In her past life, her family was destroyed and she died tragiously on the open sea.
Reborn in a new life, what bad intentions could Shangguan Wu possibly have? She simply wants to take reveng...
Yan Yirou was a little shy when she entered the house and saw her future mother-in-law: "Auntie, I've come to see Wubao."
Ji Moyan said with a smile, "Oh, Rou Rou is here. Wu Bao is waiting for you inside. Come on in."
Okay~
Yan Yirou pushed open the door and walked into the inner room, only to find Wu Bao alone, which surprised her.
Shangguan Wu smiled when he saw her expression: "He knew you were coming, so he ate breakfast and went out."
Well!
Yan Yirou was taken aback for two seconds, then cleared her throat: "Ahem, Fourth Young Master won't mind if I disturb your time together, will he?"
Shangguan Wu teased her on purpose, saying, "Of course, he gets angry all the time, but since you're the third sister-in-law, he can only keep his opinions to himself."
Yan Yirou's lips twitched slightly: "..."
"Hahaha~" After laughing, Shangguan Wu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at her curiously: "What did you remember this time?"
Yan Yirou instantly became serious.
She moved the chair to the bedside, leaned forward, and lowered her voice: "It has nothing to do with you, but it might have something to do with your son."
Shangguan Wu's face instantly turned pale, and her beautiful eyes widened: "What is it?"
Yan Yirou quickly reassured her, "Don't panic, don't rush. I'm just saying maybe, it might not really be your son."
"That's true." Shangguan Wu steadied himself: "Go on."
"That's right, when your son was born, there were unusual signs at birth, and then his name was Gu Tianyou."
Yan Yirou licked her lips and continued, "You know I like reading novels. As long as the story is good, I don't care if it's male or female, or whether it's modern or ancient. I remember a male-oriented novel whose protagonist was named Gu Tianyou. There were also strange phenomena at his birth. The book described the strange phenomena on the day Tianyou was born exactly the same."
Then I recalled the plot of that book: Tianyou's father was the richest man, and his mother was a renowned doctor. Doesn't that correspond to your and Fourth Young Master's identities?
Shangguan Wu listened, completely stunned.
Is her son the protagonist of another book?
Isn't this too fantastical?
"Was it written by the same author?" she asked.
"Good question."
Yan Yirou clapped her hands and shook her head: "I don't know. But there are rumors that the two authors are husband and wife."
Shangguan Wu: "..."
Fine, she gave in.
"And then? When my son was twenty, my husband was in his forties. Was he good to me? Did he change his mind? Did he have other women outside?" Shangguan Wu's eyes were filled with a wicked curiosity.
Pfft~
Yan Yirou was about to die laughing at her. Her initial panicked mood instantly turned into a state of not knowing whether to laugh or cry after hearing what she said.
"Your relationship with the Fourth Young Master was just glossed over, okay? Your lovey-dovey relationship perfectly illustrates what it means to be true love and your son an accident."
"How could you just gloss over it? Aren't parents very important figures?"
Shangguan Wu had a vague sense of unease.
"Because Tianyou time-traveled!"
Yan Yirou took a deep breath, her expression solemn: "When you and your husband were traveling abroad, Tianyou was kidnapped. During the chase, the kidnappers' car fell into the sea, and Tianyou traveled through time."
"What!"
Shangguan Wu stared blankly at her, momentarily unable to catch his breath: "No, it can't be..."
Yan Yirou knew that she would find it hard to accept.
If God blesses...
Then any words of comfort would seem inadequate.
The book says that Tianyou traveled through time, but for people living in the modern world, Tianyou has left and they will never see him again.
No one could accept this.
Yan Yirou stopped talking, but Shangguan Wu became anxious and grabbed her hand, asking, "Where did he travel to?"
Her hands were cold, and Yan Yirou held them tightly as she continued, "Tianyou possesses a photographic memory. He read all your medical books and the Gu family's collection of books by the age of eight. The plot of that book is about a male protagonist who transmigrates to a fictional dynasty and inherits the Medicine King Valley. However, he encounters a chaotic world and follows his master down the mountain to save people. After witnessing firsthand the saying 'When the dynasty prospers, the people suffer. When the dynasty falls, the people suffer even more,' he transforms from a self-serving Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley into a great emperor who governs the country and saves the people."
Shangguan Wu's breath hitched.
She didn't care what dynasty it was.
All she knew was that her son was someone she had carried for ten months and painstakingly brought into the world, and she couldn't lose him.
Her parents, her in-laws, and they too will find it hard to accept Tianyou's departure.
Shangguan Wu decided that he would never go abroad again.
She doesn't go on trips either.
I'm not going anywhere!
We will not give the kidnappers a single chance!
As Shangguan Wu pondered, a sudden thought flashed through her mind: "That's not right!"
Yan Yirou stared blankly, completely bewildered: "What's wrong?"
"The book isn't right!"
Shangguan Wu couldn't help but smile as he analyzed, "In the romance novels you read, I died, right? Gu Yunzhen avenged me. If I'm dead, how could I have a son named Tianyou with him?"
Yan Yirou's eyes widened.
It seems...it appears to make some sense!
"Go on!"
Yan Yirou's delicate body trembled, and she sat up straight, as if she were back in high school listening to a lecture.
Encouraged, Shangguan Wu smiled and said, "You said they are husband and wife. That might be because some characters are similar in their settings. The protagonist just happens to need a cheat code like that, so he says his mother is a divine doctor."
Furthermore, as emperor, he will usher in a new era of prosperity. Issues related to the economy and people's livelihood will inevitably need to be addressed. Therefore, the protagonist's family background in modern times cannot be too poor. A family of the wealthiest would certainly have a vast collection of books. It doesn't matter if he's young and doesn't understand everything; he has a photographic memory. As he grows older, he will gradually apply that knowledge. Doesn't that make sense?
That makes a lot of sense!
Yan Yirou asked with delight, "So, Tianyou isn't the Tianyou from the book? It's just that they have the same name?"
Shangguan Wu nodded happily: "I think so."
Otherwise, how can you explain her death, yet having a son named Gu Tianyou?
etc!
Shangguan Wu said with a grim expression, "Unless Gu Yunzhen marries another woman after my death and has a child named Gu Tianyou!"
If that's the case, what if she wants to smash someone's head in!
"Absolutely not! Fourth Young Master ended up becoming a monk, okay!"
Yan Yirou read the whole story. If the Fourth Young Master had married someone else, she would have given up on the story long ago.
"You have such a vivid imagination!" She rolled her eyes.
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched slightly: "It's just a guess! Why are you so excited?"
Yan Yirou blurted out, "Because I don't want the house to collapse."
Although the ending is a tragic one, the author's deep affection touched many book fans, and she was one of them.
She never expected to transmigrate into this book.
But the plot took a turn that was different from most of what she knew...
Perhaps this is the happy ending she was hoping for?
Thinking of this, Yan Yirou looked at Shangguan Wu with sparkling eyes.
Shangguan Wu leaned back, pinched his throat, and uttered a clear, youthful voice: "Don't look at me like that, Miss, you're getting married soon."
