My consciousness was hazy, and a mechanical voice, devoid of any emotion, rang in my ears.

Current time-to-flow ratio: 1:1; system will be operational for 48 hours.
"Miss? Miss, are you alright? Waaah..."
Jin Shu was awakened by crying.
Opening her eyes, Jin Shu saw a light gauze curtain above her head and a brocade quilt covering her body. Looking at the green-clad maid kneeling in front of her, weeping sadly, Jin Shu knew that she had come to ancient times.
"Why are you crying? Stop crying."
"Miss, the carriage that's bringing you off is almost at the door. We need to pack our things and get ready to go."
It's getting late outside. Should we set off now? Where to?
Asking further questions would be pointless, so Jin Shu simply nodded and said something.
"You go pack your things first. I feel dizzy and will get up after lying down for a while."
The little maid left in tears, and only after I had some peace and quiet did the plot of this world come rushing in all at once.
At this moment, she would experience intense dizziness. Jin Shu had long been used to closing her eyes. After sorting out the general plot, she slowly opened her eyes and gave a cold smile.
What a pair of despicable people, crossing the river and then discarding the bridge, killing the donkey after it has done its work.
The original owner, Jin Shu, was the legitimate daughter of a marquis. When she was born, the imperial advisor said before he died, "The legitimate daughter of the marquis is a goddess sent from heaven. Whoever obtains this woman will rule the world."
From then on, she became the most favored noblewoman of the late emperor, and the four princes of the court went to great lengths to get close to and please her in order to seize the throne.
Of the four princes, the original owner liked the second prince the most. He was handsome and intelligent, and had been very attentive to her since childhood. Gradually, the original owner also fell in love with him.
To ensure his ascension to the throne, she repeatedly used blood divination to help him escape danger and make him stand out in front of the late emperor. Step by step, she helped him go from an unknown prince born to a palace maid to being named crown prince. Then, when he was only one step away from the throne, a girl of similar age to the original owner appeared out of nowhere and claimed to be the real legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family.
The girl's name was Liang Qingqing. She was a palace maid serving the Empress Dowager. For many years, she had been serving the Empress Dowager in the palace. For some reason, she suddenly knelt down in front of the Golden Palace and cried out about her true identity.
Upon hearing this, the late emperor, knowing it concerned the fate of the nation, immediately arranged a blood test for kinship. The original owner of this body was also brought to the scene and witnessed, along with everyone else, the palace maid's blood and the marquis's blood quickly merging together.
However, the original owner's own blood could not be mixed with the Marquis's.
This completely stunned the entire court. No one had expected that the goddess who had been revered for eighteen years was actually a fake! And the real goddess had been suffering in the palace all along!
Now that the truth has come out, Lady Hou held the palace maid Liang Qingqing and cried uncontrollably, cursing Jin Shu, that imposter, for causing her own daughter to suffer for more than ten years.
The late emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Following the clues, it was quickly discovered that the midwife who delivered the baby that year held a grudge against the Lady Hou for publicly beating and scolding her, so she took the opportunity to switch the babies.
So, the real daughter of the Marquis's family took the opportunity to be exchanged for a pair of merchants who produced goods at a temple during their transport. Later, the merchants fell into decline, and Liang Qingqing entered the palace as a maid. As for why she suddenly learned about her true identity, that remains unknown.
In short, after that, the original owner's status plummeted. In an instant, she went from being the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family, the future empress, and a lucky charm, to a lowly and insignificant imposter.
This matter concerns the fate of the nation, and the late emperor was furious. He directly ordered the merchant's family to be exiled to the extremely cold northern frontier. While hesitating about how to deal with the original owner of the property, the late emperor suddenly passed away in the night due to excessive thinking.
Thus, the second prince, Huangfu Rong, ascended the throne as emperor in a natural manner.
Just when everyone thought that, given the affection between the Second Prince and the original owner over the years, he might still take her into the palace as a concubine, even if she couldn't become empress, she would still be a favored concubine with a high status.
The original owner thought so too. After being disliked by the Lady of the Marquis, ignored by the Marquis, and ostracized and neglected by her friends, she placed all her hopes on Huangfu Rong.
As a result, on the day the new emperor ascended the throne, he issued two edicts.
One punishment was to exile Jin Shu, the fake daughter of the Marquis's family, to the northern frontier along with her biological parents, forbidding her family from holding official positions for three generations, making them poor farmers for generations, and forbidding them from ever returning to the capital.
The second decree was to confer the title of Empress upon Liang Qingqing, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, and to grant a three-day general amnesty, with all people celebrating the joy of the Emperor and Empress together.
Two imperial edicts were issued at the same time, and the Marquis's mansion was overjoyed, decorating with lanterns and colorful streamers in preparation for the wedding. However, the original owner of the body was consumed by rage upon seeing the edicts and died of illness not long after being exiled.
After his death, his body was wrapped in a straw mat and carelessly left in the wilderness, leaving him without a proper burial.
Later, Liang Qingqing entered the palace, became empress, assisted the emperor in creating a prosperous era, solidified her reputation as a goddess, and was revered by the people of the world.
From an outsider's perspective, it's not hard to deduce from the plot that the male lead is Huangfu Rong, and the female lead is Liang Qingqing.
As for Jin Shu, she now has a god's-eye view, knowing that the original owner is in a book. In the book, she is portrayed as a spoiled and arrogant goddess who is pampered. The late emperor treats her like a precious jewel, bestows upon her countless fertile fields and tens of thousands of taels of gold, and grants her unparalleled honors, second only to the emperor.
She was arrogant and did whatever she wanted, never caring about what others thought.
The male protagonist of this story, Huangfu Rong, is a chosen one who endured humiliation and bullying under the oppression and bullying of the original owner of the body.
He never liked the original owner of this body, who was a good-for-nothing with only status and no substance. In order to get rid of his lowly status, he carefully plotted to win over the original owner. After gaining the original owner's favor, he finally stood out in front of the late emperor with his intelligence.
During the darkest decade or so of his life, a lowly palace maid silently stayed by his side, encouraging and comforting him, teaching him military strategy, and compiling an invincible military treatise for him.
That person is Liang Qingqing, the female protagonist of this story. She is a history major college student who transmigrated from the 21st century. She is well-versed in important turning points in history and secretly helps the important historical figure Huangfu Rong overcome obstacles and achieve great success while hiding in the harem.
She then copied Sun Tzu's Art of War into a book and gave it to the male protagonist.
Having never seen such an intelligent woman, Huangfu Rong was gradually attracted to her and fell in love with her.
After that, he was able to lead his troops to victory every time, and he was invincible. This made him even more convinced that Liang Qingqing was the most suitable woman for him.
So the two supported each other and endured together, until Huangfu Rong was appointed Crown Prince and until the late emperor was terminally ill. Finally, when the time was ripe, Huangfu Rong made early arrangements and everything was ready. So one day, Liang Qingqing cried and went to the Golden Palace.
Using the female protagonist's modern knowledge, she could easily manipulate blood to mix, thus forcing the original owner to become a fake heiress, relinquish her position as a goddess, and be banished to exile. (End of Chapter)
