Gaze was now mopping the hallway of the CEO Shao Cheng’s Office, it is afterwork hours and the bug Boos likes to work late. Shao Cheng is the Cold-Hearted Male lead of this world, just as is sad the man cares for nothing and is ruthless. Some of his methods are cruel and often law-breaking.

“Ahh~” A small m.o.a.n came from deep within the Office. The Was female Lead Xu Hu, both her and the Shao Cheng had met and have been in One and Off again with their smutty actions for the last two months. So far their drama has only been office lovers without anyone getting in the way.

The First part of the Story is their meeting, their passionate nights and then eventual admittance of. The Secondary female lead will not take any action until the male lead calls off their engagement that was brought by their families.

That is the only time she goes off the walls and darkness, she doesn’t love the male lead, she understood if he wanted mistress he can have them as long as he understood that she was his wife at the end of the day.

Then the Story goes one, Drama, drama, drama, a Plot twists, a plot hole (Probably), more drama, and then a happy ending.

By the way, Gaze is the Janitor Lady that usually cleans the office in the mornings and afterhours. She is Qiao Shu, she is in her late 50s. Her husband died early, her son grew up got into some trouble and died leaving his own son in her hands.

That’s all she is a Janitor lady working to take care of her only Grandchild. She is nothing special, however, the story turned her into a scapegoat, and she ended up in prison where she died on the first day.

Curtesy of the Male lead wanting to save his female lead Xu Hu, who was about to be framed for a crime. Poor old lady she was scarified despite their being a way to save them both. But the Male lead went through the easy way and the Female lead didn’t defend her or asked to save her. Willing put and innocence lady into prison. He didn’t even bother to compensate her or help her grandson.

Her Grandson grew up blackened in the orphanage and built an empire that eventually took down the male lead. This happened after their happily ever after, they never understood that their suffering was cause because they wanted to take the easy way out.

How he was able to accomplish that, it Is unknown. But he made their lives a living hell afterword’s. So, good on you champ. That was least what should be said, but no theirs more. So this grandson had nothing but hatred and revenge causes a ‘war’ somehow which set the world on the path of destruction.

As a result, Task-Taker where pushed into this world, to complete task for Cannon-fodder related characters. But that did not stop the doomsday and a ‘war’ from brewing and destroying the world again. Leading to this world needing to be revaluated for better understand and what should be done. Basically, she is giving permission to change something as long as it prevents this worlds destruction.

Well, Gaze only found out about this extra part after she had taken over this body. She was finished mopping this floor and it was her last. She heads downstairs to clean before clocking out with the security guard.

The moment she gets home she sees the young boy asleep at the small wooden table of their small apartment. He had his books out and looked to be studying. His small baby like features reminded her of a distant memory.

….

“Do you ever think about having Children?” said a familiar voice, a young women with long brown hair and violet eyes lounged comfortably on a sofa.

“Gods, Sure have enough Free time to bother this lowly mortal.” Gaze muttered under piles of paperwork she needed to finish.

“Be Serious.”

“No, I don’t like kids.” Gaze said as she continued to work.

“Why?”

“…..”

“You can’t answer.” The women sighed. “You can’t expect to stay Queen forever, one day you’ll need to retire and pass on your throne.”

“So, your saying I should give birth to a child. And with Who, pray tell?”

“…” The women grunted with silence. “It’s not about that…One day you’ll get tired. You may not see it now. But, Eventually it will happen, Living is something one can get tired of. So you may one day tire of Being a Queen, a leader.” The women said sadly.

Gaze stopped doing her work and looked at the women on the sofa. “Do you tire of Living?”

The women did not answer and disappeared promptly. Making her frown, Gaze got a weird feeling and wasn’t sure what to do with it before a Li’a stepped in and refilled her cup of coffee. At that time she didn’t realize this would be their last conversation.

…

She glanced at the young man who is about fourteen years old and shrugged her shoulders. As she placed her items down and turned off the TV. Gaze didn’t like drama and the other characters she could have chosen had too much of it. The Granny had a simple life until framed and only cared for a teenaged grandson that didn’t have any problems.

To be honest its not that she didn’t want children, they just made her comfortable. Their innocent and nativity can be cruel.

Her mind flashed to a silver child, that was being taught to kill a red-blooded child. As well as the child being perfectly okay with doing such a thing. She only saw the memory in an A.d.u.l.t silver, she was so livid that she killed the man on the spot without hesitation.

‘A Child can be turned into a monster very easily’ She glanced at the still sleeping teenage. She cleaned up the dishes in the sink She started prepping for tomorrows meals. But nonetheless she was still responsible for caring for him.

The Wish of this body was for him to live a simple and satisfying life. The body loves this grandson very deeply. But, Gaze doesn’t and that is not an emotion on can fake.
