Chapter 480: The Thousand-Year-Old (1)
#Millennium
*
Wen Wan suddenly woke up, only to find that someone had tightly strangled her with a cloth, and the surrounding air was getting thinner and thinner.
Was she about to be strangled? The fear of death swept over her in an instant.
She had just transmigrated when Wen Wan reached out and grabbed the person opposite her, then kicked hard with her feet, finally knocking a jade pillow to the floor with a loud thud. While tearing at it, Wen Wan also grabbed the black face mask on the other person's face.
The other party quickly knocked Wen Wan unconscious and then disappeared.
Wen Yan: "..."
This is outrageous! When Wen Wan woke up, her throat was sore. "System, system, what's going on? What kind of person have I transmigrated into?"
System: [The deposed crown prince.]
"What?"
System: [Host, the identity of this body you possess is that of the deposed crown prince.]
Wen Yan: "???"
Wen Wan quickly touched her lower body and found that there was no such thing, so she breathed a sigh of relief. However, her chest was completely flat, and more importantly, she was almost unable to breathe because of the tightness.
Clearly, there were strips of cloth wrapped tightly around her chest.
Fortunately, she was still a woman; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to accept suddenly becoming a man. Soon, she obtained the plot of this world from the system.
This is a book called "The Thousand-Year-Old's Unbridled Pampering".
The male protagonist... is a eunuch.
Eunuch novel?
Wen Wan read on with great interest. The male protagonist, Gu Li, had an extremely tragic background. He lost both his parents at a young age and was raised by his aunt's family. However, his aunt's family treated him badly, constantly beating and scolding him, not giving him food, not allowing him to continue his studies, and even making him work to earn money to send his aunt's children to school.
Later, when he was sixteen, the palace began recruiting eunuchs and palace maids. His heartless aunt knocked him unconscious and sent him to the palace, all for a small sum of money.
Sixteen-year-old Gu Li entered the palace and became a eunuch.
Wen Wan couldn't bear to watch any longer.
After that, Gu Li was constantly bullied, but he gradually grew stronger and eventually climbed to a high position, becoming the Ninth Prince. He even eventually controlled the court, turning the emperor into a puppet and completely sidelining him.
The female lead, Jiang Mingyue, is the daughter of a high-ranking official. She is a kind woman who once helped the male lead and was always remembered by him. However, because of her physical disability, the male lead did not pursue her but instead became her supporter. In the end, he helped her become the empress, a position above all others.
The one who ascended the throne was the third prince, Qi Jiao.
The original owner's... third brother.
The original body is Qi Yu, the Empress's "legitimate son". She was originally a girl, but in order to protect her own position, the Empress forcibly turned her into a boy and killed all those who knew about it.
Later, Qi Yu was kept by the Empress's side, and everyone serving her was the Empress's person. Unsurprisingly, she became the Crown Prince.
However, the original owner of this body was truly hopeless, neither good at literature nor martial arts, basically good at nothing, and had the heart of a vicious female supporting character, so her reputation was not very good.
Later, the empress's maternal family betrayed the enemy, and her entire clan was executed. The empress was also stripped of her position, shaved her head, and became a nun, spending her days with the ancient Buddha and the dim lamp.
The original owner of this body, who was the crown prince, was naturally deposed immediately and imprisoned in the cold palace.
The original owner of this body couldn't accept the change, so she started causing all sorts of trouble, and the one who was sent to serve her at that time was the male protagonist.
As you can imagine, the male protagonist was subjected to all sorts of humiliation by the original owner of the body, being beaten and verbally abused, and even nearly killed several times.
Wen Wan broke out in a cold sweat.
That's practically suicide.
Later, the crown prince died in the cold palace. Everyone said it was from catching a cold, and no one cared. But it was obviously not that simple. He was definitely killed by the male protagonist.
Later, the male protagonist became the Ninth Prince, a position second only to the emperor.
The female protagonist became the mother of a nation.
The affair between a puppet emperor, the "Nine Thousand Years Old," and the Empress Dowager is quite obvious; it's definitely not a simple affair.
This was the original plot, but it ended poorly. The reason for the poor ending was that the female lead was somehow transported to another world halfway through the story.
This is outrageous! Wen Wan continued watching, completely bewildered, halfway through.
The female protagonist dies in an accident, and a soul from another world enters her body. The transmigrator doesn't love the male protagonist and is solely focused on helping her husband seize the throne. In the end, she kills the male protagonist and becomes the empress through her own efforts.
The male lead... is a complete victim of injustice.
That's terrible. This ending is even worse than the original owner's.
After all, the original owner of this body grew up in luxury for the first twenty years of her life, while Gu Li received no special treatment from childhood to adulthood. Even when she finally met the angelic female lead, the angel turned into a little devil and took her life.
miserable.
Wen Wan: "So what is my task?"
System: [Survive, prevent the transmigrated woman from killing the male protagonist, protect him, and ensure his career path remains intact.]
Wen Wan understood.
Unfortunately, the timing of her arrival is just as bad as when all her powerful backers have collapsed, her mother has become a nun, and she has become the deposed crown prince, living in the cold palace.
The male protagonist was clearly bullied by the original owner of the body for quite some time.
The one who tried to kill her last night was clearly the male protagonist.
Unexpectedly, this opening was a terrible one; the difficulty level was just too high.
"The male lead wants to kill me now, this is so hard for me."
System: [Good luck, host! And to make the experience more immersive, you're using your own body this time! Go for it!!!]
Wen Yan: "..."
...
Just then, a palace maid opened the door and came in. "Master, you're awake? How did you sleep last night?"
Wen Wan: "It's alright."
This palace maid is named Xiao Cui. She is the only person in the palace besides the Empress who is genuinely kind to the original owner of this body. Her mother was the original owner's wet nurse when she was a child, and Xiao Cui grew up with the original owner of this body.
Although the original owner of this body was unkind to everyone, Xiao Cui was the only person she trusted.
"Is Your Highness hungry? I just went to the kitchen and got some food. Please eat something."
Soon Xiao Cui came over with a lunchbox. When Wen Wan opened it, she frowned. There were two white steamed buns, and they were obviously not freshly steamed, but had been left overnight, as the outer shells were hard.
There was also a bowl of very thin porridge and a plate of stir-fried vegetable leaves that looked unappetizing.
Wen Yan: "..."
He's a prince, how can he only eat this much every day?
This is just too tragic!
Xiao Cui thought her mistress was unhappy, so she quickly said, "Mistress, I'll go find something good to eat at noon. We'll just have something simple for breakfast. Once the people sent by the Empress arrive, our lives will be much better."
"Mother Empress? She can still send people?"
Xiao Cui: "Her Majesty the Empress has many trusted people. Although she is currently imprisoned, Her Majesty will surely find a way. Please be patient a little longer, Your Majesty."
Wen Wan nodded, and just then Xiao Cui's stomach growled, "You should eat too."
Wen Wan handed Xiao Cui a steamed bun.
"No, Master, this is for Master to eat."
Wen Wan: "If you starve to death, who will take care of me? Xiao Cui, you have to take good care of yourself too, you're all I have left."
Xiao Cui was deeply moved, and the two of them quickly finished the food. Although it wasn't very tasty, they were so hungry that they could eat anything.
Wen Wan glanced at her living place, which was not bad. Moreover, what she had kicked down last night was actually a jade pillow, which was worth a lot of money. She couldn't let it break, so Wen Wan quickly picked up the jade pillow.
