Holding the script, I want to give up.

Inside Xingyun Palace, Shangguan Zitong, dressed in her undergarments and holding a pillow, sat opposite Liu Yunwan.

"So, sister, you..."

"I want to be quiet."

Liu Yunwan was torn between whether or not to be completely honest, and how to explain herself.

Shangguan Zitong tossed the pillow aside, lay down on Liu Yunwan's lap, and comfortably squinted her eyes.

"Let me start. I was reincarnated, and I have the same name as in the original world. In the original world, after graduating from university, I was in a car accident with my girlfriends during a road trip..."

Seeing that Liu Yunwan was still hesitating, Shangguan Zitong continued, "The system I'm bound to is called Ali, level 85. It told me that as long as I complete all the tasks it issues, I can return to my original world."

Seeing that Liu Yunwan was still thinking, she added, "I asked the system about our ending—I am an unknown variable, and perhaps I can help you get rid of the predetermined ending."

As Liu Yunwan's thoughts returned, she heard Shangguan Zitong spill everything out, revealing her chaotic state of mind. She sighed almost imperceptibly.

"Things aren't as simple as you think. Mu Rongyi is a reincarnated person. Have you ever thought about why there would be two systems in one world?"

"I know he was reborn. Can't the systems each do their own tasks and not interfere with each other?"

"Forget it, let's talk about the future later. Let's go over the script together."

"Okay, in the script you f***ing holy shit"

"I'll give it a try; your fate will be ***."

This is ridiculous! It spoils nothing at all. Okay, okay, is this how you play it?

Shangguan Zitong and Liu Yunwan tried various methods but could not let each other know the other's ending in the script! They even summoned their respective systems to confront each other.

"Ahri/Dragon, please explain."

"You are not authorized to ask this question," both systems replied simultaneously.

"very good."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Zitong was furious, thinking: "Destroy it! Let whoever wants to do this task do it." Liu Yunwan continued to ponder.

"Zi Tong, my character is vicious, so I can't be out of character, otherwise there will be punishment."

"What kind of punishment would make you so diligent?" Shangguan Zitong asked curiously.

“Mild OOC results in loss of the five senses; severe OOC means being unable to return home,” Liu Yunwan sighed.

"Damn, that's so despicable."

"But it's okay, my personality is similar to the original owner's, so no one else will find out."

"You can't be out of character (OOC), but I was reborn as a transmigrator and I can!"

"The original owner of this body drowned when he was ten years old, but no one noticed that the soul in this body had already been replaced. It's really tragic."

Why did he fall into the water?

"That's normal. The various powers in different countries are deeply intertwined; on the surface, everything appears peaceful, but underneath, they are all vying for power..."

When Shangguan Zitong woke up, she still felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. She reached around to touch herself; no one was there, and there was no warmth. She thought to herself, "Why do I have to work the early shift in ancient times?" She got up and stretched. Seeing this, the maids outside filed in to help her wash and change...

Shangguan Zitong was very satisfied with this kind of nanny-level service in ancient times, letting the maids do her hair and makeup as they pleased...

"Where is your eldest princess? Why can't we see her?" "Your Highness, the eldest princess has gone to Beiji for peace talks on behalf of Xizhao."

Why Beiji?

Shangguan Zitong looked completely bewildered.

"At present, Bei Ji is the most respected of the four countries, and the other three countries need to send envoys to Bei Ji to conduct peace talks."

Hearing Bei Ji's voice, he finally realized something was wrong.

"System, where is the male lead now?"

【Oh dear, host, you've remembered now.】

[A year after you left Nanning, the Southern Emperor discovered that the spy was from the Northern Ji royal family. When the truth was exposed, the Northern Ji, in order to silence public opinion, sent the male lead as a hostage to Nanning. The Southern Emperor then passed this hot potato to the General's Mansion...]

"Damn, nobody told me!"

You didn't ask.

"..."

Shangguan Zitong pulled her head back and looked at the person in the mirror, lost in thought.

"Did your princess give me any instructions before she left?"

"Your Highness, no."

"What about the spies in Nanning?"

The maid who was doing Shangguan Zitong's hair trembled almost imperceptibly and quickly knelt down to pay her respects, thinking: The princess has given instructions, I must not say anything.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I am just a lowly maid and do not know the details."

"Oh, get up, you can continue to do my hair and makeup." Shangguan Zitong irritably picked up a strand of hair and played with it, thinking: Let's see how you explain this when you get back.

After finishing her makeup, Shangguan Zitong got up and wandered aimlessly around the palace, eventually heading towards the servants' quarters! Her heart was with the cunning Liu Yunwan, and her feet had already stepped into the courtyard.

Before Mu Rongyi even stepped into the courtyard, she noticed the absent-minded Shangguan Zitong. Feeling like teasing her, she quietly followed behind her, pretending to be a ghost.

"The little princess of Nanning?"

"Holy crap, why do you walk so silently?"

Shangguan Zitong was startled by the sudden appearance of the person and took two steps back. Mu Rongyi thought to herself, "This little princess is really not easily frightened, unlike Liu Yunwan."

What is "Holy shit"?

"The sink in the bedroom."

Looking at Mu Rongyi's inquisitive eyes, Shangguan Zitong spoke nonsense with a straight face.

"Then why install a sink in the bedroom?"

"I got thirsty in the middle of the night, so I drank some."

"Then why not..."

"Stop, you're asking too many questions. Are you even healed yet?"

Shangguan Zitong sighed and thought to herself: Do I look like a walking encyclopedia of questions? I'm more like someone who just makes things up.

"Well, much better, thank you."

"You're welcome, it's all thanks to Sister Liu." Shangguan Zitong wanted to win over Mu Rongyi Ke's favor towards Liu Yunwan, so she continued seriously, "The medicinal herbs in that medicine are very hard to find. Sister Liu sent people to travel thousands of miles to collect them and then condensed them into just a few bottles, and she gave them all to you. I don't even get this kind of treatment."

"Oh, really? Then how do you explain all these injuries I have, or why didn't she hit you?"

"...It's all for your own good."

"Ah!"

"System, give me a martial arts manual."

You seem to know how to order me around quite well. Here, take it.

"Well, this is a martial arts manual that Sister Liu specially found for you. She has to go on a long trip. You must master all the contents within this month, otherwise you will be beaten badly. I have to go now."

Shangguan Zitong pulled a martial arts manual from her sleeve and tossed it to Mu Rongyi. Then, as if chased by a ghost, she turned and ran without looking back. She thought to herself: "Oh dear, this is troublesome. Another problem child! Heavens above, earth below, someone save me!"

Mu Rongyi's red pomegranate skirt gradually shrank until it became blurry. With a cold snort, she casually threw away the martial arts manual and returned to the woodshed to continue meditating and practicing.

......

While Liu Yunwan was away, Shangguan Zitong either went to visit Liu Qikang or went out of the palace to have fun, forgetting all about returning home.

"Yue Ai, why are you following me?"

"Your Highness, the Eldest Princess has asked me to stay and take care of you."

"Oh, is she coming back soon?"

"Your Highness, it will be soon."

Shangguan Zitong idly swung on the swing to kill time.

"Here...!" Yue Ai, who was pushing the swing, was interrupted by Liu Yunwan before she could finish saying her greetings to the Princess.

Liu Yunwan stepped back and stood motionless, watching the person swinging on the swing.

"Yue Ai, why did you stop pushing?"

When Shangguan Zitong saw the swing stop, she wanted to turn around to see what was going on, but her eyes were covered by a pair of slender hands!

"Guess who I am."

"Of course it's Sister Liu."

Liu Yunwan intended to tease Shangguan Zitong with her deep, mature voice, but her plan was foiled, leaving her with no choice but to give up.

"How do you know it's me?"

"Your hands are so delicate," Shangguan Zitong said proudly, then, remembering how Liu Yunwan had kept her in the dark, she became angry again and said, "Don't you have anything to say? Like about the spy in Nanning?"

"I'm sorry, I kept it from you because I was afraid that if you went back, my mission would be marked as incomplete."

"So, your villainous persona includes me too?"

"I'm sorry, it won't happen again."

"Are you even sincere? You said the same thing last time," Shangguan Zitong said speechlessly.

"As compensation, I'll take you out to play, don't be angry."

"Alright then, I'll reluctantly forgive you."
