In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

This is Ruyi's fourth time entering the world of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". The previous three times, she became Ulanara Yixiu, Zhen Yuyin, and An Lingrong respectively. Except for the task of becoming Zhen Yuyin, she did not do much else outside of the tasks. Whether it was the task of Ulanara or the task of An Lingrong, Ruyi was unknowingly influenced by the resentful spirits of the traders and more or less did things outside of the other tasks.

For example, in the first mission, Ulanara Yixiu's wish was clearly to "avenge Rouze, give birth to Honghui, become queen, and then become empress dowager." Logically, she was just a tasker and should not have had any other thoughts, but she was unknowingly influenced by Ulanara Yixiu's distorted thoughts. Not only was she full of malice towards other people outside the transaction, she also continued her previous life's abortion plan towards Yinzhen, the "unfaithful man."

Obviously, these things have nothing to do with her. The use of Nian Shilan, the jealousy of Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and others, and the revenge on the Queen Mother, Yinzhen and others, are all Ulanara's feelings. What do they have to do with Ruyi, the tasker?

Ruyi may hate someone because she knows the plot, but she has no right to take the initiative against someone who has nothing to do with her because of her subjective emotions.

The only result of this can be to bear the cause and effect. Now, in order to cut off these causes and effects, Ruyi needs to take the initiative to do something in this life according to the depth of the power of cause and effect.

There are countless women who died "unjustly" in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Ruyi considered that in this type of palace fighting movies and TV shows, the safest way to gain merit is to cultivate a wise monarch, and the most value-preserving method is to be the wise monarch yourself like in "Knowing Your Destiny". The identity of the emperor in palace fighting dramas is the top of the pyramid, and only by making big decisions can the direction of the entire world be affected.

So Ruyi took the two requirements of cause and effect and merit into consideration, and finally chose the task of the trader named "Nian Shilan" in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

The trader 'Nian Shilan', also known as --- Empress Hua Fei, mainly played the role in the entire "Legend of Zhen Huan" in the first few years before the emperor ascended the throne. She can be considered a figure like a cinnabar mole.

She is gorgeous, has an outstanding family background, and a deep background. The only thing she cares about is the emperor's sincerity. She was almost invincible in the early stage. She was the first stepping stone that the heroine Zhen Huan defeated after officially entering the palace fight. She was commonly known as the "little BOSS". Even the emperor, the queen mother and the queen were tolerant of her, which made her more domineering and offended almost everyone in the harem.

After her backers were liquidated, she completely lost her power and was eventually sent to the cold palace, where she died by hitting her head against the wall. Before her death, she learned the truth about Huan Yi Xiang from her "rival" Zhen Huan, and realized that her life was a joke, as she had been deceived by the person she loved.

After her death, Nian Shilan's personality changed drastically. She no longer obsessed with love affairs and only hoped to protect her family. Ruyi chose Nian Shilan's identity because of her wish.

For Ruyi, the more specific the trader's wishes are, the greater the room for maneuver and the greater the degree of freedom he will have.

It was late at night when Nian Shilan woke up. The whole room was very quiet. Apart from the sound of the candle melting and the sound of her own breathing, there was only the sound of her own breathing. (PS: In the following, Ruyi becomes Nian Shilan, and the original Nian Shilan becomes the trader.)

The trader's memories of her previous life were not complicated. In her twenty-six years of life, most of her memories were occupied by Yinzhen. Shilan has now regained her consciousness and will no longer be affected by the emotions of the original trader due to system reasons. When Shilan now checks these memories again, she no longer has the empathy that Yixiu, An Lingrong and others had in that lifetime.

Now she was only thirteen years old, not yet of age for selection, let alone receiving an imperial decree to become Prince Yong's concubine.

As far as she can remember in this life, the biggest worry for thirteen-year-old Nian Shilan every day was that her mother was too strict and she could not go out to race horses. Her life was passionate, cheerful and bright.

Unlike Nian Shilan after she met Yinzhen, she was full of complexity, jealousy, resentment, joy, hatred, ugliness...

Next year is the year for the draft. Fourteen-year-old Nian Shilan meets her brother Nian Gengyao's "master" Prince Yong Yinzhen at the horse farm. Under the unique tenderness of Prince Yong, a descendant of a noble family, Nian Shilan falls in love.

Despite the dissuasion from her father and elder brother, Nian Shilan still chose Yinzhen regardless of the consequences. She eventually participated in the selection and was bestowed with the title of Prince Yong by the Emperor.

At this moment, Nian Shilan really just wants to laugh. An old man in his thirties coaxing an ignorant young boy who is just beginning to fall in love. If she didn’t know that this is ancient times and this situation is normal, Nian Shilan really wants to call the police.

In her previous life, Nian Shilan fell deeper and deeper into this relationship full of calculations because she trusted Prince Yong too much. Eventually, Prince Yong became the emperor, met his "true love Zhen Huan", and easily withdrew from the relationship. However, Nian Shilan could not understand it, and tried every means to hold on to the "favor" she once had.

I don't understand why there are so many "love-brained" people in a palace fighting drama like "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Entering this world again, Nian Shilan still can't understand what's so good about holding on to this impure "love".

After finishing the memories, it was almost dawn, Nian Shilan yawned and planned to sleep for a while, and think about how to complete the mission in this life after waking up. As for the golden finger in this life, since he knew there was a pit, there was no need to rush to check it.

"Miss, Miss, it's time to get up."

The voice in her ear was soft but persistent. When Nian Shilan was awakened, she was still a little confused. She yawned again and blinked her eyes, trying to see the person's face clearly through her tears.

"Ah, it's Songzhi."

Looking at the familiar hairstyle and the cute face that looked familiar even though it was young, Nian Shilan immediately recognized that the person was Songzhi, her most loyal maidservant who came with the dowry.

"Yes, Miss, it's the servant."

Songzhi didn't realize that what Nian Shilan said was an exclamation of emotion. She just thought that her young lady was still not awake, so she couldn't help but respond again.

With Songzhi's help, Nian Shilan changed her clothes, combed her hair, and had a simple breakfast. Then, accompanied by Songzhi, she went to the main courtyard to pay her respects to her mother, Mrs. Li.

Now Nian Shilan's father Nian Xialing was serving as the second-rank governor of Huguang, and his elder brother Nian Xiyao was serving as the fourth-rank prefect of Guangping, and did not stay in the capital. The only people left in the entire Nian Mansion in the capital were Nian Shilan and his mother Madam Li, his second brother Nian Gengyao and his wife and eldest son, and some of Nian Xialing's concubines and daughters.

Although Nian Gengyao was a bastard's son, his biological mother died early, so he was raised by his stepmother, Madam Li, since childhood. He had the best relationship with his stepmother, Nian Shilan.
