Happiness System
Chapter 3: The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Scholar-President (2)
"00, pay attention to your surroundings! Remember to alert me if there is any danger."
After turning off the controller, Qin Yunxi did not try to tinker with the switching system. The most urgent task was to take care of his health.
Although she was extremely tired, she still couldn't fall asleep after closing her eyes.
Qin Yunxi had no choice but to sort out the plot he had received.
The main plot is: The Tang Dynasty, at this time the fifth emperor's aging sons have grown up and are competing for the sixth throne.
The heroine is the daughter of a fourth-rank official in Beijing, and the hero is the sixth prince of the current dynasty.
In the capital city filled with princes, high-ranking officials and nobles, the fourth-rank official of the heroine Lin Huanhuan's family is not even ranked high.
It is said that she and the Sixth Prince would not have any intersection, but there is no story without bloodshed!
Lin Huanhuan's father is not well-known, but her mother's family is a big merchant who is as famous as the imperial merchants!
In a word, her family is rich! Her maternal grandparents are even richer!
The bloody beginning of the story is that on the way to visit her maternal grandfather's house to celebrate his birthday, Lin Huanhuan accidentally saved the male protagonist, the Sixth Prince, who was being plotted against by his brother.
It was love at first sight for the two of them!
The male and female protagonists have a natural attraction to each other. The man is talented and the woman is beautiful. Their appearance alone makes them look like a match made in heaven. It is only a matter of time before they meet and fall in love.
After the male protagonist was rescued, it happened that they were going to the same destination, so he changed his identity and followed the female protagonist.
After spending some time together, the magnetic attraction grew stronger and stronger, and they eventually confessed their true identities and expressed their love to each other.
Afterwards, with the help of the heroine and her maternal family, the hero perfectly completed the task assigned by the emperor.
After returning to the capital, the emperor was so pleased with the mission completed so beautifully that he immediately expressed his intention to reward the hero.
The male protagonist said that he did not need any reward, but if the emperor must give a reward, he had fallen in love with a good girl and asked his father to grant them a marriage.
In theory, no matter how unfavored the male protagonist is or how humble his mother's family is, the female protagonist, as the daughter of a fourth-rank official, is not qualified to be the prince's principal wife.
But the heroine has another hidden identity: the niece of Marquis Dingbei, who is favored by the emperor!
Her father and Marquis Dingbei were brothers from the same father! It was just that her father was a bastard, and was separated after the old Marquis Dingbei passed away!
But the relationship between the brothers is still good.
The emperor agreed after a brief consideration. It was not appropriate for the daughter of the Lin family to marry his son, but it was rare for his son to take the initiative to ask for it, so he decided to grant his wish!
The two successfully combined.
The heroine's maternal family is financially capable, and her paternal family makes up for the weakness of the hero's maternal family. In addition, the hero is talented and ambitious, and he has squeezed his way into the inner circle from the outer circle of competition for the throne.
The two of them went through numerous difficulties together and opened up layers of cheats. In the end, the male protagonist reached the top and won the throne, and the female protagonist also became the queen.
Behind every successful man there is a woman silently supporting him, and vice versa.
As the man behind a successful woman, although both are heroes saving "beauty", the second male lead and the male lead have obviously different fates and treatments.
The second male lead is a poor scholar who goes to Beijing to take an imperial examination. On the way, an unscrupulous car team suddenly raises the fare. He is very unlucky and his wallet is stolen, so he cannot afford the increased fare.
The scholars in the same field are all between familiarity and unfamiliarity, but they all have one thing in common: they are poor!
No one was willing to help and no one was able to help, so the second male lead was driven off the carriage and left the team.
As if it weren't raining, the unlucky male second encountered a heavy rain in a place where there was no village or shop nearby. At the critical moment, he chose to get wet in the rain to protect his few luggage and supplies.
The second male lead walked for two days, traveling during the day and finding a dilapidated temple or secretly "staying overnight" under someone else's eaves at night. He ate the dry food and hard biscuits he prepared at home and the wild fruits he picked on the way.
After a long period of deprivation, the second male lead couldn't bear the rain and he became so sick that he fainted on the road.
They were already very close to Kyoto at this time. The heroine picked up the second male lead near her farm. Seeing that he was dressed like a scholar, she thought of making a good friend of him. After all, she was not short of that little money.
The second male lead certainly didn't get the same treatment as the male lead. The female lead never appeared from beginning to end, and only saw her "benefactor" by chance when she was leaving.
With the money funded by the heroine, he rushed to Kyoto in time to take the imperial examination and passed it.
Because he was the third place in the imperial examination chosen by the emperor, he was qualified to stay in Beijing. Although he encountered many hardships here, his career advancement was also fast.
Afterwards, the old emperor was almost dying, and the struggle for imperial power reached a white-hot stage.
By chance, the second male lead meets the female lead and learns that the female lead is the sixth prince's consort.
Of course the heroine also recognized him.
Afterwards, the heroine went to the second male lead's house with a thank-you letter written by him, which said, "As long as it does not go against the will of heaven, I am willing to be your servant to repay your kindness," and asked him to do things for them.
The second male lead kept his promise and fought through obstacles for the female lead and her husband, killing ghosts and demons, and even paid with his own life in the end.
The second male lead has a wife who died young and whose name never appears.
Unfortunately, the original owner is the wife of this unlucky second male lead!
The original owner was born in a farming family that favored boys over girls, but fortunately she had a grandmother who loved her very much.
My grandmother was originally a slave in a wealthy family and was the exclusive embroiderer for the eldest daughter.
Because the embroidery work was excellent and the things she made were very much to Miss Di's taste, when she got married she brought her grandmother to her husband's house.
Unfortunately, the son-in-law is a scoundrel who only takes advantage of the girls around him. After only two years of marriage, he has already touched any girl who is slightly pretty around the eldest daughter.
My grandmother had always been a hidden figure, and after learning about her son-in-law's style, she hid even more, but she was still seen because she was quite pretty.
At this time, Miss Di's psychology had become twisted to the point of being abnormal. She was unwilling to listen to anyone and believed that it was the embroiderer who seduced her husband. She acted in an extreme way out of jealousy.
My grandmother's face was scratched and her appearance was disfigured, so she was sold to a farmer at a low price.
The original owner's family was extremely poor, and his grandfather and brother had spent all their savings on marrying wives.
After the elder brother got married, the couple teamed up to threaten their parents to separate their lazy younger brother, who was the grandfather of the original owner, from their parents.
The lazy, second-rate grandfather thought he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life, but unexpectedly, a pie fell from the sky!
Although my grandmother's appearance was ruined, how could I not want such a cheap and almost free wife? My family was not qualified to choose one given her conditions!
Although my grandmother had an unfavorable appearance, she still had a good figure.
After they got married, they had three sons and one daughter. The second-rate grandfather continued to "live around", while the grandmother supported the family with her embroidery skills.
After her children grew up and got married, my grandmother became half blind.
Not long after, my grandfather fell and died after drinking.
After the funeral, the grandmother quickly divided the family property. None of her three sons followed her. They used their savings to build a small house for themselves to live in.
The original owner's father was the second son. He married Yuan and had two sons and four daughters.
The original owner was the fifth of four daughters, with an older brother and three older sisters.
My parents favored boys over girls and thought one son was too few. They wanted to have more sons so that the brothers could support each other. But they ended up giving birth to girls one after another.
One endured it, and the other two endured it too, thinking that marrying off their two daughters would be just enough to give their son some dowry money.
When she gave birth to her third daughter, she wanted to drown herself. However, Yuan's mother came and asked a fortune teller who said that the third daughter would be lucky enough to bring prosperity to the family.
When it came to the original owner, as soon as the midwife said it was a girl, Yuan immediately shouted and threatened to drown the child.
At this time, the original owner smiled at the midwife, and the midwife couldn't bear it and took the original owner to her grandmother.
When the grandmother saw that the little guy looked somewhat like herself, she couldn't bear to commit a sin and kept him.
I don’t know what the grandmother’s mentality was. Not only did she teach the original owner the skills, she also kept telling her about the wealth of the past master’s family. In addition to learning to read, she also taught the original owner etiquette and rules.
The original owner was also a smart kid. She could sit still at a young age, and her embroidery skills were even better than her master's.
She was spoiled, and because she was literate and knew the rules, she was very arrogant. When she was flattered by the villagers who knew nothing, she felt that no one in the surrounding area was worthy of her, and that such a good person as herself deserved to marry into a wealthy family and become a lady.
The grandmother regretted raising her granddaughter like this.
She was just a servant trapped in the backyard at first, and even with her limited knowledge, she knew very well that the gap between her granddaughter and the ladies in the city was more than just family background.
Such knowledge and rules can only be understood by the short-sighted neighbors.
Unfortunately, the original owner's temper had already been formed, and her grandmother's health had already deteriorated greatly. In addition, she accidentally heard her son and daughter-in-law discussing that after she died, they would send their granddaughter to a wealthy family as a concubine...
Fortunately, when my grandmother adopted the original owner, she reported it to the clan and registered the original owner under the name of her brother from her mother's side.
My grandmother's original surname was also Qin. When she was young, her hometown suffered a disaster and her family fled to another place. In the end, only her parents, brother and she were left. There was really no other way, so her parents sold her in order to give her a chance of survival.
She still remembered that she only sold her body for a few kilograms of coarse grains, and her brother was already seriously ill and dying.
To be honest, the affected area was very large, and human life was cheaper than even a dog's. The chances of her brother's family surviving were not high.
So she kept the original owner out of selfish desire to leave a bloodline for her mother's family.
The advantage of this is that the original owner does not need to go through her parents to get married, and her grandmother can make all the decisions.
On her deathbed, my grandmother decisively married the original owner to a poor scholar from the neighboring village.
The original owner was so proud that she was unwilling to do so. Since she was a child, everyone said that she was destined to marry a young lady in the city. Marrying a poor scholar who had no fame and could not even eat? It would make people laugh!
Her grandmother directly told her to choose between marrying a poor scholar or being sold to a dirty place by her biological parents.
The original owner knew that she did not grow up with them, and that the couple had no feelings for her at all, so it was natural for them to do such a thing. So she married the poor scholar reluctantly.
Because she was reluctant in her heart, she was a bit pretentious after the marriage. In addition, her grandmother who loved her passed away soon after. The original owner was depressed and fell ill every few days, and soon spent all her savings.
Relying on the scholar's care and the sporadic supply of medicine he obtained in exchange for copying books, the original owner only lasted a year before dying.
There are only two months left before the original owner is killed!
Qin Yunxi: “…” I am also speechless!
"00, come out!"
"Ding, host, 00 is at your service!" The little cloud floated in front of her.
"What's the mission?"
"Ding, host, your mission is to live in place of the original owner!"
"So simple?" There really is no trap? It's not scientific at all!
"Oh, that's right! It's super easy, host! Of course, the longer you live, the higher the points you get! If you fulfill the original owner's wish, the points will be even higher!"
"What the hell are points?"
"Ding, host, points are a good thing. With points, you can buy things on credit. Points are also related to the happiness of the original owner when he returns to the real world..."
Qin Yunxi brought up the controller panel with suspicion and took a closer look to confirm that there was no such thing as credit purchase: "Where is the credit purchase? Is there a hidden place?"
"Because the host has no points at the moment, the controller will not have the credit and shopping functions for the time being. Once the host completes the task and gets the points, the controller will be updated and the credit and shopping functions will be available!"
“……”I believe your lies!
"Does this mission only require me to stay alive in place of the original owner, or will all future missions be the same?"
"Ding, host, the tasks of the [Good Life System] are super simple. Our task targets are all people who died young. It's enough as long as they live longer than the original owner. The longer they live, the more points they get. Of course, if the host is willing to fulfill their wishes, they will get even more points!" Little Cloud instantly turned into a money-loving person with starry eyes.
"OK, got it! I'm tired, you can leave now!"
"Okay, that's it. The host can summon 00 anytime if anything happens!" Little Cloud saw her close her eyes and fall asleep, so he disappeared.
