### Chapter 6: The Goal: Being Huang Aotian’s Best Bro!
The Yun family is one of the powerful and well-known clans in Cangzhou City, even renowned across the entire Eastern Continent. Their resources and martial arts techniques are unmatched by any other family; even combined, the Lin, Xiao, Ye, and Chu families cannot rival the might of the Yuns.
Yun Zhonghe, as the young master of the Yun family, has almost unfettered access to their vast resources. He got his lackeys to gather numerous books on spiritual energy and magical item bonds, and after a night of hard work, he managed to glean some useful information.
He realized that getting rid of the Book of Prophecy was out of the question—it wasn’t a magical treasure but something else entirely, defying removal via conventional methods.
Fortunately, since the book resides deep within Yun Zhonghe’s Sea of Consciousness, no one can find it unless they invade his mind. Thus, Huang Aotian wouldn’t know about it, sparing him from her ire.
But trouble loomed—his d*ath was foretold in the prophecy. Though uncertain of its accuracy, Yun Zhonghe took it seriously. Before obtaining the book, he had planned to flee the main lineage for refuge. But this plan was also predicted.
Clearly, he would run into the protagonists wherever he went.
“d*mn it, we must be replacement actors! We always attract each other no matter where we go!”
As Yun Zhonghe sat in his study cursing under his breath, he wished for sleep, but the d*ath prophecy from the Book of Prophecy kept him awake.
No matter his plans, he’d end up dying at Huang Aotian’s hands with no explanation. The book was unhelpful, leaving him clueless. It seemed predestined—he had to play his part in propelling Huang Aotian towards her soulmate romance.
Frustrated, Yun Zhonghe muttered, “Am I really just a tool? Since I can’t dodge this, maybe I should go all-out to facilitate that.”
A new prophecy appeared.
”After obtaining the Book of Prophecy, I decided to change my approach: If I can’t avoid destiny, I’ll take the offensive, become Huang Aotian’s best bro, and make her couples’ dreams come true.”
”On day N, the Book of Prophecy no longer foretold my demise. I’m free—I’ve broken free from fate!”
Yun Zhonghe’s eyes widened in disbelief. Laughing maniacally, he realized his new mission—helping Huang Aotian could set him free.
“If being Huang Aotian’s bro and helping her with love fulfills my destiny, I can live freely, right?”
Inspired, he clenched his fists as rays of hope filled his eyes. Sunlight entered the room early that morning, offering him solace.
From today on, Huang Aotian is his bro, her girlfriends his future sisters-in-law. No one could dare harm them. He’d fight to protect them against all odds.
To save himself, regain freedom, and escape the script, Yun Zhonghe didn’t mind swallowing his pride.
Curious, he checked his Sea of Consciousness for any changes in the book, finding none, which reassured him further.
At that moment, the door to his study opened.
“Huh? Young Master, you stayed up all night in here?”
The speaker was the maidservant Tao Jiu’er, who had impeccable looks and gentle demeanor, a mature sister figure slightly older than Yun Zhonghe.
Tao Jiu’er was well-known in the Yun household, but she only cared for Yun Zhonghe, the official heir.
In the game, although Yun Zhonghe was a rotten character with a bad reputation, he respected Tao Jiu’er, knowing she was chosen by his mother to look after him, especially his romantic escapades.
Despite his past antics, he had zero experience with women and was still a virgin. Rumors of him seducing decent women were outright lies.
This strict supervision had Yun Zhonghe craving for Huang Aotian’s women, fueled by Tao Jiu’er’s constant presence. Now, however, he vowed to turn over a new leaf.
“Good morning, Jiu’er. I aim to get back on track. I felt like a reckless j*rk before and want to straighten out. Starting with better studies, I guess.”
To his surprise, Tao Jiu’er looked at him skeptically.
“You won’t trick me again, will you?” she warned.
Confused by her mistrust, Yun Zhonghe sighed, realizing he hadn’t earned their trust. Changing perspectives and winning favor wouldn’t be easy, especially with Huang Aotian who knew his infamous reputation.
Her reaction was a stark reminder: he needed a makeover.
