After transmigrating into the book, I helped my mother reconcile with her divorced husband.

"I'm not sick, I don't need Miss Lu to take my pulse!" Xiao Yebai shook off her hand: "Besides, I don't think Miss Lu knows how to take a pulse!"

Underestimating her? Staring at the face that was exactly the same as that of the young Ye Bai, Lu Zhiyuan rolled up her sleeves.

Upon seeing the two pale arms, Xiao Yebai subconsciously turned away. Lu Zhiyuan thought he was about to leave and grabbed his shoulders: "You didn't even let me examine you, how do you know I can't? My master is a divine doctor, I've learned at least 99% of his skills from him."

Xiao Yebai glanced at her hand: "Does the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion not know that men and women should not touch each other?"

Lu Zhiyuan laughed, deliberately teasing him: "I know, at worst I'll marry you! Even though you're just a hostage, you're good-looking, so I won't be at a disadvantage."

Xiao Yebai had never met anyone like this before; their skin was so thick it was unbelievable for a girl. She shifted her shoulder, causing her hand to slide down, and said coldly, "I'm the one who suffered!"

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at herself. Although the original owner was skinny and hadn't fully grown up, with Lu Huai and Xie Chaoyun's genes, she would be an unparalleled beauty no matter how she grew. Fair-skinned, beautiful, skilled in medicine, in autopsies, and even in murder—what could he possibly complain about?

She wrinkled her nose, gave a soft snort, and looked at his back.

The original text doesn't describe Xiao Yebai much. It only mentions that he was rescued by Lu Jinyao, escaped from Beiliang with the help of Lu Jinyao and Prince Yue, returned to Nan Chu after many hardships, and finally obtained the throne of Nan Chu after several life-and-death experiences.

That year, he was twenty-five years old, which is still more than a decade ago.

Because of Lu Jinyao, Xiao Yebai, after ascending the throne, made a hundred-year pact with Beiliang. There was no marriage alliance, no war, and the border trade flourished. The Beiliang emperor also looked at Prince Yue differently because of the pact, and soon made him the crown prince. Lu Jinyao went from being the princess of Yue to the crown princess, and gave birth to her second child for Prince Yue, thus having both a son and a daughter.

The original storyline revolves around Lu Huai and Ji Wanwan. Childhood sweethearts, forced apart by social class differences, they reunite in Weinan and are reconciled. Because the author focuses on their complicated, restrained, and unrequited love, readers overlook a crucial point: when Lu Huai and Ji Wanwan reunite, they are already married to their respective spouses.

Let alone the strict social norms of ancient times, even in modern times, that would be considered marital infidelity.

To whitewash them, the author gave Ji Wanwan's husband, Zhu Guozhi, the identity of a subordinate of the Prince of Yong'an, and had him die under mysterious circumstances. Ji Wanwan went from a married woman to a weak and innocent woman whose husband was murdered, who was bullied and ostracized by her in-laws, and who was only saved by her childhood sweetheart. Meanwhile, her mother, Lu Huaiming's lawfully wedded wife, became a wicked first wife who bullied others and could not tolerate her husband's affair with his childhood sweetheart, ultimately leading to the destruction of her family.

It must be said that the original author's values ​​are very distorted; he only sees love as a matter of life and death, and has no regard for morality or ethics.

The reader found the story enjoyable because she identified with the character of an assassin. Only after becoming cannon fodder in the story did she realize how utterly repulsive the main couple was.

The text does not explain whether Prince Yue inherited the throne, but based on the original storyline, it can be inferred that he will ascend to that supreme position and be with Lu Jinyao, the second female lead, for life.

The plot has now undergone a dramatic change. She and her mother are not dead, the Xie family is not destroyed, Lu Huai's protagonist halo has disappeared, and Ji Wanwan has become an outcast. Even the system doesn't know how the story will develop from here. In the system's words, this is a completely new instance, with related characters but no related story. All the stories must be created and written by themselves until they write a new story and make it happy. Only then can she escape from this book world.

She sighed and turned her gaze back to Xiao Yebai.

Being in a good position gives one an advantage. Although she didn't know the circumstances or reasons why Lu Jinyao saved Xiao Yebai in the original story, or how she helped him escape from the Northern Liang palace, since the plot had taken care of her and sent her to Xiao Yebai's side before Lu Jinyao, she couldn't just let this opportunity slip by.

She is the one who bestows kindness, she is the one who is the white moonlight, and when she wanted the two countries to stop the war, the biggest beneficiary was the Xie family.

Having made up her mind, she smiled with narrowed eyes, and ran up to Xiao Yebai with her hands behind her back: "Consider it Your Highness's fault. Why don't you let me take a look? If I'm wrong, Your Highness can punish me as you see fit. If I'm right, Your Highness will have to listen to me and let me treat the illness."

Xiao Yebai glanced at her, stepped back, turned, and walked past her. Lu Zhiyuan panicked and reached out to hug him, saying, "How can a prince like you avoid seeking medical help?"

Xiao Yebai froze: "Let go!"

He dislikes getting close to people, especially strangers!

Lu Zhiyuan sensed it and, caught up in the mischief, hugged him even tighter, muttering, "I won't let go, I just won't let go, unless you let me take your pulse."

Xiao Yebai remained silent, his eyes filled with disgust. He grabbed her fingers and twisted them forcefully. Lu Zhiyuan had anticipated this and released her grip in time. However, the original owner of this body was too weak and had underestimated the difference in strength between her and Xiao Yebai. She lost her balance and stumbled, injuring her hand.

Xiao Yebai did not turn around and entered the side hall. Lu Zhiyuan, covering her cut hand, chased after him, but was shut out with a "bang".

Having transmigrated into the book for so long, this was the first time she had been treated like this, and Lu Zhiyuan couldn't help but touch her nose.

It's just a hug, is it really that big of a deal?

Besides, she's only eight years old. At that age, let alone hugging her, even if they slept in the same bed, people would only say that the brother and sister have a good relationship, and they would never think of anything else.

Her eyes darted around, and she pounded on the door, saying, "Your Highness, are you running so fast because you're shy? I knew I was so good-looking, Your Highness couldn't possibly not like me. How about I ask the Empress to grant us a marriage, and you come with me to the General's Mansion to be a live-in son-in-law?"

The door was pulled open from the inside, revealing a face that appeared expressionless but was actually fuming with rage.

Xiao Yebai stared into her eyes and said in a calm, monotone voice, "Miss Lu!"

"Your eyes—"

Lu Zhiyuan moved closer, and Xiao Yebai instinctively tried to back away, but she pressed his shoulder down. She stood on tiptoe and carefully examined his eyes. Her uniquely feminine fragrance wafted onto his face, making him slightly uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to push her away, he suddenly heard her say in a surprised voice, "Your eyes are blue, so beautiful. Did you inherit them from the King of Southern Chu? If I marry you, will our children also have such beautiful eyes?"

Are his eyes beautiful?

No one has ever said that before. They say he is a monster, that his eyes will bring endless disasters.

Every time Consort Jin beat him, she would use his eyes as an excuse.

"Miss Lu, have you seen enough?"

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to stare at you.” Lu Zhiyuan landed on her tiptoes. “I just think your eyes are exceptionally beautiful, like a deep blue sea, both mysterious and alluring. Does Nan Chu have a sea? The kind that’s very, very deep.”
