The male lead went insane after the female supporting character gave birth to the main villain'

"Does every world have side quests?" Su Yan asked, her brow furrowed.

"Actually, not every small world has side quests. Sometimes there may be none, sometimes there may be one, sometimes there may be two, and at most there may be three."

"So, how many side quests are there in this small world?"

"Two. Both are tasks for which the original owner sacrificed her soul to exchange. The first one is for us to save her brother Su Zhan so that the direct bloodline of the Su family can continue."

"Secondly, she wants us to take revenge on Qin Yang, to ensure that he will never get the throne he wants, and to ruin his reputation and make him despised by the world."

"These are the only two requests she has?"

"She originally made a whole bunch of requests, but she doesn't have much merit and her soul quality is average, so she doesn't meet the conditions for making a third request." The system's voice carried a hint of disdain.

Su Yan asked curiously, "System, if I were to sacrifice my soul, what are some of my requests?"

"One."

"Why? At least I didn't, like the original owner, take my enemy as my lover, and even caused the death of a wise and ambitious monarch, accelerating the empire's downfall, plunging the world into chaos, and causing immense suffering. How am I not as good as the original owner?"

Su Yan was extremely puzzled. Although she rarely went out during her lifetime, she had never done anything immoral or illegal.

She even died saving a little kid. That's not a great act of merit, but it shouldn't be inferior to the original owner, right?

The system was also puzzled. "I don't know. I can only judge based on the merit light carried by the soul, not on your experiences in life."

Unable to understand, he quickly forgot about the matter once he unified the country.

"Host, to what extent do you plan to adjust your body data?"

"Let me check the original owner's physical data first."

The original owner's body and personality were somewhat like Lin Daiyu's; she was just as frail and sickly, and just as sentimental, only her appearance was not as beautiful as Lin Daiyu's as described in Dream of the Red Chamber.

To adjust one's physique and appearance, one can only make adjustments based on the existing foundation; otherwise, if the difference is too great, people will suspect that one is a monster.

Furthermore, considering that Qin Yan will be betrayed by his birth mother and his current wife in the future, and will also be persecuted by his stepmother, the plot also suggests that Qin Yan will be betrayed by his birth mother and his current wife, and will also be persecuted by his stepmother.

These three women have caused Qin Yan a severe psychological trauma, so severe that he feels physically nauseous whenever a woman gets close to him!

Later on, not only could the original owner of this body cross the three-meter distance rule he set, but even the concubines in his harem could not cross this rule.

The original owner was only allowed to get within three meters of Qin Yan because of her father and brother; it had nothing to do with her as a person.

Therefore, it's impossible to get information from Qin Yan's preferences.

However, this also has its advantages, namely that Su Yan can freely adjust the body and appearance data based on the original owner according to her own preferences.

Furthermore, her temperament doesn't need to be adjusted based on the original owner's; Su Yan can choose entirely according to her own wishes.

However, there are also many things to avoid, such as not having the same temperament as Qin Yan's biological mother and wife, Chen.

Otherwise, given Qin Yan's prejudice against her, her actions might not achieve the desired results.

Liu was the gentle and considerate type, while Chen was the charming and alluring type; she wanted to avoid both of these qualities.

In addition, Qin Yan also disliked his stepmother, Madam Jiang. Madam Jiang had a dignified and elegant demeanor, and he wanted to avoid her as well.

After careful consideration, the only two temperaments that matched the original owner's appearance were the pitiful innocent girl and the delicate, sickly beauty.

Su Yan quite liked Shi Yiguang, and since the original owner of the body had a delicate and innocent temperament in the story, Su Yan didn't want to be like her, so she chose the delicate and sickly Xizi temperament.

Su Yan determined her temperament and then clicked on the appearance options.

The original owner had an oval face, which suited most ancient costume styles and gave her a more classical beauty and temperament.

Face shape can only be slightly adjusted. Su Yan raised the value of the original owner's imperfect oval face to the highest level, turning it into the most perfect oval face.

The shape of the lips could only be slightly adjusted. Fortunately, the original owner's lips were petal-shaped, which was more suitable for the ancient style. She stretched the lip shape to the most beautiful petal shape and maximized the pinkness, making the small lips look very kissable.

The nose can be modified a bit more. It needs to be higher and more prominent, and the nostrils should be rounded and moderate. It can't be too flat, otherwise it will look like a fake nose and look out of place. It also can't be too wide and thick, otherwise it will look like a big nose.

The original owner had peach blossom eyes, which were already very beautiful and didn't need any further adjustment. The only problem was that the upper eyelashes weren't long or curled enough, and the lower eyelashes weren't long enough either. After adjusting the eyelashes, and adding the bright and sparkling eyes, that would be enough.

For eyebrows, aim for a natural, willow-leaf shape. This can be done later with makeup, so the specific eyebrow shape you choose isn't that important.

Next, Su Yan looked at the options for body data.

If you have a prominent bust, choose D. Too much bust would affect your delicate and graceful appearance.

Moreover, there are no modern small underwear here, and if they are too heavy, they will sag quickly.

For a perky butt, choose a slightly fuller peach-shaped bottom. Most women here wear ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), so as long as they don't take it off, you won't be able to tell. It's okay if the inner layers are a bit sexy.

As for the waist, there's not much to choose from; it definitely has to be slim, like a willow-like waist.

Legs should be slender, long, well-proportioned, straight, white, and smooth.

There's not much to choose for the feet; they should be small and delicate, like jade feet.

After adjusting the data, Su Yan looked at the beautiful woman on the screen and couldn't help but think of the line from Dream of the Red Chamber: "Her illness surpasses even that of Xi Shi."

Even the most beautiful women, those who could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and those who could make the moon hide and flowers blush, could not compare to this.

"It's a pity I'm only eight years old now, otherwise I could see a beautiful woman in the mirror every day." Su Yan turned off the regulator with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

System: Having a narcissistic host can be a bit frustrating sometimes.

"Miss, are you awake?" came a soft inquiry from outside the carriage.

It was the voice of the girl who had been buried in wood with her earlier.

Su Yan withdrew her consciousness from the system space. "You're awake. Get me a glass of water."

A moment later, the same maid entered the carriage with a teacup. "Miss, the water is here."

After finishing her water, Su Yan asked, "Where are we now?"

We should be almost at the foot of the mountain where the fake bandits arranged by the male lead are, right?

She had to quickly turn the team back, lest the male lead have a chance to save the damsel in distress.

"Host, you're only eight years old, just a bean sprout. How could you possibly be a hero saving a damsel in distress?"

"Shut up, you're interfering with my quest!"

"Yes, host!" For the sake of the mission and the points, it will keep its mouth shut!

"Miss, we've already returned to the outskirts of the city and will be able to go back to the city to see a doctor soon. If you feel unwell anywhere, would you please eat a candied fruit and try to bear with it a little longer?"

The maidservant treated her like a child and coaxed her.

No, she's an eight-year-old child now.

Then wouldn't she be able to accept being served by others without any guilt?

"Host, this is important!"

Ah, right, now is not the time to enjoy ourselves.

"Are we almost back in the city?" The protagonist's private soldiers disguised as bandits hadn't caught up.

Haven't they realized that their target has already turned back to the city?

"Yes, Miss. You were knocked unconscious by the falling wood. Chief Huang, whom the eldest son left behind, was worried that you were seriously injured, so he decided to turn back to the city."

“Well done. When you get back to the manor, please give him some gold and silver as a reward.”

Here, "部曲" refers to the private armies kept by powerful families and various feudal lords, who were essentially retainers.

Su Yan was their master, so giving them things could be considered a reward.

Knowing that there was no immediate danger, Su Yan's spirits, which she had just mustered, immediately dissipated.

She leaned weakly against the cushion and looked at her personal maid, "Jingxia, I want to eat candied fruit, will you feed me?"

System crash: "Aaaaaah, host, your delicate, soft, and easily pushed-over physique isn't meant for you to use like this!!"

"Oh dear, we're not in danger right now, and we can't fly to the mission target right away. Even if we could, my body is eight years too young, and I can't have children. So why don't I enjoy myself for now?" Su Yan opened her mouth and bit the candied fruit that the maid put in her mouth, speaking to the system nonchalantly.

The system thought, "That makes some sense."

There's no rush, so let the host enjoy it for now.

On the other side, the fake bandits arranged by the male protagonist were crouching in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. Countless mosquitoes were flying around their heads and constantly biting their faces.

"Smack—" Another poor little mosquito was swatted dead on a dark, grimy face. "When is that brat coming? My face is covered in mosquito bites!"

According to the information given by the lord, the other party should have arrived here half an hour ago.

Half an hour passed, and not a single carriage or even a ghost passed by, let alone a procession.

"General, the men we sent to scout ahead should be back soon, so please don't worry. Ouch—" The soldier who had spoken was slapped on the back of the head with a thick hand.

The burly man with a dark face covered in red bumps said impatiently, "Shut up, what are you calling me, General? Call me Boss, got it?"

"I've got it, Boss, I've got it."

"Send two more people to the front to see if the others have arrived yet."

"Yes, General!"

The burly, dark-faced man: ...I suspect this little brat is deliberately trying to provoke me!

In the valley on the other side, Qin Yang sat leisurely on the grass covered with bear skin, drinking tea and enjoying the view of the green mountains and clear waters.

But when the guard reported again that the person had not arrived, his leisurely expression slowly crumbled. "It's not time yet, something must have happened. Let the soldiers go back, there's no need to wait."

After the attendants respectfully withdrew, Qin Yang's face instantly darkened.

He dislikes things beyond his control, and he dislikes people beyond his control.

Even before meeting her, Qin Yang already felt a strong dislike for Su Yan.
