The Marquis of Huaiyin Is Ready to Go on a Rampage

(Full text undergoing revisions...) Among the many founding generals of the Dafeng Dynasty was the valiant and extraordinary Marquis of Huaiyin. She had fought in countless battles, her whole being steeped in the blood and fury of war. For more than a decade, she had ranged across the battlefield, skilled at deploying troops and fond of killing with a smile. The powerful Marquis of Huaiyin carried herself with imposing dignity and unmatched beauty. Even surrounded by an aura of menace, she was impossible to pass without stopping to look. Princesses, nobles, emperors, empresses... From every direction, covetous forces reached out their sticky tentacles, greedily licking at her body, pursuing her scent, competing for her attention, and yearning for her love. The Marquis of Huaiyin, the very focus of their struggle, watched the battle for the throne unfold with a calm, untroubled heart... The Marquis of Huaiyin had several secrets: First, she was a woman. Second, this world was a novel, her niece was the heroine, and her mission was to give her niece a happy life. Third, she had been reborn more than once, and in every life she had met a gruesome end. Fourth, this was her final life. Ha! Time to go completely off the rails and crush everyone! -- Qiao Zhiyu, a college student, transmigrates into the tragic novel Spring Blossoms of the Concubine. Since the book is too brutal and negative, it is about to be reported and taken down, and the small world will collapse along with it. Her ultimate mission is to rewrite the plot and preserve the world. She needs to: 1. Make sure the heroine marries into the imperial family, maintaining a stable level of feel-good wish fulfillment. 2. Give the heroine a good family background, so she can rise from being a kept woman to a proper wife and suffer less abuse. Taking all this into account, the System gives her three options: play the heroine's aunt and become a favored concubine, play her uncle and become the head of a gang of outlaws, or play her elder uncle and become a general. If she takes any one of these roles to the extreme, she can stand up for the heroine. In her first life, Qiao Zhiyu, a college student who had never even killed a chicken, decisively chose to become a favored concubine. Then the heroine betrayed her... and she died in palace intrigue. In her second life, Qiao Zhiyu chose to become the leader of a powerful gang and arranged for the heroine to marry the Fourth Prince. But because her gang grew too powerful, she was falsely accused of rebellion. She fought desperately to escape the pursuit, badly wounded, and clung to life as she waited for the heroine to give birth, achieve a happy ending, and let her complete her mission. But the heroine gave birth to a girl and cried out in despair, "Even if it costs me my wretched life, I have to give my husband a son!" Damn it! What a patriarchal mindset! Qiao Zhiyu died with her eyes wide open. In her third life, also her last, Qiao Zhiyu donned armor and became a ruthless, cold-blooded killing machine of a general. The heroine was still the same heroine. Calling her an A Dou who was impossible to help would be giving her too much credit. The best way to put it was: no matter whether a person tries to lead her or a ghost tries to carry her, she just won't move; but give her a hand and she'll sprint off at full speed in the wrong direction. This time, she didn't love the First Prince or the Second Prince, nor any prince or duke. She said she wanted to marry the founding emperor, then live happily ever after with him, sharing a harmonious life and having everything go her way. At last, Qiao Zhiyu saw the truth. This was a ridiculously stupid mission. A trash-tier protagonist had grown out of a trash-tier worldview, forcing her to follow trash-tier logic and play a trash-tier character. With such a massive logical flaw, this world was guaranteed to collapse, and she'd die along with it! Since this was her last life, why bother with the mission? She decided to be everyone's dad, to be the father of them all, and dance all over their heads... -- A little about the male lead, Ying Yundu, whose presence is easy to overlook: Ying Yundu, the Dafeng Dynasty's Second Prince, was born with the pure, compassionate eyes of a Buddhist. At the age of two, he was sent to Mount Yaoguang to practice Buddhism while retaining his hair. At nineteen, he attained enlightenment and descended the mountain. The first person he met was the great general Marquis of Huaiyin, whose hands were stained with countless deaths and whose body was wrapped in a murderous aura. Ying Yundu knew that saving this one person could equal saving ten thousand, so he set out to guide her. He never expected that in trying to save her, he would end up losing himself. He and she were reincarnated together in the Lotus Mirror. If she didn't become a general, then in her second life she would disguise herself as a man and become the leader of a powerful gang. With his help, she committed far fewer killings, and the two fell in love. But in the end, she still died a terrible death. In her third life, she regained her female identity. He thought they could spend their lives together, but she became his father's woman, a favored concubine in the imperial harem. She had no murderous aura at all then, yet died even more horribly than she had in her previous life. After awakening, Ying Yundu didn't guide the Marquis of Huaiyin. Instead, he guided himself. He decided that she was better off remaining the Marquis of Huaiyin she was now. [Content Warnings]: 1. Dumplings should be served piping hot, and women should be big and strong: the heroine is 1.8 meters tall, with shoulders broad enough to race horses on, pectoral muscles that can smash stones, and palms as big as fans. She's thirty-five, and everyone loves her. 2. We want a female daddy, we want a female daddy: the heroine is the head of her clan, head of her household, foremost among the military, and a pillar of the state. She's awe-inspiring, calculating, deep as the sea, and ready to fight anyone who dares defy her. She's good at being a daddy and dedicated to it, whether as a biological father, adoptive father, master, or patriarchal daddy. 3. What a beautiful state of mind: the heroine is constantly going off the rails, sometimes ready to make herself the world's doormat, sometimes ready to slap everyone into the sky with her fan-sized palms. 4. The little matter of everyone's daddy actually being a woman: just when she has made a name for herself and reached the top, her true identity is revealed, spreading her beautiful state of mind to everyone. 5. Girls' love, the secret to women's eternal youth: this story contains girls' love elements. [Important Notes]: 1. Please don't mention this story or its author under other authors' works, and don't mention other stories or authors under this one. Please, this is very important to me. 2. This is currently my only account on JJ. My pen name, Dances with a Wok, comes from wanting to be a chef who's really good at tossing a wok. Tossing a wok means flipping food with a spatula, and a master chef is an expert cook. Put together, it means a chef who's really good at tossing a wok. 3. The classical poems and lyrics in this story are quoted or adapted from the works of ancient poets. [Title Note]: This story is set in a fictional world. "Marquis of Huaiyin" means a noble whose fief is in Huaiyin. It is merely a title and does not allude to or refer to anyone. Theme: Only through hard work and perseverance can you achieve something.
