[Based on the host's own conditions, the cannon fodder character you are matched with in this world is a beautiful concubine who, because of her fortune, was sent to the warlord's mansion by her impoverished scholar father to bring good luck to her seriously ill master.]
Bai Yuzhi frowned: "Don't tell me that the target of this attack is this seriously ill master."
It sounds like he is an old man who is too old and sick to move.
The system quickly denied this.
[Of course not! This old man died on the day of your wedding! Your target is his son!]
White jade: Wuhu, exciting.
[Loading this world's information for the host, the host must do his best this time~]
A flood of world information poured in. This time the main plot of the world was actually not complicated, but the relationships between the characters still took Bai Yuzhi some time to sort out.
This world, like most of the previous ones, is a small world constructed with the heroine as the main character.
The heroine Xu Lanyin is the youngest daughter of the Xu family, the most aristocratic family in Shanghai and Sichuan. As a daughter born in old age, Xu Lanyin is especially favored by the Xu family. This favor is reflected in the fact that Xu Lanyin is the only girl in the Xu family who can go to England to study.
Xu Lan received Western education in England from the age of thirteen to twenty, so she inevitably developed a resistance to the Xu family mansion, which was full of Chinese education. It was not until she heard that Mr. Xu was seriously ill that she had to rush back to the Xu family in Huchuan from England.
This time, he happened to catch up with the wedding banquet of the Ninth Concubine, where his original body was carried into the Xu family's gate in a sedan chair to bring good luck.
The original body's life experience was much more tragic than that of Xu Lanyin, the lucky young lady.
My grandfather was a Jinshi (Jinshi) in the last Qing dynasty, but before he could achieve anything, the Qing dynasty fell. After the foreigners invaded, he was labeled an example for his radical anti-foreign stance, becoming a victim of the times.
The original body's father was also a weak and pedantic scholar under the education of his grandfather. When his grandfather was alive, he could barely make a living by relying on his grandfather's talent. But after his grandfather passed away, the father, who had nothing but great ambitions, began to drink, and the little wealth he had saved was quickly squandered.
Not only did his family wealth disappear, he even developed a habit of drinking and having sex. His original mother was a virtuous woman, but she fell ill after a series of blows, leaving him an orphan.
Soon, the original body's father actually brought back a concubine from outside. This concubine also brought a daughter who was about the same age as the original body. She fooled the original body's father and made him bewildered. He owed a large foreign debt for the mother and daughter.
This debt is not so easy to owe. The situation is turbulent and anyone who can lend money has some military and political background. The original father could not pay back the money, so he set his sights on his own daughter under the deception of the concubine.
The concubine whispered to the original body's father the news that the master of the Xu family was seriously ill and needed a young girl to bring him good luck. The incompetent man immediately thought of selling his children.
Just like that, the good young lady who was originally raised by her grandfather as a lady from a noble family and never left the house was sold to the Xu family by her own father and became a concubine for good luck.
But it was fate, and on the night that the original body got married, the master of the Xu family died of suffocation.
The wife who was supposed to bring good luck to her husband turned out to be a jinx to her husband, and was to be called the ninth concubine and live as a widow for the rest of her life in the Xu family's mansion.
This is also the reason why the heroine Xu Lan has an intersection with her original body.
Xu Lanyin is a person with a very strange temper. She was born into the ruling class Xu family, which makes her have a kind of arrogance, a sense of pride that is deep in her bones.
But at the same time, Xu Lanyin is extremely pro-Western. In this turbulent China, Xu Lanyin looks down equally on all those who do not accept Western ideas.
This led to Xu Lan saying that she advocated freedom and human rights, but in her heart she felt that only noble people were worthy of the word "human rights".
It can be said that she has a kind of simple badness that makes her take it for granted to vent her dissatisfaction on others.
The original body was such an unlucky cannon fodder.
The result of her marriage was that Mr. Xu died on the spot, so Xu Lan looked down on her as a woman who had "no integrity" and married for the purpose of marriage, and she was even more angry with the original body because of Mr. Xu's death.
Therefore, Xu Lanyin tried almost every way to torture the original body. She especially loved to bring the original owner to various gatherings of young ladies who had returned from studying abroad and watch the original owner make a fool of herself.
Not only that, Xu Lanyin even dragged the daughter of the original body's aunt to come and laugh at the original body's joke.
Xu Lanyin was like this, and so were the other people in the Xu family.
All of them used their own methods to exclude the original body, perhaps by ignoring it, perhaps by humiliating it, or perhaps by smilingly saying hurtful words. In short, the original body hardly had a good day in the Xu family.
But how could the heroine of a world be so bad?
How could the Xu family, who doted on the original owner so much, be full of villains?
All of the above is just a brief summary of the background of the world's development. The real story begins after the death of the original body.
That's right, the original body died, dying from day-to-day torture. Because the original body was a sentimental woman, her death in such circumstances was particularly absurd. She was actually ill, but the maid who waited on her thought she was being hypocritical and didn't even call a doctor, letting her die in the middle of the night.
The death of the original body is the opportunity for the heroine and the entire Xu family to transform.
It sounds very absurd. Because the original body died so tragically, the evil girl Xu Lanyin suddenly woke up and realized that she should advocate true ideological liberation and equality for all. So Xu Lanyin led the Xu family to reflect and repent, and started her career as a female writer who criticized the social ills of the time.
Therefore, the original body was just a cannon fodder tool living in the background to promote the ideological progress of the heroine.
What Bai Yuzhi found most outrageous was that after this growing heroine became successful, she confessed in the newspaper, saying that the last thing she had done in her youth was to cause a poor woman to die in Xu Jiayu's house.
Then, he said a famous saying that made people cry:
"It's a pity that she didn't get to see what I look like now. If she were still alive and saw that the world is peaceful and prosperous now, and no woman dies absurdly anymore, she would probably forgive me."
It has received praise from many people.
However, after seeing this, Bai Yuzhi only wanted to say.
So what? Does it have anything to do with me? Am I enjoying the so-called peace and prosperity?
He had previously turned a blind eye to the suffering of others, but now pretends to be nice after someone dies.
Even the original owner's death can become a stepping stone for her to become famous. This is really...
It's disgusting.
