When Su Momo woke up, the view outside was an endless expanse of fields bathed in bright sunlight.
Someone pushed the door open, and she fixed her gaze on the person.
With long eyebrows that met at the temples, a pair of eyes resembling a crescent moon on the horizon, a nose as straight as a peak, and thin lips that concealed a playful smile, he was undeniably handsome. Unfortunately, he was a fraud!
"Ah? You're awake?"
The voice belonged to Ye Gu.
Su Momo coldly smiled. "How should I address you, Ye Gu? Or should I call you 'stinky monk'?"
At this point, there was no need for her to pretend she hadn't seen through him.
"There has never been a Ye Gu in this world, nor has there been a Wang Chen. My real name is Ye Guchen, and I am quite skilled in disguise."
"How rude," she retorted with indifference.
Ye Guchen pouted in dissatisfaction and sat down in front of Su Momo. "I solved two major problems for you, yet you don't thank me and speak to me in such a tone. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
Su Momo was infuriated by his flippant attitude. "When did I ask you to help me solve any ridiculous problems?"
She had hands and feet, and she was skilled in martial arts. If he hadn't interrupted her halfway through, she would have completed her revenge plan long ago.
This male protagonist with his big man mentality preached about not letting hatred cloud one's judgment while secretly engaging in murder behind her back.
She was curious to see what else he would come up with.
"First, Liulang is dead." After Ye Guchen spoke, he indeed saw Su Momo fall silent.
"That day, what I made you drink was not only the fake death potion but also the 'untouchable' antidote. Once you fell into a state of apparent death, I had her take you to meet Liulang. Liulang thought you were dead and gave me all the bounty.
But he never expected that I had placed the 'untouchable' poison on you. He wanted to personally sever your head, but instead, he rotted away and died in agony."
Ye Gu paused here, seemingly sighing. "A person like him isn't worth your killing. If you kill him, you'll dirty your own hands."
This statement wasn't wrong; Su Momo internally gave a thumbs up. Liulang was indeed disgusting. How did the original owner ever fall for such a heartless man?
To save face, Su Momo forced herself to regain some ground: "In the end, you're just after the bounty."
"After I let you go, he issued a kill order with a bounty of ten thousand taels of gold. Goodness, I could never earn that much money in my lifetime, so of course I can't miss this great opportunity. But you need to be cautious; how can we approach you without leaving any traces?"
As they spoke, Ye Guchen slowly moved closer to Su Momo. "So I thought of a good plan: to disguise myself as a monk. That day, I already knew that scoundrel was after you, so I deliberately provoked him to draw your attention. To cover up the wounds you left on me, I must thank that scoundrel for his knife; new wounds over old ones are a strategic move."
The more Su Momo listened, the more she felt like a fool. "You didn't kill me just to mock me?"
Ye Guchen pinched her nose. "See? That's your temperament. I want the bounty, but you're quite amusing. Anyway, your little brain can't outsmart me; what's wrong with me spending more time with you? However..."
At this point, Ye Guchen's voice grew serious as he said, "After hearing about your experiences, I vowed never to let you suffer such grievances again."
Su Momo was taken aback, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she hurriedly lowered her head.
Why did he suddenly become so serious? It felt strange.
"I'm following you for two reasons: one is to keep track of your movements and pretend to cooperate with Liulang, and the other is to protect you in secret. The assassins sent by Liulang are not as easy to deal with as you think. And I not only have to disguise myself as Monk Wangchen to put you at ease but also drive them away without letting Liulang notice anything unusual."
This could be considered a glimmer of hope; no wonder he always stayed hidden in the crowd when he brought her to Shaolin Temple.
There really was no Monk Wangchen at Shaolin Temple! She thought that his disguised character would be recognized there!
But Su Momo still couldn't understand: "But when you appeared that night, I clearly saw the shadow of Wangchen..."
How was this done? She knew it was fake, but she was still quite curious.
Ye Guchen smiled and gestured for her to look at the wall, where a shadow was cast, resembling a round-headed monk.
Following Ye Guchen's direction, she saw that a small paper figure had been cut out and stood on the window sill, with sunlight streaming in to create the projection.
It was surprisingly… so simple. After spending so much time in ancient times, her modern mind had somewhat regressed.
Moreover, the original owner, Lu Baishuang, had completely overlooked one point—Ye Gu and Wang Chen had never appeared at the same time.
Su Momo glanced at Ye Guchen's collar, which was smooth and devoid of anything that shouldn't be there.
"Was Wang Chen's birthmark something you deliberately faked as well?"
Ye Guchen was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Benefactor Lu, when did I ever tell you that was a birthmark? The three inches below the neck are the acupoints for disguise. Those two black dots are silver needles used for altering appearances."
Now the truth was revealed. Hearing about his meticulous plan left Su Momo speechless.
This person never consulted her about anything; it was as if her matters were his own, even though their previous relationship hadn't been that deep.
"And there's a second..." Ye Guchen suddenly smiled suggestively, leaning his entire face closer.
"What second?"
"I noticed you were indecisive and didn't know whether to choose Ye Gu or Wang Chen. Now that I've dealt with both of them, there will only be one person in this world who is wholeheartedly devoted to you—me, Ye Guchen. You still won't choose?"
Su Momo: "…"
Is this the reason you're tormenting me? Testing her by dancing on the edge of death in Ye Gu's identity?
Isn't this all him?
He doesn't really have any strange quirks, does he?
But now she couldn't refuse; success was right in front of her, and she would soon be able to leave this place.
Su Momo followed the system's prompt and walked through the final part of the storyline.
Lu Baishuang (Su Momo) recalled what she had said to Wang Chen and felt so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
But she wouldn't let herself be wronged. She grabbed Ye Guchen's hand and bit down hard.
Ye Guchen screamed, his handsome face contorting in pain, turning back into that pitiful, unfortunate monk.
Lu Baishuang (Su Momo) couldn't help but laugh, her tongue gliding over the spot where she had bitten him. Before Ye Guchen could fully comprehend what had happened, she cupped his face and kissed him.
Finally, she caught him off guard.
She smiled and closed her eyes, finally achieving her wish.
