The Marquis's Young Son's Thoughts Were Exposed, and He Turned the Nation's Fate Around

Jiang Xianian closed her eyes and opened them again to find she had become a newborn young lady of the Marquis's residence. Jiang Xianian was delighted. No more being an overworked wage slave! From now on, she could lie flat amid fine clothes and delicious food and live as a happy little layabout! But her gossip System gave her several pieces of bad news: Bad news number one: She's the real daughter in a novel about a real and fake heiress, and she's about to be switched with the fake heiress, whose family will treat her like a slave! Bad news number two: Ten years from now, the Marquis's residence will be confiscated and the family exiled. The fake heiress will take the opportunity to switch back, so as the daughter of a criminal, she'll have to suffer through exile all over again! Bad news number three: Twenty years from now, the northern Jing Kingdom will march south, crushing the entire Xing Kingdom beneath its iron hooves. Everyone in Xing will become a subject of a conquered nation, enslaved, bullied, and even killed at will by the people of Jing. As the descendant of the Marquis of Weiyuan, the man most hated and feared by the people of Jing, she'll fall into their hands, endure torture, die horribly, and then have her corpse violated and fed to dogs! So this was a messed-up romance about a fake heiress and a prince! And she was the real heiress, doomed to be cannon fodder! Jiang Xianian had reached the turning point of her fate, but she was tied up in her swaddling and couldn't move. She let out a piercing mental shriek: [Dad! Mom! Save me! The wet nurse is going to take me away and abuse me! Aaaaaah!] Everyone in the Jiang family froze. What?! My daughter! My little sister! The wet nurse, who had nearly succeeded, was caught on the spot. After Jiang Xianian was placed in her mother's arms, she calmed down and went back to gossiping: [Huh? Switching the babies wasn't the wet nurse's own idea?] * To soothe her little daughter, Madam Jiang took her to a temple to pray for blessings. As soon as Jiang Xianian arrived, she realized something was wrong: [This place sounds so familiar! Sure enough, this is where someone schemes against Big Sis, forcing her to marry that scumbag from the Duke's residence!] [Good heavens, he's even more vicious than I imagined! Even when he beats his half-siblings to death, he covers it up by claiming they died young! No wonder Big Sis is almost beaten to death by her husband in the original story!] [Later, when the Marquis's residence is confiscated, the Duke's family divorces Big Sis on the grounds that she has no children. Then she freezes and starves to death on the street. How awful! I want to find the person who set her up and tear them limb from limb!] Madam Jiang and the eldest Jiang daughter: !!! So while Jiang Xianian was trying to figure out how to keep Big Sis from meeting the scumbag, Madam Jiang had already ordered someone to seize the maid who'd been bribed, intending to take her to the Duke's residence to face charges. Jiang Xianian was astonished again: [Good grief, is this temple a place like a fancy brothel, or an intelligence agency? They offer way too many services!] * The Crown Prince came to visit. Seeing Jiang Xianian, as plump and white as a ball of jade, he couldn't resist picking her up for a cuddle. Jiang Xianian got so excited she peed. Then the Crown Prince heard her babyish voice: [Wow! Is this the Crown Prince who's like the bright moon in the book? He's one of the best in both letters and military arts, tall and handsome... The book's description feels so dry compared to the real thing! It's not even a tenth as good as seeing him in person!] [What a shame that such a wonderful Crown Prince dies suddenly. The male lead only has to resemble him by thirty percent to keep winning the affection of the ministers and the Emperor and ascend the throne. A counterfeit is still a counterfeit. In the end, he leaves Xing in ruins, with people everywhere suffering and the people trapped in misery for decades!] [Ugh... The best way to stop the Marquis's residence from being confiscated and beheaded, and to keep me from being exiled and tortured to death by the people of Jing, is probably to save the life of this bright-moon Crown Prince, let him become Emperor, and have him save us from disaster, right?] The Crown Prince and the Jiang family were shocked: !!! After that, the Crown Prince came to see Jiang Xianian every few days, cuddle the little one, and even made her his sworn younger sister! One day, he finally heard Jiang Xianian lament: [My bright-moon Crown Prince really died so pointlessly? This dogshit plot deliberately paved the way for the male lead, didn't it?!] When Jiang Xianian grew up, she suddenly discovered that the original story had changed beyond recognition. The male lead had gone from a pitiful little boy to a little idiot. The Crown Prince, who was supposed to die suddenly, successfully married, had children, acted as regent, and became Emperor. The Marquis's residence, which was supposed to be confiscated, became a wealthy family with two dukes. The Jing Kingdom had disappeared into the river of history, and its former people had sincerely submitted under benevolent rule. From then on, Xing prospered, and all under heaven was at peace! Jiang Xianian: [Hahaha... Now I can lie flat without a worry! I'm going to travel across the mountains, rivers, and seas!] A pretty little follower: Take me along, Niannian! I'll pay for your foot rubs and shoulder massages! I'm your most loyal servant! The follower's Emperor brother covered his face. "I can't bear to watch..." A few things to know before reading: 1. The plot makes plenty of wild twists and turns, and gets pretty outrageous~ 2. All the settings and other elements serve the plot. This isn't meant to be realistic~ 3. The titles, official positions, honorifics, customs, and habits in the story are a mixture from different dynasties. Don't use them as a reference for history~ 4. Updates are generally at 9 p.m. I'll mention in the blurb if an update comes early or something else happens~ --------Next Novel--------- The new novel following this one, The Fallen Emperor Goes on a Rampage Thanks to the Little Princess's Inner Voice, is now available for pre-order. Please add it to your favorites~ Thank you~ After Xiao Yanyi transmigrated into the body of a princess who died young, she discovered that the little princess's father was the most controversial Emperor in history. After failing at its missions again and again, the System discovered that its last hope was a baby. It gave up in despair and decided to lie flat: Since you won't starve to death because of the palace staff's negligence this time, you'll die when the country falls in a few years anyway. Why not lie flat with me and die comfortably? Xiao Yanyi's eyes lit up. This was a perfect chance to find out whether Emperor Qianli really was a tyrant! I want to hear some gossip! Look, I've finally found my first melon! Gossip means life points! Emperor Zhengping of the Qian Kingdom suddenly heard the inner voice of the daughter he'd been ignoring: [This is exciting! My father's favorite Consort Rou is actually a man in disguise! His body is so supple because he's been taking medicine since childhood and practicing contortion?!] Emperor Zhengping: !!! Now that really is exciting! [So my father already figured out he's a man. Tsk, what an interesting relationship! And he was planning to spare his life? If Father knew that the person he let go was a spy from the Cheng Kingdom, he'd probably be so angry he'd spit up three liters of blood! After all, the Qian Kingdom lost the Battle of Pingyuan because Cheng got its hands on Qian's defense plans, making it easy to win and seize several cities!] Emperor Zhengping: Consort Rou, let's try something truly exciting! How about a game where the jailer tortures the prisoner? One day, news arrived of a great victory at Pingyuan. Xiao Yanyi was dumbfounded. This isn't what I know from history! * [What a shame. The famous general who defended her country, the heroine who fought for Qian until her last breath, is still trapped in the inner palace at this point, forced to take part in boring palace intrigues...] Emperor Zhengping: ?? Quick, tell me who she is! I'm in desperate need of talented generals! Xiao Yanyi reached out to the Noble Consort, asking to be held: [Let me snuggle up to this female general who came out of nowhere! It's such a shame about her, Sister is amazing. If she could've taken charge of the army sooner, Qian wouldn't have fallen so quickly!] Emperor Zhengping picked up the little one. "She's your father's consort, not your sister!" One night, the Noble Consort came to say goodbye to Xiao Yanyi in full armor. Xiao Yanyi was bewildered. Did Father finally stop getting in the way of this beautiful sister's chance to make a name for herself? * Emperor Zhengping brought the little princess to court, causing an uproar among the ministers. Xiao Yanyi added every melon she found to the gossip group: [That man with the goatee talks about loyalty to the Emperor and love of country, but he's secretly colluding with the Xirong Kingdom!] [That old man in the patched-up court uniform has gold bricks hidden in the cracks in his walls!] [And that self-righteous old stick is secretly fooling around with his daughter-in-law!] The ministers turned pale. Emperor Zhengping felt hopeless. Is there a single normal person among all my court officials? Xiao Yanyi kept gossiping: [There is! Lord Wen, whom you demoted to collecting manure, is a diplomatic genius. Send him to visit other countries and he'll persuade them to open their hearts and become good friends with Qian!] [Lord Yu, whom you threw in prison, is excellent at deploying troops and cultivating talented generals!] [General Rong, whose home you just confiscated, is a master of flanking maneuvers and can launch surprise attacks from deep behind enemy lines.] Emperor Zhengping: ... As the first to catch the gossip, Emperor Zhengping immediately reformed his ways. He sent the ministers at court packing with the full package of confiscation and execution, and brought back the officials he'd demoted, imprisoned, and suppressed. Years later, he finally achieved his great ambition: conquer the kingdoms, pacify the four seas, unify the world, and leave his name in history! Xiao Yanyi, now enfeoffed as the Princess Royal Who Guards the Nation, lounged on a beautiful, soft couch, watching beauties dance and eating grapes they fed her. System, we've won by lying flat!
