A Laid-Back Nobleman's Life in the Imperial Examinations

New story, The Eldest Princess Has Too Many Suitors, is currently updating!

For generations, the Xi clan of the southwest has guarded Diannan on behalf of the emperor. The family is full of loyal heroes. By the time of Xi Yunzhen, her father and brothers had died young. With no choice, she put on armor and took command of the troops when the emperor sent her to war.

Xi Yunzhen worked diligently for years, even putting off her own marriage. One day, she learned that she was merely a cannon-fodder character in a book, and promptly gave up trying. Then eighteen imperial edicts forced her back to the capital. Xi Yunzhen thought she was finally going to die.

Instead, the old emperor handed her a child, then kicked the bucket.

Newly appointed Grand Princess Who Guards the Nation, Xi Yunzhen stared at the adorable little child in front of her. Only she knew how, years later, this little thing would strip her of her military power, kill her husband, imprison her in the imperial palace, and finally take her life with a cup of poison.

Xi Yunzhen packed her bags and fled in the dead of night. But then a system for saving the protagonists, or rather, licking their boots, fell from the sky. Complete its missions and she could escape her fated path and save her own skin.

To stay alive, Xi Yunzhen began every kind of desperate rescue, pulling the chosen ones back from their wrong bad endings and onto the proper story route.

Xi Yunzhen: Why me?

System: In the bad endings, they were all once your consorts, and they all died. So you're responsible for them.

Xi Yunzhen: ???

Does she have a few too many terrible romances?

A few notes before reading:

1. This is a fictional setting, so no need to fact-check. The author makes things up as she goes. If you like it, stay; if not, move on.

2. Please don't attack me personally in the comments. Er Pang has a glass heart.
