Failure Means Death? The Entire Court Is Helping, So What's There to Fear?

After being reincarnated into the Ning Kingdom and spending fifteen whole years there, Zhu Jinxiao finally got her System. But the System often issued bizarre timed missions. If she failed to complete one before the deadline, it would erase her. Looking at the latest mission the System had issued, Zhu Jinxiao figured that whether she stuck her neck out or pulled it back, she was doomed either way. So she decisively dragged her father to the imperial palace to meet the emperor, laid everything on the table, and asked for his help. She had thought that revealing the truth would get her killed. To her surprise, the emperor turned out to be a fellow countryman. He immediately waved a hand, not only clearing the way for her throughout the kingdom but also ordering his ministers to do everything they could to help her complete her missions. The entire court was utterly baffled, and could only think that the emperor had gone mad. The ministers protested, “Your Majesty, please think this through. We are all high-ranking officials of the court. How can we let the princess command us as she pleases?” Zhu Jinxiao simply flung out the list of rewards from the System: “Complete the missions and you’ll receive countless sacks of fine rice, submarines for naval warfare, fighter jets, tanks, medical pods…” The ministers’ attitudes changed completely in an instant. “From now on, we will obey the princess’s commands and help her complete her missions. If the princess says east, we will never go west.” They admitted that they had been speaking far too loudly before. Forget merely cooperating with Zhu Jinxiao: even if she asked them to be her grandsons, they wouldn’t hesitate. Several years later, armed with the era-defying high technology rewarded by the System, the Ning Kingdom crushed its enemies with overwhelming superiority, sweeping across the four corners of the world and striking fear throughout the land. The emperor personally draped the imperial robe over Zhu Jinxiao’s shoulders, his face full of relief. “I’ve finally waited for you. Thank goodness I never gave up.” Zhu Jinxiao: “…” She had let her guard down. She’d escaped being erased by the System, only to find that the emperor had been waiting for her all along!
