Chapter 33

"This is the first time I've been moved in my life, and it's even love at first sight." Zhang Chengyuan felt that he seemed somewhat absurd, a person who had once vowed to seek immortality was now actually developing feelings for a woman. It seemed that the temptations of the secular world were indeed powerful, and his state of mind had already become vastly different from his previous life. The current him no longer deserved the title of a "cultivation practitioner." However, this was not bad. Since he could not cultivate in this life, it was better to experience all the facets of human life and the true love of mortals rather than live a muddled life after his dreams were shattered.

After Kim Tae-hee left, Park Byung-ryul, looking at Zhang Chengyuan's thoughtful expression, teased, "Chengyuan, are you captivated by her?" This was the first time Park Byung-ryul had seen Zhang Chengyuan so focused on a girl. He had originally thought that Zhang Chengyuan, being younger, did not yet understand such matters of love. Although Zhang Chengyuan had encountered various beautiful women in the entertainment industry, he had never been moved, at most only feeling a bit curious.

Zhang Chengyuan frankly said, "It seems so. Seeing her, I have an indescribable feeling, and my heart rate has clearly increased." Knowing that his previous loss of composure could not be hidden from the old fox Park Byung-ryul, Zhang Chengyuan did not deny it. After all, Park Byung-ryul was not a gossip reporter and would not spread this matter.

Park Byung-ryul sighed, somewhat regretfully, "What a pity, she already has a boyfriend. You should look for someone else."

Before signing the contract, Park Byung-ryul had thoroughly investigated all aspects of Kim Tae-hee's situation, including some private matters related to her emotions and family background. Due to the current economic system in the entertainment industry, Kim Tae-hee had to disclose everything truthfully, otherwise, it would be impossible to prevent sudden incidents or handle them appropriately after they occurred. Of course, Park Byung-ryul was not the kind of unscrupulous boss who would use artists' weaknesses to control and oppress them. As long as it did not affect the company's legitimate interests, he would not inquire about the truly life-threatening secrets of the artists. Moreover, Kim Tae-hee was not an ordinary girl. Given her background and talents, she was not someone that a small company boss like Park Byung-ryul could easily manipulate.

Hearing Park Byung-ryul's words, Zhang Chengyuan felt somewhat regretful and remained silent for a long time before sighing, "Well, if that's the case, I'll just treat her as a good older sister." His words sounded carefree, but he felt somewhat reluctant inside.

Park Byung-ryul noticed this and consoled him, "You're young, you should focus on your career. Don't waste too much time and energy on love. Besides, with your conditions, are you afraid of not finding a suitable girlfriend? For example, the members of Fin.K.L like Lee Hyori and Sung Yuri are quite good, aren't they? Your relationship with them is quite good, right? I don't think they are inferior to our Tae-hee."

Although Kim Tae-hee's beauty could be described as倾国倾城, it was not truly flawless. There are no perfect beauties in this world; only in the eyes of a lover does a perfect other half exist.

If one were to be picky, Kim Tae-hee's teeth, though neat and white, were slightly protruding. This was not noticeable when her mouth was closed, but it became evident when she smiled. Additionally, Kim Tae-hee's height was only 162 cm. Although her well-proportioned figure and graceful posture could somewhat compensate for this, standing next to Zhang Chengyuan, who was 185 cm tall, she would still appear short even in high heels.

Compared to Sung Yuri, who was the sweetest-looking member of Fin.K.L, her facial features might be slightly less proportionate than Kim Tae-hee's, but she had a significant advantage in height, and her teeth did not have the same minor issues as Kim Tae-hee's.

Of course, Sung Yuri also had a few minor imperfections that were hard to notice. However, regardless of what, both Kim Tae-hee and Sung Yuri were truly great beauties. It was really difficult to compare who was more outstanding, as each had their strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, it was hard to determine who was more beautiful, and there was no need to make such a comparison.

Sometimes, men fall in love with women more based on feelings rather than holding a beauty contest in their minds. It's not about who is a little more beautiful, but who they like more!

In the eyes of a lover, Zhang Chengyuan saw Kim Tae-hee as the most perfect one. The minor imperfections were insignificant and did not diminish her charm at all. Instead, they made her seem more real and approachable. As for Lee Hyori, Sung Yuri, and others, they were his sisters, and it was inappropriate to compare them in this context.

Zhang Chengyuan gave Park Byung-ryul an angry look and said, "They are my sisters, why are you bringing them into this? Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Park Byung-ryul laughed and said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore." He was not angry at Zhang Chengyuan's glare, treating it as a child's tantrum.

Zhang Chengyuan bid farewell and went home. Sitting in the taxi, he kept thinking, "Sister Hyori, Sister Joo-hyun, Sister Lee Jin, Sister Yuri, do I really just see them as sisters? Do I have no other thoughts? Let's not talk about Joo-hyun for now; with her personality, she probably wouldn't like someone younger. Sister Lee Jin is a devout Christian with a simple mind; she might only marry another devout Christian and wouldn't like someone as fickle as me.

Hmm? Am I fickle? Why do I think I am fickle? Could it be that subconsciously I want to have multiple partners and enjoy the blessings of a harem? Maybe I really do have this thought? If Sister Hyori and Sister Yuri leave me and find other boyfriends, would I be angry? Would I even fly into a rage and drive away their boyfriends? I think I would! I should! I definitely would!

Sister Hyori is so alluring and beautiful, and Sister Yuri is so lovely and charming. They are so understanding and care for me so much. How could I bear to let them leave me? Hmm, Sister Jin is also great. If I can't see her sincere smile, life would be so boring! And Sister Joo-hyun, even though she is a bit heavier, it doesn't matter. I can help her lose weight. If I can't eat the food she cooks, I would miss it terribly..."

After a while, he thought, "Why am I so greedy, wanting this one and that one? I can't bear to give up any of them. If it were in my previous life in the Song Dynasty, as long as the sisters were willing, I could marry as many as I wanted. But the modern Korean law won't allow that. Sigh! This is so frustrating!

If my mind-splitting technique could reach its peak, I could split into seven or eight spirit avatars at any time, and after training, they wouldn't be inferior to ordinary human bodies. Then I wouldn't have to worry about who to be with and could marry all the sisters. But with the current level of spiritual energy, it's impossible to achieve this! What should I do now? Should I marry Sister Hyori first, live with her for a couple of years, then divorce her, and then marry Sister Joo-hyun, and after a couple of years, divorce her again, and then use the same method to marry Sister Lee Jin and Sister Yuri?

Divorce, marriage, divorce, marriage... If I keep doing this, wouldn't I be the most despicable and unfaithful man in the world? No, no, this absolutely won't do! What if I change my nationality? I heard that in a certain African country, men can have dozens of wives. But I, a proud Chinese, becoming a citizen of a small country like Korea is already humiliating, and now I have to become a barbarian? How can I do that..."

When he got home, he lay on the bed, tossing and turning, still troubled by his own thoughts, without considering whether Lee Hyori, Sung Yuri, and others would be willing. If they knew about his despicable thoughts, they might grit their teeth and bash his head in.
