Chapter 1: Find a way to fall in love with me

In Bencheng City, Xiao Yu stood at the restaurant’s entrance, seething with a mix of grief and indignation. Twice born into this world, yet he couldn’t evade the inescapable ordeal of blind dates.

It was bad enough being coerced by his mother in his past life. Now, at merely twenty-two, history was repeating itself.

‘Can’t a mother show a little respect to her own son?’

Remembering his mother’s bad temper and her hands-on way of discipline, Xiao Yu shuddered.

“Sigh, just endure it for now,” he thought.

To avoid the wrath and physical reprimands of his mother, he resigned himself to the blind date.

Twice born? Yes, Xiao Yu was a transmigrator. In his previous life, he was a celebrated police officer known for cracking major cases. However, a mission went awry, and he was fatally shot.

Closing his eyes in one life and opening them in another, he not only found himself in a different world but also reborn as a youth.

This world resembled his former one, yet there were subtle differences. For instance, the nation he now inhabited was known as the Dragon Kingdom.

Furthermore, Xiao Yu had awakened an extraordinary system.

The Police God Sign-in System!

Each case signed into bestowed new abilities upon him, and solving them granted unique skills.

Reflecting on this system, Xiao Yu felt an overwhelming mix of emotions. He had dedicated his former life to policing, ultimately sacrificing himself for his country.

He had hoped, after transmigration, to embrace the simplicity of an ordinary life. But fate, it seemed, had other plans with this system. Was it destiny’s way of pushing him back to his old profession?

Xiao Yu had questioned, “Must I continue this path of sacrifice?” 

But internally, he acknowledged a truth he couldn’t deny, ‘I have never truly let go.’

This inner admission was why he chose to return to the police academy even after transmigration. After all, some must undertake life’s perilous duties.

As for blind dates, Xiao Yu was firmly against them. Only 22 and freshly graduated from the police academy, he had no desire to leap into what many joked about as the ‘so-called grave of marriage.’

He wasn’t about to be that fool.

Upon his arrival, Xiao Yu had already devised a cunning scheme to repulse his date and make sure she would look down on him.

Not only would this fulfill the task his mother had set for him, but it would also allow him to continue his cherished single life, killing two birds with a stone.

With this thought, he entered the restaurant.

A waiter greeted him with a warm smile, “How many in your party, sir?”

“I have a reservation,” Xiao Yu responded with a friendly smile. “Could you tell me where private room No. 9 is?”

“Oh, um…” The waiter’s smile faltered, tinged with a bit of embarrassment. “I’m new here, just one moment, please. I’ll check for you.”

“Sure.” Xiao Yu nodded. 

He understood the challenges of service work and chose not to make things difficult for the waiter.

Shortly, the waiter returned, gesturing, “It’s over there. That’s private room No. 9.”

“Thank you,” Xiao Yu said, heading toward the room.

Reaching the door, he paused, noticing something amiss. The number plate did indeed read 9, yet it was loosely hanging, with a nail hole visible.

Not dwelling on it, he knocked, turned the handle, and stepped inside.

As the door shut behind him, the number plate quivered, rotating halfway to block the nail hole, and the 9 became a 6.

Stepping into the private room, Xiao Yu was immediately struck with awe.

The room was spacious, hosting only a solitary figure at the dining table. It was a woman, seemingly in her mid-twenties. Her hair elegantly framed her classically delicate, almond-shaped face. Her nose was aristocratically high, and her eyes were large and expressive, suggesting a touch of exotic mixed heritage.

She was at an age where sweetness and allure naturally intertwined, creating an irresistible charm that made it hard to look away. 

Yet, there was a palpable coldness about her.

Even at a distance of over two meters, Xiao Yu could feel an icy aura emanating from her perfect form, reminiscent of a snow lotus perched high upon a mountain peak, untouchable in her elegance and purity.

There was an inexplicable impulse in him to challenge that poise, to witness her in a state of bashful disarray.

“Who are you?” 

Her voice, cool yet melodious, floated from her slightly parted crimson lips.

Regaining his composure, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but marvel inwardly. This was the first time he encountered a lady whose beauty surpassed that of celebrities, her aura commanding like a queen, akin to a mature beauty.

Her presence was like an iceberg, yet her allure was as captivating as fire.

‘What a pity,’ Xiao Yu inwardly lamented, his thoughts a mix of admiration and regret.

He could tell that the woman before him was far from ordinary. In fact, they seemed to belong to entirely different worlds. The nobility and grace she exuded were traits beyond the reach of most. A woman of her caliber wouldn’t typically fancy a ‘young and inexperienced guy.’

Of course, whether she was interested or not was beside the point. His objective wasn’t to have a successful blind date, but merely to fulfill his mother’s task.

“I’m here for the blind date,” Xiao Yu declared, disregarding the woman’s furrowed brow as he pulled out a chair and sat down with a grin.

“A blind date?” The woman’s eyes narrowed, a peculiar gleam dancing in her crescent-moon-like eyes. “With me?”

“That’s right.” Xiao Yu nodded confidently. “My mom sent me here. You are Aunt Zhou’s daughter, aren’t you?”

The woman remained silent, her lips curving into a faint, enigmatic smile.

“Your first time on a blind date?” Xiao Yu quipped. “I’ll cut to the chase. Since you’re quite a looker, I’ll admit, you’ve caught my interest. So here’s the deal, find a way to fall for me. Among 1.4 billion people, I’m giving you this unique opportunity.”

The woman’s reaction was one of utter astonishment. Her beautifully expressive face looked as though she had just seen a ghost in the full light of day.
