Within a Hollow Heart - Chapter 153: Volume 2, : "Veil on the Edge"

A 23-year old man who graduated Harvard flew back to his home country to sell fried goat meat in his self-made small stall, representing a conservative generation of youth. He went to a bar looking for a girl to settle his lust and found a drunken beauty.

They spent a wild night with each other, and the girl coldly and silently left in the morning in front of the guy’s face, leaving a small red stain on the bed sheet. After a few days, she forced him to marry her for 2 years by contract, and after the contract expires he’s free to do what he wants. She later revealed to him she’s the CEO of one of the biggest corporation in the country.

Will a girl with the burden of a giant corporation with her own emotional scar be able to find love and to share the person she loves with other beauties?

Will a man who lived to kill his entire life, with the burden of being Hades, one of the 12 gods of Olympus, be able to set aside his responsibilities to live with the girl(s) he loves or to improve his godly skills to protect everything he cares for from an unseen threat?

“The masterminds are cooler than heroes,” I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game.Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit.Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not?***[Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.]What?[Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.]Wait, what?![Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.]And, why would I do that?![Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.]Why would I save him?![The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?]Ah! I give up...It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things.In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker.I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need?Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though.I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse!Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is...[Failure: Destruction of the World.]It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped.If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing.[Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.]“If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne.”And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

[Main Story Complete: Evil Female Reforms + Chaotic Scene of Male Rivalry + Satisfying Comeback Story]Su An'an transmigrated into a restricted Beast World novel as the vicious female side character.In the book, the original owner abused the Five Great Beast Husbands: the Mermaid Marshal's ear was severed and bleeding, the White Tiger War God was covered in wounds, the Dark-Jiao Executor's scales were mottled, the powerful Red Fox had all nine of his tails broken, and the top-tier Swan's voice was shattered. Meanwhile, she was stripped of her Princess identity and died tragically on the Black Star.When Su An'an transmigrated, it was already a disastrous start.Seeing that her death countdown was down to only 182 days, Su An'an took out her ancestral medicine box.While treating the mermaid's ear, she accidentally tied the mermaid silk into a bowknot. That night, the mermaid used sonic waves to collapse half the palace, just to hide the ear wrapped in a pink ribbon.While changing the White Tiger's dressing, she scratched the soft fur on his belly. The War God bared his teeth and growled on the surface, but in the middle of the night, he nudged the young woman into the warm fluff of his tiger belly.While mending the Dark-Jiao's scales, her hand trembled, and the gloomy Adjudicator suddenly whipped his tail around her waist: “Touch my Reversed Scale again, and I'll sentence you to life imprisonment.”When the top-tier Swan sneered with a hoarse voice, “Trying to poison my voice again?” Su An'an, in a swift move, made him drink loquat syrup, and his clear singing voice boomed throughout the Whole Star System.Later, on the day the Mutant Beast's toxic fog engulfed the Beast Star, the once-despised Wasted Evil Female appeared with a syringe to save the world, followed by five giant, fluffy creatures vying for her affection: “All of you, shut up! Line up for your vaccines!”
