(Quick Transmigration) Small Cannon Fodder Has Great Power

The Dragon God's fame gradually spread wider and wider.

The Dragon God Temple is magnificent, with incense burning brightly and pilgrims coming and going in an endless stream, while the young Taoist priests are busy receiving them.

Lan stayed at the Taoist temple and became the face... no, the strength representative, guarding the Dragon God Temple. Although, in Gu Yunyun's eyes, Lan was just slacking off in a different place.

At this moment, Lan was standing by the carp pond in the Taoist temple, gracefully feeding the carp with a steamed bun.

The young female worshippers blushed and secretly sized up the Taoist priest, whose handsome appearance seemed otherworldly. One of the bolder girls approached him and asked, "Taoist priest, are you still a layman?"

Gu Yunyun and Mo Ze sat atop the highest tower of the Dragon God Temple, watching the bustling scene below. Gu Yunyun was very pleased with the daily increase in her faith points.

Mo Ze peeked at Gu Yunyun.

“I just remembered… there’s something we haven’t finished doing.”

“What…” Gu Yunyun turned to look at him.

As she turned around, Mo Ze bent down to meet her, cutting off her unfinished words.

···

Gu Yunyun stayed there for many more years.

Back in the starry sea where the plane jumps were taking place, Gu Yunyun's memory became blurry once again. Mo Ze's last words echoed in her ears before gradually fading away—"I will find you, no matter how many times you are reincarnated."

"Host, please prepare to receive data from the next world."

A matriarchal world?

Gu Yunyun has transmigrated to a matriarchal world this time. Rather than saying that women are superior to men, it is more accurate to say that the genders are reversed to a certain extent—women are in charge of external affairs, and men are in charge of internal affairs. Women admire fierceness and bravery, while men value gentleness and virtue, and generally wear makeup and jeweled skirts.

Fortunately, this world doesn't have anything as absurd as male pregnancy or men having periods. Gu Yunyun had read several female-dominated novels and was completely dumbfounded by the bizarre plots of male pregnancy, men having periods, and men crying out in pain and bleeding during their first time—where does male pregnancy come from? Where do menstrual blood and virgin blood come from... and so on.

Gu Yunyun found the sight of delicate men with pale faces, powdered skin, and swaying waists on the streets quite jarring. Therefore, the servants she hired in her mansion all looked more like men in the normal world, not effeminate. However, to outsiders in this world, they were all burly, ugly men.

By the way, Gu Yunyun's identity this time is the Empress's ninth daughter. To be honest, Gu Yunyun's exquisite and beautiful appearance seems rather "tomboyish" in this matriarchal world where female beauty is primarily based on masculinity and strength, thus she is not favored by the Empress. However, due to her unconventional appearance and her unassuming, carefree nature, she is the one the Emperor trusts the most among all the princesses.

···

"Oh, distinguished guests, please come in. A private room has been prepared for you. It's quiet and has a good view. When the general leads his personal guards back to the capital and passes through the main street, you'll have a clear view!"

Gu Yunyun followed a few friends upstairs and sat down, automatically ignoring the excited mutterings of the system in her mind, "Finally, I can see the male lead!"

In this world, Gu Yunyun's mission target is Zhong Simiao, the son of the General Who Protects the Nation.

Zhong Simiao was a legendary son of a military family. In this matriarchal world where men were generally confined to their boudoirs, he guarded the border with his mother and several older sisters, achieving numerous military exploits. However, he could not escape marriage in the end.

The daughter of a minor official, who was betrothed to Zhong Simiao, disliked him intensely. She felt ashamed to be forced to marry a man more feminine than herself, but she could not disobey the imperial decree. Therefore, after the marriage, she demanded that Zhong Simiao not show his face in public as before, let alone talk about going to war. The male general who could have become a legendary general was thus crippled by worldly conventions and wasted his life in the inner quarters.

Gu Yunyun's mission is to protect this male general, help him shine, and become a legendary war god who will be remembered in history.

"Thanks to the Ninth Princess's blessing, we've experienced firsthand what it means to have a carriage overflowing with flowers and fruits," the Grand Tutor's daughter said with a smile, tapping her palm with her folding fan.

"Hey, don't make fun of me."

"Oh, how can this be called making fun of you? Your reputation as the Jade-Faced Lady is renowned throughout our Great Yu Kingdom, hahaha."

To explain the shameful nickname of this beautiful woman, we must mention a time when a neighboring country came to pay their respects, intending to ask for a prince from the Yu Kingdom to marry their princess. However, at the banquet, the neighboring princess was so captivated by Gu Yunyun that she didn't even realize that this fairy-like beauty was not a prince but a princess. As soon as the banquet ended, she went to the emperor to ask for his hand in marriage, which naturally led to a laughing stock.

When the princess from the neighboring country learned of her blunder, she felt regretful but quickly praised the emperor, saying things like, "Your country is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and the Ninth Princess's face is as beautiful as jade, which truly amazes this ignorant person." From then on, the Ninth Princess's reputation for having a handsome face and being like an immortal spread far and wide.

Although Gu Yunyun's exquisite and beautiful appearance was criticized by some stubborn people for her "singing in a stilted voice," she was still quite popular among young men.

"I heard that the recent beauty rankings have crowned our Empress Yun as the most beautiful woman in the Yu Kingdom, and she's said to have won far more votes than all the handsome young men," someone teased.

"Speaking of the most beautiful woman, the previous one was Consort Chun, the biological father of the eldest princess."

The daughter of the Imperial Censor, known for her outspokenness, couldn't help but frown and say, "If it weren't for Consort Chun's immense favor with the Emperor back then, and her passing away at the height of his favor, making her the apple of his eye and causing him to dote on and indulge the Eldest Princess all these years, the Eldest Princess wouldn't have been able to rival the Crown Princess in court, or even subtly suppress her..."

"Ahem, let's not talk about politics, let's not talk about politics. We're here to have fun today, why are we talking about these things?"

"That's right, as you can see, a lot of people have already gathered outside, waiting to see the General Zhenguo return to the capital."

"Everyone isn't really waiting to see the Duke of Zhenguo; they're clearly more curious about that legendary male general."

The ladies of the official family all became interested when the topic of this male general came up.

"This son of the Duke of Zhenguo has been stationed at the border with the general for many years. I remember he was just a boy when he left the capital. Can you guess what this general looks like now?"

"She's probably a dark-skinned, strong woman who's been exposed to the wind and sun at the border."

"In a little while, surrounded by women in the army, they probably won't be able to tell which one is the young male officer, hahaha..."

"I heard he's in his twenties, right? And he's still not married?"

"Let alone in her twenties, even in her teens when she's in the prime of her youth, what noble lady would dare to marry such a fierce, fake woman..."

Gu Yunyun frowned slightly upon hearing these teasing remarks about the son of a general. "Although the young general is a man... with a frail body, his years of fighting on the battlefield and serving the country are truly admirable. It is no exaggeration to call him a hero. We should not make jokes about his appearance and private affairs."

"Ninth Princess, you're still so serious... Speaking of which, you're seventeen this year, and there's hardly anyone in your harem yet. Why don't you consider finding a servant to attend to you?"

Gu Yunyun thought that she couldn't stand the delicate men in the matriarchal world, so she made up an excuse: "Those young men... are not as good-looking as me. I'd rather look in the mirror."

The ladies burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Ninth Princess, you're really funny, but I can't refute you."

"You're already the most beautiful woman in the Yu Kingdom. There probably aren't any young men more handsome than you. You can't stay unmarried forever, can you?"

Gu Yunyun replied naturally, "Since I can't find anyone more handsome than me, I'll just find an extraordinary man."

The noble ladies laughed even harder, "What an extraordinary man! Don't you think that male general is an extraordinary man...?"

Before Gu Yunyun could answer, someone suddenly shouted, "They're here! The general is coming!"

The noble ladies all went to the window and peered out.

Gu Yunyun spotted the mission target from afar in the crowd.

A stern-faced young man with wheat-colored skin, clad in armor, sat upright on horseback, following his mother and several older sisters, with a retinue of personal guards behind them. The troops had just returned from the battlefield, still exuding an aura of grim determination. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high-bridged nose, and strikingly handsome features. His hair was tied up high with a crown, just like the female soldiers in the ranks.

Gu Yunyun felt that her eyes, which had been stung by the sight of delicate, shy, and heavily made-up young men since she transmigrated to this matriarchal world, had finally been cleansed.

She couldn't help but exclaim to the system, "The young general is so damn handsome..."

"Yes, yes," the system readily agreed.

The noble ladies beside them watched and discussed it with great interest.

"It looks better than I expected."

"But at first glance, she really looks like a woman. She's all hard and stiff, lacking any delicate masculinity..."
