The sounds of gongs, drums, and firecrackers filled the air.
Li Ruo rolled over in bed, unable to bear it any longer, and jumped up.
"Ruo'er, Ruo'er, you're awake!" An excited voice rang out, and then an old, toothless face appeared in front of her.
"Who are you?" Li Ruo was a little flustered. This old lady looked exactly like her deceased grandmother.
"I'm your grandma!" The old lady's face was so excited that the wrinkles on her face seemed to jump up and down, but she noticed that her granddaughter's face was full of fear.
Li Ruo looked around.
Antique and charming? Is this the underworld?
She finally got a break from her commander, but then a tsunami hit the island. Is she going to die?
The living environment in the underworld is not bad, and it's quite lively.
Her hearing was exceptional; she could hear not only the loud gongs and drums outside, but also the bustling crowd, as if a wedding was taking place.
The old woman was still chattering away, “Thank God, you’re finally awake. That Song Zhijing is no human being. You were only in a coma for half a year, not even dead yet, and he’s already taking a second wife.”
Li Ruo keenly noticed a word, "Song Zhijing?" Why does this name sound so familiar?
suddenly.
A thought suddenly struck her.
Could it be Song Zhijing from that online novel she read before? There was a woman in the book with the same name as her, who was also the daughter of a general. She found it interesting, so she glanced at chapters 100-150.
Suddenly, memories that didn't belong to her flooded her mind...
About two minutes later.
Li Ruo discovered that she had transmigrated into a book.
I walked right into a wedding scene, but I wasn't the bride?
It was her husband's wedding to someone else!
Her husband is Song Zhijing, the current prefect of Yuzhou, who had been engaged to the original owner of this body long ago. The original owner of this body was the daughter of General Li Hongjie, who was a loyal and heroic family. Unfortunately, in a battle, Li Hongjie and his son both died on the battlefield, and their remains were never found.
His Majesty, in order to comfort the surviving elders and orphans of the Li family, agreed to grant them one wish.
The original owner was afraid that the Song family would be unwilling to fulfill the marriage agreement because of the decline of the Li family, so he begged his grandmother to use this wish on him.
Song Zhi was appointed to the lucrative post of Prefect of Yuzhou.
Song Zhijing immediately swore to the heavens that he would never betray his beloved in this life, or else he would be struck by lightning.
A month later, he kept his promise and married the original owner of the body.
Who knew that on their wedding night, the Song family mansion was robbed, and the original owner's head was smashed open, leaving him unconscious.
He remained unconscious for half a year, and seeing that the original owner would not wake up, Song Zhijing remarried.
My god, that guy surnamed Song is so heartless, he couldn't even last six months. What a bastard.
However, Li Ruo didn't care who he married. In the book, Song Zhi was not even a male supporting character. The reason he had a role was because he was the prefect of Yuzhou.
A corrupt official who, when a great flood came, disregarded the people and fled by boat with his newlywed wife and family.
Later, as food became increasingly scarce, he felt that the original owner and his family were a burden. Heeding the advice of his mother and his new wife, he made a ruthless decision and threw them all into the water.
The original owner and her family tragically drowned. It was only thanks to the passing male protagonist that they were able to collect their bodies and avoid becoming food for refugees.
Therefore, Song Zhijing's existence is entirely to highlight the male protagonist's lofty and glorious heroic image.
As for the original owner, she wasn't even a passerby; she existed only to highlight the corruption, callousness, and cowardice of Prefect Song.
She actually wore it on this woman.
"Oh, Grandma, what day is it today?"
Seeing her startled reaction, Old Lady Li thought she had gone mad with grief. "Ruo'er, don't be afraid. Now that you're awake, let's go and make him cancel the wedding."
There's no such thing as marrying a second wife while the first wife is still alive.
How could Li Ruoneng not be afraid? A great flood! It will inundate eight thousand miles, from south to north, from east to west. The entire Dayin will be submerged in a vast ocean, and the flood will not recede until three years later.
As for the reason, it is unknown. That's how the original author set it up. If the author says it's the end of the world, then it is the end of the world. If the author says it will be a certain number of years, then it will be that number of years.
"Grandma, I'm asking about the year, month, and day."
Old Lady Li: "The 14th day of the ninth month of the sixth year of Zhaoren."
Li Ruo's heart skipped a beat: Wasn't there only twenty-odd days left until the great flood?
She remembers October 10th very clearly.
Old Mrs. Li was so anxious: the wedding ceremony was about to take place outside!
"Come on!" She pulled her obviously distracted granddaughter and walked towards the main hall.
Inside the main hall, the bride and groom, holding a large red silk ribbon, stood before the officiant, ready to perform the wedding ceremony.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth!" The official's voice was filled with joy. "Second—"
"Wait!"
Everyone was startled to see the hunchbacked old woman pulling out a beautiful woman who looked as if she hadn't woken up yet.
Li Ruo: Time travel is such a big deal, what's wrong with me taking a few minutes to process it?
"You—you're awake!" Song Zhijing was extremely shocked and was the first to shout it out, followed by his mother, Madam Xu, and other relatives, all of whom showed expressions of disbelief.
The bride was also shocked and lifted her veil.
Only then did Li Ruo look at them.
Oh, Song Zhijing, that scoundrel, is actually quite handsome. His bright red wedding robes accentuate his extraordinary dashing appearance. Having been tricked into becoming the prefect, he exudes a certain aura.
"Why didn't you let anyone know you were awake first?" he said, slightly annoyed. "What kind of behavior is it to come out dressed like this?"
See, instead of being pleasantly surprised to see her, he blamed her for being poorly dressed.
Li Ruo, dressed in a thick undergarment and wearing a cloak, didn't find it indecent at all, and asked with a smile, "Oh, is this the bride? She's quite pretty."
There was such a person in the original owner's memories.
Zhang Shu'er, the second legitimate daughter of the Prince of Runan.
When Song Zhijing first became the prefect of Yuzhou, he hosted a banquet for people from all walks of life. Zhang Shuer accompanied the Prince of Runan to the banquet and frequently looked at Song Zhijing during the meal.
