The Princess Extends Her Life with the Divorce System

A sickly body, a goofy soul, a System-bound office worker princess x a poker-faced war god, a devoted childhood friend, a taciturn general with a vivid imagination

(Chasing-his-wife-to-the-crematorium + System love-triangle drama, ancient war god vs. modern goofball)

1. After pulling an all-nighter at work, young nurse Li Wushuang dies suddenly and transmigrates. The good news is that she becomes Pei Jinqing, the little princess cherished by the old emperor.

Yes! That's right! The princess who stands second only to one and above all others, and who nearly drove the crown prince to his death and became the crown princess.

The bad news is that the princess was born frail and sickly, and before she even turned twenty, she'd already paid the King of Hell three visits.

Just as Li Wushuang was fretting over how to turn things around and save herself, a line of subtitles appeared above her head.

[Ding! Host has automatically been bound to the Divorce System. Initial life points: 2. Complete one divorce mission to gain one life point. You must earn 10 points to be reborn.]

Li Wushuang: What kind of lousy System is this? She's never even held a man's hand, and now she's supposed to marry and divorce eight times?

To keep his precious daughter alive, the old emperor spends all day finding potential husbands for her.

First husband: The handsome son of the prime minister, a gentleman in public and a sleazebag in private. On their wedding night, he even drugged the princess with a potent aphrodisiac!

Li Wushuang: Get lost, you disgusting creep! Divorce!

[Ding! Host has completed the first divorce mission. Life points +1. Newbie gift awarded: "Creep-Spotting Eyes" skill.]

Second husband: The new top scholar. The old emperor thinks: A poor family's child has made good. Surely I won't get it wrong this time.

With her new skill, Li Wushuang immediately sees that the new top scholar is a parasite who lives off his wife.

Before the wedding: Your Highness, whatever you ask me to do, I will do. I would gladly give my life for you.

First year of marriage: I have a younger brother who sells pork back in our village. He's practically a member of the imperial family now, so please grant him a respectable official post, Princess.

Second year of marriage: I have a younger sister. Our family was poor, so we sold her to the village bully, a wealthy landowner. His second, third, fourth, and fifth wives are forcing her to her death. She's your sister-in-law, after all, so please buy her freedom, Princess.

Third year of marriage: I have a...

Li Wushuang kicks him away: Am I supposed to be doing things for you, or are you supposed to be doing things for me? Did I owe your whole family a debt in my past life? Get lost, all of you! Divorce!

[Ding! Host has completed another divorce mission. Life points +1. Pregnancy Prevention skill awarded. You may now fully enjoy married life.]

Third husband: The third son of the Xie family, a distinguished military clan, and the childhood friend who has secretly loved Pei Jinqing, a general.

Li Wushuang: This husband looks much better. No, he's absolutely gorgeous! I adore him! Those broad shoulders, those firm pecs, those smooth muscle lines... He's the man of my dreams! I want to spend my whole life with him!

Just then, the System above her head lets out a piercing alarm...

[Bee-beep-beep! Divorce mission overdue. All Host skills will be revoked, and life points will decrease by one! Complete the mission immediately, or you will be unable to return to the real world after being reborn!]

Li Wushuang bursts into tears: What kind of lousy System is this?! Do I really have to divorce him this time?

2. The third son of the Xie family, Xie Heng, was born into a distinguished military clan. He became a close confidant of the emperor at a young age, known for his stern resolve and formidable reputation. One day, the emperor decrees that he marry his precious daughter, who has already divorced two husbands.

Xie Heng, who had long been in love with the princess after they grew up together, happily accepts. Even when others call him a fool for picking up someone else's castoffs, his love for her never wavers.

The wedding candles burn bright, and the phoenix-patterned curtains hang low. The princess, who had always deliberately kept her distance, actually reaches out to undo his jade belt. After the wedding, the two are loving and blissful, and their married life is especially harmonious!

Xie Heng: Could she be so experienced because she's been married before?

A year into their marriage, the princess suddenly falls gravely ill and lies on the brink of death. A voice from beyond the heavens rings out: [Attention, Host! Mission is severely overdue! Divorce immediately! Otherwise, rebirth will fail and you will be condemned to the cycle of animal reincarnation!]

The princess hears this and bolts upright on her deathbed, flinging a divorce paper at him.

"Your Highness and I are deeply devoted to each other. Why do you want a divorce?"

"Are you divorcing me or not?"

"I won't!"

"Fine! Then I'll divorce you!"

Cast aside, Xie Heng is heartbroken. Less than a month after the divorce, the emperor orders him to lead troops to guard the frontier.

As he heads through the pass, the princess gallops up to block his way, carrying a bugged System. Her hairpin is askew, and the System screen flickers wildly before her eyes.

[Critical bug! Host's life points are fluctuating... static... Emotional module overloaded! Unable to detect Host's life points... static...]

She cries out to the rigid figure in black armor on horseback: "Third Brother Xie! Don't go! I love you!"

Xie Heng: Huh? Who? Who do you love? And who is Third Brother Xie?
