"Miss, wake up, wake up!" A clear and melodious voice rang in Nan Wusi's ears.
"Who is it? Leave me alone! I haven't had enough sleep yet." Nan Wusi irritably slapped away the hand that was shaking her.
"Miss, Master has returned to the capital in triumph and has already gone to the palace to meet the Emperor. He will return home after the court session. Please get up!" the voice continued.
"Master? Returning to the capital? What nonsense is this?" Nan Wusi regained a little consciousness. "Wait, am I not at home?" Nan Wusi suddenly woke up and jumped out of bed.
Standing by the bed was a rather cute little girl with chubby cheeks, wearing a pink dress, smiling at her and saying, "Miss, you're finally up. If you don't get up soon, the old lady will scold you again."
"What's going on? Where am I? Have I time-traveled? Calm down, calm down!" As a seasoned novel enthusiast, Nan Wusi's first thought was time travel, but she never expected it to happen to her. After all, anyone would be terrified to wake up in a completely unfamiliar place while sleeping soundly at home.
"Tell me in detail what you just said about the master returning to the manor." Nan Wusi tried her best to appear calm and composed, wanting to project the dignity of a young lady.
"Miss, are you still half asleep? Today is the day your father, our Great General Nan, returns to the capital after guarding the border! Moreover, the Great General has utterly defeated the despicable barbarians, and the entire capital is waiting for his triumphant return." The little girl seemed quite proud.
"The Grand General Who Protects the Nation? General Nan?" Nan Wusi quickly considered how to deal with the situation. He didn't know what kind of person the original owner of this body was, and what if he was exposed later? Oh well, he could only take it one step at a time.
"Miss, let me help you wash up and get ready," the young girl said.
"Okay." Nan Wusi got up and sat down in front of the bronze mirror, but before she could even sit properly, she looked up at the mirror and jumped up in fright. The person in the mirror had messy and sparse hair, a square face, thick eyebrows, a fierce look in her eyes, a low nose, thick lips, and dark and rough skin. This, this, this was not the appearance of a woman at all.
"Miss, what's wrong?" The little girl next to her was also startled.
"It's nothing." Nan Wusi sat down again, silently complaining to himself, "I really don't know how this little girl can call me 'Miss' without batting an eye."
Then Nan Wusi realized something else. No wonder she felt a sense of familiarity when the little girl mentioned General Nan, the Great General Who Protects the Nation. Now she finally remembered—she hadn't transmigrated, she had transmigrated into a book! She had transmigrated into a novel she was reading last night, because a female supporting character shared the same name as her, which was why she had read it. How unlucky she was! Everyone else transmigrated and got the female lead's script, but she got the script of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character!
This is an old-fashioned romance novel that tells the story of how Ouyang Jiangli, the daughter of the Prime Minister, falls in love with the Crown Prince Xiao Mu and overcomes numerous difficulties to finally achieve a happy ending. The original character she played was the villainous supporting female character, Nan Wusi, the daughter of the Great General and Xiao Mu's Crown Princess.
The original novel's female protagonist, Ouyang Jiangli, is fair-skinned and beautiful, proficient in all arts, and hailed as the "Flower of the Capital." The supporting female character, Nan Wusi, is ugly, has a violent temper, and possesses extraordinary martial arts skills, earning her the nickname "She-Devil," feared by all the people of the capital. Ironically, she is manipulated into helping the newly enthroned emperor quell a rebellion and dies on the battlefield. The following year, before the mourning period is over, the new emperor hastily marries the female protagonist, making her empress.
"Damn it, I've transmigrated into a book. All I did was say that the female supporting character wasn't ugly but blind." Nan Wusi felt bitter.
"Ding, a suitable system has been detected. Would you like to activate it, host?" A mechanical female voice suddenly sounded in Nan Wusi's mind.
"Activate, activate!" Nan Wusi was excited. This was the legendary cheat code! He never expected such a good thing to happen.
"Activation successful. Congratulations, host, on activating the Beauty and Growth System. I am System No. 3318, and I will be at your service in the days to come," the mechanical female voice said.
"It's a beauty system! Waaaaah, it's exactly what I wanted! Mom won't have to worry about me becoming so ugly anymore." Nan Wusi was practically crying tears of joy.
"Yes, host, I will help you become more and more beautiful in the future," the system said. "As long as you keep completing tasks, you will get corresponding beauty points, which can be used to buy the beauty products you want in the system shop."
"We actually have to complete tasks?" Nan Wusi asked, "What kind of tasks are they?"
"I don't know either; the tasks are generated randomly," the system explained.
"What? You don't even know this?" Nan Wusi complained softly.
"System permissions are currently limited. You will need to complete tasks to unlock more permissions. You have gained 50 Beauty Points by activating the system. You can now choose to purchase a newbie gift pack or store your Beauty Points. Beauty Points earned from completing tasks in the future will be directly deposited into your system account."
The system's mechanical female voice suddenly sounded pleasant to Nan Wusi's ears. "Buy the newbie gift pack," Nan Wusi said without hesitation.
"Ding! Purchasing the newbie gift pack will deduct 50 beauty points. Host, do you wish to open it?"
"Open it." Nan Wusi was curious about what the newbie gift pack would contain. Following typical game tropes, newbie gift packs usually contain some good items to entice players to continue playing, which is why she bought it without hesitation.
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained Level 3 Refined Skin and one bottle of Whitening Pill. Level 3 Refined Skin will take effect immediately."
