Gu Yao lay helplessly on the rocking chair, the dull pain in his chest making him frown, but when he thought of the miserable appearance of his enemy that he had just seen on the news, he couldn't help but smile.

The streets are busy with cars and people coming and going.

Looking at this city that had witnessed all the joys and sorrows of his twenty-five years of life, Gu Yao felt an unprecedented sense of boredom.

Feeling a tightness in her chest, Gu Yao smiled, but her eyes gradually became unfocused, and she quietly closed them.

The autumn sun was warm and gentle, and a breeze carried the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms from the courtyard entrance.

Everything in the world seems the same, except that one person is missing.

I came into this world alone, and I will leave it alone as well.

*

Gu Yao didn't understand. Even if he couldn't enter heaven after his death, the underworld should at least accept him.

Instead of seeing the King of Hell, he saw a sphere of light with a patterned face and a pair of small wings, which looked particularly comical against its round body.

It's kind of cute...

Gu Yao couldn't help but reach out and poke it, and the system's round body flipped in the air.

The system was somewhat annoyed and cowardly, so it could only fly a little further away to avoid Gu Yao. It glared at Gu Yao angrily and began its self-introduction.

"Hello, host. I am the Supporting Character Substitute System 0529. Your soul strength has been detected to meet the binding requirements. I am now binding you as my host."

Gu Yao was taken aback, turned his head to look at the strange ball of light, and slowly spoke, glancing at it, "Why should I agree to your request?"

The light sphere seemed surprised by Gu Yao's words, and even its mechanical electronic voice sounded somewhat anxious.

Don't you want to be reborn? To live again?

Gu Yao lay down flat, looking completely uninterested. "I have no parents, I'm all alone, and I've already avenged my great enemy. If I wanted to live, I would have gone to get treatment long ago."

0529's usually calm voice was now tinged with panic, "Does the host really have no wishes?"

Gu Yao looked disgusted and sneered, "If I had any wishes, would I be here arguing with you?"

0529 was somewhat dejected. Why was this host so stubborn? If it couldn't bind a host again, its performance would be at the bottom again.

Seeing the previously chattering ball of light in front of him become dejected, Gu Yao found it somewhat amusing.

I haven't seen anything this cute in a long time.

Hmm, something unknown.

He acted so serious before, but he's still a child at heart.

Well, how can a child who is over a hundred years old not be a child?

Gu Yao flicked the small ball of light in front of him with his finger, making it spin a few times in the air. He was secretly pleased, but his face remained arrogant.

"Alright, I'll let you go have some fun. Tell me what you're supposed to do."

Just when things seemed to be looking up, 0529 was beaming with excitement, flitting around Gu Yao and chattering incessantly, as if it wanted to shower Gu Yao with 20,000 words of praise.

Gu Yao felt like eight hundred ducks were quacking in his ears, so he quickly waved his hand and sent the system flying.

"Hurry up and give instructions, finish the job as soon as possible, and we can call it a day."

0529 covered her head with a wronged expression, and for once she became serious, she even coughed lightly twice, like a human, and was a little awkward.

"Host, may I ask if you prefer boys or girls? This will determine which dimension we will place you in. We value the host's experience and are very humane."

0529 finished speaking with a proud look on his face, as if he were honored.

Gu Yao looked up and saw that although the system was clearly a sphere, he somehow perceived a feeling of standing tall and proud.

That's interesting; it raised a kind smile.

"Wow, that's pretty humane. I like men."

0529 didn't show any strange expression. He took out a floating transparent panel, nodded slightly, and silently lowered his head to carefully modify the data.

Gu Yao looked at the somewhat simple-minded system and gave a faint smile.

It feels really good to be seen as a normal person, even though the system isn't human.

Putting away the panel, 0529 conjured two short arms with an air of seriousness, straightened his collar, pulled out the introduction outline, and began to give a serious (crossed out) emotionless retelling.

"I am the supporting character substitute system. In the three thousand small worlds of this world, each world has its own chosen one and a supporting character with an unyielding obsession."

They were either filled with resentment or powerful individuals with deep-seated obsessions. The unyielding will of those with self-awareness caused the world's timeline to restart.

However, the trajectory of the world cannot be changed, and most of them exchange their souls for the dissipation of their resentment.

The system's job is to maintain the world line.

The bound host is meant to take their place, complete the storyline for them, maintain the world's timeline, and, if possible, fulfill the original owner's wishes.

Note that the time of death cannot be changed, the main storyline cannot be altered, and the protagonist's life cannot be harmed; everything else is up to the host.

0529 paused, then continued, "The host's current authority is too low. Once the host's authority increases, the host will have greater autonomy in the plane."

After finishing her long speech in one breath, 0529 looked at Gu Yao with some trepidation, as if worried that Gu Yao might change his mind.

Gu Yao touched that smooth head; hmm, it felt cool to the touch.

"Interesting. Let's go then."

0529 was a little excited; he was finally going to start doing missions again.

"Okay, loading the first world, 'The White-Robed Minister'."

Gu Yao's vision went black for a moment, and when he woke up again, he saw the carved canopy of the bed.

The maid next to him uttered a classic line, "Young master, you're finally awake."

Before Gu Yao could react, the maidservant ran towards the door, shouting, "Young Master is awake!"

Gu Yao: "..."

With a sigh, Gu Yao gently activated the system, taking advantage of the moment when no one was around to receive the plot.

0529 looked obediently at her, "Okay, host, I'll transfer the original owner's memories and plot to you right away (^_^)"

Gu Yao stared at the emoticon speechlessly; this system's brain didn't seem to be working very well.

After a moment of dizziness, Gu Yao received the plot and memories.

The story of "The White-Robed Prime Minister" tells the tale of the sixth prince who ascended the throne of Yue and became the first emperor in Chinese history. On his path to becoming emperor, he met his destined one, Qin Chang, the illegitimate son of the Minister of Revenue. The two became acquainted and protected each other. One became emperor, and the other became prime minister. The two were both recorded in history, and their relationship was praised by later generations.

Gu Yao is the second son of the Gu family.

He fell in love with Xi Yue in his youth, pouring out his heart and soul into the relationship, becoming the greatest help on Xi Yue's path to becoming emperor.

The second son of the Gu family is intelligent and quick-witted, but he cannot see the meaning of love.

He helped Xi Yue devise strategies and saved Xi Yue from danger several times.

He persuaded the Gu family, who had always been neutral, to help Xi Yue seize the throne. After that, Gu Yao took over the Gu family's power, and most of the civil officials in the court were from the Gu family lineage. From then on, they all stood behind Xi Yue.

Gu Cheng, the eldest son of the Gu family, was known for his strategic thinking and was highly respected in the army.

To safeguard the border, he led troops into battle, returned victorious, and was promoted to General of the Cavalry.

In a short time, the Gu family controlled most of the civil and military officials in the court, and forcefully pushed Xi Yue, who originally had little hope of winning the throne, to the position of crown prince.

Gu Yao always kept his feelings buried deep in his heart, never crossing the line. He devoted himself to his beloved, hoping to be remembered in history with her. Xi Yue and Qin Chen were in love, but he never harmed anyone, only grieving alone in the dead of night.

However, the Gu family's influence was too great, and their achievements overshadowed the emperor. The Gu twins were wholeheartedly devoted to the country and its people, but due to Xi Yue's suspicion, they fabricated charges of treason, tarnishing the Gu family's century-old reputation. All of the more than one hundred members of the Gu family were killed.

Qin Chen also played a role in this.

It was only after his death that Gu Yao realized that the life-saving grace he had once considered a close friend in his youth was nothing more than a scheme orchestrated by the emperor.

Having used the Gu family, how could they allow the Gu family's reputation to surpass that of the emperor? The fabricated charges and the lives of over a hundred members of the Gu family are nothing compared to the emperor's suspicions.

Gu Yao was filled with hatred, but at that time he could no longer harm Xi Yue, whose imperial aura was even stronger, and was even punished by the Heavenly Dao.

Gu Yao resented the injustice of Heaven and was filled with boundless resentment, which attracted the system. Once Xi Yue, the chosen one, passed away, the system would restart the world.

He had witnessed the prosperous era when Xi Yue was in power, but he could not let go of the hatred for the Gu family.

He did not want to live again, nor did he want the people of the world to lose a wise ruler.

Then one would have to conquer the land for generations, becoming a lonely figure.

For the rest of my life, I will seek but not obtain.

It will haunt him with regret for the rest of his life, even in his midnight dreams.

Let him see all the glory of high position and enjoy boundless loneliness.

If possible, please proclaim a great era of peace and prosperity, a time of tranquility and peace.

To help him realize the grand vision he couldn't achieve in his short life.
