New York City, Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Through the morning mist, sunlight shone into a studio on the attic floor.
In front of an easel, a strikingly attractive young man leisurely painted the impressions in his mind.
On the canvas, a scene of war quickly emerged: a blue portal standing atop a building, swarms of monstrous soldiers rampaging, and massive warships covering the sky...
"Dear brother! Breakfast is ready, come down quickly."
A call came from downstairs.
"Okay, Jessica, please wait a moment."
Ye Li replied.
Finishing the last stroke, he took a white cloth to cover the painting.
The Battle of New York hadn't occurred yet, so this impulsive painting couldn't be revealed for now.
Ye Li was a transmigrator.
From clues like Stark Industries and Oscorp, it was evident that this was the Marvel Universe.
Upon realizing he was an ordinary person, he decided to live peacefully.
Save the world?
Leave that to the superheroes.
However, it's worth mentioning.
Although Ye Li was ordinary, in terms of relationships, he wasn't a nobody.
Hmm...
At least he was a named supporting character.
His neighbor on the left was George Stacy, the police commissioner of New York City.
George had a daughter named Gwen Stacy, a few years younger than Ye Li, who had been close to him since childhood.
As for his right-side neighbors, it goes without saying—there lived Ben Parker, Aunt May, and...
Peter Parker.
Yes, Peter Parker, Spider-Man.
Ye Li never imagined that a character he liked so much in his past life would be a kid following him around.
And that wasn't the end of it.
The girl who called out from downstairs was Jessica Ye, formerly Jessica Campbell.
She was Gwen's high school classmate and friend, whose family died in a car accident.
At the time, Ye Li impulsively adopted her as his "cheap little sister."
Later, he realized that Jessica's familiar life script was none other than that of the m"Lady Knight" Jessica Jones!
Wasn't this like stacking all the buffs?
As everyone knows, the survival rate of superheroes' close friends isn't very high.
However, Ye Li had managed to survive until now.
Probably because Peter and Jessica hadn't started their superhero journeys yet.
...
After going downstairs.
Ye Li saw two girls already sitting at the table having breakfast—Jessica and Gwen.
Both were dressed casually, youthful and beautiful, their faces exquisite like illustrations, cute yet sexy.
Additionally, one had long black hair, and the other had short, shoulder-length golden hair.
The black-haired beauty and the blonde beauty sitting together created quite the visual impact.
"Hey, Gwen, you're here too," Ye Li greeted.
Gwen playfully winked at him.
"The Chinese breakfast you taught Jessica to make is amazing."
It was obvious she was here for a free meal.
"Li, come here."
Jessica smiled and pulled out a chair between her and Gwen.
It was a seat reserved specifically for Ye Li.
There was no need to elaborate on the little schemes involved.
"Jessica, it's Li, not Lee."
Ye Li sat down, picked a soup dumpling for each of the girls, and joked with Jessica.
"We've been together for so long; if you call me the wrong name, I'll be sad~"
"Ugh, Chinese pronunciation is too hard."
Jessica adorably stuck out her tongue and corrected her pronunciation, "Lee… Li."
"Li~" Gwen called out easily.
"Hey, Gwen, your pronunciation is so accurate!" Jessica exclaimed in surprise.
Gwen smiled and said, "I've been learning Chinese recently."
"Oh, that's tough."
"My brother teaches me occasionally, but I still can't speak fluent Chinese."
Jessica picked up Chinese cooking quickly, but she seemed to lack talent for languages.
"You can start by learning Pinyin."
"I'll recommend a website to you."
Gwen opened her phone, typed in a URL, and handed it to Jessica, bypassing Ye Li.
"This is the one."
"Take a look."
Her slender figure leaned against Ye Li without hesitation.
The two girls started chatting.
Ye Li, accustomed to the sensation of their bodies pressing against him, occasionally chimed in between their slender arms and waists.
As the saying goes, beauty is as good as a feast.
In this somewhat indescribable atmosphere.
His appetite for breakfast improved significantly.
He quickly finished a basket of soup dumplings along with a bowl of egg drop soup.
"Huh?"
"Oh my God."
Scrolling through her phone, Jessica noticed a notification pop up. She immediately placed her phone on the table in front of Ye Li to share it. "Look at this—superheroes! So cool!"
On her phone was a news article.
The headline mentioned Spider-Man, accompanied by a photo.
Ye Li looked at it, puzzled.
Did Peter make his debut?
But why does the color seem off?
He tapped on the photo and zoomed in with two fingers.
And then he was dumbfounded.
The Spider-Man in the photo had a curvaceous figure.
The suit was black and white with hints of purple.
The suit also included a white hood.
Spider-Gwen?
No wonder Gwen has golden hair.
I knew something felt off.
I didn't expect you to be this kind of Gwen!
