"Xiaoqi, have you finished scanning the plants in this yard? Once you've confirmed the information, I'll go and collect the plant samples for you."

The system Tang Yu was bound to was an interstellar system from tens of thousands of years in the future.

By that time, human genes, as well as those of animals and plants, had undergone tremendous changes.

The system's purpose is to take its host to various small worlds to collect different plant genes, and then replicate them in future worlds, because there are very few plants in that era.

Therefore, Tang Yu's task was to collect different plants in various small worlds. Any flower, grass, or tree had value, even the wild grass by the roadside.

The more types of food Tang Yu collects, the more energy she gains, which ensures that her soul continues to live after this body dies.

This is her deal with the system.

Of course, the system also chose her because she awakened plant-related abilities, which allowed her to better collect plant energy.

Chapter 5: Starry Sky 5

"Yu Yu, your husband's house has many rare and exotic flowers and plants."

"No rush, we have a lifetime. I'll let you gather those flowers and herbs then."

Tang Yu's system doesn't have any urgent tasks.

For the past three years, Tang Yu has not even left his house because of his mourning period.

She collected flowers and plants from her own yard, and finished collecting them within three years, but the system wasn't in a hurry.

I'm a complete couch potato.

Tang Yu then realized that no one really wants to do a job; he could just do it whenever he had free time.

This kind of life couldn't be more perfect for her.

Aside from the dangerous and painful years he spent in the apocalypse, Tang Yu himself was an extremely carefree and laid-back person.

Asking her to be busy with work and tasks every day would be like killing her.

When Yuan Shen returned in the evening, he found his wife sitting on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.

The dim light shone on the girl's face, her features appearing and disappearing with a hazy beauty, which stirred up Yuan Shen's once calm heart once again.

It seems that every time he sees his newlywed wife, he feels an urge to take a step forward and get closer to her.

That beautiful face shouldn't be standing there in a daze; it should be showing him a radiant smile.

"What are you thinking about, Madam? It's already past dinner time. Aren't you hungry?"

The man's deep voice instantly brought Tang Yu back to her senses.

She looked up and saw her new husband standing in front of her, his dark eyes looking at her tenderly.

The man had a high, straight nose and a tall, elegant figure.

The blue robe on the man, along with the jade crown on his head, inexplicably gave him the appearance of a gentle and refined gentleman.

However, Tang Yu felt that her husband's personality did not seem to be as gentle and refined as jade.

"My husband, I was actually waiting for you to come back so we could have dinner together."

With her cheeks slightly raised and her innocent eyes carrying a gentle and kind curve, Tang Yu always looked at people with a gentle and warm gaze.

This wasn't her true nature, of course; it was just that when she was weak in the apocalypse, she was forced to ingratiate herself with others.

She had developed a natural instinct for it, and she didn't even know how much of her gentleness was genuine.

Yuan Shen tightened his grip on the fan. He suddenly had a strange feeling that his wife seemed to be smiling simply out of habit, and not because she was happy to see him.

However, the two are ten years apart in age, and Yuan Shen has already stumbled on a hurdle in his love life.

He is no longer as arrogant as he was in his youth, and he is no longer sarcastic or mean-spirited towards others.

After years of navigating the cutthroat world of officialdom, he now possesses an unusual patience for everyone.

His wife seemed quite different from what he had imagined, yet she made him very happy.

He likes to be in control of his own life, but he is always irresistibly drawn to things that get out of control.

With a smile, Yuan Shen stepped forward and took his wife's hand.

"It is my fault for making my wife wait for me on an empty stomach. The servants have prepared a delicious meal. My wife, let's go out and enjoy it together."

Tang Yu smiled slightly, then was led by the other person to have a meal outside.

In fact, she wasn't very interested in the food of that era.

Because of the lack of food and seasonings, and because of the three years of mourning, Tang Yu felt that all food was just so-so, and it would be better to absorb plant energy.

Therefore, she never had any enthusiasm or interest in eating.

The two ate dinner in silence, and Yuan Shen keenly sensed that his wife did not seem to like the food.

Could it be that the information I received was incorrect?

It seems I need to go back to my wife's family home to find out their preferences again.

As night fell, Tang Yu nervously watched the man lying next to her.

Before the other person even did anything, her heart was already pounding.

The moonlight shone dimly through the bed curtains.

Yuan Shen sensed his wife's resistance. He smiled and kissed her forehead, then kissed her cheeks like a gentle rain for a while.

When his young wife shyly closed her eyes, Yuan Shen smiled and reached out to hug her.

“Jiaojiao, you can tell me if you don’t want it. I know you were tired last night and didn’t rest well today. So go to sleep now. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything.”

The gentle, deep voice made Tang Yu subconsciously open her eyes and glance at the other person. She felt a little embarrassed, realizing that she had just misunderstood him.

"Thank you, my husband."

After saying this, Tang Yu closed her eyes shyly, then curled up in Yuan Shen's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Yuan Shen looked at his wife, who was quickly falling into a deep sleep. Although he was pleased with her trust in him, his gaze was also heavy.

The young wife was born into the Tang family of Qingyang; she should clearly be a favored daughter of heaven.

Even if she isn't as domineering and fierce as some young ladies in the capital, she should at least have a spirited and confident personality, or be dignified and elegant.

It won't be that weak and dim.

However, Yuan Shen vaguely sensed that his wife was carefully observing him and trying to please him.

He guessed that if he showed any indifference or anger, his young wife would probably run away from him completely, or even disappear.

Could it be that the Tang family of Qingyang is hiding something?

It seems we need to investigate what kind of life the young wife is living within the family.

Chapter 6: Starry Sky 6

For the next ten days, Yuan Shen, who was on his honeymoon, stayed at home with his wife, helping her get acquainted with family matters.

The couple gradually got to know each other better and gained a deeper understanding of one another.

Then, Tang Yu discovered that the person she married was too omnipotent.

Such a large family as the Yuan family of Jiaodong, with such a huge family business, has had its family affairs handled entirely by this person over the years, and all of this has been done quite well.

Tang Yu certainly doesn't need to take over the entire family affairs.

But as the matriarch, Tang Yu had to handle enough things. Just getting familiar with the family's various industries and members was enough to exhaust her.

Fortunately, one great advantage of being a daughter of a prestigious family is that the people she cultivates around her are all highly skilled individuals.

When Tang Yu married into the Yuan family, in addition to her enormous dowry, all the maids who accompanied her were elites.

In addition to handling her personal affairs, these maids also helped her manage her external businesses, assisted her with social interactions, and helped her handle her husband's family affairs.

This group of elite talents gradually helped Tang Yu get used to her current life, and she also gradually became more adept at handling the matters at hand.

Seeing this, Yuan Shen was relieved.

That night, Tang Yu washed up and went to bed as usual.

In ten days, she even began to get used to getting into bed and leaning forward into her husband's arms.

After all, she got married in winter, and now that the weather is getting colder, it would be warmer for the two of them to sleep together.

Yuan Shen embraced his young wife, whose skin was fair and smooth. Since their wedding night, the two had never been intimate again, and every night they would just rest together like this.

The thought of starting work tomorrow suddenly filled Yuan Shen with a sense of reluctance.

He lowered his head slightly and then gently kissed his wife's forehead.

Tang Yu sensed this sudden intimacy, and she slightly raised her eyes, her watery eyes filled with shyness and confusion.

"Is something the matter, my husband?"

Her coquettish voice stirred a desire within him, and Yuan Shen couldn't help but gently stroke his wife's cheek, tucking her dark hair behind her ear.

Tang Yu couldn't stand the tickling sensation on her cheeks and neck. She shyly tried to escape, but Yuan Shen had already lowered his head and slowly brought his thin lips close to the woman's ear. Then, with a smile, he softly and deeply recited the poem.

Wild grasses grow, glistening with dew. A beautiful woman appears, graceful and charming. Our chance encounter is exactly what I desire.

Wild grasses grow, glistening with dew. A beautiful woman appears, graceful and elegant. We meet by chance, and vow to stay together forever.

A wet, itchy, tingling sensation lingered in her ear. Tang Yu couldn't resist the teasing and struggled slightly. Yuan Shen chuckled and asked a question in her ear.

"Jiaojiao doesn't want to?"

After saying this, Yuan Shen slightly raised his head and looked at his wife. At this moment, Tang Yu's eyes were misty with tears, making her look especially endearing.

My throat felt tight and my heart felt hot.

But Yuan Shen's eyes were gentle at this moment, as if he was waiting for his wife's answer. If she disagreed, he would be able to leave.

Tang Yu's waist was pressed against Yuan Shen's hot embrace, the feeling of their bodies pressed tightly together filled him with restlessness, as if he had a sense of emptiness.

Despite her experiences in the apocalypse, she was actually somewhat averse to romantic relationships.
