Report to the Empress and the Eldest Princess: They're using the system to poach your men.

After reading it, I was stunned for a moment before hesitantly asking a question.

"Where am I now? Why do I look like this?"

[The system has detected that due to the host's coma, the main system has automatically selected a fictional dynasty as the main storyline for the host. The host is currently in the Southern Jing Kingdom and is identified as the deceased Princess Shen Sangwan.]

"died?"

The Third Prince, Shen Yushu, conspired with the Duke of Wen's family to launch a rebellion, besieging the capital with a large army. Princess Shen Sangwan led troops to rescue the emperor, but was betrayed by the Duke of Wen, fell off a cliff, and died from her injuries.

"So, does this mean I've taken over from her?"

[The system has detected that the main system has selected the following storyline for the host: Support the youngest brother of the eldest princess, Shen Yuchen, to ascend the throne and ensure his stable rule in the court. When the emperor achieves his goals, the host will retire from the court.]

What will happen if I don't do the mission?

[The system has detected that the main system has selected Hell Mode for the host. If the host violates the tasks set by the main system, he/she will be subject to 8,888 random punishments.]

Shen Sangwan twitched the corners of her mouth, inwardly cursing the main system as a complete jerk.

As soon as she finished yelling, her head felt like it was about to explode.

[Host, insulting the main system will be punished.]

"Waaaaah, someone save her! She doesn't want to be bound to this lousy system!"

She wanted to go home, even though her parents didn't love her there. But thankfully, they lived in peacetime, and she had more money than she could ever spend!

[Please accept reality and stop your useless groans. Would you like to activate the compensation package?]

Every cell in Shen Sangwan's body was resisting, but the facts were set in stone, and her rebuttal was futile.

All I can do is mentally re-brainwash myself and accept the current reality.

"Wait a minute? Why is it called a compensation gift package?"

[In the information provided earlier, everyone else received a newbie gift pack, a daily sign-in gift pack, or a lucky draw gift pack. Why did hers become a compensation gift pack?]

[The system has detected that this gift pack was set by the main system, and the system has no authority to investigate the reason.]

Shen Sangwan lowered her head weakly, "Open it, open it!"

[Host has chosen to activate the compensation gift pack. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a "Poaching System" and the permanent privilege of using any item in the system free of charge.]

"Wh...what? What is this? A poaching system? Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

Shen Sangwan's mind went blank again.

[The system is loading, please wait a moment.]

After a moment of silence, Shen Sangwan, in this unfamiliar place, couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Hey!"

"are you still there?"

"Hello?"

I tried to communicate with the other party again, but received no response at all.

"Dog System—?"

"hiss--"

This time it wasn't a headache, but a stomachache, as if a boxer had punched you twice in the stomach.

Shen Sangwan gasped, wincing in pain as she curled up on the ground.

"I'm not cursing anymore, I'm not cursing anymore, I'll never curse again."

[System loading complete, please check, host.]

If Shen Sangwan hadn't experienced what happened before, she probably would have thought she was hallucinating from the pain.

With a little effort, he raised his hand and tapped the transparent "Confirm" button floating in front of him.

With a "whoosh," Shen Sangwan's mind exploded as countless pieces of information flooded into her consciousness.

[Master? Master? Are you alright?]

The system was no longer a cold, mechanical voice, but an urgent greeting.

Shen Sangwan felt that she might as well be dead; living like this was truly suffering!

Princess Shen Sangwan of the Southern Kingdom began learning martial arts from the palace instructors at the age of five and became well-versed in military strategy.

She went to the battlefield with General Liang at the age of ten, and became famous in one battle at the age of twelve, becoming the renowned female general of Nanjing, commanding 100,000 Yanmo troops.

There is a saying that describes them as "heroic figures wielding long spears, as the first rays of dawn illuminate the training ground."

"Let me tell you, I'm a useless 'second-generation rich kid' in this world. How could I possibly play the role of a female general who is just as capable as any man? I'd be exposed in a heartbeat and burned alive like a demon!"

My lord, how could you give up on yourself?

[Since the main system chose you, it must have its reasons. Besides, Master, you still have me by your side!]

Shen Sangwan forced a smile. "A system called 'Poaching'? Do you really think you're reliable?"

【Master, you mustn't underestimate me; I know a lot.】

"Oh—then tell me, how is my best friend Cen Yan? Is she still alive? Where is she?"

Shen Sangwan's drawn-out "Oh" revealed her doubt and clearly showed that she had no hope.

[Based on the master's brainwave detection, the other party's aura is sensed to be within a hundred miles of the master.]

〖 ？ ？ 〗

Good fellow, call good fellow.

"really?"

[Master, if the main system detects that you are lying, you will be punished!]

"Quickly, take me to her."

【Master, why don't you take a Vitality Pill first before thinking about anything else?】

Given Shen Sangwan's current state, the system is genuinely afraid she'll just die.

How do I get it?

[The master summoned the main menu in his mind, selected Items—Medicines—Urgent Needs—Confirm, and the selected item would appear in the master's hand.]

Shen Sangwan followed the system's instructions step by step. After clicking on "Vitality Pill," a prompt appeared with the medicine instructions at the top and a confirmation button below.

After glancing at the instructions, Shen Sangwan clicked "confirm" without hesitation.

With a "whoosh," a porcelain bottle appeared in her hand.

She pulled out the stopper and poured out a red pill, but the size of the pill made Shen Sangwan hesitate about whether to eat it.

She even suspected that the system was deliberately trying to trick her.

If it weren't for the wrong color, she would have thought the pill in her palm wasn't a life-saving pill, but rather a "black chicken and white phoenix pill".

"Um... there's no water around here, so we'll just have to chew it dry!"

Shen Sangwan hesitated for a moment, after all, she felt that the bright red pills wouldn't taste very good if chewed dry.

[There is spring water in the system; the master needs to find a container to obtain it.]

Shen Sangwan looked around and, with no other choice, picked a few large green leaves and stacked them in a circle, barely resembling a bowl.

Then summon the main page, click on Items—Liquids—Spring Water—Confirm.

The leaf bowl in my hand was instantly filled to the brim with spring water.

Shen Sangwan swallowed the red vitality pill without hesitation, and then gulped down spring water to take it down.

But he still almost choked to death on the pill.

"call--"

Shen Sangwan let out a long breath, immediately feeling light and refreshed.

[This dog—uh, cough cough—this system's stuff is pretty good!]

[Master, all items produced by the system are of the highest quality, and you can use all of them permanently and free of charge!]

Shen Sangwan belatedly realized, "Huh—? You can hear what I'm thinking?"

【...】

It felt that its host was not quite right in the head.

It clearly remembers that the main system's intelligence panel had reached "99+", so why didn't its host inherit any of the original princess's wisdom?

"Alright, alright, please take me to find my little Yan Yan, I'm scared!"

How embarrassing!

It wants to find a new host.

[Master, a group of about fifty people is approaching this way.]

"They're not here to kill me, are they?!"

[These are the Princess's men, here to find you, my lord.]

Shen Sangwan rubbed her forehead, feeling anxious.

She hasn't adapted to her new role yet. What if she messes up her acting?

Never mind, I'll just pretend to faint for now.

Without hesitation, he lay down quickly and smeared the still-wet blood from his armor onto his face.

The system then reclaimed its derivative and returned it to Shen Sangwan's consciousness.
