Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

Your wife is a monster!

Everyone except you is a monster!

In the boundless darkness, two lines of bloody words on a scroll of parchment assaulted Lin Bai's senses!

......

The setting sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, turning the floor a blood-red golden hue.

The air was filled with the aroma of stewed pork ribs, so strong it was almost cloying, as if it were masking some other smell.

Lin Bai sat at the dining table, spoon in hand, his gaze piercing through the steam, staring intently at the woman opposite him.

Su Wan.

his wife.

Or more accurately, it was the legacy he "inherited" after time travel—a stunningly beautiful, top-tier married woman.

Lin Bai's Adam's apple bobbed, not only because of his craving, but also because of a piece of information whose veracity was unknown.

"Wife."

Lin Bai suddenly spoke, his tone carrying three parts probing and seven parts courting death:

"I just had a weird dream. In it, someone told me... you're a ghost. Isn't that funny?"

Su Wan's hand, which was holding the soup, paused in mid-air.

Two seconds later, she slowly raised her head.

That exquisitely beautiful face, flawless in every way, still wore a gentle and virtuous smile.

But there seemed to be a lack of light in his eyes.

"Honey, what's wrong with you...?"

Her voice was very soft, as gentle as the plum rains of Jiangnan, yet it sent chills down your spine when it entered your ears.

Immediately afterwards, a strange overlapping sound appeared.

It was as if dozens of women were whispering into Lin Bai's ear at the same time:

"...Again you ask that question?"

again?

Why say "again"?

Lin Bai's heart skipped a beat.

Before he could even savor the meaning of the word, the world before him collapsed.

Su Wan's stunningly beautiful face, like an overripe, rotten peach, suddenly exploded.

Countless viscous black shadows erupted from her body.

It swallowed the sunset, swallowed the restaurant, and swallowed Lin Bai whole.

pain.

excruciating pain.

It was like being thrown into a meat grinder, where even your soul was pulverized into minced meat.

Before his consciousness completely vanished, only one thought remained in Lin Bai's mind:

What the hell is going on here?!

......

In the depths of darkness.

A yellowed parchment gleamed faintly in Lin Bai's mind.

Several lines of blood-red text appeared like freshly cut wounds:

Question: What the hell is going on here?

[Driving simulation in progress...]

[Estimated timeframe: 30 years]

......

"hiss--"

Lin Bai gasped for breath and instinctively pressed his temples.

My head was throbbing with pain, like a construction crew was drilling inside me – it was terrifying.

"What's wrong? Is the soup too hot today?"

A gentle voice, soft to the core, rang in my ears.

Lin Bai opened his eyes in a daze.

Sunset, floor-to-ceiling windows, golden floor.

And... there's that bowl of steaming pork rib soup in front of me.

Su Wan was sitting opposite, holding a spoon in her hand, her beautiful face full of concern.

She was wearing a simple home dress, her hair casually tied up with a bone hairpin, and she was bending down to serve him soup.

The exposed neck was so pale it didn't look like a living person.

You can vaguely see the bluish-purple network of blood vessels under the skin, just like those exquisite jade figurines in a museum.

It's truly beautiful, and it's truly cold.

Her eyes were crystal clear, reflecting Lin Bai's bewildered expression.

"I......"

Lin Bai shook his head; the intense dizziness made it difficult for him to distinguish between dreams and reality.

Memories begin to return.

By the way, I'm Lin Bai, and I just transmigrated this morning.

This place is similar to my previous life on Earth, definitely an urban setting.

The stunningly beautiful woman before him was none other than his former wife, Su Wan.

"It's nothing, I might have low blood sugar, I jumped up too fast." Lin Bai rubbed his temples, forcibly suppressing the inexplicable sense of panic in his heart.

Did you just space out for a moment?

I always feel like something terrible happened, but when I think about it carefully, my brain feels like it's been formatted.

There is only one kind of extreme fatigue after running a marathon.

"Have some soup to warm your stomach first." Su Wan pushed the soup bowl over, her cool fingers gently resting on the back of Lin Bai's hand.

cold.

It felt like touching a piece of ancient jade that had just been unearthed.

Lin Bai felt a surge of secret pleasure.

Is this the perk of time-traveling fans?

This guy from before was pretty good.

He had no money, no power, and not even a job.

How could he marry a goddess of this caliber? And make her so virtuous and capable!

With that face and figure, she would have been a top female star in her previous life.

Now she's at home cooking and cleaning for me.

I, Lin Bai, am determined to live off this woman!

"Thank you, wife." Lin Bai picked up the bowl and drank it in big gulps.

The soup was delicious, the meat was tender, and everything was perfect except for the slightly overpowering sweetness.

......

After dinner, Su Wan cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen.

Lin Bai sprawled on the sofa like an old man, watching TV in a "Ge You slouch".

A news report is playing on television.

"The Aurora Train, connecting the Eastern Region, is about to arrive at the station. Citizens, please prepare to welcome it. This is the centenary of the establishment of our trade route with the Holy City..."

Aurora?

Change the channel!

The winning numbers for the Double Color Ball lottery on May 16, 2124 were...

Lin Bai listened to the string of numbers without any emotional fluctuation.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

With such a wonderful wife, what more could you ask for?

Isn't it great to just stay at home and be a kept man for life?

"Are you tired?"

Su Wan came out at some point, carrying a steaming wooden basin in her hand.

She walked to the sofa, and surprisingly squatted down, placing the wooden basin at Lin Bai's feet.

She looked up at him with her big, watery eyes and said, "Honey, let me wash your feet to help you relax."

What the hell!

Lin Bai almost jumped up from the sofa.

How can this be considered virtuous?

This is a saint descending to earth to save all living beings!

"I can't accept this... I can do it myself." Lin Bai said politely, but his body betrayed him by not moving an inch.

Su Wan smiled slightly, her smile as serene as a painting.

She stretched out her slender, white fingers, gently removed Lin Bai's socks, and pressed his feet into the warm water.

Comfortable.

The water temperature was just right, and Su Wan's finger pressure was just right, each press was perfect.

Lin Bai leaned back on the sofa, his eyes squinting comfortably, feeling incredibly happy.

This time-travel experience deserves a five-star rating!

Just as he was immersed in the pleasures of life and dreaming of a wonderful future, a sudden inspiration struck him.

and many more.

According to the typical tropes of online novels, shouldn't transmigrators always have a cheat code? A system? An old man?

On a sudden impulse, he tried calling out twice in his mind.

"System Boss?"

"Properties panel?"

no response.

Until he concentrated and stared into the depths of his consciousness, he suddenly discovered something.

An ancient scroll of parchment floated quietly in the darkness of his mind.

Got it!

Lin Bai was overjoyed.

Sure enough, online articles didn't lie! This parchment looks like the kind of high-end item that can defy fate!

He couldn't wait to lean his consciousness closer, wanting to see what kind of incredible abilities this treasure possessed.

however.

When Lin Bai saw the contents of the parchment, he froze, a strange feeling sending chills down his spine.

This paper... is not blank.

On the yellowed, rough paper, several lines of writing were so bright red they were glaring, as if they had just been written in blood:

Question: What the hell is going on here?

[Driving simulation in progress...]

[Estimated timeframe: 30 years]

Lin Bai's smile froze.

What... is this?

I just discovered this cheat code, when did I ask a question?

Moreover, even just looking at those words made his hair stand on end.

That intense sense of déjà vu struck again, a million times stronger than it had been at the dinner table!

It's like... he's already experienced this scene once before.

In fact, many times?

"Honey, is the water temperature just right?"

Su Wan's gentle voice came softly from below.

Lin Bai shuddered and mechanically lowered his head.

Su Wan remained squatting on the ground, her hands immersed in the murky water, gently rubbing the backs of his feet.

She was looking up at him.

The dim light shone on her face.

That face, so perfect it seemed unreal, wore a smile so precise it looked like it had been measured with a ruler.

Just this once.

I don't know why.

Under this warm and cozy light.

Lin Bai felt no warmth whatsoever.

"Suitable...appropriate."

Lin Bai felt his teeth chattering.

Upon hearing this, Su Wan's smile seemed to widen slightly, and she said softly:

"That's good."
