"System is calculating settlement, congratulations to the host for getting closer to your goal.
Your mission this time earned a lot of points, your total points have now reached ten million!"
The system's voice was full of surprise. It truly didn't expect its host to be so good at earning points.
"Mhm, how did I suddenly get so many points?"
"Host, in your last world, you propelled the development of an entire nation. How many people benefited from it, and how many people changed their destinies because of you? Naturally, the points would be high!"
"So if I have a few more missions like this, I can quickly fulfill my wish, right?"
"That's right, precisely. It's just that not every mission can be like this, and moreover, the main god has prohibited point inflation, so the host should not receive worlds with a Republican era background again."
"It doesn't matter, there are always other ways. Isn't the mission already one-fifth complete? Besides, the worlds will only get more difficult, and the points will get higher."
Lin Yan knew very well that this time she had borrowed the momentum of the nation, and with the great trust from the leaders, she was able to achieve such great success. If she were truly thrown into history, she would not have been able to make such a change.
"System, what's the new world?" She quickly collected her emotions and began to anticipate the next world.
"I seem to be on a ship right now."
"Yes, host. This is a novel about harem intrigue. Harem intrigue novels have been popular in recent years, so many worlds based on them have emerged. You are currently in such a world. However, your world is somewhat special."
"How is it special?" Lin Yan was curious. Harem intrigue, so it's about the struggles within the inner chambers. She didn't have much time to read novels, so during her free time, she would just read some magazines to relax.
She didn't really know what harem intrigue was, but in the Republican era world, she had heard Zhang Ma talk a lot about the struggles between wives and concubines in the inner chambers, and also about her second uncle's family, which gave her a rough understanding.
It seemed she still needed to observe more novels to better understand the tropes of the mission worlds she was in.
"I'll transfer the original owner's memories and plot to you, and you'll know."
"Okay." As soon as the word was spoken, the familiar pain attacked her brain.
This was a world of harem intrigue novels, and the main plot took place within the inner chambers.
The protagonist was a reborn legitimate daughter. In her previous life, she was suppressed by her庶妹 (concubine-born sister). Not only was her reputation in the boudoir not as great as hers, but her marriage was also not as good. Furthermore, her husband was too philandering after marriage, and her married life was a constant struggle with concubines.
In contrast, her庶妹, at a young age, had already gained fame for her talent. By the time she came of age, many people, regardless of her status as a庶女, came to propose to her. She also persuaded her father to let her choose her own husband.
In the end, she married into a prominent family, and her husband was devoted to her after marriage, making her the envy of all well-bred ladies.
The heroine also greatly envied her. Later, she even learned that her husband had originally intended to propose to her庶妹, and she was his second choice. This made her even more jealous of her!
Watching her husband take in concubines one by one, and seeing the shadow of her庶妹 on the faces of every concubine, her heart completely turned cold.
But she never expected to be reborn, to return to a time before her庶妹 had revealed her talent. She would not let her庶妹 off, she wanted to snatch everything from her and let her know that a庶女 was always a庶女.
They fought like this all the way, using all sorts of means. Of course, her庶妹 was not to be trifled with, but she still couldn't outwit the heroine who was familiar with the future.
In the end, to eliminate future troubles, the heroine directly nominated her庶妹 for the imperial selection. And she married the husband of her庶妹 in her previous life.
Her庶妹 indeed succeeded in entering the palace and became a concubine. However, the emperor was already old and had only two or three years left to live. No matter how favored her庶妹 was, it would only be for these two or three years.
And she remembered that after the old emperor died, all childless concubines were sent to temples to become nuns and pray for the emperor.
Thus, she completely defeated her庶妹 and became the envy of all ladies.
As for the original owner, she was the male lead's cousin. This cousin's parents had passed away early. Before her mother passed away, worried about her future, she had betrothed her to her maternal uncle's son, who was the male lead.
Therefore, after her parents' death, she brought all her family's wealth to her maternal uncle's home.
However, she was just an orphaned girl. Even with a fortune, her aunt found her very displeasing and was unwilling to agree to the marriage.
But her uncle was very worried about his sister's only daughter, so he agreed to betroth these two children.
However, because the original owner was still in mourning, they only exchanged tokens and had not yet begun the formal betrothal rites.
After the original owner moved into her uncle's home, the male lead cousin she was betrothed to also greatly liked this weak and dependent cousin.
If it weren't for the heroine and the female supporting character, the original owner would certainly have been able to marry the male lead. Even if she wasn't liked by her mother-in-law, her father-in-law was her own maternal uncle, so she probably wouldn't have suffered any grievances.
But her engagement blocked the path of the heroine and the female supporting character, so she did not meet a good end in both lives.
In the first life, she was falsely accused of having an affair with an outsider and was hastily married off to a wastrel. Her dowry was reduced to only one-third.
She was tormented by her mother-in-law and disliked by her husband, and eventually died of depression.
Her second life was even more tragic. At a flower viewing party, she was pushed into the water. Although she was rescued, her body was too weak, and she lingered in bed for more than half a month before passing away.
In fact, the original owner never wanted to marry her cousin. Although her cousin, as the male lead, was very outstanding, as an orphaned girl living under someone else's roof, she sensitively felt her aunt's displeasure.
A daughter-in-law who is not liked by her mother-in-law will have a difficult time establishing herself in the inner chambers, especially since she has no maternal family. Even if her cousin liked her, what difference would it make? As a man, how could he interfere in the affairs of the inner chambers?
Therefore, she only wanted a place to settle down, and then when she reached a suitable age, her uncle and aunt would arrange a husband for her.
She had her own dowry, and then she and her husband would live a simple life. Her sensible behavior would surely make her aunt very satisfied. Then she could be considered to have a maternal family.
Who would have thought that even though she didn't want to contend for her cousin's position as the main wife, some people wouldn't let her go. In both lives, her end was not a good one.
Lin Yan closed her eyes and opened them after a long time.
"System, that庶女 must be a transmigration, right!"
