Li Yunyan rubbed her forehead and resignedly began the selection process.

For the remaining children, Li Yunyan chose good marriages for them.

She used her own standards to choose the best men for her son and daughter, men who were outstanding in appearance, figure, and character.

The children are all living very happily.

Li Yunyan lived a very happy life, enjoying smooth sailing for decades, and finally closed her eyes peacefully in Xia Xiunian's arms.

The system is now very efficient; the moment Li Yunyan's soul entered, it shielded her from emotions.

Li Yunyan even had the mood to tease, "System, how's your database update going? Should I give you a little more time?"

The system chuckled: [Host, this system has been updated; the database is now top-of-the-line!]

"Oh, that's good! Let's go!"

[Teleporting to a small world...]

——————————

When Li Yunyan regained consciousness, she found herself standing in front of a mansion.

She looked up and exclaimed, "The Li residence?"

So she is standing in front of her own house right now?

So, is she going in or coming out now?

"System, teleport me to the storyline!"

[Story progress in progress...]

After receiving the plot details, Li Yunyan did not hesitate for a moment and immediately walked away.

She had barely left the gate when a richly dressed young woman emerged from inside, surrounded by a large group of servants who treated her like a star surrounded by the moon.

After leaving the Li residence, Li Yunyan found a random inn to stay at, which gave her time to sort out the plot.

This is a story about a real and a fake heiress, and the original owner of this body was the real heiress.

Sixteen years ago, the Li family, now living in the capital, encountered a rainstorm on their way back to Beijing to report on their work and took shelter at an inn.

It just so happens that Li Yunyan's adoptive parents are also taking shelter from the rain at this inn. Both families happen to have a woman who is about to give birth. After a brief conversation, they are surprised to find that both families share the same surname, Li!

Li Yunyan's adoptive father was also going back to Beijing to report on his work. Since the two families had the same destination and were so destined to meet, they decided to travel together.

Unexpectedly, the rain became torrential and continued for five days without stopping. A huge bolt of lightning struck a nearby mountain peak, startling both women into ruptured membranes.

The area was remote, and the heavy rain made it extremely difficult to find a midwife. Finally, they found one in a nearby village, but she was in charge of two women at the same time. In the chaos, she accidentally switched the two newborn daughters!

Li Yunyan, who should have been the legitimate daughter of the Li family in the capital, was switched at birth, but was still loved and cared for by her adoptive parents as she grew up.

The adoptive father had no connections in the capital. After returning to the capital to report on his duties, he was sent to the impoverished Yuezhou as a minor county magistrate. Meanwhile, the other Li family prospered, with Li Zewen rising all the way to become the prime minister of the court!

Li Yunyan's adoptive father was a frail scholar who died of illness when she was five years old. Her adoptive mother, Zhou, raised her alone.

But as she continued to care for her, she noticed something was wrong!

Because Li Yunyan is just too beautiful!

Both Li's father and Zhou's mother had ordinary appearances, and their skin was even a bit dark. But Li Yunyan looked neither like her father nor Zhou's mother; she actually resembled...

Zhou's pupils dilated slightly, as if he had discovered a huge mistake!

After discovering the mistake, she didn't make a fuss. More than ten years had passed, and she had long regarded Li Yunyan as her own precious child. Only occasionally would she secretly shed a few tears in the dead of night.

Until two months ago, Zhou's mother felt that her time was coming to an end, so she told Li Yunyan about it.

She instructed her, "Yan'er, your mother will not interfere with your decision. Whether or not you go back to the Li family is up to you. However, I hope you can go and see that child for me. Just see her, and then come to my memorial tablet and tell me what she looks like. That will make me happy."

The kind-hearted original owner agreed.

After burying Zhou, she packed her bags and headed to the capital. She didn't intend to return to that home; she only wanted to fulfill Zhou's last wish and catch a glimpse of the girl from afar before leaving.

Then came the scene when Li Yunyan arrived today.

At that time, the original owner was waiting at the door and saw the girl who was surrounded by everyone. She felt no jealousy, but only gratification for Zhou Shi.

She intended to leave quietly, but unexpectedly, the girl, Li Mingzhu, saw her face.

Her plain appearance has always been the biggest thorn in Li Mingzhu's side.

She has three older brothers, each of whom is handsome and outstanding. Her parents are also good-looking. I heard that her mother used to be a famous beauty in the capital!

But she is the only one! Not only is her skin dark, but none of her facial features resemble her parents at all!

Her mother comforted her, saying that she had inherited her grandfather's dark skin from a generation past.

Her grandfather used to be a pig butcher in the countryside. After he married her grandmother, who was the most beautiful girl in the village, the descendants of the Li family began to grow up to be good-looking!

That is why, among her three grandsons and one granddaughter, the grandmother loved Li Mingzhu the most!

But just now, she actually saw a face that looked seven-tenths like her mother at the entrance of the Li residence!

Even though she was dressed in simple clothes, her stunning beauty was still undeniable; she was even more beautiful than her mother!

Why would such a face appear outside the gates of the Li residence by such a coincidence?

Suspicious Li Mingzhu immediately ordered her men to follow her. They discovered Li Yunyan's whereabouts and then sent men to deliberately approach her.

The original owner planned to return to Yuezhou in one day, but a poor old woman lived nearby. The old woman's children and grandchildren did not care about her. She was sick and lying in bed alone, unable to even get a sip of water.

The original owner of this body was kind-hearted, so she stayed to take care of her. During this time, the original owner, who had no suspicion of the old woman, was tricked into revealing information.

That night, a group of people broke into the house and raped him to death.

Even at the moment of her death, the original owner still did not understand who wanted to harm her, since she had no grudges against anyone in the capital.

Li Yunyan's fists hardened. The original owner only wanted to fulfill her adoptive mother's last wish and never thought about reclaiming her identity, but she was murdered by Li Mingzhu!

But the perpetrator who usurped the throne was able to enjoy all the original owner's happiness openly and legitimately!

She felt no gratitude whatsoever, and was even terrified that her family would discover her true identity. Later, she conspired with the Sixth Prince to kill off, one by one, those in the Li family in the capital who loved her.

Finally, she even became the sixth prince's wife! Then she continued to plot against the other princes, helped the sixth prince become emperor, and finally became empress!

Good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years!

A glint of malice flashed in Li Yunyan's eyes; she was not as kind as the original owner of this body!

She will take back everything that belongs to the original owner, one by one!

Before my ambition could even be ignited for two seconds, the system silently reminded me in my mind.

[Host, it seems we're a childbirth system!]
