Starting with a Breakup: Why Is the True Heiress My Possessive Ex? - Chapter 85
Even after she fell asleep, Su Qingya continued holding me tightly.
She never let go.
It seemed she had genuinely forgotten everything that had happened earlier.
I was still fuming.
If she didn’t want to continue, then fine—I didn’t care.
So, while she was asleep, I quietly slipped into the bathroom and took care of things myself.
By the time I finally went to bed, I was exhausted.
Before I knew it…
Morning had arrived.
The first thing Xu Nian did after waking up was check today’s daily mission.
Today’s Daily Mission
A little flirting is a great way to strengthen a couple’s relationship.
To get revenge for your girlfriend’s prank, tie her up, steal her Holy Sword, and deliver a decisive counterattack.
“…?”
Today’s mission felt…
A little unusual.
Was it encouraging her to take the initiative for once?
Whatever the case…
Simulation attempts were far too valuable to waste.
With danger drawing closer every day, she couldn’t afford to miss even a single opportunity because of a difficult mission.
As usual…
Su Qingya carefully brushed Xu Nian’s hair, straightened her clothes, and tidied her fluffy fox tail with the concentration of an artist polishing a masterpiece.
Meanwhile…
Xu Nian secretly hid a length of rope behind her back.
“Qingya.”
“Want to play a game?”
“A game?”
Su Qingya gave her a curious look.
Whenever Xu Nian wore that expression…
It usually meant trouble.
Still…
She was her girlfriend.
So she chose to indulge her.
“Hold out your hands.”
Su Qingya obediently complied.
“Now copy me.”
Xu Nian pressed her palms together into a loose fist.
Su Qingya mirrored the movement.
The instant she did—
Xu Nian quickly looped the rope around her wrists.
“…Ah?”
Su Qingya blinked in surprise.
She clearly hadn’t expected Xu Nian to actually tie her up.
Seeing her instinctively trying to pull away, Xu Nian hurriedly explained,
“It’s a game!”
“I saw it in a video yesterday.”
“The challenge is to see whether you can escape.”
“Just play along with me, okay?”
Su Qingya hesitated briefly.
Then, after thinking it over…
She allowed Xu Nian to continue.
Unfortunately…
Xu Nian quickly discovered that tying someone securely was much harder than it looked.
After fumbling around for quite a while…
She couldn’t produce anything impressive.
She couldn’t help regretting her earlier reward choice.
If only I’d picked Master-Level Knot-Tying…
I’d have so many more options right now.
In the end…
After considerable effort…
She managed to tie two simple dead knots around Su Qingya’s wrists.
“There.”
“Ready?”
“Can I start trying to escape now?”
“Not yet.”
Of course…
Binding Su Qingya wasn’t Xu Nian’s real objective.
Su Qingya glanced at the ordinary rope.
She knew she could easily cut it with her ability whenever she wanted.
Rather than worrying…
She became increasingly curious about what Xu Nian was planning.
Then—
Without another word—
Xu Nian gently pushed her backward onto the bed.
The petite fox girl leaned over her, looking up with bright, beautiful eyes.
“This is a couple’s game.”
“So you have to take it seriously.”
She spoke shyly.
Su Qingya’s eyes immediately lit up.
A couple’s game?
Well…
Now she was fully awake.
Among all the things in the world…
Couple’s games were her favorite.
Looking at their current position…
It really did feel rather intimate.
Then…
Xu Nian reached into her invisible storage and produced the “Holy Sword” she had secretly taken the previous night.
Its familiar buzzing filled the room.
“…Wait.”
Su Qingya’s expression immediately changed.
She suddenly had a very bad feeling.
“Niannian…”
“You really mean to use that…?”
“Of course.”
“Why wouldn’t this count as a couple’s game?”
Without giving Su Qingya time to protest…
Xu Nian charged forward with the determination of someone carrying out an important mission.
The next moment…
Su Qingya experienced exactly what Xu Nian had gone through the night before.
The intense vibration made her entire body tense instinctively.
She turned her face aside, raising her bound hands in a futile attempt to shield herself.
The shy expression she wore…
Combined with the faint blush on her cheeks…
Made her look unexpectedly enchanting.
Xu Nian couldn’t help smiling.
So this is how she felt yesterday…
No wonder Su Qingya had enjoyed teasing her so much.
“I-I was wrong!”
“I won’t tease you like that again!”
“Please…”
“Let me go!”
“It’s numb!”
“It really is!”
“D-Don’t keep going!”
Ding! Daily Mission Complete!
Simulation Attempts +1
Remaining Attempts: 1
Mission accomplished.
Xu Nian immediately stopped.
“Alright.”
“That’s enough.”
She let go without any hesitation.
Instead…
It was Su Qingya who looked at her strangely.
“…Why are you behaving so well today?”
“Because I was the victim yesterday.”
“I just wanted you to experience the same thing.”
“It’s much easier to understand when you’ve gone through it yourself.”
Su Qingya’s entire face turned bright red.
Wasn’t that basically making fun of what she’d done last night?
“…Ugh.”
For a brief moment…
She almost wanted to ask for more.
But…
The atmosphere no longer felt appropriate.
“Niannian!”
With a surge of strange energy, the rope binding her wrists quietly dissolved.
Su Qingya stood up in embarrassment.
Before leaving the room…
She lightly smacked Xu Nian on the backside, making her jump.
Clearly…
She had turned embarrassment into retaliation.
“Hehe.”
Xu Nian chuckled.
She could distinctly feel the Joy energy within her body increasing.
Still…
Today’s real objective wasn’t the mission.
It was the extra simulation attempt.
Now…
It was time to test her hypothesis.
Ding! Simulation Initiated.
Simulation Attempt -1
Remaining Attempts: 0
Simulation Starting…
For reasons unknown, you learned the details of Lin Ye’s ritual and developed a rough plan to destroy it.
You sought out the gang leader Lin Ye intended to target.
At first, he dismissed your warnings.
Only after witnessing your abilities firsthand did he finally believe you.
Operating under the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the two of you formed a temporary alliance.
You secretly monitored the individuals Lin Ye intended to control, using your Joy abilities to interfere with the process whenever possible.
Your interference did not escape Lin Ye’s notice.
Every failed domination attempt convinced him another Weaver was sabotaging his ritual.
Rather than investigating further…
He simply grew furious.
He attempted to dominate you as well.
You deliberately pretended to fall under his control.
Thanks to your unwavering heart—immune to deception—you flawlessly disguised yourself, allowing him to believe the domination had succeeded.
As a result…
You effortlessly infiltrated Lin Ye’s inner circle.
There was no longer any need for elaborate disguises.
To someone obsessed with domination…
A successfully controlled subordinate was the most trustworthy ally imaginable.
While secretly contacting those targeted by Lin Ye…
You also searched for weaknesses within his organization.
Then…
You made an unexpected discovery.
Your Joy ability seemed capable of subtly altering reality itself.
It was almost as though a powerful Joy-path Weaver had secretly left you a back door…
Allowing you to manipulate events with surprising ease.
From that day onward…
Lin Ye’s domination ability began failing.
Anyone he successfully controlled would inexplicably break free after a short time.
He found it impossible to understand.
Repeated failures left him increasingly frustrated.
Even members of his own family began questioning his competence.
You soon learned the reason.
Lin Ye was not the Lin family’s only heir.
He was simply the most promising candidate.
If he proved incapable of maintaining his position…
Someone else would replace him.
The repeated failures of his abilities had become an unmistakable warning sign.
After learning this…
You intensified your interference.
Lin Ye became more desperate with each passing day.
The more his domination failed…
The stronger his desire to dominate grew.
Only you knew…
That with every passing moment…
He was sinking deeper and deeper into the reality you had carefully created.
