Yan Yiming entered a game called "Power Emperor".
"Quan Huang" has a very domineering name, but it is actually a newly launched large-scale ancient style love game, commonly known as an otome game.
What is an otome game? The official explanation is: a BG love-development game with a female as the protagonist and males as the pursueable characters (the number of pursueable males ≥ 2).
The explanation is fresh and refined, but the obvious ≥2 in the brackets of the guide to the male protagonist has instantly given the game a very impure word.
NP.
So to put it bluntly, this is a game that satisfies a woman's fantasies about men in all aspects.
Players can play the role of the heroine and have a virtual love affair with so many top handsome men. If one is not enough, there can be two, and if two are not enough, there can be a third. There are plenty of handsome men of all kinds, and you can date multiple top handsome men at the same time and change your taste at any time.
In this game, the heroine is an undisputed heartthrob, and all the male protagonists will fall in love with her unconditionally and without principles. Yes, there are no principles. No matter how stupid and pretentious the heroine is, she is still an extremely cute little sweetheart in the hearts of the heroes. The heroes will definitely abandon countless beautiful girls for her, just to be with the heroine.
Once this game was released, its handsome appearance and gorgeous voice quickly made it the most popular game on the market.
One month after Yan Yiming got into the game, he woke up and found himself in the game. However, he did not become the popular heroine who was a winner in life. Instead, he became a poor female supporting role who would be ruthlessly cannon fodder by the male protagonists. He became a stepping stone for the heroine to reach the pinnacle of her life.
Yan Yiming repeated the word "stepping stone" several times in his mind and then laughed mockingly. It was still unclear who the stepping stone was.
At this moment, Yan Yiming was leaning against the beauty's backrest in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The breeze gently blew a few strands of hair by his ears, adding a bit of charm to his exquisite face. She gently twisted a translucent pearl the size of a longan between her fingers, and listened inattentively to the little girl Lu Mei's excited cheers.
A few days ago, my young lady invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to Fuyu Mountain to appreciate the peach blossoms. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not refuse that day, but today he was unable to keep the appointment because of important matters with Master Jian. As a way of expressing his apology, he specially asked someone to send this South Pearl over.
"Miss, I heard that these are South Pearls tributed from the South China Sea. Both the size and luster are much better than ordinary pearls. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially sent this over. He must be very concerned about you," Lu Mei held the box that had just contained the pearls in her hand, with an innocent smile on her round face.
Yan Yiming sneered. She didn't seem to care at all, let alone care at all.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Nangong Xuan, is one of the four male protagonists in "The Emperor of Power". Since he is one of the male protagonists, the only one who can make him care is the female protagonist Jian Yuer, and naturally it won't be her.
The four male protagonists in "The Emperor of Power" have very different personalities. Not to mention the others, the Crown Prince Nangong Xuan is the most domineering one. Born to the queen of the current dynasty, he is a child of destiny. Such a person will never force himself to do anything against his will, nor will he feel guilty about a woman he doesn't like and give her a broken bead to appease her, let alone a woman who is devoted to him.
Therefore, this pearl nominally sent by the prince must not have been intended by Nangong Xuan, and Nangong Xuan was even unwilling to have it sent over. After all, in Yan Yiming's memory, she was devoted to only Nangong Xuan, but Nangong Xuan was unwilling to say a word to her.
But the bead was still delivered, which could only mean that someone made the decision for the prince, or moved the prince.
Yan Yiming knew who this person was at a glance.
It was Master Jian Yuyan, who had "made an appointment" with the Crown Prince to discuss important matters today.
Jian Yuyan is another male protagonist among the four male protagonists in "The Emperor of Power". He is the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion, Nangong Xuan's best playmate since childhood, and the "real brother" of the heroine Jian Yuer in "The Emperor of Power".
Why do we put quotation marks around this "real brother"? The reason is simple. Since Jian Yuyan is one of the male protagonists, he must have some indescribable relationship with the female protagonist. According to the nature of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, such a theme as incest between brother and sister will never appear. Therefore, the identity of this biological brother must be fake. The heroine or Jian Yuyan must have another identity, and it must be very complicated.
Yan Yiming officially entered the game this morning. After learning more about it, he found that this identity was no less than that of Jian Yuer, the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion.
The Chen-Xia Dynasty was established only more than fifty years ago. When Emperor Taizu first pacified the country, Yan Yiming's grandfather, now Duke Dingguo, was the most capable arm of Emperor Taizu. He defeated the enemy and once saved Emperor Taizu's life in the chaos of battle. Therefore, Emperor Taizu was particularly kind to the Yan family.
As for Yan Yiming's current identity, the granddaughter of Duke Dingguo, she fell in love with Nangong Xuan at first sight since she was a child, and vowed not to marry anyone other than Nangong Xuan in her life.
The most beautiful girl in the capital, Yan's daughter, declared that she would not marry anyone but Nangong Xuan. Although Nangong Xuan never mentioned this directly, he never denied it when others mentioned it. Nangong Xuan didn't feel anything dislike about having an admirer who was both prominent and beautiful, and the Yan family's identity was a great help to him.
It was not until he saw Jian Yuer later that he turned against her.
Yan Yiming vaguely remembered this part of the plot, but he was the heroine when he played the game. At that time, standing from Jian Yuer's perspective, he didn't know that this beautiful cannon fodder was so miserable, and he didn't know that Nangong Xuan had already made an appointment with Miss Yan. He only learned the details of the plot now.
No wonder the young lady behind was so jealous that she went crazy. In a rage, she wanted to slap Jian Yuer but was slapped hard by Nangong Xuan. She became even more crazy after being heartbroken and embarked on the path of a vicious female supporting role from then on.
After sorting out everything, Yan Yiming understood even more that the excuse told to her today was definitely not what Nangong Xuan said, but was the intention of Jian Yuxian. After all, Jian Yuxian was also one of the male protagonists. If Yan Yiming knew that the female protagonist Jian Yuer was also present today, based on Yan Yiming's obsession with Nangong Xuan, how much hatred would this bring to Jian Yuer.
Poor Miss Yan hadn't been able to sleep well for many days because of today's appointment, but she didn't know that the man she liked didn't care about her at all and was only devoted to Jian Yuer; as for Jian Yuxian, he brought these things just to protect Jian Yuer.
Yan Yiming was playing with the priceless bead that Lumei mentioned. Amid the exclamations of Lumei and the other maids, he turned into a parabola and fell into the lake.
Lu Mei screamed and leaned on the guardrail beside the pavilion, anxiously saying, "Miss, you... this was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Yan Yiming clapped his hands lightly, as if brushing off dust, "So what if it was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Is our house short of a few pearls?" After saying that, he glanced at a few maids in the distance who were grinning from ear to ear. He smiled at Lu Mei, who looked distressed, and said, "If you like pearls, take my pearl later."
Lu Mei was slightly startled.
It was no secret how obsessed the young lady was with the prince. The prince once accidentally broke a ring, and the young lady carefully treasured the broken ring. But now, the South Pearl that the prince personally gave her was thrown into the lake without mercy.
Moreover, there was no reluctance on Yan Yiming's face, and he didn't even have any expression, as if what he had just thrown in was not a jewel, but an ordinary pebble.
Yan Yiming clearly remembered that when they were playing the game, Nangong Xuan gave Jian Yuer a bucket of South China pearls. There was a faint golden color on the beads, which was the color of the most precious Tahitian pearls, and not so ordinary.
Seeing that Lu Mei was still dumbfounded, Yan Yiming smiled and said, "If you just like this..." Yan Yiming dragged out a long tone and pinched the little girl's round face, "Then have someone get it back and let you play with it later."
"Miss!" Lu Mei screamed. She was unable to react at the moment and even thought that her young lady had gone crazy. The people behind him were also shocked. How could they fish it out from such a big lake? And how could a maid like her use such fine pearls! And it was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
For a moment, she didn't understand what Yan Yiming was doing, but when she saw Yan Yiming stand up, Lu Mei still followed Yan Yiming to the lake obediently, "Miss, where are we going now?"
"Let's go to Fuyu Mountain," Yan Yiming curled his lips and smiled.
To catch an adulterer.
