“Sorry, I’m going out with my friends today.”... more>>

This was what Tendou Susumu, the popular protagonist, told the girls.

That voice woke up something in me, Jimichi Ikuto, someone who was simply leading an ordinary life, and spurned me to action.

I got my hair done and dyed it a bit, switched from glasses to contacts, then finally made the most out of my parent’s connections.

I, who had changed a lot in both appearance and personality, had gathered people around me. However, I wasn’t interested in them at all.

What caught my attention more were the four female students that surrounded Susumu Tendou. Although apparently, all of them took a liking to Tendou.

But you, why the hell are you like that? If you just kept your mouth shut and had let the things stay as it was, it would be a normal, happy ending.

Ah, you were the one at fault, weren’t you? Those girls came to me because you kept on making choices like that.

This was the first time I had come this far…hmm? What was I talking about? I didn’t even know anymore.

But for some reason, I just felt compelled to say this. “Welcome, to the Bad End Route.” <<less

"Bring us your finest wine and best meat!" Yelled a hulking man who seemed to be the leader of the dozen strong group.

"How much?" The waiter anxiously nodded his head.

"As much as you have!" The hulking man yelled back.

"That's..."

"HUH?" The hulking man shot the waiter a furious glare.

"Dear guests, our inn operates on the principle of 'pay first, dishes later'. As such, it will be better if you tell us exactly how much meat and wine you need." Xiao Se returned their furious stares with a thin smile.

"Who are you supposed to be?" The hulking man eyed him with bulging eyes.

"This humble one is known as Xiao Se, the owner of this inn, the Fallen Snow Villa." Xiao Se replied with the same smile and with a level of courtesy worth a solid 12/10.

"Well, we have no money." The hulking man stabbed his blade into one of the nearby tables.

"Oh?"

"But I'm sure you have some!" The man pointed his finger at Xiao Se.

At that, Xiao Se furiously shook his head. "I'm sorry to break it to you but our little inn hasn't made a single sale in almost a month. I'm about to owe them salaries myself..."

"Like hell if I care!" The hulking man smashed his palm down on the table. "Even if you have no money, that fur coat of yours should at least be worth a hundred odd silvers."

"NONSENSE!" Yelled Xiao Se, eyes wide open and gaze as sharp as daggers.

The hulking man was stunned, his body even shivering involuntarily for that split second.

"I, Xiao Se, ride only the finest horse and wear only the richest threads! This fur coat of mine was specially sewn by some of the finest seamstresses in the imperial capital in the August Threads. Just sewing it took three whole months, shipping it, another one. Hmph, a hundred silvers? That's not even enough to buy the sleeves of my coat!" <<less

"How dare you flirt with other men behind the back of my imperial father?"

"He insulted this prince and you sided with him? This prince will sentence his entire clan to death!"

Song Yuan was very disturbed. The DNA test had confirmed that the child was, indeed, her son, but why did he act like he was delusional?

More importantly, who was the father of the child?

Within the world, there exist various kinds of people, who have accumulated a wide range of experiences and are advancing towards their future, each choosing their own path.

One’s future is a relic of the past that one has amassed. The present is also shifting into the past, and the past is a relic of the present, which is the future. We, humans, live in the present, choosing our choices.

However, even though we seem to have the freedom to choose, there are times when we are compelled to make choices in the present. Even if one is heading for a bright future, the eventual outcome is never assured. Sometimes the future, which was previously bright, is abruptly struck by darkness.

And he is a bossy CEO character who has already fallen for the Bottom.
