"Master, please don't do anything rash."
He had just opened his eyes when he heard a cacophony of crying around him.
He looked up.
What the hell.
Three attractive women were gathered around the bed.
They were all dressed up in their finest attire.
Although they were all wiping away tears with handkerchiefs, their eyes were clearly dry; where did the tears come from for them to wipe?
"go out."
"master--"
"Get out, everyone, and leave me alone."
"master--"
"If you don't leave, don't blame me for changing my attitude."
Ning Hong's face darkened, and the three women quickly shut up and left in unison.
He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, and then unconsciously touched his face.
Holy crap, that full beard!
No, he should feel relieved. At least he's not a eunuch anymore, since he can grow such a long beard.
He closed his eyes and began to absorb the plot.
This is another fictional world, not belonging to any dynasty in history.
Although it is also the Tang Dynasty, the emperor here was surnamed Song.
His original form was the Duke of Wei.
He could be considered to have wielded immense power.
Of course, this is not a derogatory term.
It is, in a positive sense.
The current emperor ascended the throne at the age of six.
When the late emperor passed away, he personally handed the young emperor over to him, asking him to assist the young emperor in consolidating his power.
The original owner did it.
He personally protected the young emperor, helping him to secure his rule step by step, and taught him how to handle state affairs.
When the young emperor was fourteen years old, he returned power to him.
The relationship between the ruler and his subject was very deep.
Like father and son.
Of course, if the original owner of the body, Duke Wei, were the male protagonist of this world, he would definitely be able to go smoothly all the way until he was old and gray, and be able to retire peacefully and return to his hometown.
However, they are not.
The female protagonist, Su Yuan, is a time-traveling woman.
She was heartbroken after her boyfriend cheated on her in modern times, and then she got into a car accident and was transported to this world.
She dressed up as a widow.
A fat and ugly widow from the countryside who was kicked out of her home by her in-laws.
After being kicked out of her home, the widow wanted to return to her parents' home, but they refused to accept her and she was subjected to various forms of humiliation by her sister-in-law.
Overwhelmed with grief, she chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river.
The moment I opened my eyes, I found myself in a different body.
This widow became the modern-day Su Yuan.
Unable to bear her ugly figure and appearance, Su Yuan began to lose weight, get beauty treatments, and even start her own business.
She opened a restaurant and a hot pot restaurant with the richest man in town.
I made soap and matches with the prefect's son.
Later, he met the original owner of the body, the Duke of Wei, and they made glass together.
Most importantly, she became more and more beautiful and captivating every day, and all the partners who had worked with her fell in love with her.
Including the original body.
Of course, the original owner of this body was never within Su Yuan's selection range from the very beginning.
Su Yuan is twenty years old this year, but the original owner of this body is already in her thirties.
He had a full beard and a wife and concubine at home.
Although his wife had passed away, his three concubines were still alive.
He even had a daughter who became an empress.
The thing the original owner regretted most in her life was meeting Su Yuan.
Even after being rejected by Su Yuan, he still relentlessly pursued her.
Left with no other choice, Su Yuan sought out the Seventh Prince.
This seventh prince was the late emperor's youngest brother. He was incredibly handsome and only a few years older than the emperor.
In the process of spending time with Su Yuan, he gradually fell in love with her.
And he neglected his wife, Ning Zixi.
Ning Zixi is the younger sister that the original owner wanted to protect.
"Sigh—" Ning Hong sighed softly.
This Su Yuan seems to have a Mary Sue aura about her.
Otherwise, how could every man in the world, whether outstanding or not, love her so deeply?
Even the emperor, whom he raised, eventually fell in love with Su Yuan.
It's just that I can't get what I want.
After all, Su Yuan and the Seventh Prince were already in love at that time. Moreover, Su Yuan was unwilling to enter the palace.
The emperor, unwilling to see her suffer, silently protected her and helped her overcome all difficulties.
As for his sister—
Su Yuan repeatedly says she wants a lifelong, monogamous relationship, which is perfectly understandable.
But for her sake, the Seventh Prince deliberately watched his sister die in childbirth.
Upon hearing of her sister's death, the original owner of this body suddenly realized the truth, but at this moment Su Yuan had already taken up residence in the Seventh Prince's mansion.
The Seventh Prince kept saying that he married his sister in order to curry favor with him, the powerful Duke of Wei, completely forgetting that it was he who knelt before him and begged him to marry his sister to him.
He still remembers the joy that burst forth in his eyes when he nodded; it didn't seem fake.
They once loved each other so deeply, but now they are so indifferent.
They got married during the mourning period.
The young emperor personally bestowed the marriage upon him.
He was truly noble, willing to personally betroth his beloved daughter to someone else.
His daughter, Ning Changxi, had clashed with Su Yuan before that, and she didn't fare well either. She was deposed by the young emperor and spent her last days in the cold palace.
Although the emperor did not lay a hand on the original owner of this body, her daughter was imprisoned in the cold palace and could not be seen, her sister died, and the emperor also took back all power.
The original owner hoped to protect her younger sister and daughter.
