She became a god

This winter was not peaceful. First, the mausoleum of the founding emperor and empress of the Great Yan Dynasty collapsed due to the influence of an earth dragon.

Immediately following this, rumors began to circulate, pointing out that the current emperor's ascension to the throne was illegitimate, that he had no male heir, and that the foundation of the country was unstable.

Fortunately, Princess Chen fasted and worshipped Zhao Ji, and received divine gifts of jewels to aid the victims affected by the earthquake.

For a time, Princess Chen enjoyed extremely high popularity in the court and among the common people, even surpassing that of the emperor.

Even the Empress Dowager, who had retired to her palace, specially summoned her granddaughter.

To outsiders, the Crown Princess's residence was a glamorous and bustling place.

Ye Qingzhou knew that if he made a single mistake, tens of thousands of people would be reduced to ashes.

When Qi Zhanying last visited her, she discovered that Wen Xichun was missing. She sent several more bodyguards to replace her, but no longer allowed her to leave the mansion.

Ye Qingzhou knew that things were starting to get chaotic outside.

As the year draws to a close, people from the Prince of Jin's and Prince of Guang's residences become more active, frequently appearing at banquets in the capital.

Today, there is an interesting story between the two mansions. It is said that Yao Niang from the Guangwang Mansion and Lian Ji from the Jinwang Mansion fell into the water together and are still unconscious.

In a small courtyard of the Prince of Jin's residence, the woman opened her eyes and, upon seeing the familiar decorations, her eyes revealed a look of madness.

"Heavens! You've been so cruel to Shui Lian! Why did you make me a stepping stone for the female protagonist in a time-traveling novel?"

It's my body, so why can't I go back?

Zhou Changsheng is already dead, so why does this storybook still want to restrict me?

When spring arrives and the flowers bloom, I can't wait any longer!

Shui Lian was devastated, but she dared not raise her voice, fearing that it would attract attention and she would be burned at the stake as a demon.

But how could ordinary people understand the bitterness in her heart?

Think of Shui Lian, who was born with a birthmark and whose appearance was ridiculed by the world, yet she still had family who loved her and sisters who doted on her.

Unfortunately, she became the cannon fodder original body in "Ugly Betty: The Scholar Husband's Gentle Pampering". According to the original plot, she was an ugly, troublesome, and fragile female supporting character who married Zhou Changsheng, a scholar, by taking advantage of her biased cousin who was a female official.

On her wedding night, she attempted to force herself on him, but she stumbled and fell to her death. When she woke up, she had become Yao Yiyi, a transmigrated heroine.

Yao Yiyi is proficient in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. After transmigrating, she makes a fortune by producing gourmet food, soap, and glass.

She was also hardworking and capable, filial to her parents-in-law, and took care of Zhou Changsheng, which made everyone in the Zhou family put aside their grudges against her and she became a good daughter-in-law praised by everyone.

Later, she recovered from the ugly spot, gave birth to four big, healthy sons for the Zhou family, and lived happily ever after with Zhou Changsheng.

This ending may be a happy one for Yao Yiyi, but for Shui Lian it's nothing short of torture.

Although she was ugly, her family was wealthy, she owned several acres of land, and she had a younger sister who was an official.

She's living a very comfortable life, so why would she like Zhou Changsheng, who judges people by their looks? She's not crazy.

Besides, her sister is so good to her, why would she want to put her sister in a bad light and make her look like she's seducing her brother-in-law?

Shui Lian really wanted to find out the original author and slap this storyteller a few times.

Grandma is naturally strong and a master at farming. Why should I, instead of being a small landlord in my own family, become someone else's wife and beg for a living?

Shui Lian disliked the arrangement of the storybook, but the power of the storybook was so strong that she acted like a puppet according to the plot.

He lived in a daze until the day he married Zhou Changsheng.

Shui Lian bit her tongue, and with her last remaining sense of consciousness, she took out a pair of scissors and stabbed Zhou Changsheng viciously.

Since everything in the story serves the male and female protagonists, let's have the female protagonist kill the male protagonist before the female protagonist arrives.

After the male lead dies, she will go crazy and pretend to be stupid.

Shui Lian believed that her sister Shui Xian would definitely find a way to get her out of prison.

Shui Lian used all the strength she had ever had. To ensure success, she had eaten her fill at every meal for the past few days, and her head was clear. She was about to stab Zhou Changsheng's carotid artery.

She slipped and fell without any warning.

Blood gushed from the back of her head. As she drifted off to consciousness, she seemed to hear a voice: "NPC behavior is abnormal. Please handle this incident in a vague manner."

After her soul drifted away, she watched as Yao Yiyi used her body to please the Zhou family, using the dowry money her family had saved for her.

She overheard Yao Yiyi scolding her family for being biased, and for her sister Bai Lian being unwilling to help the Zhou family.

The Shui family is so wealthy, why can't they give their in-laws some money?

In that storybook, the upright, kind, and loving transmigrated heroine Yao Yiyi was so biased towards Zhou Changsheng's family, regarding the Shui family as snobbish and materialistic.

They completely ignored the harm that Zhou Changsheng's resolute decision to break off his engagement after passing the imperial examination and his insane reaction to his inability to accept that his beloved was the ugly Shui Lian caused to the Shui family, especially Shui Lian.

Shui Lian felt disgusted looking at the sweet romance and face-slapping tags in the storybook.

She had tried many times to enter Zhou Changsheng and Yao Yiyi's dreams to scare them to death, but she found that she couldn't get close to them at all.

Yao Yiyi, that wicked woman who usurped the place, even wanted to hire someone to perform a ritual to get rid of her.

But she didn't drift around for nothing all these years; she did manage to cultivate some magical power.

The heavy resentment she felt allowed her to cast some minor spells, and under her influence, Zhou Changsheng poisoned Yao Yiyi.

Seeing that Yao Yiyi was about to be poisoned to death, Shui Lian was overjoyed. Once she regained her body, she immediately went to sue Zhou Changsheng for murdering his wife.

Consider the vast fortune those despicable people have earned as compensation for themselves.

But she never expected that while Yao Yiyi's soul was asleep, a man would wake up inside her body.

A man also woke up on Zhou Changsheng's body.

The two men knew each other. They were strange, speaking words she didn't understand, just like Yao Yiyi, but in a different way.

The two men always referred to each other as "Daoist partners," as if they were legendary cultivators.

But if there truly are gods in this world, why do they ignore her?

Is it just because she's a nobody?

Later, Shui Lian discovered that gods truly exist in the world.

The deity drove away the two men's souls and said to her, "The time is not yet ripe. When spring arrives and flowers bloom, you and Yao will return to where you belong."

Shui Lian watched as Yao Yiyi woke up again in her body, but this time, she could no longer follow the physical body, but instead came into the body of a woman named Lian Ji.

Lianji was a pitiful person. She was the daughter of an official, but her whole family was convicted and she was forced into slavery. She was taken as a concubine by the Prince of Jin. She was pregnant with a son, but she fell into a lotus pond and drowned.

Before Lian Ji's soul departed, she entrusted her with avenging Lian Ji.

Shui Lian agreed, but to her surprise, Lian Ji's request was to kill the Prince of Jin.

Prince Jin, the one who saved Lian Ji but also harmed her entire family.

"Everyone in the manor envies my good fortune, for I am favored by the prince, but I do not love the prince at all."

I hate him. I knew all along that he was the one who framed my family and caused their downfall.

How ridiculous! He reduced me from a noble lady to a lowly slave, took advantage of my body, and then expected me to be grateful.

By what right? Just because he's in a higher position, does that mean he doesn't care about the lives of us lower-ranking people?

I want him dead! I want everyone who has bullied me to suffer!

Yes, the reason that storyteller portrayed himself as cannon fodder and the Shui family as villains is because the storyteller considered himself a superior who could manipulate the lives of these insignificant people at will.

However, even ordinary people have the courage and strength to defy fate.
