God Asked You to Love Me

"I'm sorry, I don't like you." Evelyn, having rejected a heartfelt confession from her suitor, maneuvered past the jeering crowd and stepped outside with her bag in hand. As she exited the restaurant, her face, which had initially held a hint of apology, became marked by a touch of helplessness and annoyance. Why was it that lately, so many people were proposing to her? What gave them the confidence and courage to think that by bringing a crowd along to cheer, she would agree? Did these men actually believe that just because she had replied to them a few times, she had any interest? It was simply casual banter during her good moods—why did they take it seriously? If everyone was going to propose so desperately, she would be utterly annoyed. Evelyn shook her head as she settled into her car. Her WeChat notifications were overwhelming, but she didn't bother to check. It was as if those men couldn't survive without her, always wanting to know what she was doing or if she’d eaten. Just then, her friend's call came through. She put on her Bluetooth headset while starting the engine. "Hey, Evelyn, with so many people chasing after you, why aren’t you dating anyone?" Evelyn chuckled softly, "What’s the point of dating? Being tied to one person is so dull. I'd rather be free and do whatever I want." "But don’t you ever think you might actually like someone?" Evelyn joked, "Liking someone is too tiring, so I prefer to like ten." "I really envy you for being so easygoing. No wonder so many men are chasing after you; I honestly wonder if I’ll ever see you caught up in the whirlpool of love." Evelyn remained silent. Deep down, she thought, who among those men is worthy of getting her caught up? It's one thing to toy with emotions, but asking her to genuinely love someone is a definite no. "I’m driving, let’s talk later.” The traffic ahead was at a standstill, and it didn’t seem like it would move anytime soon. Evelyn rolled down her car window, preparing to smoke. She lit a cigarette and released gentle smoke rings. Under the glow of the streetlights, passersby could see Evelyn sitting in her car. Her figure was curvaceous, with a slim waist, dressed in a dark green slip dress. Her skin glowed with a porcelain brightness; one hand rested on the steering wheel while the other held a cigarette, fingers long and delicate. Her gaze was dreamy, with a fleeting glance that seemed to hold the brilliance of countless stars. The dark green dress gave her a mysterious air, enveloping her pure and enticing body in an alluring veil. Suddenly, Evelyn heard a dull thud of impact. She turned her head slightly to see that the car beside her had been rear-ended. The driver of the other car, a man, was staring blankly at her, his eyes glazed over, clearly distracted. At that moment, the driver of the struck vehicle was cursing as he got out. Finding it too noisy, Evelyn rolled up her window. Once the road cleared, she continued driving, but the car next to her still followed. Evelyn tried to take a different route to shake him off. However, as she was about to turn, her Bluetooth earpiece unexpectedly fell, landing on her lap. She instinctively lowered her head, just in time to see a truck coming out from the intersection. It seemed the truck driver didn’t notice her at all as he barreled straight toward her. She had no time to react and could only crank the steering wheel. In that split second before impact, her mind went blank. When she regained consciousness, she felt a pounding headache and vaguely heard a man and a woman speaking. “Did she see you?” “Shouldn’t have, I just hid.” “Stop talking; it looks like she’s waking up. You need to leave now.” The pain gradually faded, as if it didn’t belong to her. Her awareness slowly returned, and she gradually opened her eyes. Everything in front of her felt very strange. A man in a white shirt walked in. "Honey, are you awake?" Evelyn's expression changed. Was he calling her? But she didn't have a husband. She frowned and looked at the man speaking, realizing she didn't recognize him at all. Confused, many possibilities flashed through her mind. Could it be that she had crossed over to another world? As she observed William, he had already walked to the side of the bed. Evelyn had just woken up, her eyes misty, hidden behind a layer of fog, with helplessness and confusion written in her gaze. Her soft, delicate eyes resembled a graceful dancer tossing a light veil while dancing, landing softly on him. William looked at Evelyn, feeling strangely that she seemed like a different person the moment she woke up. He couldn’t help but stare, finding her more and more beautiful. After a moment of hesitation, Evelyn softly said, "I want to drink some water." Her voice was a bit dry, but her tone was gentle and soft. William was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded, "Okay, I'll go get you some water." Evelyn nodded, watching him leave, and her expression gradually turned serious. Where exactly was this place? 【"Ding! The charm system of the gods has been linked… Loading memories."】 A mechanical, cold voice echoed in Evelyn's mind. Before she could react, unfamiliar memories suddenly flooded her brain. It turned out she was now in another world, and the owner of this body was also named Evelyn. She was twenty-six years old, the only daughter of the president of the Miller Group, and had been married for over two years. The original owner's mother passed away early, and her father never remarried. Although he was busy with work, he never neglected her and treated her well. Twelve years ago, the original owner's aunt died, leaving behind a daughter. Out of pity for the girl who had no one to care for her, the original owner's father brought her to the Jiang family, providing a playmate for his daughter. Initially, it was just a temporary arrangement, but two years later, he formally adopted the girl, changing her surname to Miller and naming her Ava. From then on, the family had an additional "second young lady." Although the original owner and Ava were not biological sisters, she treated Ava very well, like a real sister. After two years of marriage, the relationship between the original owner and her husband began to deteriorate. The once loving couple became distant and cold, but she couldn't figure out why and kept trying to mend their relationship. However, no matter what she did, she couldn't win back her husband's heart and even discovered signs of his infidelity. She initially decided to divorce him, but at that moment, her father suddenly fell seriously ill. Since her relationship with her husband soured, misunderstandings piled up between her and her father, leading to frequent arguments. She used to visit home every week, but her visits became less frequent, while Jiang Yue often returned home. With her father’s illness and her husband's betrayal hitting her hard, her life fell into chaos. She considered Ava her only family and confided in her, but Jiang Yue advised her not to divorce for the sake of her father's company. Encouraged by Jiang Yue, the original owner decided to give her husband another chance and start anew. Yet, her husband did not change because of her forgiveness; after a brief period of improvement, he quickly reverted to his old ways. After her father's death, she chose to divorce, but by then, her depression had become severe. She suffered from insomnia, felt lost, and her mental state declined, leading her to drink and smoke excessively. Eventually, she was diagnosed with cancer. It was only before her death that Ava revealed the entire truth. Ava had never regarded her as a sister and even harbored deep resentment towards her. Her husband's affair was with Ava, and the rift with her father was also due to Ava's schemes. After hearing this, the original body lost consciousness. Evelyn arrived just a day before the original body's second anniversary with her husband, William. At this point, Ava and William's affair had been ongoing for six months. They had been very careful, but one day the original body found a tissue in William's pocket that carried a faint scent of perfume. Evelyn suspected that Ava had intentionally let her discover it. Today, the original body had planned to have afternoon tea with friends, but when her friend had to leave unexpectedly, she returned home early. To her surprise, Ava and William were at home, and she almost caught them. If she hadn't accidentally tripped and called out while going upstairs, the two passionately engaged upstairs would have remained unaware of her return. [Memory transmission complete.] Evelyn's expression changed slightly; what was this voice? [The Gods' Temptation System is at your service.] The Gods' Temptation System? What a strange name. [It encompasses dreams and desires, meaning this is a system that fulfills people's dreams and desires.] [Host Evelyn's body is already dead, but as long as you complete tasks according to the system's guidance, you can continue to exist and receive rewards.] Evelyn didn't seem to resist the sudden appearance of the system; her original body was dead, and since this entity could allow her to keep living, it seemed like a good thing. What concerned her more was what this system required her to do—there's no such thing as a free lunch; everything is an exchange. "What tasks?" 【Satisfy the original self's last wish and collect enough greed points.】 "Why me?" The system recited a long list of data, then summarized, 【In short, your soul has been detected by the system as a 'perfect seductress.' Your charm skills are maxed out, and your heartless index is at full score; you are a typical egoist, making you very suitable for executing tasks.】 Hearing such an evaluation from the system, Evelyn's expression seemed to flicker for a moment, then she smiled, her alluring eyes curving into a beautiful arc. Oh? That sounds quite interesting; at least the assessment of her is somewhat fair. This mechanical evaluation made her happier than the compliments from others. So, she cheerfully asked, "What kind of reward are you talking about?" 【Greed points can be exchanged for anything you desire, such as beauty, acting skills, body shape, and various abilities.】 Evelyn nodded, "The original owner's last wish, let me guess... is it to punish those who have hurt her?" 【Close, but as the charm system of the gods, your main task is still to collect greed points. As long as you cause people to desire you, you will gain greed points.】 "Cause people to desire me?" 【Yes, I believe this should come naturally to you.】 Evelyn raised an eyebrow. The door opened again, and William walked in with a glass of water. In fact, William is quite handsome, tall, and carries himself elegantly and gently. If it weren't for her knowledge of the original owner's memories, Evelyn truly wouldn't see him as such a scoundrel. "Wife, the water's here," William said softly, his gaze on Evelyn focused. Evelyn took the glass, had a sip, and caught a glimpse of William watching her with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. After two years of marriage, William felt he understood his wife, Evelyn, quite well. However, when she suddenly seemed like a different person, he sensed something was off, though he didn't dwell on it. He merely thought that Evelyn appeared more charming than usual today; as soon as he opened his eyes, she captivated him, making him want to gaze at her. She handed him a glass of water and asked, "Has Ava left?" William's hand trembled slightly as he took the cup, nearly spilling the remaining half of the water. "Wha... what?" he stammered, panicking for a moment before quickly regaining his composure. "Ava isn't here." Evelyn smiled at him, "Wasn't Ava just here? I heard her voice." Despite Evelyn's stunning smile and the unsettling nature of her words, William couldn't help but stare at her face. Her eyes, with their long, upward sweep, held a hint of allure that made his heart race. He slowed his breathing, "You must have misheard; there's no one else here. You fainted by the stairs, and I carried you to the bedroom when I got back." Evelyn smiled knowingly, "Oh, maybe I did mishear." William's heart didn't fully settle; instead, it started to race faster. "How are you feeling now, dear?" Evelyn replied, "I feel much better. What time is it?" "It's a little past five." Evelyn threw off the covers and got out of bed. "What’s wrong?" "I suddenly remembered there's a high school reunion tonight." Due to her fall, the original person did not attend the reunion, but Evelyn recalled that Lucas would be there. William felt an inexplicable sense that this reunion was significant. "What reunion? I don’t recall you mentioning it before." "I told you about this, and you forgot," Evelyn said as she walked toward the cloakroom. William followed her, asking, "Are you going alone?" Evelyn lazily replied, "Ava will go too." She pulled out a black dress and held it up in front of the mirror. William frowned, "That one doesn’t look good." "Doesn’t it look nice?" Evelyn turned to look at him. It wasn't that it didn't look nice; it was too stunning. Even without wearing it, one could imagine how alluring Evelyn would look in it. "Why don't you try a different one?" William shook his head. Evelyn smiled and turned to pick another dress, which happened to be a dark green velvet one. This color suited Evelyn perfectly—feminine and sexy, yet elegant. The dress wasn’t revealing, but it completely showcased her curves. When she emerged in the new dress, William was left speechless. "I'm heading out now," Evelyn said, picking up her bag and walking past William with a light step. After a few steps, she added with a smile, "I might go for a few drinks with some old classmates after dinner, so I’ll be back a bit late." With that, she left without waiting for William to respond. When he came back to his senses, Evelyn was already at the door. [Earned ten points of greed value.] ... Ava only found out at the hotel that Lucas was coming today. Initially, she hadn’t planned to come, but after leaving Evelyn's place and having nothing to do, she saw the flurry of messages in the WeChat group and decided to drop by out of boredom. She didn't expect Lucas to have returned to the country. Thinking about seeing Lucas soon, Ava felt a mix of emotions. Years ago, she had a crush on Lucas for three years and finally mustered the courage to confess just a week before the college entrance exams. However, as soon as she sent her confession letter, she saw Lucas asking Evelyn out. Although Evelyn rejected Lucas, he left for studying abroad without even taking the exams. Ava always believed that this was Evelyn's fault, and her resentment towards Evelyn only intensified from that moment on. More than six years had passed, but Ava had never forgotten Lucas. She heard he was doing well overseas and had become a renowned designer internationally. As she overheard people discussing Lucas nearby, Ava couldn't help but get up and head to the restroom. In front of the mirror, she checked her makeup. A couple of years ago, she had cosmetic surgery in Korea, enhancing her nose and eyes. Previously, she would rate her looks a six out of ten, but now she felt she could easily score a nine. When her classmates saw her today, she noticed the surprise in their eyes. She thought Lucas would also be taken aback when he saw her. Ava felt a surge of anticipation. She smiled as she touched up her lipstick, put on her high heels, and returned to the private room. As she opened the door, she saw everyone gathered around a tall man. Ava's eyes lit up, and her whole demeanor changed. Taking a deep breath, she walked over, hoping Lucas would turn his gaze toward her. Finally, she saw Lucas seemingly about to look her way, and she held her breath in anticipation. "Sorry, I'm late," a delicate voice came from behind Jiang Yue, carrying a hint of laughter and apology. Every word she spoke ended with a soft, slightly flirtatious tone. Ava's expression instantly soured; she couldn't believe Evelyn had shown up.
