Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

It wasn't until three months later, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, that Shen Ruyin had the opportunity to enter the palace. By then, the emperor had already passed away, and Consort Shen had completed her transformation from Empress Shen to Empress Dowager Shen.

Second Sister Shen Ruyun had already entered the palace to offer congratulations once before, as a noblewoman, so today, Empress Dowager Shen invited Shen Ruyin alone.

Before entering Chang Le Palace, Shen Ruyin couldn't help but laugh. The final chapter had finally arrived.

With a heart full of joy, she bowed and said, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager, I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

"You're always causing trouble," Empress Dowager Shen said, taking two quick steps to stop her from bowing and pulling her to sit down with her. "It feels like a lifetime has passed since I last saw you."

Shen Ruyin lowered her voice: "Then this separation across lifetimes is good."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Shen Ruyin came to congratulate her again: "Congratulations, elder sister. From now on, you can rest easy."

"It's all thanks to your reminder," Empress Dowager Shen said, still feeling lingering fear. "Fortunately, you reminded me of the late Emperor's affection for Empress Jiang, which allowed me to say a few gentle words in time and not target Empress Jiang, which made things go so smoothly afterward."

"Otherwise, I would probably be like Consort Xian and Consort De, who advised Empress Jiang to be immoral and should be stripped of her title and have her family exterminated, and be sent down to keep her company."

"Everyone says that the late emperor was an extreme person who had no sincerity towards anyone. Who would have thought that he was just very good at hiding his true feelings?"

"No wonder, even with all the secret efforts of me and the other concubines, we couldn't bring down Empress Jiang. Even Consort Gao sacrificed herself, and in the end, all we got was for Empress Jiang to stay in the palace for several months."

"Looking back now, wasn't Empress Jiang's seclusion in the palace a form of protection for her?"

“Isn’t it said that when judging a person’s actions, one should ‘judge by their deeds, not their intentions’? I’m just observing coldly that the late emperor was too lenient with Empress Jiang,” Shen Ruyin lowered her eyelids. “They have been getting along very poorly in recent years, but what belongs to Empress Jiang has never fallen into the hands of anyone else.”

"Even the power of the palace, after passing through your hands several times, has ultimately returned to Empress Jiang's hands, hasn't it?"

Shen Ruyin paused for a moment: "I used to think it was because the late emperor valued the eldest son, the eldest son of the main wife. But after you, elder sister, devised a plan to expose the eldest son's pretense in front of the late emperor, he scolded him several times, but forgave him each time. Only then did I realize the role that Empress Jiang played in all of this."

"The late emperor was truly a man of great ambition," Empress Dowager Shen scoffed. "Unfortunately, he kept his intentions too hidden, which pushed Empress Jiang to her limit and ultimately led her to her own doom."

Fortunately, I was only favored by the late emperor, not someone he truly cared about.

"I really don't want to be such a pitiful person, to be liked in such a disgusting way."

"Enough, enough," Empress Dowager Shen gently brushed her hair behind her ear. "On happy days, we shouldn't mention irrelevant people."

"When the emperor ascended the throne, he bestowed favors upon many people, but you were the only one left out. Are you unhappy about that?"

“What could I possibly be unhappy about?” Shen Ruyin said, completely unconcerned. “With you here, big sister, I’m more than confident!”

Empress Dowager Shen's smile deepened upon hearing this, and she offered her explanation: "His Majesty intends to bestow upon you the title of Lady of Song, and also grant your brother-in-law the title of General Xuanwu. As for Ruyi, since his official rank has already been promoted, we will postpone that for now."

"Thank you for your kindness, sister," Shen Ruyin said, putting aside her son's matter. "Now I am a Lady of the State, a wife of the highest rank. Sister, tell me, isn't this a case of you achieving enlightenment while I'm being carried along?"

"You're talking nonsense again," Empress Dowager Shen said reproachfully, but felt inexplicably relieved. Even the name Nanxing had changed hands several times over the generations around her, but her younger sister Yinyin remained constant.

"May this be true from now on, always."

There are no more worries.

-

Even after the story ended, Shen Ruyin's life didn't change much.

No, there have been changes, after all, my identity has changed.

But Su Jinchen treated her as well as always, and Empress Dowager Shen still remembered her as her younger sister in every way. Even the Emperor often gave his aunt face, making her retirement life very comfortable.

When her life came to an end, she returned to a space made of pure white the moment she closed her eyes.

In just a moment, she felt her heart gradually calm down, and many emotions drifted away.

"are u there?"

Shen Ruyin spoke.

Why was the ending of the last world different from the original plot?

“I clearly remember that even without the Crown Prince taking control of the Imperial Guards beforehand, Empress Jiang was able to control the Emperor because of the eunuchs she sent to the Emperor’s side, as well as the few guards who were stationed in the Xuan Shi Hall.”

"Because she did not have enough power to control the court, Empress Jiang chose to let the eldest prince accumulate prestige first, instead of directly plotting against the emperor."

"Empress Jiang was forced to her death by Consort Gao, who had escaped from the Cold Palace, in collusion with Consort De and others after she was imprisoned in the Phoenix Palace."

A string of strange characters appeared, but Shen Ruyin understood their meaning without any hindrance.

[This is fiction, and it is also reality.]

[Congratulations, the newbie world is well done. You can check your card.]

The next moment, Shen Ruyin returned to the real world, her hand holding the phone trembling slightly.

Ding Dong!

A bank SMS message has arrived.

Shen Ruyin opened the app with slightly unfamiliar movements.

One, two, three... a total of eight zeros.

I really do have a small goal!

Shen Ruyin smiled happily, exited the text message page, glanced at the phone app and was about to call her parents when she felt dizzy and returned to the pure white space.

This time, there was the sound of wind in the air.

You have died suddenly.

[Before resurrecting, you must not contact anyone, otherwise it will affect the determination of the time of death.]

"Let's go to the next world," Shen Ruyin said, suppressing her longing for her family. "I will try my best to live on."

[The Next World: Princess in Troubled Times]

"Yinyin, Yinyin, why is this child sleeping here?"

Shen Ruyin opened her eyes groggily, feeling somewhat dazed.

"What's wrong?" The older sister-in-law touched her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, she didn't get a fever. Next time you're sleepy, go back inside to sleep; it's cold outside."

"I understand, sister-in-law," Shen Ruyin, now known as Li Yinyin, said. "I just suddenly got sleepy and accidentally fell asleep! Please don't tell my brother, okay?"

The sister-in-law enjoyed her sister-in-law's coquettishness: "If you promise to be obedient next time, I won't say anything."

Li Yinyin quickly patted her chest and made more promises, which made her sister-in-law extremely happy. She picked her up and carried her back to the house: "Yinyin was good today, so you can have a piece of candy."

Li Yinyin leaned against her sister-in-law's shoulder and smiled sweetly.

In this world, Li Yinyin is merely a spoiled peasant girl who initially breaks up the female lead's relationship with the second male lead's first love.

Before the female lead left the small mountain village, she was living a good life. She even gave up on the second male lead, who had someone in his heart and was still keeping her hanging, and married someone else after being persuaded by her brother.

Unfortunately, the female protagonist offended the wrong people, and the entire village paid the price for her actions.

Apart from the second male lead and Li Yinyin's brother, no one else in the village survived.

In order to avenge his family, Brother Li painstakingly built up his own power and found the culprit and the female lead, but he was defeated by the female lead's halo and the second male lead, who had forgotten his family's revenge. He was even accused of being the culprit who had already admitted his mistake, but he still wouldn't let it go.

Can a simple admission of wrongdoing erase so many lives? The female lead is truly a hypocrite.

Thinking of the scene in the drama where the brother was clutching the purse containing his wife's and sister's hair before he died, Li Yinyin couldn't help but tighten her arms and hug her sister-in-law even tighter.

[This is fiction, and it is also reality.]

Li Yinyin thought to herself, since it's real, then there's no need for this plot to be followed, is there?
