Why did Bing Shi and Xuan Mu always spare Mo Lu Wei? Silika Lin adored her fans and Su Min was among her greatest fans. Mo Luwei’s existence was saved by Su Min without the man himself realizing it.

Xuan Mu thought about how to pass through the thick armour of human flesh without cheating; he didn’t have much energy left to waste. He wanted to spare stinky bun from crying after his mommy but it seemed like tough times called for equally tough measures. His son’s imprisoned soul escaped his clutches and flew into the little body next to Silvia’s.

Suddenly, a tiny ticking bomb exploded, accidents happened and cries of misfortune followed. Hearing a detonated grenade, Xuan Mu ran after the sound in alarm, Mo Luwei followed after him.

Contrary to what he previously thought, the bad side was actually taking over the good guys at an alarmingly fast rate.

“Daddy, daddy,” tangled inside the countless life support, Ying Xong looked around in terror as he cried loudly. Not recognizing the crying Su Min, his fists hit the glass of the capsule, wanting to get out. Before he could see the soulless body of his mommy next to him, and realize the truth, he was enveloped in a big hug.

Rocking the little boy who was covered in snot and tears, Xuan Mu carried him outside, “Did you miss daddy?”

.....

“Daddy,” clutching to the wet shirt, the boy’s sobbing quietened down. His soul might have realized what happened, but now he was just a little toddler. Innocent and so clueless about the happenings in the world, he asked about the whereabouts of his mommy, “Mommy, Mommy?”

Ying Xong’s words were like a rope squeezing around Xuan Mu’s neck. He was wide awake about the current situation, and the fear of getting near her body was overwhelming. Whoever transmigrated to that body would be the new female lead of the world. He couldn’t bring himself to do it. To place another soul within.

No different from a hypocrite, he was more than fine with Bing Shi taking over another’s identity, yet he was far from fine when someone wanted to take over her body. He sent Su Luqin into a reincarnation cycle. He was not someone who willingly did charity cases anyway. You want something? Go get it yourself.

“Daddy?” Before Ying Xiong could wipe his running nose with his sleeve, a piece of cloth covered his nose.

“We will have to do without mommy for a little longer than usual,” Xuan Mu helped the boy to blow his nose as he left the hospital with guns and snipers pointing in their direction.

The father and son duo were not intimidated in the slightest as they talked to each other in a strange babyish tone. Xuan Mu had seen enough and it was time to go where their home was, for the body they left behind didn’t offer the comfort they sought.

Mo Luwei’s hands clenched into a fist. At the moment, he was the least proud of who he was. He abandoned his son. He failed as a man. He was supposed to be a strong man with the softness of a father but now, he saw that when he tried to redeem his actions, it was too late.

Having all the riches and power in the world couldn’t get Mo Luwei his blood and flesh back. How could he live with that image in his mind? The problem was never Su Min nor Silika Lin, but him. His anger was just that: a flash of fire to cover his own weakness.

The apartment complex, which was observed days and nights without any given privacy was suddenly set ablaze. Flames rose into the night as if they challenged the heavens to stop their consumption of what was their home and place of sanctuary. The fire was a terrible golden ball, igniting the night, outshining the stars; torn from the city, and from the rest of the world too.

Did the sleepless elite come up with this indistinguishable fire? No. Xuan Mu’s flames transformed the building into the most transient of graces, hot ribbons of light. There were times that parts of the raging flames sparked as if they wanted more than one crazy way to show their might. It was as if they needed to leap, to fly, to howl in protest, giving a sense that all that was good in the universe had cried out in pain.

Xuan Mu, carrying a sleeping boy, slowly disappeared into the dark. A house had a way of becoming part of one’s life, a place of memories and years lived. Watching it burn was hard. It could be rebuilt, naturally. What helped was to picture that new place, that new home, waiting for him in the world of future time.

Bing Shi and Xuan Mu bestowed the best ending upon someone unexpected. It didn’t matter if they liked Su Min and Mo Luwei or not. The other party gave birth to their son’s soul’s body, something whose value couldn’t be assessed.

That included giving Su Min the man of her dreams. In the time of the crisis, Mo Luwei stepped out to change the dire situation. He didn’t want his wife and son to live in such a dangerous region. As an ex-male lead, he couldn’t become a male lead of the same world again.

Another of Bing Shi’s goals was obtained.

After Ying Xong’s departure, the world gave rise to the new male lead.

Xuan Mu got what he wanted too. Binfinity needed more than a capable executive. It needed someone passionate about the ideology behind it rather than the profit itself.

Li Jie, the new male lead, and Binfinity further strengthened their alliance. (Remember how Xuan Mu invited Li Jie to their nest, and why Bing Shi scattered as soon as they started to talk about business? Xuan Mu also visited Li Jie before the confession in the cafeteria.)

Li Jie touched the glass of the capsule, watching over the sleeping woman.

He wanted her. He always did.

Now, there was no one else to stand in their way anymore.

Lie Jie wanted to take over the leading position and spread Binfinity’s research beyond the energy sector, whether he did so for selfish reasons or not, only he knew. (Obviously, it was to revive Silika Lin.)

Unfortunately, because of a certain man’s jelly tendencies and a certain woman overdoing it too much, it would take some time before HQ found a suitable soul, worthy enough of her legacy.

See? Even his wife was reluctant in giving her identity away.

She had to expect him to burn the house together with her but... well, guess not. He also mended the world... a bit half-assedly...

Ok, very half-assedly.

Giving a finishing touch here and there.

With a few casualties there and here.

But he did mend the world. Half-assedly, but still.

That’s what counted the most.

+—- Author’s note —–+

An open ending...

....For every character. ??

There are many novels with self-called ‘villains’ or ‘wronged villains’ that only punish the ‘bad’ guys.

What about Bing Shi? She helped many but also killed many innocent people and let the ‘bad’ guys live; more than often, she took their side too.

She thinks that she is still a good person, but is she?

The villain is a title others grant upon you. Nobody around her could accuse her of being one.

In the end, she still got the ‘good person’ title she bestowed upon herself.

This arc is called a Sleepless Elite’s wife, but in reality, she’s the Hidden Elite herself. She always was. Since her first lifetime.

I think the most dangerous and terrifying enemies are the ones we can’t see. They don’t give you a chance to go against them nor give you an opportunity to take revenge on them.

You’ll realize what I mean in the next arc:

War Of The Wickeds!

Yay!

Are you ready?
