A dizziness swept over Song Lin's head, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a new place.

Song Lin looked at his chubby little short arms and legs, feeling like he could be fatally abused at any minute.

"Uh... Is the system there?"

[System]

Darling, are you there?

"What should I do next?"

[System]

Please receive the documents, dear.

As soon as the system finished speaking, a screen suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Damn, so stylish!

[System]

This is a story in which the male protagonist, the Fourth Prince, goes through the process of seizing power, and his encounter with a time-traveling woman, living together happily.

Song Lin said a bit helplessly, "...so brief."

[System]

The supporting male character is now seven years old, gentle and charming. He fell in love with the female lead at first sight and fought tooth and nail against the male lead for her. However, because both men were outstanding in their own ways, the female lead ended up getting involved with both of them. When the male lead found out, the female lead deceitfully claimed that the supporting male character was threatening her, forcing her to be with him.

In the end, the male lead and female lead united to kill the supporting male character. The supporting male character loved the female lead so much that he willingly allowed her to kill him.

After watching it, Song Lin thought the female protagonist was really... a two-faced bitch! He had never seen anyone so shameless before!

Song Lin calmed himself down and suddenly realized something important. He said, "We have the main male and female leads, and even the supporting male role, but who am I?"

[System]

Darling, you are naturally of high-end and classy... cannon fodder~

Song Lin: "...hehe, I want to return this."

[System]

Wen Yu, male, four years old. He was the most favored youngest child in the Wen family. Because he liked to bully the male supporting character, he was eventually killed by the male supporting character. He died at the age of eight. Oh, the male supporting character is a sickly little brat, not favored at all~

By the way, the male supporting character actually resides in the Wen family, you know. Well... his true identity is actually that of a prince~

Song Lin raised an eyebrow. "I died when I was eight... Heh, it seems I truly am a complete cannon fodder. How could the prince have fallen to such a state?"

[System]

The host does not have enough permissions~

[System]

Note: [系统] is a term often used in Chinese web novels to refer to a system, typically a virtual system that assists or guides the protagonist throughout their journey. In this case, it seems to be an announcement or statement made by the system itself.

Dear, believe in yourself, you can definitely do it! Oh, a friendly reminder, you've been bullying the male supporting character for a month now, and your favorability points are... negative fifty.

Song Lin said that he wanted peace and quiet. This is so damn unfair!! Why should I be the one to clean up the mess the original owner made?!

[System]

Dear, cheer up! I'm rooting for you.

Song Lin rested for a while, then went out to look for his so-called prince brother.

"Oh, by the way, System, what is the name of the supporting male character?"

[System]

Note: The term "[系统]" is commonly used in Chinese web novels to refer to a system or game-like interface that the protagonist interacts with. To maintain consistency with American English, we will leave it untranslated as "[System]".

Wen Yun.

Song Lin is now four years old. Although his actual age is twenty-two years old, pretending to be younger... hehe, is not a problem at all!

"System, will the body have already decomposed by the time I return?"

[System]

You can rest assured, the system does a great job of keeping it for you. There is a time difference here, where one year in this world is equal to one second in the real world.

Song Lin frowned and said, "Impressive, my brother."

Following the instructions of the system, Song Lin arrived at the place where Wen Yun lived with great difficulty. It was quite a shock to see it for the first time. Song Lin had never imagined that there could be such a rundown place in the mansion of the crown prince!

The straw house had a dilapidated door and a damp floor.

How is it possible not to fall ill like this!

Song Lin sneaked into the room and discovered that Wen Yun was sleeping on the rickety bed.

In fact, it's not like that. Wen Yun knew about Song Lin's arrival; she just wanted to see what he was up to.

Song Lin cautiously walked forward and, at the moment he saw Rong Yun, he couldn't help but exclaim how stunning she was.

Wen Yun's features were very delicate, giving people an exceptionally comfortable feeling. However, due to always having poor diet and insufficient clothing, her physical condition was not very good. She appeared thin and weak, as if she could break easily with just a light touch.

Song Lin reached out involuntarily to smooth out the furrowed brow of Wen Yun when he saw it.

Wen Yun's heart skipped a beat, but she still pretended to be asleep.

"Brother, I was not sensible before. I won't bully you anymore in the future. You have to believe me." Song Lin softly spoke with a gentle voice.

Song Lin looked at Wen Yun and decided to bring her to where he lived. It would be better to increase their favorability points that way. Being at a negative fifty was really emotionally exhausting.

After Song Lin left, Wen Yun finally opened his eyes and sat down, pondering over the words Song Lin had just said.

Song Lin returned to his room and dismissed the maid before locking himself inside. He said to the system, "Is the male lead more attractive than the supporting male character?"

[System]

Dear, the official believes that the male supporting character looks better.

"Why?"

'[System]'

Haven't you heard of the phrase "it's the supporting male character that is truly extraordinary" before?

"Hehe, makes sense. So, should I increase the favorability rating of the male supporting character now?"

[System]

Darling, if you don't want to die at the age of eight.

"... "Song Lin remained speechless."

After being served and having his fill, Song Lin called for the kitchen lady to cook some more and bring it to Wen Yun's place.

To my surprise, as soon as Song Lin arrived, he saw a group of arrogant and insolent rascals shouting and cursing at Wen Yun's doorstep.

Song Lin couldn't contain his anger and directly shouted, "What are you guys doing?!"

At this moment, a petite and adorable little girl walked forward and sweetly said, "Yugege, we are teaching that sickly bastard a lesson!"

Song Lin looked at the girl in front of him. He could see that the girl had a label on top of her head that said, "Wen Min'er, four years old, a distant relative."

To be honest, Song Lin is quite fond of adorable lolitas. However, he really dislikes lolitas who are so arrogant and domineering!

"You guys better not come looking for my older brother again in the future. From now on, I will be the one protecting him!" Song Lin said, crossing his arms and speaking with a fierce momentum.

Yu Gege, you... hmph!" Wen Min'er stomped her foot and walked away.

After Wen Miner left, the others also dispersed.

Inside, Wen Yun saw all of this, slightly furrowed her brows, and then saw the delicate and lovely Wen Yu walking in on tiptoes, inexplicably finding Wen Yu quite adorable.

[System]

Hey, buddy! The male supporting character's favorability has increased by 10 points, currently at -40. Keep up the good work!

Song Lin "......" Hahaha~ She must have been captivated by my hero saving her beauty!!

Taking advantage of the fact that the supporting male character currently has a good opinion of herself, Song Lin walked over to him and put the lunchbox in front of him. With a face full of expectation, she looked at Wen Yun, hoping for praise.

Wen Yun raised an eyebrow and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "What are you doing here? You're not welcome here."

Song Lin didn't take Wen Yun's words to heart, because deep down in his subconscious, he believed that this was just a case of the male lead speaking insincerely.

"I came here specifically for you! I've brought you some food, and it's really delicious," Song Lin said as he opened the lunchbox.

"Why are you doing this?" Wen Yun asked as she watched the busy Song Lin.

"Ah? It's just that I want to treat you well." Otherwise, how can I raise your favorability rating?

"Will... you always treat me well?" Wen Yun softly asked, her hand involuntarily tightening.

It had been a long time since she had felt someone's warmth, and she unexpectedly found it difficult to let go. She was afraid that from Song Lin's mouth would come an answer she didn't want to hear.

"Of course, I've always been good to you," Song Lin blurted out without hesitation.

Wen Yun's hand relaxed upon hearing these words. Then, just continue treating me well, only me, until I grow tired of your kindness.

"Let's eat, brother! It's delicious!" Song Lin handed the chopsticks to Wen Yun and said.

"You're really too skinny. This way, you'll be bullied by others. You should eat more." Song Lin felt sorry for this seven-year-old supporting male character and couldn't help but nag.

"Mhmm." Wen Yun took the chopsticks from Song Lin's hand, and a satisfied smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of her mouth.

The feeling of being cared for... it's really strange, but it seems pretty good.

"Eat quickly, eat quickly," Song Lin urged impatiently.

Wen Yun picked up a bite of food and elegantly ate it. After a while, he spoke, "Not bad."

"Really? Hehe~" Song Lin said, his eyes fixed hungrily on the delicious and appetizing dishes… He couldn't help but salivate.
