As an emperor who rose early and retired late, diligently attending to state affairs, Si Chen knew she would eventually work herself to death over her documents.
When Transmigrate into a Book System 097 came to collect her, she raised a brow, her majesty striking even without anger. “Infinite Celestial, have you come to guide me to the palace of immortals?”
097: “...No.” (It hesitated, as if it had something to say.)
097: “As a newly selected Host, you will enter three different worlds in character and complete your trials.”
“Oh? What sort of worlds?”
“A beautiful princess wantonly abused in a Haitang world, a good-for-nothing illegitimate young master disguised as a man in a Qidian world, and a substitute for the master's white moonlight in a Jinjiang world.”
Si Chen: I know all the words, but why can't I understand them put together?
“Host, don't be afraid. I spent everything I had to sign you up for an acting crash course to help you complete your missions.”
But it seemed she hadn't unlocked the acting skill tree. Instead, the Host's imperial bearing kept blinding 097.
World One: The princess has no status, power, or influence, but possesses breathtaking beauty, attracting countless predators and tormentors. All kinds of steamy scenarios are triggered along the way: the merciful Buddhist son, the elegant prince, the sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside top scholar, the cold and scheming eunuch... In the end, the princess dies on the bed of an enemy prince, consumed by deep resentment.
Si Chen furrows her brow and brings her blade down, severing the head of the man who dared to assault her.
She pretends to be devoted as she helps the top scholar rise to success, then watches coldly as he falls hard.
She takes the tragic young eunuch under her wing. Later, he willingly dons a wedding dress, disguises himself as the heroine, and travels to the desert to marry into a foreign court.
Si Chen leans against the imperial throne, her colorful skirt draped lazily, her face noble. She holds Xuan paper in her left hand and a vermilion brush in her right. Those below stand trembling, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Just as she is about to restore the glory of a woman-ruled realm in this world where men hold power, 097 speaks in a quiver.
“Host, we have to go to the next world.”
World Two: In the Qidian world, a good-for-nothing illegitimate young master disguises himself as a man. His father doesn't love him, his mother doesn't care for him, and everyone bullies him. He gives up his heart to save his twin brother's life, only to be sold into a male brothel by him when they grow up...
Si Chen: A twin brother? Hah. Feed his heart to the puppy I raised.
Puppy (wolf king): Woof, woof!
World Three: In the Jinjiang world, the master's substitute for his white moonlight is showered with affection that is all an illusion. When the white moonlight returns, she is branded a temptress who bewitched everyone, stripped of her immortal bones to heal the white moonlight, and ultimately slain without mercy by her master after falling into the demonic path.
Si Chen gives a disdainful look, a smile at the corner of her lips, then turns and clutches her heart like Xi Shi:
“I am frail and unsuited to cultivating immortality. I beg you, Master, to let me return to the mortal world and quietly grow old.”
Her ethereal, heartless master frowns sternly:
“These are my immortal bones. Take them and forge a god. Do not speak of abandoning the Way and returning to the mortal world again.”
