The Favorite of the Sick and Weak Lady

Blurb 1

An Yu transmigrates into a heartbreaking romance novel she once read. Most of the book is about how the male lead torments the female lead, and what makes it even more infuriating is that, in the end, he marries a general's daughter for political gain. The female lead meets a tragic end, still thinking of him right up until she dies of illness.

When An Yu read it, she had wanted to tear the male lead to pieces with her own hands.

She never expected to end up inside the book herself. As for who she has become, the novel never seemed to mention anyone like her. She must be some random passerby.

She's quite satisfied with that identity. At least she isn't a cannon-fodder character who dies young, or some vicious supporting female character. Being a nobody is great: the leads' love and hate have nothing to do with her, and she can keep her head down until the end.

The only thing is, her predecessor was a bit of a disgrace. She came from a fallen branch of the imperial family. Though she didn't live in luxury, she always had enough to eat and wear. Unfortunately, she was a spendthrift who squandered the family fortune early on, and even her widowed mother, her only family, cut ties with her.

When An Yu arrived, the house was practically bare.

Luckily, she had brought along a randomly rewarding System. All she had to do was complete simple tasks to receive generous random rewards.

Oh, she almost forgot: she also got herself a wife, who was lying in bed right now.

But why did this wife's name happen to be the same as the female lead's? That was rather unsettling.

Still, An Yu had read the novel and knew the female lead had never been married. That was enough to put her mind at ease.

After all, the beauty was not only gorgeous, but rich, too. She had immediately handed An Yu a thousand taels in banknotes. Who could resist that? It was far more than the System gave her. An Yu would gladly marry her, or even wait on her hand and foot.

And the System did not disappoint each day, either. [Host has completed the sowing task. The System randomly rewards you with a bottle of Qi-Replenishing Pills.]

[Host has completed the self-reliance task. The System randomly rewards you with a bottle of Life-Extending Pills.]

[Host has completed the coronation task. The System randomly rewards you with a bottle of Antidote Pills.]

[Host has completed the task of eliminating corrupt officials. The System randomly rewards you with a child.]

Xiao Yu: "..."

Can someone tell her what kind of reward this is? Why is this even a reward?

She doesn't want it...

Song Luoning is the fourth daughter of the Prime Minister's household. She has three older brothers, and her family has doted on her since childhood. But she's sickly, gasping for breath every few steps and coughing every few more. Rumor has it that the eldest Miss Song won't live past twenty. She thought she would simply spend her life that way, until her father suddenly shoved a marriage contract into her hands and had her sent out of the capital overnight.

It would be a lie to say Song Luoning wasn't disappointed when she first met Xiao Yu. This person was clumsy and foolish. Though she might not live to twenty, what girl hadn't dreamed of her future husband? Apart from Xiao Yu's pretty face, Song Luoning would rather not comment on the rest.

The most important thing was that Xiao Yu was a woman.

Fine, a woman it was. Since the other woman was obedient enough, Song Luoning accepted her fate.

But why was her belly getting bigger by the day?
