Gu Jiangli opened her eyes wide and stood up abruptly from her chair, slowly figuring out the whole story.
"So... I'm in the Cold Palace now? I can't even step out of the palace gates unless summoned? I have to give birth to his child within a year while the emperor completely loathes me, hates me, and wishes he could tear me apart and eat my flesh? Plus the ten months of pregnancy... I have to make him completely forgive me and be willing to be affectionate with me within two months?"
"You could say that, honey."
Gu Jiangli laughed in exasperation, "Wow, do you want to hear what you're saying?"
The system wasn't angry at all at her sarcastic remarks; like a dedicated customer service representative, it comforted Gu Jiangli:
"Don't worry, dear, you have Zizai to help you. Zizai's shop has many useful items that can help you. Don't worry, we are a ten-star system, and our goal is to help you perfectly complete your plans."
Gu Jiangli let out a long breath.
Just take it, what can you do but terminate the contract?
"What prop? Tell me about it."
The system patiently explained:
"For example, we have a pill called 'One-Time Success Pill,' which guarantees you will conceive and give birth if you take it just a moment before your night with the emperor!"
"The 'pregnancy-preserving pill' will prevent miscarriage no matter how severe the external injury, or even if you take abortion pills."
"We also have the 'Twin Pregnancy Pill,' which guarantees twins. In addition, we have the 'Triple Pregnancy Pill,' 'Quadruple Pregnancy Pill,' 'Five Pregnancy Pill,' and so on..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Jiangli stopped him:
"Alright, alright, stop it, stop it. Given that your system has the ability to regenerate people, I have no doubt that you have some kind of abnormal item called 'One Pregnancy, Ten Fetuses Pill'."
The system replied with considerable pride: "Yes, dear, we do have it."
Gu Jiangli rolled her eyes.
Was she giving birth to a baby or a piglet?
"Honey, besides these practical props, we also have other things. Including but not limited to, understanding how each character is good or bad towards you, understanding each character's hidden preferences, judging whether a character is telling the truth or lying, and so on."
"Honey, all of the items mentioned above can be redeemed with points, which can be earned by completing tasks."
"For example, if you gain the emperor's favor, or successfully spend a romantic night with the emperor, or successfully become pregnant, you can increase your points."
"Since this is our first collaboration, Zizai is giving you a newbie gift pack, containing 1000 points!"
Gu Jiangli nodded, finally hearing something useful.
"Take one of those 'one-shot cure pills' first, you can always find a use for it."
[Ding! Your 'One-Shot Success Pill' has been credited to your account. Please check. You have 20 points remaining.]
"Wow! This little thing is quite expensive!" One piece cost her 980!
"My dear, it's worth every penny! Just think, with this pill, if you have the chance to spend just one night with the Emperor, just one night! You'll complete one-third of your mission!"
"...You have a point. Will I be able to exchange my remaining 20 for the type of woman the emperor prefers?"
[Ding! Your 'Emperor's Preference Type' has been successfully redeemed. Please check.]
[Key words for the type of woman Xiao Dingyuan likes: delicate and graceful, plump and frail, pitiful and charming]
So that's what he likes about women like that.
Simply put, her debut role was as a weak and innocent girl.
He returned to his old ways and mastered it with ease.
"Darling, you've used up your points. Now you can proceed with your personal plan to win over the Emperor. As this is our first collaboration, here's a friendly tip: if the Emperor is going to Consort Shu's Cheng'en Palace, his palanquin will inevitably pass by your Yilan Palace. This is your chance!"
"Also, you can make good use of your advantages, such as your beauty."
