After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected
Chapter 8 The Second World Opens
The moment his lover's breathing stopped, Gu Chang turned his head and gently looked at his lover's aging face. On the table was the will that had been completed long ago.
Gu Chang slowly closed his eyes, "System, let's go."
The system nodded and took Gu Chang's soul back to a small world composed of data.
"Host, are you okay?" The system circled around Gu Chang and asked with some concern, "If the host feels that the emotions in his heart are too heavy, the system can help you filter them."
"System, do you think it's possible to find him in the next world?" Gu Chang asked with his eyes lowered.
The system scratched its head hesitantly, "This... this possibility is very small."
"Okay, I got it. Let's count the mission points." Gu Chang looked calm.
Although the system was still worried about Gu Chang's mental state, it still counted the points and said excitedly, "A total of 15,800 points. The host is amazing! You've earned so many points in just the first world!"
Gu Chang just smiled.
"Points can be used to upgrade permissions or buy things in the random treasure house." The system answered seriously.
"Random treasure trove?"
"Every time the host enters a world, three items will appear in the random treasure chest." The system explained, "Because this is the host's first time entering a world, the random treasure chest is not open to the host."
"How do I upgrade my permissions?" Gu Chang asked.
System explanation: "The host can choose to upgrade permissions with 20,000 points. After upgrading permissions, you can get prompts about relevant task content."
Gu Chang didn't say anything.
The system looked at Gu Chang quietly. In fact, it hadn't said anything just now. When Gu Chang just left the world, it felt the trace of another energy fluctuation, which meant that in addition to the host, there were other people in that world.
The system didn't dare to think too much. It checked the host's physical condition and found that everything was fine, so it breathed a sigh of relief.
"Host, do you want to start the plot of the next world?"
Gu Chang nodded, "Open it." He wanted to upgrade his permissions once he earned enough points. Not all tasks could be guessed.
The system silently sends the host to the next world.
After a few seconds, Gu Chang opened his eyes and looked around.
Exquisite carved and hollowed-out patterns, and bed curtains with tassels.
This is an antique room, more like the kind that belongs to a wealthy family.
"Host, please receive the information." The system's electronic voice sounded.
Gu Chang looked at his dark green robe, then looked at his fair and slender hands. There were a few thin calluses on the fingertips of his right hand, indicating that he was a person who often used a brush.
The information soon appeared in front of Gu Chang.
Gu Chang quickly browsed through it.
This is a fictional ancient dynasty, and the current ruler is Emperor Ouyang Xiuming of the Great Xia Dynasty. The male protagonist is the Emperor, and he has a younger brother, Prince Yu Ouyang Yuanqi. The female protagonist is the reborn Black Lotus.
In her previous life, the heroine was engaged to Prince Yu, but her innocence was ruined because of the heroine's second sister, the female supporting character. After the heroine's father learned about this, he went to negotiate with Prince Yu to replace her, but Prince Yu said that the engagement was only made because the heroine's mother saved his life, so he only verbally agreed to the engagement.
However, this engagement didn't even have a letter of engagement. If Prince Yu insisted on not recognizing it, then this engagement would be just a joke. The heroine's father had no choice but to go back and think of other strategies.
The heroine didn't know that it was the female supporting role who framed her, so when the female supporting role was showing concern for her, the heroine had no defense against the female supporting role. During this period, Prince Yu also approached the heroine and asked if she was willing to leave here. The condition for helping her was to cancel the engagement.
Prince Yu only wanted to repay the heroine's mother for saving his life, and he had no feelings for the heroine. Now he asked the heroine to leave the house, just to cancel the engagement.
Even if the engagement is broken off, the heroine's father cannot use it to make a fuss. With Prince Yu's ability, he can ensure that the heroine will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
But the heroine refused, she believed she was capable of handling everything.
It was not until she was framed by the female supporting character and sent to a brothel, where she was tortured to death, that she realized that everything was caused by her second sister.
So the heroine was reborn with her memories. This time she fought against the concubine, built a shop, threw the female supporting role into a brothel, and successfully hooked up with the biggest financial sponsor, Emperor Zong, through a poem.
With the information she learned in her previous life, she became a talented woman sought after by everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty. Prince Yu also unilaterally canceled the engagement because the heroine's success no longer needed his protection.
Although the heroine was reluctant, the original engagement was only a verbal promise between Prince Yu and his mother, without a substantive marriage certificate, so she had no choice but to give up. The heroine soon stopped caring about this matter, after all, she already had the male protagonist, Emperor Zong. However, the heroine's style of painting inexplicably distorted, in addition to the male protagonist, Emperor Zong, she began to collect handsome men.
That’s right, it’s collecting.
At first, the heroine would talk about love with the men she liked, but later it developed to the point that no matter whether he was a groom on his way to get married or a man walking on the street, she only needed to give him a glance and he would be sent to her bed.
After the man committed suicide, the heroine pretended to be sorry and then asked her men to find a random place to bury him. The man's family did not dare to cause trouble for her because the heroine had a strong Mary Sue aura and the emperor Zongdi was behind her.
Most of the men she took into her harem initially refused to submit, but were eventually won over by her Mary Sue aura and fell head over heels for her. She then led a promiscuous life, eventually becoming the most famous person in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The story ends, scatter flowers.
Gu Chang's identity this time is Lu Zhiyuan, the eldest son of the Lu family. He is the son of a general of the Great Xia Dynasty. He is of noble status and gentle as jade, and is known as one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital.
However, Lu Zhiyuan died of a cold one month after the heroine was reborn.
Lu Zhiyuan's father, Lu Qiao, was often away at war. In the story, his father is falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy by the heroine, leading to the exile of his entire family. The reason for this is that his father accused the heroine of disrupting the government. The heroine laments for not being able to marry him while he was still alive.
Then the days passed between the heroine and the heroes, misunderstandings, reconciliations, misunderstandings, and reconciliations again...
I have to say that rebirth is a huge golden finger, not to mention that the heroine herself is a Mary Sue protagonist.
Gu Chang came one month after the heroine was reborn, which means that he became Lu Zhiyuan at the moment when Lu Zhiyuan caught a cold and died.
If Lu Zhiyuan hadn't died, he didn't know what impact it would have had on the plot. It seemed like his mission wouldn't be so boring this time.
Anyway, it’s enough for him to just have one relationship, so he should focus on his career next.
A blue light screen suddenly appeared in front of Gu Chang.
[Main Mission——Host, please explore and complete the mission on your own~]
[Side Quests——Please explore and complete the quests on your own~]
[Hidden Mission——Please explore and complete the mission by yourself~]
"Host, a large amount of toxins has been detected in this body. Please take Snow Lotus Pill to detoxify." The system gave a serious reminder.
Gu Chang lowered his crow-feather eyelashes. It turned out that he died of poisoning.
"give it to me."
A white pill appeared in Gu Chang's hand. Gu Chang ate it and the pill melted in his mouth.
The system scanned Gu Chang's body again, "Host, the toxin is gone."
"System, check where the heroine is now." Gu Chang got up from the bed and walked to the bookshelf against the wall to look for a book. He had now completely accepted Lu Zhiyuan's memories, so finding a book was easy for him.
After a while, the system came back and said cheerfully, "The heroine is now at Zhuqie Residence, one of the favorite places for scholars and writers."
Gu Chang's eyes were slightly cold. Zhuqieju was the place where the heroine met Emperor Ouyang Xiuming. The reason why the heroine could act recklessly in the capital later was because she was with this man.
"Long Yi, get ready. I'm going to Zhuqieju." Gu Chang found the book he was looking for and placed it under his pillow, essentially letting the system store it. Long Yi was one of ten secret guards left behind by the original owner's father to protect Lu Zhiyuan.
Because Lu Qiao's former wife, Ye Wan, Lu Zhiyuan's mother, was assassinated. Lu Zhiyuan and his mother are 70% similar, and Lu Qiao is afraid that seeing Lu Zhiyuan will remind him of the pain of his deceased wife, so this is also part of the reason why Lu Qiao has been away from home for many years.
Long Yi quickly prepared the carriage. He did not ask Gu Chang why he went out despite having a cold. He just looked at Gu Chang's slightly pale face with a dark look in his eyes for a moment.
In the original plot, Lu Zhiyuan often went to Zhuqieju, so it didn't arouse any suspicion.
Zhuqieju was a favorite haunt of Beijing's literati. It was a two-story, spacious residence. The first floor was where they would discuss writing, composing poetry, and painting. The second floor was reserved for only the most famous.
There is an independent open space on the second floor, three sides of which are walls with some words or phrases hung on them.
If one can compose a poem based on the word or character and obtain the approval of the owner of Zhuqieju, the poem can be hung on the railing on the second floor for people to see.
You can also meet the owner of Zhuqieju.
Being able to hang poems on the second floor is considered a great honor by literati and scholars.
Although the heroine has been raised in seclusion since childhood, she has some knowledge of poetry, but only has a superficial understanding.
However, she happened to win the applause of the whole room with a poem at Zhuqieju, became famous overnight, and became the most talented woman in the capital.
Gu Chang remembered that the heroine's poem was related to a rare book he found on the bookshelf today. If he hadn't accepted Lu Zhiyuan's memory, he wouldn't have known that the heroine's poem was borrowed.
An ancient and majestic carriage was parked outside the Zhuqieju Gate. Several people who were closer to the gate recognized that it was the Lu family's carriage.
No need to guess, it must be General Lu’s son Lu Zhiyuan who has come.
A slightly thin hand stretched out from the curtain of the car, with distinct joints and delicate porcelain-white skin, which made people think of how graceful the owner of the hand was.
He wore a dark green robe, and the patterns on the lapels were all outlined with silver thread. When he moved around, he seemed like a hermit who had never appeared in the world. His whole body had a cold and cool aura, which made people feel that they were far beyond their reach.
Her dark hair was draped behind her head, held together only by a dark-colored headband. A few strands of black hair hung by her ears, revealing a fair and full forehead, which only made her eyes, as far-reaching as the vast stars, even more secluded. With her slender eyebrows, high nose bridge, and pale pink lips, she looked like a banished immortal from a painting.
When walking towards me, I can almost feel a slight coolness.
The first floor, which had been quite noisy, suddenly became strangely quiet. After the young man went up to the second floor, the people below came back to their senses and couldn't help but sigh.
Rumor has it that Lu Zhiyuan's mother, Ye Wan, was a distinguished lady from a prominent family, widely considered the most talented woman in the capital. Ye Wan's beauty was praised by everyone who saw her.
It now seems that Lu Zhiyuan inherited his appearance from his mother Ye Wan.
"Host, the heroine is right there!" The system spotted the heroine's location with sharp eyes, and when it saw the heroine staring straight at its host, it glared back angrily.
The heroine of this world is Xu Ruowei, the daughter of the Minister of Rites.
Xu Ruowei didn't expect to meet Lu Zhiyuan in Zhuqieju. After all, before her rebirth, Lu Zhiyuan was the person she admired the most.
However, Lu Zhiyuan was also about to die.
Xu Ruowei remembered that she was framed and imprisoned in the Xu family's ancestral hall for three days. After she was released, she was locked in her room and not allowed to step out. Then she heard the maid who was guarding her say that Lu Zhiyuan had died of a cold.
She remembered that she felt only a moment of regret, and then sadness for her situation.
After a moment, she realized she had been staring at him, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She was now a woman disguised as a man, and she couldn't do anything that was unbecoming of her status, and she had important things to do.
Then she saw that the people around her were also staring at Gu Chang with blank eyes.
Xu Ruowei, "......"
"Ziqing! It's great that you're here too!" A hoarse voice, unique to teenagers in the voice change period, sounded slightly lowered.
Ziqing is Lu Zhiyuan's pen name.
Gu Chang heard the voice and looked over, only to see a handsome young man in a purple robe and a jade crown walking towards him quickly.
Her identity has been confirmed and she is one of the future heroine's harem.
Ouyang Jingye, son of King Anshan.
Lu Zhiyuan was only a few years older than Ouyang Jingye. The two had met at Zhuqieju and, due to their shared interests, had become close friends. He was also one of Lu Zhiyuan's few friends.
Ouyang Jingye led his men to a calligraphy scroll and said, "Ziqing, this is today's calligraphy. With your ability, you will definitely win the championship."
Lu Zhiyuan looked at the word "snow", his cold brows relaxed slightly, but he did not answer.
"Prince, you are too arrogant. Everyone here is very talented and well-read. When you say that, it seems that you don't take others seriously." A very arrogant voice sounded behind him.
Ouyang Jingye couldn't help but frown when he saw the person coming.
"Zhang Xingye, what are you trying to do now?" Ouyang Jingye stood in front of Gu Chang, blocking Zhang Xingye's gaze from his gaze. Last time, Zhang Xingye had secretly drugged his friend in an attempt to tarnish Ziqing's innocence. If he hadn't arrived in time, Ziqing would have been in danger.
Gu Chang also remembered who Zhang Xingye was.
Zhang Xingye's grandson, one of the most notorious bullies in the capital, was known for his homosexuality. However, given his status, not many dared to stand against him.
Lu Zhiyuan had been harassed by Zhang Xingye before, but Lu Zhiyuan was a cold-blooded person and naturally ignored such things. Zhang Xingye had held a grudge against Lu Zhiyuan ever since.
Gu Chang's aura became even colder.
"Prince, why are you so nervous? I won't eat you." Although Zhang Xingye didn't have the courage to provoke Ouyang Jingye, the other party was handsome and it would be nice to take a few glances at him.
"Ziqing, let's go." After saying this, Ouyang Jingye didn't even look at Zhang Xingye, and pulled Lu Zhiyuan to a crowded place to block the disgusting gaze.
Zhang Yexing wasn't annoyed by Ouyang Jingye's actions. A playful expression appeared on his pale face as he instructed the people around him, "You must win the championship no matter what. Do you understand?"
"Understood." A cold voice came from within the black veil, devoid of any emotion. Not only was the woman's face covered with black veil, but her eyes were also covered.
"System, who is the person next to Zhang Xingye?" Gu Chang asked.
"He's from Tongtian Valley, his name is Qiyan." The system dug out relevant information from a large pile of data.
The people of Tongtian Valley have always been secluded from the world, only appearing in the world when the world is in chaos and they need to choose a new master. From the original text to the ending, the existence of Tongtian Valley is only briefly mentioned.
It's just that the original Lu Zhiyuan didn't die, so it's hard to say where the plot is going...
