“Ah, ahuk…!”

Hezhen, lying on the floor, groaned in agony, covering his precious parts with both hands.

“Hu… Kuk…”

[SYSTEM] The attribute [Impotent] has been added to your player profile.

[SYSTEM] Congratulations! You’ve gained 1200 experience points as a new attribute effect.

[SYSTEM] Experience points have exceeded the maximum. In the tutorial stage, the level is limited to 10 or below.

Hezhen’s eyes widened in horror as he belatedly noticed the system window in front of him.

【Seedless Watermelon】 Lv.10 Hezhen Einsbahn

Attribute: Impotent

He then cried out in despair.

“No, no! Me, impotent! I can’t be impotent!”

I looked down impassively at Hezhen writhing in misery on the floor.

Since this was all happening in a game, the player ‘playing’ Hezhen in reality wouldn’t be affected, which made me feel less guilty.

‘Besides, if I don’t secure this annulment, I’ll die for that damn guy’s awakening.’

My death was merely an event in his game, but for me, it was real life.

If he tried to maintain our in-game romantic status, I had no choice but to detach him like this.

‘It would be even better if he fails to awaken and decides to give up on the scenario or logs out forever.’

[Oh, poor player! You’ve lost your reproductive ability˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥‧º·˚)]

A sympathetic alarm popped up with a playful sound effect.

[Looks like awakening failure is imminent for you. Your impotent route isn’t far off!!!! (＾0＾)っ✂✂✂]

‘Wait, is this mockery rather than consolation…?’

[But fear not! There’s always a way out even when the sky falls!

You haven’t maintained a 30-day relationship with yet… But we’ll unlock the awakening scenario for you as a beginner’s benefit!

Succeed in awakening to gain the title of and regain your lost reproductive ability♡⁺◟●˙▾˙●)◞⁺♡]

‘Wait, what…?’

My expression froze as I read the following announcement.

[Here’s one more chance just for you! We’ll send you the awakening scenario and additional quests, so make sure to succeed!!! ☆(･ω･)ゞ]

Not just I, but Hezhen also reacted to this message.

“Awakening…!”

Hezhen, who had been in despair, suddenly perked up, his eyes gleaming with a deadly intent.

‘What, what’s this?’

His slightly deranged look made me instinctively step back, but at that moment…

[SYSTEM] Relationship status maintained, fulfilling the condition for !

[SYSTEM] Tutorial scenario is activated! (▶Preview scenario)

A flashy video unfolded before my eyes, and its content was horrifyingly…

[Unknown enemies target you and your lover. You barely escape, but during the ordeal, your lover loses their life.

Mourning the death of your lover, a bright light unveils your sealed powers, and you regain your lost reproductive ability…!]

…it was me, dying in Hezhen’s arms, coughing up blood.

‘What, what is this?’

[SYSTEM] ‘s remaining lifespan is being adjusted.

A wave of intense fear washed over me.

My remaining lifespan blurred, then a new message appeared:

Louibelle Ajester, Princess of the Ajester Empire

Attribute: Lover, Terminal (Remaining Lifespan: Unknown)

‘Unknown.’

My fate, previously set to die in 6 days, had changed, but it also meant I could die at any moment. The terminal attribute remained.

‘Why…?’

I was utterly baffled.
I had deliberately sabotaged his play to hinder him and had almost achieved an annulment. Yet, my life seemed to be controlled by someone else, flowing against my will.

Who decided to give him the beginner’s benefit? Who decided to give him another chance?

[SYSTEM] Quest Arrival!

With a cheerful sound, a new quest notification appeared.

[Main Quest: Lover’s Death]

“Louibelle…”

A moist, tender voice called out to me.

Hezhen blinked his innocent eyelashes.

“Do you smell something burning?”

“What?”

Wondering what nonsense he was talking about, I looked at him, only for him to suddenly grasp my hand and press it against his chest.

“My heart’s burning. It started the moment I saw you.”

“Damn it…”

I quickly shook off his hand, feeling a chill run down my spine.

What’s this guy doing?

I stared at him with disgust.

“Oh, I can’t bear it! I’m going to report you to the imperial knights! For arson in my heart…”

But Hezhen kept spewing cheesy lines, oblivious to my reactions.

Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)

One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!

Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.

The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.

The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.

Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.

Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.

…

Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.

Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.

After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!

Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”

The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.

It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.

When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…

Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
