Chapter 1
"Pei Changying, if...if I say...that I cannot become the Empress, will I really die?"
A trembling voice;
Words on the verge of death;
Permeated this cold, inner palace.
The lofty Emperor looked down at her, his eyes filled with scorn: "How could a vile woman with blood-stained hands like you become my Empress? Only Rourou is worthy to be the Mother of All Under Heaven. If you wish to die, then go ahead and die!"
Ha ha!
Seven years of heart-pounding anxiety!
Seven years of painstaking conquest, only to be denied even the promised succession at the end?
"I didn't deceive you, I will really die..."
"Pei Changying, I want to go home, I beg you to believe me..."In Gu Sang's despairing eyes, that towering figure gradually vanished until he was gone.
He was the Former Emperor's most unloved son, with no powerful family or ancestry.
It was her! It was her scheming and plotting that had put him on the throne, it was her who had risked her life twice to save him on the battlefield!
But in the end, he still succumbed to his infatuation with his legitimate sister!
She wasn't heartbroken! Really!
From beginning to end, Gu Sang had never liked this man! She was well aware that ancient men only loved themselves. She never expected him to love her, only to gain the succession.
But she never imagined...
That she could never return to the modern era, never see her beloved grandmother who had been waiting for her to come home.
At that moment!
An icy electronic voice resounded in her mind: "Host's conquest of Pei Changying has failed! Conquest mission terminated! System will exterminate the Host's soul in ten seconds. Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
"Modern era...Grandma...I'm sorry, I can't go back..."
"Grandma, I miss you so much..."
Gu Sang closed her eyes in anguish as the electronic voice in her mind announced her death sentence.
"Three!" Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
"Two!"
"One!"
"Exterminate..."
A surge of electricity instantly struck Gu Sang, the excruciating pain causing her to lose consciousness.
The battered woman collapsed on the icy floor, her fallen figure casting a desolate shadow in the vast palace, with horrified cries echoing in her ears.
"Grandma never stopped loving you, in my heart, you are my one and only granddaughter."
"My dear Sang Sang, since I won't be around to look after you anymore, I've written my will. When you return, transfer the ownership of this apartment to your name..."
A will!
Those two words were like a thunderbolt on a clear day, leaving Gu Sang's mind completely blank.
She dazedly raised her hand.
And touched her wet cheeks.
"Why, what happened?!"
"Why!!" Gu Sang fell to her knees, a sense of despair enveloping her from all sides.
Back in high school, afraid she couldn't provide the best education and life, her grandmother had sent her to live with her wealthy biological parents who had found them.
But after returning to that home,
She realized they already had a daughter.
She was ignored, compared, and walked on eggshells, until the moment she got into university and finally dared to leave that home which wasn't hers, rushing back to find her grandmother.
But on the way, she died in an accident and became bound to the Conquest System.
The System told her that if she successfully conquered Pei Changying, she could return to the modern era...
She had returned, but her grandmother was gone!
"Congratulations Host, due to special circumstances, the System is now changing Host Gu Sang's mission from conquering Pei Changying to livestreaming modern life to ancient people."
"Do you accept this mission?"
The mechanical voice suddenly rang out.
"Special circumstances..."
"System, did you cause all of this? Why didn't I die, I should have died in that palace struggle, exterminated by you!"
"I'm begging you, give Grandma back to me, let me die, please, don't torture me like this..."
Gu Sang wept hysterically, nearly suffocating from her breakdown.
But the next second.
The System's cold, mechanical response left Gu Sang petrified in place! Her heart skipped a beat!
It said: "You failed your conquest mission, you were supposed to die by the System's extermination."
"It was your Grandmother who found me, willing to exchange her lifetime of good deeds and even her life, so that you could return to the modern era."
"Host, the reason you didn't die is because your Grandmother used her virtues earned in this life to substitute your life for hers."
"As long as the Host completes the System's mission of livestreaming the modern prosperous era to ancient people, changing the miserable fate of ancient women, you will earn virtue and be able to redeem your Grandmother's life."
