An Yao spent a hundred years working for the Quick Transmigration Bureau, traveling through more than 130 worlds. She cleared them all, from zombie-ridden apocalypses and palace power struggles to interstellar wars. After ten years of retirement, she thought she would spend the rest of her life drinking tea and playing with cats in her retirement space, until a notice landed in her lap: she was 153 experience points short, and her retirement privileges were revoked.
Either go back and earn the points, or leave with nothing.
An Yao sneered. “So this is how you force me into overtime.”
She reconnected with her System and entered the S-rank world of Empresses in the Palace, taking over the body of Borjigit An Yao, the legitimate daughter of a Mongolian prince from Khorchin, a pawn in the Manchu-Mongol marriage alliance, and a doomed extra poisoned to death three months after entering the palace.
The original owner lived for three months. An Yao thought, “Three months? In my last world, I lived for most of a lifetime.”
The Empress planted spies to watch her, while Hua Fei openly tried to recruit her. An Yao sided with neither. She refused to kneel at the selection ceremony and only gave half a bow at greetings. Everyone in the palace thought this Mongolian consort was a troublemaker.
Good. Let them remember her. That would make her harder to get rid of.
In the cassava flour case, she did not help Zhen Huan clear her name, but presented the Mongolian medical compendium and laid out the facts. When Princess Wenyi was poisoned, she stirred up the game with “sleep talk.” As the Nian family fell and Hua Fei faced death, An Yao offered her a single piece of advice: “Death is the cheapest punishment. Living is the costliest revenge.”
Hua Fei lived.
She changed the greatest regret in the original story. But as she kept changing things, she realized that the biggest bug in this world was not her. It was Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan was not a transmigrator. She was an “awakened character” brought forth by the world itself.
The world line was collapsing, her experience points were rising, and An Yao stood on the threshold of becoming Empress Dowager.
She turned and walked away.
“In the next world, I’ll choose where I want to go.”
