Chapter 1: Chaos s.p.a.ce
It was dark all around and filled with pure silence.
There was a bronze mirror in the solemn darkness releasing a pale blue light.
She was wearing a long red robe with a bright red flower hanging beside her eyebrows, as the vermillion beads on her fingers clacked together.
[h.e.l.lo host, welcome to the Chaos Word. I am the system administrator.]
“Where is this? Am I dead?”
[Un, you’ve been dead for thirty thousand years.] The system’s mechanical cold voice let out a soft sigh, as if showing that this was a bit long.
She slightly knit her brows as she began to search her memory, but she couldn’t remember a single thing.
Although she wasn’t unfamiliar with any plane and people since the ancient times.
Why couldn’t she think of who she was?
What had she experienced?
Why did she die?
[Your memory has long been washed clean by the Great Witch of the Chaos s.p.a.ce. Only a spirit that is completely empty is worthy of pa.s.sing through s.p.a.ce.]
“You know what I’m thinking?” She was stunned, there was actually someone who could hear her thoughts.
[I am the omnipotent mighty system. As the world’s ‘only’ soul that has died thirty thousand years ago and couldn’t reincarnate, host, you currently have two choices. 1. You can turn into dust. 2. You can complete the previous host’s task and gain enough experience points. Once you have enough experience points, you can regain your memory and be reborn.]
A moment of silence……
[The host has accepted the mission, immediately loading the system.]
“When did I say I accepted this mission?” Luo Qing Chen revealed a stunned expression. She didn’t speak at all, alright!
[The host’s thoughts has already accepted this mission. The system has been loaded.]
Another moment of silence……
After a second, the bronze mirror in front of her slowly began to light up and there was a series of fuzzy text that appeared on the mirror. She narrowed her eyes and the text gradually became clearer.
[Luo Qing Chen’s detailed s.p.a.ce travel instruction manual.]
1: Mission grades: C, B, A, S, SS, SSS. Completing different grades of missions will reward different amounts of experience.
2: If the mission is failed or the male lead’s friendship with a female supporting lead reaches 100, the host will immediately turn into dust.
3: The following is Luo Qing Chen’s basic stats.
Experience: 0/10000
Appearance: 70/100
Strength: 40/100
Charm: 70/100
Figure: 70/100
[PS: Other than experience, all the basic values are only for this mission and are not related to other missions.]
4. When the experience bar is full, you can be reborn with all your memories.
After another second, the image on the bronze mirror gradually changed, just like turning to a new page.
[Mission grade: C]
[Experience gained: 100. Reward item: Large novice gift package.]
Female lead: Luo Qing Chen
Male lead: Zhao An Yang
Supporting female lead: Yan Wu Se
Mission content: Return to the day before the previous owner’s death and change the ending to obtain Zhao An Yang’s love.
[Host please choose: Do you accept the previous host’s memories?]
There was another moment of silence…..
[Host, you must speak this time!]
“Whatever you say!” Luo Qing Chen was thinking, could it be it wouldn’t give her the memories if she said no?
Moreover, could her soul be even better?
When thinking of that childish and somewhat cold system saying that she had died for thirty thousand years without reincarnating, she became angry.
What kind of person could be that powerful to not let her reincarnate after thirty thousand years!
After a second, large amounts of memories began to fill her mind. Luo Qing Chen closed her eyes as the wave of memories flooded into her mind, causing her head to split apart. The scenes in front of her eyes kept appearing in front of her like a movie that didn’t stop.
Chapter 2: Deeply pampered by the emperor (Part 1)
The previous host Luo Qing Chen was the only daughter of the Luo Family, so her parents were loved her too much to hit her or scold her.
Being pampered like this, the previous host was overbearing since she was young and not letting anyone go against her. Of course, that included Zhao An Yang who she loved with all her heart.
The previous host was most proud of two things in her life. One was helping Zhao An Yang capture all the cities from north to south, allowing him to become the emperor. The second was becoming his bride.
However, the previous host in the heart of Zhao An Yang was a demon.
When she met Zhao An Yang the first time, he was kneeling in the snow. The previous host’s father told her that Zhao An Yang was blind.
Because his mother was gravely ill, he was kneeling to beg for a doctor.
The previous host helped him find a doctor and returned to their city.
But they never expected the doctor to be intercepted by his big brother Zhao An Ling. Zhao An Yang’s mother had died the next day.
After a few years, there was a coincidence where the previous host and Zhao An Yang were studying at the same school.
Zhao An Yang because of the matter with his mother completely ignored the previous host.
The previous host was very angry and in order to make Zhao An Yang beg for mercy, the previous host had people bully Zhao An Yang over his blindness.
That happened until the ugly supporting female lead Yan Wu Se appeared, helping Zhao An Yang break free. Zhao An Yang was very grateful and decided that if there was a day, he would definitely repay her.
After the previous host found out, she used her power to drive the supporting female lead away, not letting him see her again.
But no one imagined that after years of being secretly nurtured by the previous host and after using many relations, Zhao An Yang would pa.s.s the exam to become an imperial censor when the supporting female lead told him that she wasn’t willing to marry an imperial teacher over sixty years old, asking him for his help.
With the favour of being saved back in school, the kind hearted Zhao An Yang agreed.
The previous host used her life to find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus that could cure his eyes and the Luo Family’s Token to force the male lead to marry her, also agreeing to help him become emperor to avenge his mother.
Zhao An Yang agreed to marry the previous host. After that, the previous host helped Zhao An Yang attack all the cities, but Zhao An Yang stopped in front of the city of the supporting female lead.
Because of the favour he owed the supporting female lead, he couldn’t bear to see her die.
He had his subordinate bring the supporting female lead back and placed her in the shed, choosing a day to send her out of the city. Although he wanted to repay his debt, he didn’t want to make the previous host angry.
Who would have thought that the previous host would still find out. She went to find the supporting female lead after finding out and after accidentally being cut, she lost the child in her stomach.
After that, the original host was no longer the same innocent and arrogant person.
Not long after, she became indifferent and didn’t go out anymore.
Zhao An Yang kept trying to see her, but was blocked outside the door by her each time.
Over time, he also became disheartened.
After a year, Yan Wu Se succeeded with her soft words and became the favourite and pampered consort of the eastern emperor.
But actually it was just an empty t.i.tle of consort.
Only the previous host didn’t know that.
After a few years, the previous host finally pa.s.sed away after being in tears all day.
But she was filled with regret before dying. She had done all she could to keep that boy by her side, she shouldn’t have given up.
This kind of thought brought her mind to the bronze mirror of the Chaos s.p.a.ce, appearing in front of the host Luo Qing Chen.
[Has the host finished with the previous host’s story?]
The system saw that Luo Qing Chen had been sitting there without moving for at least two hours and couldn’t help speaking up.
“Un, pretty much!” Luo Qing Chen said with a faint smile, “Can you tell me the favorability the male lead had for the previous host and the supporting female lead?”
[“Previous host: 50%, supporting female lead: 30%.”]
This made Luo Qing Chen unable to stop her emotional sigh. After all these years, Zhao An Yang still had deep affection for the previous host. The previous host didn’t waste her life collecting the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus to let him see again.
She thought about it. The previous host had always been very strong before.
Whether it was towards him or any other matter, she was also very decisive. She had never shown a weak appearance before.
Yi, being very decisive, why did it seem like her own personality?
But generally speaking, this kind of personality in this plane threw a man far behind and even made him feel that he wasn’t worthy.
After all, men liked girls that they could protect.
Then she just need to play as a gentle girl and slowly enter back into Zhao An Yang’s heart.
But her head still hurt right now. It was not earlier and she was feeling uncomfortable, so she should sleep first.
After all, the previous host had died a death like Lin Dai Yu, so there was no harm in resting up.
[TL Note: Lin Dai Yu is a character known for being melancholy in Dream of a Red Chamber.]
Then again, it wasn’t anything to miss one night in attacking the male lead.
The following is an author note:
All male lead’s body and hearts were clean, one on one with dual punches. Those little fairies that want to see a flawless male lead, please read from the second world~
There are difficulties when it came to attacking a man, some are love at first sight and some have some difficulties!
Everything depends on the host. Everyone please put your experience into the host and male lead and don’t always focus on the previous host.
2017/6/15 Glazed Tile.
Chapter 3: Deeply pampered by the emperor (Part 2)
The morning of the next day, Luo Qing Chen woke up early. She had slept pretty well that night, having no dreams at all.
Her mind turned and she couldn’t help thinking that the original host would die tonight, causing her body to tremble.
Taking a serious breath, she felt that her breathing was very smooth. She shouldn’t die!
[System notification: The original host’s body is very fragile from being ruined by herself over the years. Host please take care!]
Even if you don’t say it, I’ll take care of it alright?
Cleaning oneself up in front of the mirror was the first thing. In her memory, the original host was ugly before she had died, so ugly that she didn’t seem like her.
Luo Qing Chen moved in front of the mirror and looked at herself who had been too lazy to wash yesterday, almost calling out in shock.
What the h.e.l.l was this!?
The dark red rouge was not just painted on her face, but also her eyes. Her skin was yellow and her lips were dark purple.
Could it be she was poisoned?
Luo Qing Chen softly rubbed it and found it was rouge that could be easily wiped off.
She couldn’t help shaking her head, the previous host was too ruthless with herself.
Although she had accidentally lost her child, she couldn’t ruin her face like this!
“Someone, bring a pail of water over.” Luo Qing Chen called out towards the maid outside in a voice that was a bit hoa.r.s.e. It was completely different from the voice in her memory, it was not as clear as water at all.
d.a.m.n, why was her voice like this? G.o.d, does the system have some medicine to help soften the throat?
[Yes.] The system’s mechanical ice cold voice suddenly spoke up.
Give me one.
[Without experience, you can’t exchange for anything.]
Can you say that ahead of time? We have a long relationship, I won’t run away and won’t not return it. My soul has been floating for thirty thousand years waiting to be reborn, right?
The system completely ignored Luo Qing Chen’s thoughts and pretended to be dead.
Fine, this hateful system!
The host really wanted to beat the system over its silent appearance, but she still held it in.
After all, it was with that person’s existence that she could stay in the Chaos s.p.a.ce for thirty thousand years without injury and finally had the chance to be reborn.
With a “gedeng” sound, the door was opened. A dazzling light entered the room and Luo Qing Chen felt dust raising off the ground. She couldn’t help slightly knitting her brows, how longs has it been since this girl has gone out?
Luo Qing Chen took the pail of water from the subordinate and washed her face from forehead to chin at least five times.
Finally the face completely messed up by the previous host was completely washed.
Her makeup technique was not very good, but the previous host did have a good foundation.
There was nothing better than Allure in this world, alright?
[TL Note: It’s a story about the hardship of an ordinary girl making a living and finding love.]
“Un, not bad.” Applying a faint layer of rouge on her face, she really did look like a country destroying beauty!
But the clothes had to be changed, she couldn’t wear such broken clothes!
Opening the cabinet where the previous host kept her clothes, Luo Qing Chen’s chin dropped down.
Who could tell her what kind of ridiculous colours were these?
Dark black, dark red, earth yellow, dark green, and pure black?
These colours that an eighty year old grandmother would wear, how could she steal back a man’s heart wearing these!
No, she had to go out and buy clothes!
For the next two hours, she rummaged through the original host’s room and dug out all the valuable things.
The original host being miserable all these years had a large relation to her father’s death.
When Luo w.a.n.g died, most of the Luo Family’s influence disappeared.
Yan Wu Se had a very high position in the royal harem in these past few years and other than Yan Wu Se, there was no other girls in Zhan An Yang’s royal harem.
But that was very strange, the male lead’s affection for the supporting female lead was only 30%.
Even like this, the male lead would still empty his royal harem which somewhat confused her.
Chapter 4: Deeply pampered by the emperor (Part 3)
Putting the money into her pockets, Luo Qing Chen opened the door a crack.
The vast courtyard was completely empty and no one swept the leaves all over the ground. Other than that maid who brought her the pail of water, there seemed to be no one else here.
“Mas…..Master.” Xiao Qiu saw that her master came out of the room and almost forgot to kneel down.
Luo Qing Chen quickly helped her up and said while shaking her head, “I can’t accept this. This sunlight isn’t bad, how about we go photosynthesize together?”
“Photo…..Photosynthesize?” Xiao Qiu looked at her with a look of confusion.
She slightly turned her head. This phrase seemed to have come from the modern era.
It doesn’t matter, she had to leave the palace and buy some clothes!
The process of leaving the palace was a bit troublesome, but it was a good thing she had a system so it wasn’t that difficult.
After leaving the palace, she headed towards the Brocade St.i.tch District. She had heard that it was the largest clothing market.
Luo Qing Chen went through the Brocade St.i.tch District three times before finally stopping at a snow white dress.
Reaching her hand out, she found a rough hand that also grabbed that dress at the same time as her.
Which blind fellow was this!?
She looked up with narrowed eyes and saw what the girl looked like. Going over her memory, wasn’t this the maid that served Yan Wu Se?
What was her name? Chun Hua? Was it Chun Hua?
[System notification: Tao Hua.]
Oh, that isn’t important. Actually you didn’t need to give me a notification.
[……] The host’s ability to adapt was too strong. In just a bit, she was already gradually becoming overbearing.
“Who are you, actually daring to steal from me?” Tao Hua’s eyes popped out, looking very angry.
Luo Qing Chen’s eyes were calm as she said with a faint smile, “You like it? You don’t seem like someone who is worthy of these clothes.”
“My master is worth of it! Quickly let go if you don’t want to die!” Tao Hua’s eyes were slightly sinister. Those eyes really didn’t match her name.
“Then I’ll let go?” Luo Qing Chen said this, but her hand became tighter.
When the clothes were about to tear, Luo Qing Chen quickly let go.
“Aiyo…..” Tao Hua fell onto her b.u.t.t and rolled back twice.
The people around couldn’t help breaking out in laughter. This Tao Hua was one of Yan Wu Se’s favourite maid, having a bit of position in the palace, so she spoke in a somewhat overbearing manner.
“You, just you wait.” Tao Hua couldn’t hold back her anger as she pointed at Luo Qing Chen. It had to be known, she was Yan Wu Se’s favourite maid.
After saying this, she ran right into the palace.
Luo Qing Chen was too lazy to care about her and said to the boss beside her, “This water green robe.”
“If the miss likes it, I’ll help you wrap it up.” The shopkeeper had also been bullied by Tao Hua before and now that someone had taught her a lesson, their heart was naturally feeling much better.
“No need.” Luo Qing Chen gave a soft laugh and said, “I’ll directly wear it!”
Being dressed in the water green robe with b.u.t.terfly sleeves, it made her seem like she had been reborn.
Luo Qing Chen looked into the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.
This looked like she was trying to steal a man, alright?
When Luo Qing Chen was planning to return to the palace, Tao Hua had suddenly brought a man covered in armour back with her.
“Big brother Niu, this is the one who just bullied me!” Tao Hua had an aggrieved look, like a flower after the rain.
Luo Qing Chen tried very hard to find this person in her memory, she tried extra hard.
But, she had nothing!
There wasn’t this person in her memory at all!
“Daring to bully this master’s people, not looking at how much weight you have.” Da Niu loudly roared out and angrily charged forward to beat this person.
d.a.m.n. System, he wants to fight, do you have a mace for me?
[Yes.] The system calmly replied.
Give me one!
[Host has no experience points, cannot exchange.]
d.a.m.n……
While Luo Qing Chen was waiting to be beaten, a clear as a bell voice rang out, “Daring to bully a weak girl in broad daylight, is this something a big guard can do?”
Chapter 5: Deeply pampered by the emperor (Part 4)
d.a.m.n! So handsome!
This was an elegant handsome face that was like an illusory moon, a flower that one couldn’t touch. It had curved brows like new moons, a pair of deep blue eyes that were as clear as a starry sea, skin that was white and smooth, and a thin pair of lips that was pursed into a faint smile.
[System notification: An unknown hidden quest has appeared, do you accept!]
Is there a benefit to completing it?
Luo Qing Chen had to ask this clearly. She hadn’t even seen the shadow of her male lead and there was a side line that appeared, there was no reason to accept it!
Unless, there was a better return!
[You can obtain a mace!] The system insincerely said.
I won’t do it, I don’t need a mace now! Pei, pei!
[Congratulations on opening the hidden quest: Letting Su Li pa.s.s the civil exams!]
d.a.m.n, why did I say that I agreed! System, are you ill, when did I say anything like that?
[A double negative is a positive.]
d.a.m.n, system, if you bully the host like this, the host will be angry!
Luo Qing Chen wasn’t finished with the system. Su Li was already in front of her and angrily looking at the two in front.
“Ai, so it’s young master Su Li!” Tao Huo looked at him with a smile, as a deep infatuation appeared in her eyes.
Luo Qing Chen felt that this was normal. After all, whether it was in appearance or in name, wasn’t he a thousand times better than your Da Niu?
“Quickly leave, otherwise you want to be beaten together?” Da Niu saw Tao Hua lovingly looked at Su Li and his voice was filled with even more rage.
“Acting like a boss in front of the people of the court, do you think the emperor won’t punish you for your crimes?” Su Li calmly replied.
As expected, it had some effect on Da Niu.
After all, he was currently wearing the uniform of a guard. He only wanted to help Tao Hua scare someone.
He never thought that he would attract all these onlookers. If he was really reported, he wouldn’t be able to keep his little life.
The surrounding whispers gradually became louder as they kept talking about Da Niu and Tao Hua!
“Ai, look at the government’s people bullying the citizens!”
“Don’t they? Also that maid, she acts all arrogantly when coming here to buy things, she really is disgusting.”
“Don’t, you have to speak softer. I’ve heard that her master is the beloved of the harem, the emperor hasn’t taken another consort over these years all because of her.”
“It’s like that! That master of hers must be a nation collapsing beauty!”
“Shh, that’s not true. I’ve heard that it’s an ugly girl, but she must have used seduction to win the emperor’s heart.”
Aiya, without knowing why, Luo Qing Chen was feeling flattered right now.
Why did she find all the gossip they were whispering so pleasant to the ear.
“Humph, Tao Hua, we’re leaving!” Da Niu seemed unable to hold on and pulled Tao Hua beside him away.
Tao Hua looked at Luo Qing Chen with poisonous eyes, as if her eyeb.a.l.l.s were about to pop out.
But what could she do? It would be a real mess if they didn’t leave soon!
“You, just you wait!” Tao Hua angrily stomped down as she spoke while looking at Luo Qing Chen.
“I say girl, don’t jump back. You’ve already said this!” Luo Qing Chen gave a shrug, speaking while revealing a taunting smile.
[System notification: Tao Hua has turned dark.]
d.a.m.n, what kind of gla.s.s heart was this! She turned dark just like this? What is the standard for turning dark, would they turn dark just with anything casual?
“Miss, are you alright? Your face doesn’t look too good.” After Tao Hua and Da Niu had gone far away, Su Li turned around and asked this concerned question to the stunned Luo Qing Chen.
“I’m, I’m fine.” Luo Qing Chen said with a faint smile, “Young master Su, many thanks for your help today. I’ll help return the favour another day.”
“Miss’ words are too heavy, this one does not have any wishes.” Su Li was stunned and then shook his head.
System, system, when are the civil exams? I still have to prepare him to pa.s.s and review the question, he can’t just casually pa.s.s the exam, right!
[Tomorrow.] The system’s cold voice rang out.
G.o.d d.a.m.n it! System, this is on purpose isn’t it!
