Chapter 185
n
nDo you wish to see what happened afterwards?
n“Yes!” Shi Sheng uttered through clenched teeth. ‘I want to see how that little bitch Ji Yan ended up!’
nAfter she died, Ji Yan locked himself in his room for a month. Until one stormy day, he finally left and headed for the graveyard where her remains were buried.
nThat frail body appeared even more delicate amidst the heavy downpour. The only thing in his eyes was the reflection of her picture on the tombstone; he seemed to have given up on the world.
nThere was a hint of madness and stubbornness in his eyes as he sat down, leaning on the grave.
nThe downpour suddenly worsened, causing the scene to blur. Shi Sheng could only see him lifting his hand. She didn’t see what he did, but by the time the rain stopped, the only thing visible to her was Ji Yan’s tranquil silhouette
nThe scene ended there.
nHe died for you in the end. How do you feel?
nShi Sheng stared dumbly at the boy frozen on the screen. Only after a long while did she utter in confusion, “Was he stupid?”
n…… ‘Why is her reaction to such a touching scene so… off? There’s no hope for me…’
n“What I don’t understand is,” Shi Sheng sat cross-legged and poked at the screen as she muttered, “Why were you so certain you liked me?”
nHe already died for you. Wasn’t that enough proof? Why were you able to accept Feng Ci, but not Ji Yan?
nShi Sheng’s finger trembled as her gaze fluctuated slightly. She gradually took her hand away and locked her fingers together, before slowly uttering, “Feng Ci… is different.”
nFeng Ci was special to her.
nHow so?
n“None of your business.” Shi Sheng slapped the screen before threatening in a dark voice, “I’m warning you, don’t try to test my bottom line. You can’t handle the consequences.”
n…… ‘Host is very scary right now…’
nSystem decided to cut to the chase. The difficulty of subsequent worlds will be raised from now on. Please prepare yourself mentally. Tip: You still aren’t allowed to attack the main characters.
n“Oh.” Shi Sheng answered, somewhat distractedly. ‘I don’t attack them anyways. Much better to let them do it themselves.’
nSystem didn’t feel like saying anything. ‘I can’t handle this Host! Evil people will be punished! Just let her be punished already1!!!’
nDo you wish to enter the next mission?
nInitialising transfer…
n……
nShi Sheng opened her eyes to find herself sitting in a luxurious carriage. ‘Looks like I’m rich this time. Great! Fits with my image!’
nShi Sheng lifted the curtains and took in the ancient-styled cityscape outside, as well as the snow-white unicorn pulling her carriage.
n‘Unicorns! Holy **! A fantasy novel!’
nShi Sheng lowered the curtain and hurriedly assimilated the memories of this body.
nThis was a fantasy novel about a transmigrating OP woman.
nThe protagonist of this story was Qin Langyue. She was an assassin from the 21st century who had tragically died because of her lover’s betrayal.
nShe hadn’t expected to still be alive and transmigrate into the legitimate (yet idiotic) Young Miss of the Qin Clan, whose name was also Qin Langyue.
nBullied by clan members? Betrothal broken by her fiancé? Disdained by the world?
nNone of that mattered!
nEveryone could only stand still and have their faces slapped when the FL’s cheat was active!
nAfter that, she met the male lead Jun Hanlin. The two became a power couple who dominated the Nine Provinces Continent. In the end, they managed to reach the pinnacle of success and become legends.
nThese were the hallmarks of a classic fantasy novel!
nThe former owner of Shi Sheng’s new body was called Shen Yaoguang. She was revered as the Nine Provinces Academy’s star genius and the Shen Clan’s precious pearl.
n‘Sounds exactly like the type of people who FLs target to repeatedly slap their faces!’
nThe two of them had their first encounter during the enrollment for the academy. Shen Yaoguang had ordered her people to clear the way, resulting in the conflict with Qin Langyue.
nNaturally, Qin Lanyue—being the female lead—won. After all, the plot had to devise a method for her to make a name for herself.
nIt was only after Qin Lanyue had learned from her contracted divine beast that Shen Yaoguang possessed the Medicine King’s Furnace that she started to more purposefully challenge Shen Yaoguang.
nQin Langyue coveted the Medicine King’s Furnace, but Shen Yaoguang was no fool; it was a divine object, so why on earth would she ever willingly hand it over to Qin Langyue?
nSince the diplomatic route wouldn’t work, Qin Langyue resorted to more forceful tactics. First, she provoked Shen Yaoguang. Having a temper that was easy to stoke, Shen Yaoguang naturally ended up appearing as the aggressor, while Qin Langyue was depicted as the innocent victim.
nUnder the deliberate suppression of Qin Langyue, Shen Yaoguang’s image of a genius gradually faded into a dandy who feared the strong and bullied the weak.
nQin Langyue slowly backed Shen Yaoguang into a corner until she finally procured the Medicine King’s Furnace. Shen Yaoguang ended up losing all face, which dealt the Shen Clan a fatal blow. They were on the verge of extinction.
nLarge clans were always cold and calculating. When Shen Yaoguang was still useful, they treated her like royalty; however, when she lost the aura of a genius, why would they continue to pamper her? Why, they wished they could step her underfoot some more!
nThe Shen Clan offered her to Bu Jingyun, the Hallmaster of Nine Silences Hall, which was a prominent and influential power in the Nine Provinces Continent, in hopes of seeking his protection.
nWho was Bu Jingyun? Why, only the biggest villain of the entire novel!
nAnd a nut-job who endeavoured to conquer the entire continent.
nYes, Bu Jingyun was a nut-job.
nAnd this loony was partial towards beautiful women.
nThat was why the Shen Clan had gifted Shen Yaoguang to Bu Jingyun. They were aware it was a firepit, yet they’d pushed her in anyway.
nBut did Bu Jingyun truly like beauties? Nope.
nUnless you think that his pleasure at seeing them covered in blood, despairing, helpless, and struggling to live while they were on the precipice of death counted as a ‘like’.
n‘What is this if not a nut-job?’
nWhen Shen Yaoguang was delivered to Nine Silences Hall, Bu Jingyun didn’t group her with the other beauties waiting to be slaughtered; he allowed her to serve as a maid who’d care for his daily needs.
nBut Shen Yaoguang actually fell for Bu Jingyun! During the final confrontation between Bu Jingyun and Qin Langyue, she took a blade for him and died.
nNaturally, Bu Jingyun wasn’t able to escape the fate of being cannon-foddered either.
nAfter that, the male and female leads lived happily ever after together.
nShi Sheng was rendered speechless upon receiving that script. ‘Wtf! This FL’s way too obvious about breaking character!’
nShen Yaoguang had three wishes.
nOne, was to kill off the female lead.
nTwo, was to eradicate the Shen Clan.
nAnd three, was to be together with Bu Jingyun.
nShi Sheng fell silent at the last part. ‘Does she have Stockholm Syndrome or something?! She actually fell for that nut-job Bu Jingyun!’
nShi Sheng compared the memories she’d inherited with the plot and discovered that she’d arrived rather early—the female lead hadn’t even enrolled in the academy yet.
nToday was the start of school for Nine Provinces Continent. Shen Yaoguang was tasked with leading the other Shen Clan members who were of age to sign up.
nShe was still the Shen Clan’s proud genius and treated as their precious pearl. Naturally, she enjoyed lavish treatment, which was apparent from those unicorns.
nOn the Nine Provinces Continent, people cultivated spiritual energy. Naturally, spirit beasts existed too. The unicorn was one example.
nAlthough they were quite rare, it wasn’t as exaggerated as in stories where the female lead was the only one who had one and it was one of her symbols or some such nonsense.
nWhen she arrived at the academy, a group of young Shen Clan members stood next to the carriage and waited for her to come out.
n“Unicorns pulling a carriage belonging to the Shen Clan… Could it be Miss Shen Yaoguang inside?”
n“It should be. Not only is she pretty, she also has talent!”
n“I heard she’s already a third-level Spirit King. That’s the youngest Spirit King in a century! Not even Third Prince can match that!”
n
