Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

Shen Yuan knew her too well. She had protected her identity for so long, even going to great lengths to move her household registration away from the Ye family, all to avoid any further entanglement with them.

Yet now, for him, she was willing to expose her identity and even risk being recognized by the Ye family. A year ago, he had considered even having a meal with her an extravagant hope.

For the first time, he truly felt that his feelings were not one-sided.

The young woman he had longed for, yearned for, also liked him, perhaps even loved him.

“Ding, blackening value decreased by 10%, current blackening index: 20%.”

Su Tang calmly listened to the drop in the blackening value, a carefree smile on her face. “The Ye family is nothing to be afraid of.” She tilted her head, her smile widening. “Besides, I have you.”

“Yes, you have me.”

This meal was undoubtedly the happiest Shen Yuan had had in his twenty-four years.

The online incident began to ferment. Shen Ling’s parents felt they had been tricked and angrily started investigating Cheng Ye’s identity. How could someone whose Shen Corp. application form even stated "male" turn out to be female? Shen Ling, after his initial surprise, slowly said, “Don’t you know about cross-dressing? Honestly, I’m impressed they could pull it off like that.”

No wonder Shen Yuan took a liking to them. Even he was captivated by those stunning photos.

Shen Ling’s parents were furious at his flippant attitude. “Is that the point?!”

Shen Ling, though indignant, couldn't help but recall those photos.

His parents continued to fume. “An M-country graduate, returning to become Shen Yuan’s assistant. The Ye family’s recent moves were all her handiwork. How could such a formidable person fall for Shen Yuan?” They wanted to suppress Shen Yuan to the point of no recovery, and such an elite was not allowed near him!

Then, they came up with a terrible idea.

“Son, are you familiar with that assistant?”

Although impressed, Shen Ling still remembered being dragged to the police station and suffering a major scandal. To be honest, if it were just a matter of showing goodwill, fine, but if that person made any subtle moves, he wouldn't even know how he died.

“Mom, Dad, what are you planning?”

Shen Ling’s playboy status was partly due to his wealth, but also thanks to his handsome face.

But now, the Second Young Master Shen was stunned. “Are you crazy? Have you forgotten how they dragged me to the police station last time?”

His parents glared at him. “Since the matter started with them, it should end with them.”

Weighing the pros and cons, Shen Ling’s parents knew their good-for-nothing son all too well. He had the looks but lacked brains, so he needed someone to support him. The Ye family’s Second Miss was out of the question; she was only good at stirring up trouble. Unlike that little assistant, quiet and unassuming, yet making the biggest moves.

Shen Ling thought his parents were insane. That assistant was a tough nut to crack.

However, his mother said, “Alright, go and rest. Your grandfather hasn’t been well lately, so don't bother him.”

Neither Shen Ling nor his father had any business acumen. His mother, left with ambition but no outlet, thought of how Old Master Shen still wanted Shen Yuan back. She suddenly felt that some things needed to be expedited.

For example, right now. She took the warm milk from the servant, surreptitiously added something to it in a hidden corner, and then presented it.

Old Master Shen, once a titan of the business world, was now confined to his bed, his body failing him.

Seeing his second daughter-in-law instead of a servant, he lifted his eyelids, his voice cold. “Why are you here?”

Maintaining a dignified smile, she spoke in a conciliatory tone. “It’s about A-Ling’s marriage. I feel that the Ye family’s Second Miss is truly not up to par, so I wanted to discuss with you the possibility of dissolving the engagement.”

Old Master Shen, without much thought, took the milk and drank it all in one gulp. “A bankrupt Ye family. Dissolve it then. Don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future.”

The resentment in Shen Ling’s mother deepened.

Shen Ling’s marriage was a trivial matter, but what about Shen Yuan? He had only brought that little assistant back once, and it had made him so upset. Indeed, the coldest person in the Shen family was still him.

Old Master Shen loved nothing in this life but money. If you wanted his attention, you had to at least be able to make money, to help the Shen Corp. regain its reputation. But once you lost that ability… She recalled how, when Shen Yuan’s father died in a car accident, he hadn’t shed a single tear, let alone shown any grief.

Even a dog raised for thirty years would develop some attachment.

Shen Ling’s mother left after delivering the milk, her face calm.

The next day, Old Master Shen passed away.

Su Tang was sleeping soundly when a phone call woke her. Having stayed up late the previous night, her eyelids felt heavy. She groggily answered the call, only managing a “Hello” before the other person stopped.

She was annoyed. Waking someone up so early was bad enough, but at least say something!

“Speak!”

The other person: “…Is this Mr. Shen?”

The cautious tone made Su Tang pause, then she abruptly realized she had answered the wrong phone!

She was about to throw the phone away as if it were burning her hand when the other person spoke again. “It’s like this, Old Master Shen has passed away, but there’s something suspicious about it.”

Old Master Shen’s death was a significant event. Su Tang forced herself out of the warm bed. Halfway up, she realized she wasn’t wearing anything and blushed, telling the caller, “Wait a moment, I’ll go get him.”

The other person: “Alright. By the way, are you Miss Cheng or… Mr. Cheng?”

Those who remained by Shen Yuan’s side knew Su Tang. But knowing her was one thing; her current gender situation was another.

Su Tang’s own clothes were unwearable, so she slipped on a men’s shirt and, wearing slippers, went to find Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan was running on the treadmill in the gym. Hearing the commotion, he pressed the stop button. “Why didn’t you sleep more?” He wiped the sweat from his body with a towel and smiled. “Was it because I didn’t stay with you, so you couldn’t sleep?”

“Your phone!”

Su Tang thrust the phone into his hand without hesitation and turned to leave.

She had drunk some beer with the barbecue last night and had called a driver to take them home. Who would have thought that just a little beer could lead to such… post-drinking chaos?

She pressed her hand to her forehead. It wasn’t the beer’s fault; it was clearly the intoxicating effect of beauty!

Shen Yuan had the habit of morning exercise. Even after last night’s activities, he still got up early. It wasn’t that he didn't want to stay with her, but someone had told him that while a man needs money, he also needs to maintain his physique. A young man with a beer belly and premature balding would be despised by his wife.
