Moonlight spilled over Emerald Cloud City like milk over obsidian, casting soft halos along the tiled rooftops and jade bridges. Gu Changge—disguised as the late Wei Yunzhao's "old friend"—moved like a shadow through its quiet alleys, every step measured, precise.
His destination: the widow's home.
Again.
He did not knock this time. Lin Rou had left the door unlatched.
A signal.
He stepped inside, finding her seated by the low brazier table, hair loose, lips pale from her third weekly ice poison attack. Steam curled from a clay teapot, but her eyes—once firm and cautious—now fluttered toward him with guilt… and longing.
"You came," she said softly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.
Gu Changge stepped into the warm glow of the room, allowing his illusion to subtly shimmer—a trace of the "old Wei Yunzhao" in his features, aged just enough, charming just enough.
"I said I would."
He sat across from her, pouring tea as though nothing in the world were out of place. But inside, the System interface pulsed in the back of his mind.

A small smile played at his lips.
"Your hands are cold again."
Lin Rou didn't answer. She only looked down, and Gu Changge took her silence for permission. He reached forward, wrapping her hand in both of his. She trembled slightly.
Warmth surged into her fingers—a soft pulse of controlled yang qi, enough to stimulate circulation… and desire.
"Does it hurt?" he asked gently.
"Not… not always," she whispered. "But tonight it burns."
He traced the back of her palm with a thumb. "Then let me help."
A long silence passed. Her eyes lowered. "You've done so much already…"
He tilted her chin up. "And yet I want to do more."
Her breath caught.
"Rou'er," he whispered, "I shouldn't say this. But these last few days… I've found myself drawn to you."
She flinched. "Yunzhao, I…"
"I know. You're Lin Tian's mother. You're grieving. But I've watched over your family for so long, and now that he's grown… now that I'm here…"
He took her trembling hands again.
"I'm saying this not as your friend's ghost, but as a man."
"Yunzhao…" Her voice broke. "I'm not worthy of this."
"You are." He leaned closer. "Every time I see you suffer… it tears something in me."
Tears welled in her eyes. "Why now?"
"Because I can't lie to myself anymore."
He cupped her cheek, letting his charm aura drift from his fingers like velvet smoke. Her resistance was already lowered from the wine, from the poison, from the warmth flooding her from his touch.
And when he kissed her—softly, reverently—she did not push him away.
---
Their clothes came undone in silence.
He was slow, reverent. A predator that knew patience.
When Lin Rou's underrobe slipped from her shoulders, revealing pale skin marred only by the subtle blue traces of dormant ice poison, Gu Changge pressed his lips against the nape of her neck. Her breath hitched.
And then she saw it.
Him.
His body.
His chest sculpted and lean, his skin flawless and smooth, but charged—spiritually magnetic, as if carved from demonic fire and divine blood. And lower, his manhood—long, thick, pulsing with heat, and yet… refined, almost graceful.
She stared, unable to look away.
That wasn't a mortal thing.
It was a weapon, a divine curse, coiled and waiting.
"I—it's too much," she whispered, face red.
Gu Changge smiled darkly. "It'll fit."
And it did—but not easily.
When he pushed into her, Lin Rou's gasp turned to a cry, pleasure and pressure mingling into something that almost frightened her. He filled her to the deepest corner, scraping her inner walls with each vein along his shaft.
But that wasn't all.

Her soul shivered.
She screamed.
It wasn't just physical—Gu Changge's thrusts didn't simply rut her womb—they plunged into her meridians, stirring suppressed qi, forcing her to feel the intercourse on a spiritual level.
Her nipples tingled. Her breath vanished. Her cultivation core sparked like an unstable formation.
And in the pit of her belly, a storm of pleasure exploded.
"I-I can't—!" she sobbed, arching wildly.
Gu Changge bit her shoulder gently. "Yes, you can."
Her body betrayed her instantly, climaxing before she even realized it. And then again. And again.
Each time he pushed back in, her body responded with instinctive submission.
He did not slow.
He rolled her onto her side, then her stomach, whispering praises between strokes. Her legs trembled. Her hands clawed at the sheets. Her breath came in high, whimpering gasps.
She was beyond words now. Just moans. Cries. Echoes of a woman long-starved and now broken open.

"Tell me," he murmured, voice like velvet over iron. "Whose body is this now?"
She sobbed. "Yours…"
"Louder."
"Yours! It's yours—Yunzhao, please!"
He pulled her upright, kissing her deeply. She melted into his arms, tongue entangled with his, breath shallow.
And then he released inside her—a torrent of yang qi, thick and scorching, flooding her womb and shattering the last vestiges of her poison's hold.
She collapsed, drenched, sobbing in relief and overwhelming ecstasy.
---
Later—hours later—she lay curled against his chest, skin glazed with sweat, thighs sticky with seed, her breath shallow and eyes hazed.
"I… I don't know what this is," she whispered.
Gu Changge stroked her hair. "It's comfort."
"I've never… felt like that before."
He smiled softly. "No one ever cared for your suffering. Let me do that."
She closed her eyes. "Will you stay the night?"
He kissed her forehead. "Of course."

At Dawn
Gu Changge dressed quietly.
Lin Rou slept, lips parted, cheek resting on his chest. Her body twitched in dreams—her subconscious still reeling from the double ecstasy and intense yang infusion.
But Gu Changge?
He was already planning.
> [Fate Threads: Updated]
Lin Rou – Emotionally bound. Womb marked. Poison suppressed.
Lin Xian'er – Affection latent. Curiosity rising.
Lin Tian – Spirit pressure growing. Emotional collapse likely in 2–3 incidents.
He traced the lines of fate again.
Lin Rou was now his—body and soon, heart.
Next?
He would let Lin Tian taste hope…
Then rip it away.
