Transmigrating into a book to save her best friend, her sickly husband vies for her affections every

As Tingyao carried the pastries she had made herself around the screen of the Imperial Study, she saw Zhao Siwei hurriedly tear off a folding booklet and cover the things on the table.

She knew very well what she was covering up.

It was a list of candidates from various families to be selected for the palace.

And that's exactly why she came.

"Instead of choosing a concubine to balance the power of the noble families, Your Majesty should posthumously confer the title of Empress on Xu Tutu."

"You two have a childhood friendship. If you bestow upon her the title of Empress, she will not only gain a reputation for being loyal and righteous, but the Xu family will also be grateful for the Emperor's favor and serve you faithfully, guarding the borders and protecting the country and its people."

Zhao Siwei stared blankly at Ting Yao, and unusually uttered a curse, "What nonsense are you spouting? I only treated her like a younger sister for a while!"

Sister? What sister? More like a romantic sister!

Tingyao changed her tone, "Listen to me, I won't hurt you."

This is true.

Throughout the process of helping Zhao Siwei ascend the throne, Tingyao served as both strategist and logistics manager, devoting herself wholeheartedly to the task.

No one ever doubted her loyalty.

But only Zhao Siwei knew that she wasn't loyal at all; she was clearly cold-hearted.

Zhao Siwei looked at her and coldly pointed at her weakness: "I just found out that the real cause of Meng**'s death was that Xu Tutu poisoned her. Are you really willing to let her become empress?"

Tingyao clenched her fingers and actually laughed.

Meng** is her best friend. Due to a car accident, the two of them signed an agreement with a rebirth system, transmigrating into a book together. As long as they successfully complete the plot, they can be resurrected and return to the modern world.

Additionally, the higher the completion rate of the storyline, the more bonus wish cards you will receive.

The only thing to be especially careful about is that death in the book is death in the real world.

Books are optional and can be chosen by the user.

They confidently chose a novel whose plot they knew by heart, but unexpected things happened.

Meng** was so infatuated with the second male lead, Zhang Zhan, that she began to forcibly interfere with the development of the plot.

She not only revealed Zhang Zhan's true identity ahead of time, but also wanted him to take the place of the male lead Zhao Siwei and rule the world.

He also orchestrated for Tingyao to become Zhao Siwei's wife, causing Zhao Siwei to lose the military support of the female lead Xu Tutu's family.

When the "love brain mode" is activated, its power rivals that of Ivan the Great.

At this point, the plot has been so heavily modified by Meng that its completion level is unlikely to be high. Even if the two of them are resurrected and return to the real world, what awaits them is the corpse energy of the early eight people, the miserable 996 work schedule, and the brainless time off.

Meng** felt that living in a book, with her best friend by her side, and a man who only loved her, was awesome!

Meng had planned everything meticulously, but she hadn't anticipated Zhang Zhan's infidelity.

The mistress is still Xu Tutu!

After the melodramatic plot involving two women and one man unfolded, the scumbag Zhang Zhan proposed that Xu Tutu be the legal wife and Meng** be the concubine.

In the end, Meng** killed Xu Tutu out of jealousy, Zhang Zhan shot and killed Meng**, and when Zhang Zhan wanted to kill Ting Yao, Zhao Siwei arrived in time and shot him into a pincushion.

"Baby, I deserve to die for being love-struck, but those two scoundrels absolutely cannot live. Only when they're dead can you finish the story without any threat, leave this place safely, and become a rich woman. In the next life, we'll still be the best of friends. I won't reincarnate; I'll become a ghost and continue to follow you and protect you. Whoever messes with you, I'll get my revenge..."

After Meng finished speaking his last words, his hand fell limp, and he stopped breathing completely. Tingyao cried so hard she almost died.

Death in the book is equivalent to death in the real world; even if she completes the story and returns to the modern world, her best friend cannot be resurrected.

The only chance is that extra wish card.

After that, Tingyao meticulously planned and corrected all the plot errors that could be fixed, finally taking the final step.

Zhao Siwei ascended the throne and made Xu Tutu his empress.

"When a person dies, the light goes out; the greater good must prevail." Tingyao handed him a pen. "Your Majesty, please draft the decree."

Zhao Siwei was stunned for a moment, then took the pen, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "Tingyao, we've known each other for two years and been married for three. Have you ever been sincere with me?"

Tingyao stared at the pen in his hand, a rare look of nervousness on her face. "If I'm not sincere, why would I prioritize your interests in everything? Your Majesty, please write quickly."

Zhao Siwei reluctantly wrote while asking, "Then let me ask you, if Meng** and I fell into the water and reached out to you, who would you pull up first? To be honest, I can handle it."

"It's definitely you," Tingyao said decisively. "Absolutely the truth."

Meng** is a landlubber and wouldn't jump into the water.

The moment Zhao Siwei placed the pen on the pen holder, Tingyao was plunged into complete darkness.

A emotionless voice rang out.

[The male protagonist has issued an edict to confer the title of Empress upon the female protagonist. Congratulations to player Ji Tingyao for completing the game. The story completion rate is 80%.]

Points deducted: 1. Unauthorized alteration of the plot resulting in the death of the female lead; 2. The system detected that the male lead's emotions were consistently negative, and judged it as player Ji Tingyao's mental attack on the protagonist.

According to the rules, if the completion rate is 80% or higher, you can make 3 wishes to the system. Please make your wish. Note that the system cannot directly revive deceased players and bring them back to the real world.

"I want to go back to the beginning of the book and resurrect Meng** in the book."

If she and Meng** complete the storyline again, they can still be resurrected together; it's a roundabout way to achieve their goal without causing any harm.

[Congratulations to the player who discovered the bug exploit; wish list is being generated:]

Player's wishes: 1. Complete the book on the second playthrough. 2. Also, give Meng** a resurrection card to participate in the second playthrough of the story.

Wishes are being locked and distributed. What are the remaining wishes?

Tingyao took a deep breath: "Give me a cheat code, or make Meng** stop being so love-struck."

Being love-struck is terrifying.

[Players know that the entire book's plot is equivalent to a cheat code, and the player's worldview cannot be changed by the system.]

The wish has been automatically changed to "add a helper".

Tingyao: ...Okay.

[The story is restarting after completing the second playthrough.]

System warning:

1. Do not disclose the first playthrough storyline to the resurrected player Meng**, otherwise this book will be invalid and all players and characters will die.

2. Players must be careful not to let the male protagonist's negative emotions continue to rise, otherwise the plot will result in an irreversible bad ending!

To help players identify the male protagonist's emotions, the system will provide a real-time emotional broadcast service.

The second playthrough story is in preparation. Friendly reminder: please hold your breath!

Oh, right, the first scene is a water play in the dead of winter!

When Tingyao opened her eyes, she wasn't enveloped by the icy chill or suffocating feeling. Two maids were nervously holding her arms, standing by the railing and gazing at Meng**, who was struggling in the lake.

"Tingyao! A lifebuoy! Help me!"

Tingyao felt no joy at the reunion; her mind was buzzing.

The story begins with Xu Tutu accidentally falling into the water, and her heroic jump in to save her, earning her a favor from Zhao Siwei who arrived late.

How did it become that Meng**, this landlubber, went down there?

Tingyao didn't have time to think and was about to climb over the fence and jump down to save the person. She didn't want to go through another three cycles!

Just then, her wrist was grabbed by a large hand and thrown back into the maid's arms.
