As a player in an endless-cycle game, she really liked this world without a System.
Even though the original owner had drowned herself, was confined to a wheelchair, and had lost her parents after they were executed for treason.
Even though officials died today and the emperor died tomorrow, and she was still the one who had to solve the cases.
But as long as there was no System, she could live an ordinary life.
Ning Mingqiu: The panel is gray. Does that mean I successfully escaped the System?
System: :)
Ning Mingqiu: ...
Hua Youzi: "She treats me differently."
Dahuang wagged his tail and looked at his master. Ning Mingqiu still had the same cold expression.
Dahuang: "She treats everyone the same."
Hua Youzi: "What would an animal like you know about this?!"
Dahuang: *bares teeth*
1. A highly intelligent, cold (?), female lead vs. an infatuated, ruthless (?), male lead
2. Mystery-solving, plus a battle of wits with several transmigrators who were manipulated by the System
Theme: Living in peace and contentment is the Way
It's so satisfying! I was still waiting for the day when I could finish writing daily updates, but instead, I got the ending first. What does the statement "The administrator will completely forget that he is a dog" mean? I think Ning Mingqiu wanted to express the idea that "the dragon slayer will eventually become the dragon."
Lin Huaichuan's prophecy even came true ahead of his own death. But how could he survive? In his contemplation, he realized that this was exactly the same thing Hua Youzi wanted to do... Even if the outcome was predicted, it couldn't be changed. Looking back on Ning Mingqiu's actions, I admire her even more.
It's quite impressive that he could deduce the general method of prediction. How did Lin Huaichuan come up with the idea of predicting Zhang Chu's fate? If it were me, I might have predicted the emperor directly. Was it because I saw Zhang Chu's rebellion during the process of predicting the emperor's fate? What... What happened so suddenly? [Frightened]
I find Hua Youzi's change of mindset very interesting. It is precisely because he treats this world as real that he feels regret for "being able to save Zhang Chu". And when he wants to make up for his regret, it all turns into a game.
How did Lin Huaichuan die? Was it the Second Prince who did it? He actually had plans to become the emperor of the Jiang Kingdom.
Wow, this is so smooth! It connects all the previous suspense points in one go. I need to savor it carefully 😋 Ruan Yichen's description gave me the feeling that she was playing a game. The several instances of Changxinghou's rebellion mentioned earlier from Ning Mingqiu's perspective only revealed a small part of the truth each time, leaving the full picture a heavy subject.
Are players forced to participate in games? Why are players needed to participate in these games? The novels I've read before explained it from the player's perspective as entering the game after death and receiving corresponding rewards, but what is the purpose of the game itself?
The Emperor was actually an imposter. But the idea of using Hua Youzi to instigate a rebellion seems too hasty. If it were the Third Prince himself, he would know that this was unlikely. Perhaps, as Ning Mingqiu said, it wasn't him at all, but a character who had just entered this world. You'll have to figure out the game rules yourself.
Hua Youzi has a mysterious trust in Ning Mingqiu and holds benevolent speculations about what she does. I was a little surprised when Ning Mingqiu frankly talked about her situation. Was it because Hua Youzi was so straightforward? 🤣
The summary of this chapter perfectly captures my feelings: "Wow!" That's real speed! They acted immediately after being exposed, forcing us into a corner. I tried the Hua Youzi (a famous Chinese singer) pose of sitting with her legs crossed while suspended in mid-air, but I couldn't even hold it for 30 seconds 😬
