Achieving this is difficult.
The difficulty exceeded Wen Yu’s expectations.
Yu is wary of men - this was evident from the time Wen Yu was nearly choked to death by Yu.
Wen Yu didn’t know what trauma Yu had experienced, but it’s clear that any ordinary man trying to approach Yu through conventional means would be chasing after dreams.
However, this wariness is not insurmountable; it just requires some small strategies.
For example, in the previous life.
Wen Yu had closed the distance between himself and Yu by asking for guidance, and now all he needed to do was to take another step forward.
For this step, Wen Yu set his sights on Yan.
...
Severing ties with the Oath Keeper and becoming the captain of Yu's imperial guard went smoothly - there was no reason for Yu to disagree when everyone was on good terms.
At that moment, Yu simply sat on the throne and gently uttered the word "approved."
Then...
Wen Yu spoke again.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to marry Yan."
This is where the drama began.
Yan, standing below Yu, widened her eyes in shock, while Yu stared at Wen Yu until he felt his scalp tingle before finally nodding.
"Approved!"
This made things much easier...
Yan and Yu’s relationship was quite unusual - it was akin to that of close sisters. Once Yu approved of their marriage, Wen Yu naturally became Yu’s brother-in-law.
This brother-in-law status, combined with the subsequent "guidance phase," and Wen Yu’s sweet talk, made it so that at the very least, he was gaining Yu's favor.
Yan didn’t oppose this either; she simply blushed and remained silent.
...
The wedding was grand and went smoothly. Wen Yu fully embodied his role, ensuring everything was flawless.
Yu, obviously pleased, saw that using Yan, whom she called her “sister,” helped solidify Wen Yu’s loyalty.
To express her sincerity, Yu also bestowed considerable wealth and servants.
After a night of celebration, Wen Yu began his grand plan to win over Yu.
...
The process wasn’t very smooth; despite the conveniences brought by the "guidance phase" and his new identity, Yu remained lukewarm towards Wen Yu.
Fortunately, Wen Yu had a full century to employ his methods.
The scenes within the purple light screen fast-forwarded past various key moments, and during each significant time point, Wen Yu personally engaged, trying to build rapport with Yu.
At the same time, Wen Yu’s influence grew; he not only replaced most of his wife's responsibilities but also leveraged his past reputation with the Oath Keeper to involve himself in military and political affairs.
After decades as the Beijing chief commander, Wen Yu had some tricks up his sleeve. Not only did he not make any errors, but he also had numerous highlights.
On several occasions, Wen Yu turned the tide and saved the situation from collapsing.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Yu rapidly elevated Yu's strength, successfully securing the second position before the level restraint of ten was lifted.
Wen Yu believed he had done his best.
Yet, the ending of this life still delivered a resounding slap to Wen Yu...
...
In the year 605 of the apocalypse.
The Layered Battlefield had collapsed.
Yu sat on the throne, listening to the chaos below, her face expressionless, seemingly lost in thought.
After a moment, Yu finally spoke.
"Disperse."
"Your Majesty!"
Immediately, a general offered counsel.
"The demonic clan has reached the borders of Mornis Province and is about to invade our essential regions. Your Majesty, you must at least give some signal!"
The general’s tone was harsh - the pressure from the demonic clan was immense. With the world’s destruction already a certainty, who would willingly bow down and become someone else's lackey?
"I said disperse."
Yu’s voice remained cold, but the general was still dissatisfied!
"I’ve long been annoyed by you, you little b, you TMD..."
Before he could finish, Wen Yu had already made his move, unleashing a violent surge of soul energy that instantly turned the disrespectful general into an idiot.
