Even if we assume that this appearance is so beautiful that even the male lead can't resist her, what about the romantic relationship between the male lead and the female lead?
In the original novel, the male protagonist is not someone who falls in love easily. The initial relationship between the male and female protagonists is an alliance based on mutual exploitation, and sparks only gradually ignite later on.
But the male lead was completely unaware of the female lead's rebirth throughout the entire story. Why does he not only know about it now, but also directly interrogate her about it?
In the novel, the male protagonist always respects the female protagonist, and she gradually feels safe and dependent on him, eventually falling in love with him.
But in the current situation, the male protagonist is interrogating the female protagonist, and the female protagonist is filled with fear. How can she possibly feel safe?
Is the romance between the male and female leads about to fall apart? Is this the end for her? Is she going to give up completely and give up on going home?
Why……
Why did she suddenly breathe a sigh of relief?
Is she really going to live her whole life in a body that has nothing to do with her except her name, all for the sake of a man and an uncertain, insecure life?
What will happen to her family? What will happen to her friends? She's worked so hard in modern times for twenty years, what will become of her now?
I don't know if it was from overworking my brain or because I was just too cold.
Chenmianmian's head was getting more and more painful.
Seeing that Shen Mianmian's expression was becoming increasingly pained, Jiang Yinjin said anxiously, "Just bear with it a little longer, I'll make the bed right away!"
As a pampered young lady from a wealthy family, Jiang Yinjin was always waited on hand and foot, whether at her parents' home or her husband's family where she was not valued. Therefore, although she knew how to make the bed, she was not very skilled at it.
Moreover, the more anxious we are now, the worse the paving will be.
She cursed herself for being useless while trying her best to spread out the bedding. Then she came over to help her, first letting Shen Mianmian sit on the edge of the bed, and then helping her take off her clothes.
In the midst of his deep, painful sleep, he opened his eyes and saw Jiang Yinjin with red-rimmed eyes and tears welling up in her eyes.
Why...are you crying?
Jiang Yinjin bit her lip and said stubbornly, "I didn't cry. Don't talk, just lie down."
After taking off her outer clothes, Chen Mianmian lay in the cold bedding, wearing only her inner garment.
The bedding was cool but very soft; lying inside felt like floating on water.
"Yinjin." She lay flat on the bed, staring blankly at the top of the canopy, and murmured.
Jiang Yinjin was about to ask the maid if a hot water bottle was ready when she immediately turned back. "I'm here. What is it?"
Do you...like the King of Qin?
Jiang Yinjin was both amused and exasperated. "At a time like this, how can you still talk nonsense? I only approached the Prince of Qin because of 'that,' there was no other reason. How could I like him?"
"...If you don't like it now, then...what about later? Do you think...you'll like it later?" A wave of dizziness washed over her as she asked with difficulty.
Jiang Yinjin sighed, "Mianmian, I know you are different from others, but you need to rest now. We can talk slowly when you're better. We can talk for as long as you want."
"...No, you..." Before she could finish speaking, a strong wave of dizziness hit her and she fainted.
...
To Shen Mianmian's surprise, she caught a cold!
It's very serious.
Since transmigrating into the book, she has always been in good health. In addition, with running and martial arts training, she is not only physically healthy but also full of energy.
Unexpectedly, after standing in the garden with the King of Qin for a while, he caught a cold and developed a high fever that wouldn't go down for two days and two nights.
For the past two days and two nights, Jiang Yin has been taking care of her without taking off her brocade robes. Even the Prince of Qin came to see her.
When Shen Mianmian regained consciousness, her first thought was—this illness was really serious. It was only because of the combined power of the male and female leads' halos that she was saved. If it were any less, she might have gone straight to the King of Hell.
afternoon.
Several bronze stoves were burning red-hot, and the room was so hot that it was almost impossible to wear summer clothes.
Leaning against the soft cushions, Chen Mianmian drank the bitter medicine soup that made her want to vomit, and complained, "Can we talk about moving one of the heaters? It's so hot! I feel like I'm in a sauna!"
Jiang Yinjin sat on the edge of the bed, stirring the freshly cooked rock sugar bird's nest with a porcelain spoon. "No, your high fever has just subsided, you can't catch a cold again. This heater will need to be on for at least three more days."
"I'm not saying you can't use the heaters, I'm saying take two away, leaving two is enough, I'm really dying of heat."
“You’re only wearing your undergarment, how can you be hot? I’m still wearing my outer garment.”
"Of course they're different. You have fair skin and delicate features, while I'm just a mortal."
"..." Jiang Yinjin looked at the woman in astonishment.
Chen Mianmian was puzzled. "Why...why are you looking at me like that? Did I use the wrong idiom? If I offended you, I apologize in advance."
Jiang Yinjin shook her head, "I didn't mean to offend you, but your beauty without realizing it makes me feel ashamed in comparison."
Shen Mianmian really wanted to explain—she wasn't unaware of her beauty! It's just that this body and this face weren't hers, so she was embarrassed to use someone else's face to pretend to be a goddess.
As the two were talking, a greeting suddenly came from outside the door, followed by Green Ivy announcing at the door, "His Highness has arrived."
The two people who were talking were taken aback.
Chen Mianmian glanced blankly out the window. "It's not even dark yet, why is he back already?"
That's not how it's written in the novel. In the novel, the male protagonist is described as a workaholic who doesn't return home until after midnight.
Jiang Yinjin stood up and said in a low voice, "These past two days, the Prince of Qin has come to see you every day, and he even lost his temper once because you were unconscious. I think the Prince of Qin likes you, not me. Don't bother trying to match us up. Also..."
Before he could finish speaking, the King of Qin entered.
Jiang Yinjin quickly replied, "I'll talk about it later." After putting down her bowl, she greeted the prince, saying, "This humble woman greets Your Highness."
"Hmm." The King of Qin nodded in response, and when he looked up, he saw Chen Mianmian holding a bowl of medicine.
She had been unconscious for two days and two nights, and her hair and face were disheveled. Fortunately, she was stunningly beautiful, so even without any grooming, she was still very charming.
These past two days, he has been in a state of distress, and no matter where he is or what he is doing, he is constantly thinking about the unconscious woman.
Time and again he regretted taking the woman to the garden late at night to be exposed to the cold wind; she fell ill entirely because of him.
The thought that if the woman died, he would never hear those whispered words again filled him with dread.
I was so panicked that I wished I could go back to that night two days ago and kill myself with a knife.
The doctor repeatedly emphasized that her life was not in danger, but he still had a very strong premonition that one day, this woman would die, or more precisely, that her shrewish soul would disappear into thin air.
Today was even worse. Even though he had sent his attendants back and forth twice to report the situation, he was still restless and, for the first time ever, returned to his residence early.
Chen Mianmian held the medicine bowl blankly, Jiang Yinjin's words still echoing in her mind: "[Even Jiang Yinjin believes that the Prince of Qin likes me?]"
[But if he didn't like me, why would he come to see me every day? That's not how he's supposed to be. Also, I still don't understand why he brought me here.]
The King of Qin brought you here to use the Heart-Connecting Gu to verify the authenticity of Jiang Yinjin's information.
Suddenly, the King of Qin burst out laughing.
Everyone was startled—the King of Qin laughed!
