???"
"My home, where is it?"
Chen Mo sat dazedly on the bed, his gaze blankly wandering around.
He only remembered that he had stumbled accidentally, and then he knew nothing... When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in this unfamiliar room.
The room's decor resembled a set from a historical drama.
A mahogany carved bed, a jade-inlaid octagonal screen, and not far away, a white porcelain incense burner sat on the tea table, from which strands of blue smoke were rising.
"Maybe I got up too abruptly, should be fine once I restart."
Thus, Chen Mo lay down again.
Closed his eyes, then opened.
Closed his eyes again, then opened again.
His eyes were almost flashing doubles, yet the scene remained unchanged.
"..."
Chen Mo's Adam's apple moved as he swallowed.
From his current situation, it seemed he was singled out and had transmigrated to another world.
"Transmigration," a term not unfamiliar to Chen Mo. Like others, he had also fantasized about venturing into a parallel world to experience a completely different life.
But when it actually happened, his heart was filled with a bewildering sense of incompetence.
"It's a good thing I bought insurance earlier. If I die accidentally, Mom as the beneficiary would get a hefty sum of money, enough for my parents to live comfortably into old age..."
"I hope my death is peaceful, don't want to scare Mom..."
"Damn, I didn't delete my browsing history!"
Chen Mo's mind was a mess.
At this moment, a series of footsteps interrupted his tangled thoughts.
He looked up, only to see a graceful figure emerge from behind the screen.
A melon-seed face, peach blossom eyes, a slender waist, and a proud bosom.
She was clad in a water-green gauze dress, her ample figure embraced by the fabric, a silver flower hairpin in her hair woven with branch patterns, and peach blossom-like cheeks, her charming eyes captivating.
Chen Mo prided himself on having seen many beauties, following scores of goddesses on social apps, but those were all through screens, with layers of makeup, beauty filters, and enhancements.
Compared to the vividly beautiful woman before him, all seemed bland.
Their eyes met.
"Lord, are you awake?"
The woman's voice was soft and enticing.
"Um."
Chen Mo responded briefly.
Before figuring out the situation, he felt it was best to speak less.
The woman sighed, her voice melancholic, "Lord, when you usually visit the Imperial Music Bureau, you enjoy tea and music with me, talking joyously, but today you fell asleep without finishing a single tune... Could it be you've found someone new and grown tired of me?"
Imperial Music Bureau?
That's the legendary "Official Kiln"!
It seemed their relationship was close; his previous self must have been a regular here... Damn this memory, why hasn't it blended yet? I don't even know her name!
Realizing this, Chen Mo's head began to ache, his expression pained as he held his forehead.
Seeing this, the woman walked over, swaying her waist, and gently pressed his temples with her bare hands, "It's alright, I was just joking. I know you are busy with official duties, but you must balance work and rest, don't overexert yourself."
"Jeez, this girl is quite considerate."
"Looks like it's a government job start, but I wonder what rank I hold?"
Chen Mo pondered to himself.
Perhaps her technique was effective; the headache did feel much better.
With their faces close together, he stared at her breathtaking beauty, feeling a dryness in his mouth, unable to divert his gaze.
The woman lowered her head shyly, "Why does the Lord stare at me so?"
"Because you're beautiful."
Chen Mo unconsciously spoke his mind.
The woman's cheeks turned crimson, and after hesitating for a moment, she spoke softly, "Actually... I have admired the Lord for a long time but have been too shy to speak out."
"If you don't mind, I'd like to offer myself to your bed. Would you care to arrange my hair?"
As she spoke, she untied the sash around her waist.
Her dress slipped off, revealing close-fitting pink underwear.
Her delicate skin was dazzlingly white, her waist too slender to grasp, in stark contrast to her heavy bosom, and a deep cleavage was vaguely visible at the neckline.
Chen Mo: (⊙ˍ⊙)?
Isn't this too sudden?
His mind was a bit foggy.
"Why doesn't the Lord speak? Could it be that you despise me?"
The woman gently leaned against him, the softness of her bosom like clouds felt through her thin underwear.
Chen Mo took a deep breath.
But the reality stood.
Any man with normal inclinations, faced with such a stunning beauty, would likely struggle to maintain composure. And he was just a mere mortal; no need to hold himself to the standards of a saint.
Moreover, this was the Imperial Music Bureau, in a way, it was also about adapting to local customs.
After mentally preparing himself, Chen Mo turned over and pressed her onto the bed.
The woman's voice trembled slightly, "I am still untouched, I hope the Lord will be gentle..."
"""
Chen Mo's heart heated up, desire surged like a flood breaking a dam.
All thoughts were shattered, leaving only one thing in his mind—to strip that seductive vixen, crush her, and whip her fiercely!
Just then, another severe headache came.
It felt like a heavy blow to the head, making his vision go dark, nearly causing him to faint.
The pain temporarily suppressed his desire. Once Chen Mo recovered, his vision seemed blurry, and a dense cluster of black spots appeared before his eyes.
Looking carefully, the black spots gradually cleared up, revealing tiny characters:
Name: Chen Mo
Title: None
Realm: Seventh Rank Mortal Body · Muscle-Tendon Changing Stage
Cultivation Technique: Mixed Element Body Refining Technique · Small Success (185/1000)
Martial Arts:

True Spirit: 0
...
Seeing the familiar UI, Chen Mo realized that he had transmigrated into the world of "Unmatched Immortal"!
At the same time, flood of memories surged into his mind.
He finally figured out his own identity.
An early antagonist in the game—Sky Scale Guard Commander, Chen Mo!
His deep impression of this man was due to their shared name.
His father held the position of Right Deputy Imperial Censor, a standard third rank official, powerful and influential across the government and community.
His mother was also not a small figure; as the daughter of the Sect Leader of Yanyu Pavilion, her martial arts realm was extremely high, having reached the Grandmaster level.
Noble identity, a powerhouse in both black and white arenas.
Apart from a few untouchable figures, it could be said that he roamed across Tiandu City unhindered!
Yet his predecessor had no awareness typical of a privileged youth; rather than pondering over how to squander family wealth, he was intent on a pure love affair with an Oiran.
He frequented the Imperial Music Bureau, courting her with various kinds of attentiveness.
He even went as far as tearing up a marriage arrangement set by his ancestors to show his sincerity.
Ultimately, he was schemed against by her, had the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect planted in him, became a puppet controlled by others, and even implicated the entire Chen Family…
...
Today, his predecessor publicly tore up the marriage contract and then ran to the Imperial Music Bureau to confess his feelings to Gu Manzhi.
Before he could speak out, he was drugged.
Initially, he was just knocked unconscious, but due to some accident, his soul was scattered.
Then Chen Mo's soul transmigrated over, logged in from a different location, seamlessly connecting...
"Neighbors drying Sichuan peppercorns, numbed the guy next door, ah!"
"Is it just some cheats? Do they have to mess with me like this?!"
Chen Mo took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
"I remember in order to plant the Heart Devouring Insect, the target must be in a state of lost defenses and a dazed mind."
"So far, it looks like she hasn't had the chance to use the insect yet."
With this thought, he temporarily relaxed.
He looked down at the seductive vixen.
Previously, he hadn't considered this aspect, but now, with a mental anticipation and a careful look, she indeed bore some resemblance to her game portrait.
Gu Manzhi, one of the female leads.
Oiran of the Imperial Music Bureau, ranked fifth on the list of unparalleled beauties.
Her piano skill was transcendental, very famous within Tiandu City, with countless followers.
But her real identity is actually the Holy Daughter of Moon Brilliance Sect, crafty and unpredictable, a very dangerous individual!
...
"The humble one is ready, Lord, what are you hesitating for?"
Gu Manzhi urged softly.
Looking at her beautiful face, Chen Mo's eyes were icy, and a surge of fury rose in his chest.
If it were not for the sudden appearance of the system panel, he might have repeated his predecessor's mistakes!
His predecessor was utterly devoted to her, only to end up in such a plight…
Loyal dogs don't deserve sympathy.
But bad women deserve to die too!
Chen Mo reached out, grabbing her slender neck.
Gu Manzhi thought he was flirting, and her smile became even more enchanting, but as his grip gradually tightened, she finally realized something was wrong.
"What's wrong, Lord?"
"I, I can hardly breathe…"
Gu Manzhi's face turned red, struggling in pain.
Chen Mo's gaze was indifferent, without a hint of hesitation, the strength in his palm erupted.
Crack!
A crisp snap, her neck bent into an eerie angle!
Gu Manzhi's expression froze, her eyes filled with confusion and sorrow, slowly losing their luster.
