The female protagonist has a system that makes her more beautiful based on the original body's foundation. She is a crowd-pleaser, and the story will never be angst-inducing for the female lead...
Qingyin composed herself, suppressing the emotions that had consumed her life, and exhaled a breath of stale air.
The only sweetness she ever experienced in her life probably came from her first husband, Duan Min, who died young.
Unfortunately, this sweetness was far too short-lived.
However, after reading the original owner's memories and the special circumstances of this small world, Qingyin also received the plot of this small world.
The original owner's first husband, Duan Min, is the male protagonist of this world.
Moreover, the male protagonist is the typical overpowered protagonist.
It turns out that Duan Min accidentally fell into the river while on the battlefield, and his head hit a rock in the water, causing him to lose consciousness. He was rescued by a princess from another country, Nan'an, who saw that he was handsome.
The Dongwei Kingdom couldn't find Duan Minren and assumed he had died in battle. These were the memories of the original owner.
The story revolves around Duan Min, who, after experiencing various factors, demonstrates his military talent, falls in love with Princess Su Xi of Nan'an, and eventually becomes an outstanding general in Nan'an, marrying Princess Su Xi.
The original body was merely a minor twist in the story where the male protagonist suddenly recalled his memories in middle age, deepening the relationship between the male protagonist and Princess Suxi.
Qingyin strained to read the thick plot and managed to find glimpses of the original owner's existence. It was only after the male and female leads had a child and after the Nan'an Kingdom and Dongwei Kingdom established diplomatic relations through marriage that she specially placed a bouquet of flowers on the original owner's tombstone.
The original owner's miserable and self-deprecating life simply vanished.
Qingyin sighed deeply after receiving all the information.
No wonder the original owner of this body vowed to become someone admired and envied. She lived a dull and unremarkable life, always filled with unparalleled envy for the shining sun in the sky, a sun that the original owner had never experienced in her entire life.
Having sorted out her memories, Qingyin reverted to her original pitiful and reserved nature. Pretending to be exhausted and about to faint, Qingyin swayed her body, aimed at her target, and collapsed.
Before leaving, the original owner wanted to kneel and keep vigil for her beloved husband for one night, but Qingyin was unwilling, especially since this husband was a fake dead man.
To maintain her persona, Qingyin thought for a moment and decided to use the simplest strategy to solve the problem—pretending to faint.
Sure enough, not long after she collapsed, the people from the Lin family who had been watching her rushed over to her, and other people's noisy voices also rose up around her.
"Ah! Hu Sanya has fainted."
"Sigh, this child is already weak, he must have fainted from excessive grief."
"Miss, quickly find a doctor to save her!" Seeing the widowed heiress collapse, even the old nanny who had previously looked down on her panicked.
No matter what, this real daughter is still the master and mistress's biological daughter. What if something happens to her on the way...?
The nanny, not daring to think about the consequences, anxiously called for someone to pick up Qingyin and place her in the young lady's original bedroom, then hurriedly summoned a doctor.
At first, Qingyin was just pretending to be unconscious with her eyes closed, but as time went by, the original owner of the body, who had been guarding for several nights, was also genuinely tired and sleepy, so Qingyin really fell asleep.
He slept for two whole days straight.
When she woke up with her eyes open, the first thing she saw was the arrogant old woman who had come to pick her up in her memory. Now she was looking at her with a look of relief and joy, as if she were seeing her own parents.
"Miss, you're finally awake!" Granny Wang exclaimed excitedly as she looked at Qingyin. This girl had truly slept for two days and two nights straight. If the doctor hadn't repeatedly emphasized that the young lady was just sleeping because she was extremely tired, Granny Wang would have already imagined her miserable fate of being beaten and scolded by the master and mistress when she returned to the Lin family mansion.
Seeing Qingyin open her eyes at that moment was tantamount to seeing that she had secured her future wealth and honor.
Qingyin:......
She blinked her clear eyes and asked in a puzzled tone, "Granny Wang, what's wrong with me?"
“Miss, you were so exhausted while keeping vigil that you fainted and didn’t wake up for two days. Your body is delicate, you can’t keep going like this. You should come back to the capital with me as soon as possible,” Granny Wang earnestly advised.
If she stayed any longer, her aging heart wouldn't be able to withstand the stimulation.
Qingyin lowered her eyes, her voice becoming low: "But my husband just passed by, I..."
“Miss, this old servant thinks that if the young master were still alive, he would surely pity you and be afraid that you would suffer. People, once they are gone, should look forward.”
"Besides, your master and mistress are also worried about you in the capital." So you should hurry back with me.
Granny Wang tried her best to persuade her, but seeing the dejected girl lying on the bed for a long time without moving, Granny Wang talked until her mouth was dry.
Qingyin let Wang Mama persuade her, and after enjoying Wang Mama's miserable appearance, Qingyin calmly pretended to be moved by her parents in the capital and agreed to her request.
"Okay, let's go tomorrow then."
Upon hearing this, Wang Mama, who had been trying to persuade her for so long, felt an immense joy, even more so than when she had received rewards from the Madam and the Master.
Mixed with this illusion, it's like Granny Wang, suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, finding the pale and thin girl lying on the bed somehow comforting.
Gratefully watching Qingyin for a while, he excitedly ran off to prepare food for the young lady.
Qingyin lay comfortably on the bed, waiting to be served.
With the help of the nanny in the capital's mansion, Qingyin lived a very comfortable life. She was given water when she was thirsty and food when she was hungry. The nanny took excellent care of Qingyin in every way.
With Granny Wang's care, Qingyin's fatigue from the past few days quickly dissipated.
Before leaving, Qingyin also saw her adoptive parents who hadn't treated her well. The gaunt couple and her two older sisters stood timidly not far away, looking at her hesitantly, no longer showing the disgust and dislike they used to have for Qingyin.
It seemed as if they were hoping the original owner could still give them some kind of response.
Recalling the original owner's memories—the thin little girl who was bullied and beaten since childhood, and the occasional tenderness between the couple—Qingyin, without hesitation, had the guard hand over the 500 coins that the original owner had accumulated to the two people.
Seeing the couple's expressions of honor and surprise, Qingyin remained calm and did not look back at them again. This time, she was repaying the kindness of raising that petite girl.
Goodbye means we're strangers.

Watching the familiar figures of the tall guards and nannies leaving, Mr. and Mrs. Hu were stunned, and a sense of loss rose in their hearts.
Madam Hu opened her mouth, looking at her third daughter, whom she had deliberately tormented, as she left. Her eyes stung with tears, and she wanted to say something, but when she saw the tall guards appearing beside her daughter, she hesitated.
Hu Daya and Hu Erya are the same.
