Quick Transmigration: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack, A Guide to Cunning Strat

Seventy years is a long time, more than 25,000 days, and more than 600,000 hours.

Seventy years is a short time; there's only enough time to say seventy good mornings and seventy good nights.

After they got together, Feng Yueze rarely went to do those exciting activities anymore. The only time he did was when Lin Shuwan begged him to try them out, and he couldn't resist and agreed.

However, after Lin Shuwan experienced it, he never agreed again.

In his words, they had already missed nearly a third of their lives, and he wanted to spend the remaining two-thirds with her, not a single year, day, or second less.

Over the course of more than seventy years, they have argued and blushed, but whenever they look at each other, they always soften and give in.

Gradually, the arguments stopped.

They also maintained the habit of keeping a diary, which recorded fragments of their lives over the past seventy years—the trivial, the sweet, the angry, and the unforgettable.

Time may fade everything, but the traces left behind can last a long time.

Later, with their consent, their daughter wrote their diary entries about their loving daily life into a novel, making the nearly seventy-year-old couple popular online once again.

……

Welcome home! I achieved another S rating in the last world! Yay! (Applause)

Lin Shuwan sealed away the memories and emotions in her mind, paused for a moment, and said:

(Let's move on to the next task.)

Alright, entering the fifth world.

……

My first impression was cold, very cold, bone-chillingly cold.

I opened my eyes to find myself in ancient times, surrounded by harsh conditions. The quilt on the bed was patched, thin, and damp, offering little warmth and barely keeping me warm against the wind.

The house was dilapidated and had very little furniture, just a table and two benches.

The only table there was unstable, its corners propped up with stones; it wobbled even without being touched. On the table sat a kettle and a cup, both chipped.

There was a window on the right, with a hole in it, which had been covered with paper. But it couldn't withstand the wind and broke again.

The wind outside howled in, carrying snow with it, and it was extremely cold.

The wooden door had several cracks, and the wind and snow kept battering it, making it creak and groan. It was so heavy that it looked like it would collapse if the wind picked up any more.

Lin Shuwan's body was already so cold that it was stiff, and she felt a slight fever and itching.

(Does the store sell blankets?)

Upon arriving in this small world and seeing the surrounding environment and the original owner's situation, Qiqi immediately began searching in the system shop.

Yes, yes, I'll open it for you.

The system store also has a wide variety of blankets, including those that keep you warm and protected from the cold, those that cool you down, and even those that are invulnerable to knives and bullets and those that make you invisible.

【Wanwan, how about this one? It's warm, and it can easily change shape. You can simply cover your current blanket with it, and it can be retracted when you leave, so no one will notice.】

(OK.)

After clicking to purchase and spending 100 points, Lin Shuwan's tattered, cotton-padded quilt instantly began to heat up, gradually rising to a comfortable temperature. Her body came back to life, and a feeling of hunger surged within her.

The original owner hadn't eaten for days, and now her stomach was rumbling.

Lin Shuwan searched in the store again and found a universal lunchbox that could produce whatever she wanted to eat. It had a built-in cleaning function and utensils, could be used indefinitely, and could be stored in the system when not in use. It was very convenient and cost 100 points.

After clicking to purchase, the remaining points will become [amount missing].

With the lunchbox in her hand, Lin Shuwan ate half a bowl of hot soup noodles, not daring to eat too much. When she felt she had eaten enough, she forced herself to stop eating.

After satisfying her physical needs, Lin Shuwan finally had the mood to learn about the original owner's situation.

(Qiqi, let's begin the story progression.)

[Okay.]

During the Li Dynasty, a grand election was held every five years. Officials of the fifth rank or above who had daughters were required to send one of their daughters to the palace for the selection.

The original owner of the body, Liu Shuwan, was the daughter of a poor family, and this selection of concubines had nothing to do with her.

Unexpectedly, when she was fourteen years old, she was spotted by a fourth-rank official while selling food with her father.

This official also had a daughter named Song Xihe, who was of marriageable age and needed to enter the palace for selection.

If one were selected to enter the palace, one would naturally enjoy wealth and honor, and would also be able to support one's maternal family, which would be an extremely glorious thing.

However, the current emperor was tyrannical and cruel, capricious, fond of killing for pleasure, and averse to women.

Song Xihe was unwilling to enter the palace, and the official, who also loved his daughter, was reluctant to see her suffer if she were chosen to enter the palace.

Just when he was troubled and could not find a solution, he happened to see Liu Shuwan on the street one day. She was extremely beautiful and looked about five points similar to his daughter, but her features were even more striking.

After he sent people to inquire about Liu Shuwan's family background, he used her parents as leverage to force her to enter the palace under the name of Song Xihe.

Liu Shuwan had no choice but to agree, and could only hope that she wouldn't be chosen.

The current Empress Dowager is devoted to Buddhism and does not concern herself with worldly affairs. All matters, large and small, in the palace are decided jointly by Consort De and Consort Shu, but the two were at odds even when they were still young.

Consort Shu's family background was slightly inferior, but her appearance far surpassed that of Consort De. She often used this to subtly mock Consort De for being virtuous but lacking in beauty, which naturally made Consort De resentful.

Liu Shuwan and Consort Shu both belong to the gentle and tender type of Jiangnan, but Liu Shuwan is more lively, younger and more innocent, and her unrefined nature is exquisite in every way.

Consort De deliberately kept Liu Shuwan's name on the list and bestowed upon her the title of Lady Song, in order to spite Consort Shu.

Consort Shu was no pushover either. Although she couldn't stop Liu Shuwan from entering the palace, she was capable of intervening in how Liu Shuwan was arranged after she entered the palace.

He deliberately placed her in his palace, but after only two days, he fabricated a crime against her and threw her into the cold palace.

This matter was of no consequence to Consort De. In short, she had successfully annoyed Consort Shu. As for whether Liu Shuwan lived or died in the Cold Palace, what did it have to do with her?

The imperial harem is a place where the fittest survive and the powerful are favored over the weak.

Once you're in the Cold Palace, it's hard to get out. Plus, Liu Shuwan went in without even meeting the Emperor, so there's basically no hope of ever getting out in this lifetime. Of course, even if she did meet the Emperor, it probably wouldn't make a difference. Given the Emperor's temperament, she might die even sooner.

In the end, Liu Shuwan died that winter, perhaps from starvation or freezing; in any case, no one knew when she died.

When the weather warmed up and someone finally remembered that there was still a beauty in the cold palace, her corpse had long since rotted and smelled bad.

The eunuchs and palace maids who found her cursed and carried her body to a mass grave, ending her short life.

The original owner's wish was quite simple: she only hoped to avoid dying in the cold palace and to die peacefully in her old age.

[Ding! Mission issued: Leave the Cold Palace, die peacefully of old age, 2000 points; Maintain character (optional): Kindness, 1000 points.]
