On a quiet rainy night, the capital city of Jiang Cheng was unusually calm.
The neon lights reflected on the wet streets, and the entire city seemed to slow down as gentle rain fell from the dark sky. At the most luxurious private hospital in Jiang Cheng, the top floor had already been sealed off. Security guards stood at every entrance, and no one was allowed to step in without permission.
Tonight, the heir of the Gu family was about to be born.
The Gu family was the richest family in the entire capital, controlling finance, real estate, technology, and countless industries. Their influence spread across the whole country, and even the government treated them with respect. For such a family, the birth of a successor was not just a private matter — it was an event that many powerful people were quietly paying attention to.
Outside the delivery room, Gu Tianhao stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the closed door.
His expression was calm, but the slight tension in his eyes revealed his worry. No matter how powerful he was in the business world, at this moment he was only a father waiting for his child to be born.
Several senior doctors and nurses were already on standby, and even the hospital director personally came to supervise the situation. Everything had to be perfect.
Then suddenly—
A clear and loud cry of a newborn broke the silence.
The delivery room door opened slowly.
A doctor walked out, smiling respectfully.
"Congratulations, Chairman Gu. It's a boy. Both mother and child are safe."
For the first time in years, Gu Tianhao let out a deep breath of relief. The cold aura around him softened, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
"Good," he said quietly. "Very good."
Inside the delivery room, the newborn baby slowly opened his eyes.
His vision was blurry at first, but his consciousness was strangely clear. He could feel the warmth of the blanket, hear the soft voices around him, and sense the gentle movements of the nurses.
And then, a cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Perfect Life System binding…]
[Binding successful.]
[Host: Gu Wen]
The newborn baby's eyes moved slightly.
Perfect Life System?
Before he could fully understand what was happening, information quietly flowed into his mind.
He was Gu Wen, the only heir of the Gu family, born into the richest household in Jiang Cheng. From the moment he was born, he already stood at the peak that countless people could never reach in their entire lives.
But this system…
It was something far beyond wealth and power.
[Perfect Life System activated.]
[System Purpose: Guide the host to obtain a perfect life and stand at the peak of the world.]
Warm energy slowly flowed through his tiny body, strengthening every part of him silently. His brain became clearer, his senses sharper, and even his breathing felt smoother.
[Newborn Gift Activated.]
Perfect Appearance.Perfect Intelligence.Perfect Physique.Absolute Memory.
Gu Wen quietly accepted the information.
There was no panic, no confusion, only calm observation.
A perfect life system.
Perfect talent.
Perfect future.
It seemed that this life had already been arranged from the very beginning.
The system voice continued.
[Important Life Arrangement Detected.]
[Target: Liu Ruyan][Relationship: Childhood Engagement ][Family: Liu Family — Second Richest Family in Jiang Cheng]
Gu Wen's small fingers moved slightly.
So even his future marriage had already been decided.
Liu Ruyan.
The name quietly settled in his mind.
[Main Task Released.]
[Build a Perfect Life Beginning with Emotional Bond.][Primary Objective: Establish deep relationship with Liu Ruyan.]
[Affection Target: Liu Ruyan]
[Current Affection: 15]
[Recommended Strategy: Grow together and build emotional attachment.]
Gu Wen slowly blinked.
A faint emotion appeared in his otherwise calm mind.
It wasn't resistance.
It wasn't excitement either.
It was simply acceptance.
Being born in the richest family already meant he would carry responsibility, power, and expectations. Now, with the Perfect Life System guiding him, his future path became even clearer.
A perfect life.
A perfect partner.
A perfect future.
Perhaps this was fate.
The nurse gently picked him up and carried him outside.
When Gu Tianhao saw the baby, he was slightly stunned.
The child in front of him looked unbelievably delicate, with smooth fair skin and sharp, well-shaped features. Even as a newborn, his appearance was already extraordinary, as if he was carefully crafted by heaven itself.
The nurse smiled.
"Chairman Gu, your son is very handsome. I have never seen such a beautiful newborn before."
Gu Tianhao carefully took the baby into his arms.
Gu Wen quietly looked at the man in front of him.
His father.
The most powerful man in Jiang Cheng.
Gu Tianhao gently touched the baby's face and said in a deep voice,
"My son will be named Gu Wen."
At that moment, Gu Wen felt a strange sense of belonging.
This was his new life.
This was his new world.
Far away, in another luxury hospital in Jiang Cheng, a baby girl was also born into the Liu family.
Her name was Liu Ruyan.
On that same night, the Gu family and Liu family quietly confirmed the engagement between the two newborns.
Two children.
Two top families.
One future.
Back in the Gu family villa, Gu Wen lay quietly in his cradle as the rain continued outside the window.
The system interface slowly appeared again.
[Main Mission: Perfect Life Begins Now]
[Stage One: Childhood Bond]
[Objective: Increase Liu Ruyan's Affection to 30]
Gu Wen slowly closed his eyes.
His breathing became steady and calm.
This life had only just begun.
And the first step toward a perfect life…
Was Liu Ruyan.
