**

The year 3124, the tenth year of the Red Planet's apocalypse.

"Boom—!!!"

On a quiet afternoon, a loud explosion of a superhuman self-destruction echoed in a certain area of ​​the capital city of a major country.

The explosion was so loud and sudden that everyone at the command center base, who were monitoring the situation in real time, was stunned.

When they came to their senses, all that remained on the surveillance footage was a ruin littered with flames and piles of zombie corpses.

......

......

No one spoke; they all stared blankly at the surveillance footage.

Soon, two cold, mechanical voices from robots detecting signs of biological life rang out in the command and control center.

"Report: It has been detected that the superhuman Shang Changge has lost vital signs at 13:55:56 Beijing time."

"Report: Zombie King No. 1 was found to have lost vital signs at 13:55:57 Beijing time."

The command center became even quieter.

Soon everyone stood up in unison and bowed in respect to the surveillance footage, which was still filled with billowing smoke.

,

Early autumn in the Qingyan Dynasty.

At midday, dark clouds filled the sky above the capital, giving the impression that a storm was brewing.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning flashed, instantly illuminating the dark sky.

The next second, a deafening roar erupted, followed by a thunderous crash.

at the same time,

Inside the extravagantly luxurious residence of Princess Anguo, a beautiful woman who had been slumped in a chair with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth suddenly opened her eyes.

Shang Changge was somewhat bewildered by his resurrection.

What's going on?

Didn't she self-destruct and die together with Zombie King No. 1 and his zombie minions? How can she still be alive?

Just as he was wondering what was happening, a sharp, piercing pain, accompanied by a flood of memories, attacked Shang Changge's head without warning.

The pain caused Shang Changge to press her temples and close her eyes again. When she opened them again, her excessively beautiful face contorted and looked strange for a moment.

She transmigrated into the book.

She, who had just survived a devastating battle against the zombie king and perished together, making a great contribution to humanity, has now transmigrated into a book.

She transmigrated into a male-oriented fantasy novel that had recently become popular among her underlings, who also relentlessly criticized the male protagonist as an idiot.

It tells the story of a prince who loves beauty more than the throne; while his brothers are busy vying for the throne, he's busy enjoying himself in the martial arts world.

Aside from indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun, he only cares about winning the hearts of one beauty after another in the martial arts world. This prince does absolutely nothing that benefits the country or its people.

He couldn't resist having a father who favored his son.

It's fine if he doesn't participate in the succession struggle and spends his days in pleasure; the old emperor has paved the way for him.

After venturing into the martial world, he ascended the throne as emperor without lifting a finger.

The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to build a large harem, and naturally he gained a large number of beauties.

The next few hundred chapters are all about the emperor's romantic affairs with his concubines.

The male protagonist still doesn't care about court affairs at all; his character is mainly that of a carefree prince and emperor.

And then there was nothing more.

Since the book was unfinished, the author was probably attacked by zombies and became one of them.

Regardless of whether the author turned into a zombie or not, and regardless of why she transmigrated into this novel,

She sacrificed her precious life to contribute to all of humanity, and this is how she gets treated?

Why are they male-oriented wish-fulfillment novels instead of female-oriented wish-fulfillment novels?

What's even more outrageous is that he's not even the main character!

Instead, he was a short-lived, vicious villain with pitifully few scenes!

While it's somewhat of a coincidence that she shares the same name as the original owner of this body, is this reasonable? Is this fair?

"Waaaaah..."

"Waaaaah..."

Shang Changge, who had just managed to clear his mind: ...Who's making that ghostly noise?

The wailing, sobbing, and choking sounds of a ghost drifted in intermittently from outside, sounding utterly pathetic and cowardly.

"Boom—"

Another clap of thunder followed, and then a torrential downpour began, the sound of raindrops the size of beans continuously pattering against the glazed tiles of the palace.

As Shang Changge walked to the door, she was greeted by a torrential downpour and three maids in green kneeling in the courtyard.

Retrieving the original owner's memories, she quickly remembered that these three were the maids who usually served the original owner's daily life.

The reason they were kneeling was that the three of them had upset the original owner while serving him lunch today, so he punished them by making them kneel outside.

but,

Based on her understanding of the original book's plot, the farce at noon was a conspiracy.

A conspiracy to kill the original owner of this body; in the original story, the original owner did indeed die today.

"Boom—" "Crackling—"

Amidst the thunder and rain, none of the three maids noticed when Shang Changge appeared at the door; they remained kneeling neatly in a row.

The sobbing and wailing of the two maids on the left and right were coming from their mouths.

The maid kneeling in the middle remained silent, letting the rain soak her hair and clothes.

Shang Changge found the scene quite novel and interesting, and after admiring it for a while, she called out, "Qingyao."

Upon hearing this, the three maids looked up simultaneously.

Qingyao, who had been kneeling silently in the middle, instinctively greeted her mistress respectfully, saying, "Princess."

Apart from a more upright kneeling posture, his expression remained as respectful as ever, showing no unusual changes.

The two on the left and right were different; their eyes widened and their faces showed fear as they stared at Shang Changge, who was completely unharmed and showed no signs of poisoning.

A chill ran down my spine in waves. Why?! How...how could this be?!

Shouldn't the princess have died from the poison long ago? How come she's still alive and well as if nothing happened?

Could it be that Miss Wanyi was lying to them? No, no, but why isn't the princess dead?!

The subtle changes in their guilty expressions were so varied that Shang Changge couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The laughter was inexplicable and somewhat perverted, especially considering the original owner was wearing a bright red peony dress today, and it was thundering and raining.

The entire atmosphere was chilling, like a vengeful ghost haunting them. The two, already terrified, became even more frightened.

Overwhelmed with fear and panic, his body, which had been kneeling for so long, trembled uncontrollably in the heavy rain, like a sieve.

"cough!"

After Shang Changge had scared them enough, she coughed lightly and smiled, tapping the two maids who were nearly scared out of their wits with her fingertip:

"Qinghe and Qingyu poisoned me, don't kneel up and kill them."

Qingyao's eyes instantly sharpened, her icy gaze, filled with murderous intent, piercing Qinghe and Qingyu. She accepted the order and rose to her feet.

"yes."

Without giving the two a chance to explain, she picked them up one by one like chicks, intending to take them out and kill them so they wouldn't offend the princess's eyes.

He was efficient and decisive, never asking any unnecessary questions, and always did whatever his master told him to do.

This made Shang Changge even more satisfied with Qingyao; she liked this kind of obedient and loyal younger brother.

Qingyao is loyal.

The other two are different; they are two treacherous lackeys. Oh, right.

"Wait a minute," Shang Changge called out to Qingyao.

Qinghe and Qingyu finally recovered from the immense fear of seeing a ghost, and while struggling to get up, they repeatedly begged for mercy.

"Princess, spare us! We are servants of the Princess's residence, how could we possibly collude with outsiders to poison you!"

"This servant understands! Someone must be jealous of our favor with you and Qingyu and has framed us. Please, Your Highness, investigate thoroughly!"

As she spoke, Qinghe quickly turned her head to look at Qingyao, then timidly shrank back as if threatened and frightened.

“Yes, Princess, Qinghe is right. If you don’t believe me, you can have Physician Jing test the food for poison. The food that Qinghe and I prepared is absolutely safe!”

Tears streamed down Qingyu's face as if she had suffered a great injustice, but the fleeting resentment in her eyes betrayed her true emotions.

Wanyi's people said that the poison is colorless and odorless, allowing people to die silently and undetectable by anyone who comes to test it.

If Physician Jing cannot detect the toxicity, the princess will no longer be able to insist on killing them.

However, no matter how Qingyu calculated, she never expected that their original princess was dead, and now standing in front of her was an outsider holding a script.

Shang Changge leaned against the carved door with his arms crossed, looking somewhat lazy and casual. Hearing this, he smiled inexplicably.

"I never said the poison was in the food, so why did you say it first? Besides..."
