[Alternate World] [Ancient Setting] [Strong Female Lead] [Strong Female Supporting Characters] [A Mostly Useless System] [Very Few Romance Plotlines] [Male Lead Barely Exists]
Lin Mo had only just managed to "retire" from being an assassin. She was happily lounging by the pool, enjoying the gossip, when a bomb fell from the sky, blasted her upward, and dropped her into the woods of the Great Jing dynasty.
Ding-dong. The System Prosperity is at your service.
A System? She knew this routine. After reading over a dozen novels, she was terrifyingly good at this stuff.
"So, what's my mission?" Lin Mo asked.
"Rewrite history and conquer the male lead, Xiao Li."
Wait. Everyone else gets one mission. Why does she get two? She refused to accept it.
"I'll only rewrite history or conquer him. If you don't like that, just erase me," Lin Mo said.
With the face of a cute little boy, the System frowned hard and thought it over for a long time before finally agreeing.
"Fine. Which mission do you want to do?" Prosperity asked.
"Rewrite history," Lin Mo said.
Conquest? Even a dog wouldn't do it. Lin Mo would never be anyone's dog.
"The mission is now bound. Please complete it diligently, Host," Prosperity said.
"Yeah, yeah, got it," Lin Mo replied dismissively.
"Host, where are we going now? To the border to find the male lead, Xiao Li?" Prosperity asked.
Something was off. The System's reaction wasn't right. It definitely hadn't given up on the conquest mission.
"Where is the male lead?" Lin Mo asked.
"At the border," Prosperity replied.
"Great. We're going to the capital," Lin Mo said.
Prosperity wanted to talk her out of it, but she wasn't afraid of dying, so it had no choice but to let her go.
From then on, Lin Mo changed her name to Qin Jiuxiao, and Prosperity changed its name to Silly Zhu. Together, they charged straight for the capital to take on the princes.
Along the way, she struck up a friendship with Pei Shujin, the legitimate daughter of the General's Estate, and a group of friends.
Silly Zhu watched the conquest mission slip further and further out of reach, jumping up and down in frustration.
