Hualalala—
The bean-sized raindrops hit the window of the horse-drawn carriage, the sound of which was like a song of war . Outside the window, screams and sounds of fighting were piercing through the rainy night . The smell of blood spread, with bright red rainwater streaming everywhere .
“Princess, Princess…” The faint voice sounded in Ming Shu’s ears .
Ming Shu’s consciousness was erratic, and it took a while to settle .
“Princess, are you okay?” The voice trembled, mixed with a bit of despair in the noisy rain .
Ming Shu felt soreness all over . She tried to sit up, but before she could sit properly, an abrupt imbalance made her pitch forward and onto the cold wood .
It hurts!
Are you serious? This world doesn’t have to give such a big greeting gift, okay?
“Princess!” The exclamation of the little girl rang .
Then Ming Shu was supported with a pair of trembling hands, the palms covered in cold sweat, showing that the owner of the hands was very scared at this time . Ming Shu looked up but only saw a thin and weak silhouette .
Ming Shu touched the skin that had collided with the wood just now . She sat still by holding onto the wall and leaned over to listen outside .
In addition to the sound of rain, there were cluttered footsteps and the sound of weapons colliding .
The minute I got here I encountered a fight . What an exciting thing .
“Take the princess away, quickly . ”
An unknown voice suddenly screamed outside, then the carriage abruptly jostled, shaking Ming Shu to the back . This wild running in the rain was definitely more eventful than riding a bouncy car .

Ming Shu’s whole body was almost shattered . She grabbed onto every object that could be used as a support, barely stabilizing her body .
Shit . Damn it .
What kind of road killer is driving this carriage? Your license will be revoked, do you know that!
The carriage progressed bumpily for a long time, and other than the sound of rain, there was no fighting . Then the bumps gradually smoothed out, and they seemed to have reached the high road . The carriage stopped after running for a long time again .
There was only the roar of rain from outside . No one opened the door, and no one spoke .
The little girl with Ming Shu had long fainted, and it was impossible to count on her . Ming Shu had to try to push the door open by herself . She was weak and pale now, and almost had no strength .
It took her quite a long time to push the door open . Upon opening the door, the rain poured in, and half of her body was soaked . Ming Shu reached out to block the strong wind and rain, pushing open the jammed carriage door and bent over to get out .
Her entire person was soaked in the heavy rain . The wet, heavy clothes molded to her body, making her uncomfortable .
Surrounded by boundless darkness, vision blocked by curtains of rain, Ming Shu could see nothing but the shadows of some trees and the outlines of the mountains . It was impossible to tell where she was .
So tired… and hungry—I need to find something to eat first .
Ming Shu turned around and prepared to go back to the carriage . Suddenly a sword, gleaming coldly, appeared in the darkness and blocked her way . A voice dripping with sarcasm penetrated the rain . “Your Highness, where do you want to go?”
“Go back to sleep, do you believe that?” MingShu didn’t look back, answering the question with a light tone .
The owner of the voice kept silent for a few seconds . After a moment, the sword flashed to Ming Shu’s front, completely blocking her way back to the carriage . “Your Highness, why don’t you come with me to sleep somewhere else? I’m sure that no one will bother Your Highness there . ”
“You want to kill me?” Ming Shu calmly turned around . She was standing high on the carriage, taller than the other, and condescended to lower her sight to the man in black . The latter was entirely wrapped in cloth, leaving only his eyes visible . The corner of Ming Shu’s lips lifted . “Who gave you the order?”
The man in black sneered . “Your Highness, blame yourself for not living at a good time . You blocked the way . ”

Blocked the way?
Of whom?
For god’s sake, couldn’t he give me some time to learn the plot? We can discuss this later after I eat something…
Obviously, the opposite party didn’t agree .
The man jumped up in a single bound . Mixed with the wind and rain, the sharp blade cut the air with imposing momentum, directly attacking Ming Shu .
Damn, I’m over .
I’m so hungry and have no strength to fight .
The key was that this body had no martial arts skill at all . Such a delicate body couldn’t even be expected to possess the simplest knowledge of Kong Fu . She highly suspected that a little fierce action would be enough to destroy the body .
I’m going to die, I’m done…
Rumble—
A column of purple light dropped down from the sky, seeming to tear the air, and the earth trembled with fear .
The blade pierced into her flesh— Puchi —and time was frozen .
The sword successfully penetrated Ming Shu’s chest, blood gushing . Yet the woman didn’t seem to have noticed the pain . The lightning flashed and the man saw a weird smile on the woman’s face .
She slowly reached out and gripped the blade…
In the next moment, the man seemed to glimpse something horrible . His pupils gradually filled with horror and fear .
Hualala—
The rain was getting heavier .
” Cough, cough …” Ming Shu was choked by the rain . She pushed the man aside with her legs; he was still breathing but couldn’t move .
The man’s eyes were wide open, chest heaving .
She glanced at him, then reached out to touch her own wet chest . She wondered whether it was blood or rain that dampened it .
Ming Shu didn’t get up immediately . She stared at the rain, her eyes filled with silence and darkness past the curtain of rain .
For a long time, she only sighed, then wrapped her clothes tighter around her and climbed up from the ground . Then she crawled into the carriage on her hands and knees .
So hungry!
Only snacks can comfort my injured heart now .
Don’t ask her how she killed the man in black . She will say that it’s her suicide that killed him, believe it or not .
[… Guest, your life-saving skill is very special . ] The Harmony System wanted to say this earlier in the last world, but the Guest seemed to be a bit perfunctory and arrogant when it came to this topic .
No wonder she was fearless and unafraid of death .
At first, the System only felt that the Guest was very powerful and capable of causing and dealing with troubles . This was in line with its recruitment guidelines .
But after getting along with her these days, the Harmony System noticed more and more questionable (shining) points about the Guest .
“Maybe a little… It’s a passive skill . ” Ming Shu sounded slightly pitiful . “Who will commit suicide for nothing?!”
… Although she had done it before, now she was no longer a naive fool .
[…] Didn’t you commit suicide before? [A passive skill? How many times can you use it?]
This was almost equivalent to getting an infinite resurrection buff in a game . Committing suicide was the key to starting a powerful slaughter, causing the level of violence to rise sharply . It would be very easy to pass all missions .
“Why should I tell you, shut up, you . ” In addition to giving bad ideas, what else can you do? Useless system .
Ming Shu didn’t answer the Harmony System . Mainly because speaking consumed too much energy, and also because she was too hungry .
Ming Shu covered her chest, leaning against the window and gasping . She searched for a moment in the carriage and touched a paper bag that appeared to hold food . Ming Shu opened it and took a sniff . Great, it was indeed food . She decided to eat it, ignoring whether it was delicious or poisonous .
But the snack she found was not even enough for Ming Shu to sate her hunger . The last of her strength had been used to kill the man in black . She only wanted to find a place to eat quietly now .
Let me die with my snacks .
Don’t stop me .
Ming Shu was too hungry to even receive the plot, but the plot had begun to pour into her brain uncontrollably .
This was the setting of an ancient romance .
Cheng Jinyun, the fake female protagonist, was reluctant to marry a silly prince because she loved someone else . At the time before she was reborn, she planned to make her younger sister Cheng Jinxiu, the righteous female protagonist, marry for her . The two shared the same father but had different mothers .
As a result, the man Cheng Jinyun loved was total scum who only took a fancy to the authority of the Cheng family . With the help of the Cheng family, the scum achieved his goal of gaining an identity and status . He began to indulge in depraved pastimes, and his original vows and promises became a joke .
At this time, the situation in the Imperial Court suddenly changed, and it turned out the silly prince would become emperor . The news shocked the whole world . No one imagined that the grand winner would be him .
