MTL - Reborn to be a Stepmother - Chapter 356 Leaving Jiangnan Wangfu

Akashi was a boy so beautiful it seemed the gods had sculpted him with a touch of mischief and a dash of fragility. He wasn’t handsome in the rugged, masculine way of knights or warriors. No—his beauty was softer, captivating in its innocence. His frame was small, almost delicate, and his pale skin looked as if it had never known hardship, kissed only by the gentle sunlight of his village fields.With wide, striking black eyes that shimmered like obsidian under moonlight, and hair the color of a calm, endless ocean, Akashi possessed a charm that defied age, status, or reason. He didn’t know it, but his very existence pulled at the hearts of those who saw him—like an untouched gem waiting to be claimed.And yet, he had been untouched for a reason. Akashi had never known life beyond the boundaries of his village. He grew up surrounded by warm smiles and familiar voices. Every elder knew his name. Every child wanted to play by his side. His days were simple, his heart untouched by cruelty.But peace is a fragile thing.One night, it shattered.The sky turned crimson. Screams tore through the quiet air. Fires devoured homes. Demons—twisted beasts of shadow and rage—descended without warning. They killed with a hunger that could not be reasoned with.By morning, the village was gone.Ashes, corpses, and silence were all that remained.And Akashi… Akashi was alone.The last heartbeat in a graveyard of memories.He wandered for days, hollow and dazed, until rough hands seized him. Chains replaced freedom. Smiles were replaced by cold appraisals. And so, the boy once adored by all became something else—something to be sold.A slave.At the capital's grand auction house, he was stripped, washed, and displayed like merchandise. His beauty caused a stir. Whispers spread like wildfire.“Look at those eyes...”“That hair... Is it dyed? No, it’s real...”“So delicate... Is he even human?”To them, he was no longer a boy with a heart, but a prize to possess. A fantasy in fragile form.He stood on the stage, trembling slightly, barely able to process what was happening. The voices of the crowd blurred together—hungry, leering, filled with desire and greed. The auctioneer’s booming voice called out the bids as if Akashi were nothing more than a fine vase or a rare jewel.The numbers climbed quickly. Too quickly. Akashi’s knees weakened beneath the weight of invisible eyes drinking him in. He stared at the marble floor, trying not to cry.Then, suddenly, the room fell silent.A voice—deep, commanding, and heartbreakingly beautiful—cut through the air like silk over steel.“Fifteen thousand gold.”Time seemed to pause.Every head turned.At the back of the room, standing beneath the golden chandelier, was a woman unlike any other.She wore a flowing red gown that hugged her form like it was crafted by the gods themselves. Her long, golden hair shimmered like strands of sunlight, cascading over her shoulders with effortless grace. Her eyes, cold and blue as a glacier’s heart, stared ahead with quiet power.Even the nobles drew back. This was no ordinary bidder.It was one of the Princesses of the Three Great Kingdoms.Whispers erupted anew—but no one dared challenge her offer.Who would?She stood like royalty incarnate, a goddess who walked among mortals, and she had just claimed Akashi as her own.The boy raised his head slowly, unsure of whether to feel fear or relief. His eyes met hers—just for a second—and something in his chest shifted. She didn’t smile. She didn’t leer. Her gaze was unreadable.But it was powerful. Absolute.And it made his knees weak for an entirely new reason.He didn’t know her name. Not yet.But she had bought him.And somewhere deep inside, something told him—his life was never going to be the same.

The first time they met on a blind date, Ji Sang agreed to Fu Yisi's proposal to get married.The second time they met, they tied the knot at the civil affairs bureau.The third time they met, just back in the country, Ji Sang looked at the man who came to pick her up and decided she wanted him to be her model.Ji Sang thought her husband, whom she married through an arranged marriage, was a gentleman on the outside but cold and indifferent on the inside.But unexpectedly, the man turned out to be so sultry and scheming!Fu Yisi: 'Do you like jawlines, hmm?Fu Yisi: 'Want to touch?'Fu Yisi: 'Am I good enough? You can check yourself.'Ji Sang is a giant in thought but a dwarf in action, rendered powerless by his teasing. She imagined it countless times until one day after an argument between them, Dr. Fu leisurely took off his shirt.'Didn't you want to shoot me? I'll let you shoot to your heart's content.'A socially anxious and aloof photographer x A cold-faced, quiet, sharp-tongued but kind-hearted Dr. Fu.

Song Dingding has become a vicious female supporting actress with deep scheming in an abusive essay.
The main reason was because of jealousy of the fascinated little junior sister. After taking credit for the junior sister, he framed the junior sister and the demon domain fornicating, so that the junior sister was severely punished and expelled from the Tianzongmen by the male master.
The little sister was tortured and died
With the help of the second male and the third male, he returned to Tianzongmen, publicly exposed the original owner’s conspiracy, and personally smashed the original owner to ashes
When Song Dingding passed by, the younger sister had already been expelled from the teacher’s door and her face was disfigured. She showed people with a veil all day.
System: The male lead is immortal, the second male is gentle and affectionate, the third male is paranoid and gloomy, the host’s task is to guide…
Song Dingding: Strategies for the second and third male protagonists?
System: No, it’s the Raiders Junior Sister.
Song Dingding:  …
This is fucking outrageous
In order to survive, Song Dingding disguised as a man, while frantically boosting his favorability in front of the younger sister, while preventing the younger sister from falling in love with the second and third male protagonists.
The male protagonist gave the little sister a sacrificial elixir
Song Dingding grabbed the little junior sister’s hand and was heartbroken: “He can’t accept your current appearance, he doesn’t really love you.”
The second man gave the little sister a papaya and crucian carp soup to nourish her body
Song Dingding grabbed the little junior sister’s hand and gritted his teeth: “He must have disliked you for having a flat chest. He doesn’t really love you.”
The third male gave the little sister a token of love for the mandarin duck purse
Song Dingding grabbed the younger sister’s hand and sighed: “These two mandarin ducks are males. He clearly treats you as a brother, but he doesn’t really love you.”
The little junior sister cooperated very well: “I understand, A Ding is the one who really loves me.”
Everything went smoothly until Song Dingding completed the task and changed into women’s clothes and was about to escape, when he was caught by the little junior sister.
Song Dingding hugged the younger sister’s thigh, crying and repenting: “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I lied to you, I’m not a man…”
The little sister raised her jaw with a sword, and in a low and lazy voice, said with a casual smile: “It’s okay, I am.”
