodder, but overnight, Lu Qing turned into a saint of magic, and was instantly on the opposite side of Yu Tang.
Immortal sects of various factions: “Kill the devil to death!”
Rumor has it that Xianzun Yutang and the demon saintess fought fiercely for three days and three nights in Qianxue Grottoes because of a man, but they both lost and their lives were uncertain.
Zhongxianmen: “Xianzun has the world in his heart, and the demon girl is eager to kill the demon girl. It is true that I am honored by Xianmen!”
Inside the Qianxue Cave Palace
Lu Qing stared at the blushing woman. After a long time, he rolled his eyes and smiled innocently: “Xianzun, do you still like it?”
“Why are you always like this, don’t say such things again, deity-”
“Good, do you like me?”
“like.”

*Nothing can come between my husband and I,not even death.*

~She was sad, hurt, and depressed. She was a mess, a monster who was slowly fading in her dark, lonely world until he came along. Like a twinkle little star, he brightened her horrid world. He was no one but her happy pill~

(Couple 1)

“Tell me Wifey, has any man ever made you feel the way I do?” Lei Zhao asked.

“Will it hurt if I tell you someone has?” Yan Mei inquired.

A cheeky grin appeared on Lei Zhao's lips.

“It wouldn't because I am sure no one has done it, especially the way you scream with pleasure under me.”

--------

Yan Mei, an aloof CEO known as the devil strongly believes love is a scam because she has experienced the joy and sadness of it. Now her heart has turned into a piece of stone encased by steel.

Lei Zhao only has time for one thing in his life: work, after the death of his brother, which made him devastated and broken.

After a chance encounter with a woman in a red suit at a club, he finds himself drawn to her.

Something about the mysterious woman has him determined to make her his and unlock the mystery of the pain that flickers in her eyes.

~But will the devil give him a chance? Even though at times, the devil needs love too.~

*****

(Couple 2)

~She became the monster, parents told their kids to run away from, but she was far from a monster. She was just a lonely girl who wanted a friend who would always be there for her, who would check up on her and ask her how she was~

“This isn't a fairytale or a teen fiction where the bad girl falls for the good boy and tries to change for him, and then they live happily ever after. This is real life, and well, life is fucked up.”

Ying Sheng said, and she gulped the beer she was holding, loneliness flickering in her eyes.

“But I-I won't ask you.. to change or want you to change. I just want you to be my bad girl. You --can tie me up in bed- and fu…ck me until I forget my name.” Liam stammered as he turned crimson red.

Ying Sheng heaved a sigh, “Cutie, you're supposed to look for a trophy wife who can cook and do chores. Not a monster like me who will destroy your perfect life. Also, we can't be together.”

Liam's heart nearly stopped in his chest when he heard her. His shoulders hunched, and he took a deep breath.

“Why?” He queried.

“Because I love someone else.”

~At times you have to choose between the one you love and the one who loves you. Ying Sheng learned this in a hard way.~

Two broken-hearted women, each broken in their own way.....with two determined men, ready to fix their broken pieces at all costs.

This is a story of betrayal, love and second chances. Ready to enjoy the journey and learn along?

*No evil mother-in-law, step-sister or cheating bestfriend

*Not your usual cliche flash marriages novel

*Bad girl X Good boy
