Chapter 001: The Beauty Comes Knocking

　　Wherever there are scandalous photos, there is Charles Bennett.

　　Here, “scandalous photos” doesn’t just refer to those alluring, revealing pictures, but more broadly to all images of beautiful women circulating online. Charles Bennett is a die-hard fan of such photos, just like a stamp collector—he obsessively collects every sexy photo his eyes can see, and every night, he can’t fall asleep without watching a slideshow of tens of thousands of these images on his computer.

　　Even so, Charles Bennett is still not satisfied. He wrote a wish-fulfillment novel on Qidian Chinese Network called "My Happy Life with All the Scandalous Photo Girls." In the book, this guy shamelessly uses the first person, gives the protagonist some overpowered abilities, and then indulges himself, letting the protagonist, with his extraordinary charm, have all sorts of wonderful and indescribable relationships with various scandalous photo girls.

　　Moreover, Big Bennett truly believes in the joy of sharing. He uploaded pictures of every female lead in the “related works” section of his book, sharing the pleasure of fantasy with his supportive readers. Like some veteran readers, Charles Bennett isn’t interested in pictures of celebrities or adult film stars online; he focuses on images of those lesser-known beauties.

　　Charles Bennett always wondered: these women aren’t entertainment stars or celebrities, so how did their photos end up online? What do they do in real life? And are they really as beautiful in person as they are in the photos?

　　Because of these questions, Charles Bennett and his imaginative reader buddies created all sorts of identities for these mysterious beauties, weaving one beautiful story after another. Maybe, for these lustful folks, this is a dream world entirely of their own making.

　　Charles Bennett never expected that this “masterpiece,” which hadn’t earned him a single cent in royalties, would land him in huge trouble!

　　At this very moment, standing in front of Charles Bennett is a beautiful young policewoman. Her neat short hair, heroic and pretty face, the full curves barely contained by her uniform, and her shapely, powerful legs—all of it stuns Charles Bennett’s eyes.

　　If it were before, being alone with such a stunning uniformed beauty, Charles Bennett would probably be grinning for three days and nights. But now, Big Bennett feels like crying... He’s just too familiar with this policewoman.

　　This policewoman’s name is Ethan Brooks—whether it’s her real name or an online alias, who knows. That’s not important. What matters is, she’s one of the female leads in Charles Bennett’s novel, and her photos were uploaded several times by Big Bennett in the book. At the request of many readers, just a few days ago, the male lead in Charles Bennett’s book had a very rough and forceful encounter with this Ethan Brooks...

　　Right now, Charles Bennett is at a loss. Even if he had a thousand guesses, he never would have thought that Ethan Brooks herself would appear just half a meter in front of him. There are tons of cases of people misusing beautiful women’s photos online, but he’d never heard of the real person showing up at your door. How could unlucky Charles Bennett have known he’d win this kind of “jackpot”?

　　Taking a deep breath, Charles Bennett muttered to himself: “Damn, I only used a pseudonym online—how did she find out my real identity? She actually tracked me down. Could she be one of those legendary cyber police?”

　　At that moment, Ethan Brooks spoke: “Where did you get my photos?”

　　Her voice was like a block of ice shattering on the ground—hard and cold. Confess and you’ll be treated leniently; resist and you’ll be punished harshly. Charles Bennett thought carefully and replied, “I think I found them on a blog called ‘Fairy Forest.’ Officer, that’s not illegal, right?”

　　“Fairy Forest?” Ethan Brooks was surprised, a look of exasperation flashing across her beautiful face.

　　She also keeps a blog in private, but never uploads her own photos online. And the illustrations in Charles Bennett’s book don’t look like candid shots—they’re clearly photos she kept in her bedroom drawer album. That only leaves one explanation... The clever policewoman quickly figured it out.

　　Staring at the honest-looking Charles Bennett, Ethan Brooks said in a low voice, “Mr. Bennett, don’t you think what you’ve done is shameless?”

　　This officer clearly doesn’t know that shamelessness is all the rage these days. If you’re not shameless, you’d be embarrassed to even greet people. Looking at the furious and beautiful policewoman, Charles Bennett replied sincerely, “Officer, you know, it’s just a novel—pure fiction. Besides, I didn’t know I’d offend you. Mainly, your looks, temperament, and figure fit my female lead so perfectly, I just couldn’t help it... The people’s police serve the people. I apologize to you—just consider it a contribution to art. Let’s turn a big problem into a small one, and a small one into nothing. What do you say?”
