Chapter 1
"The bride married a rooster!"
"The bride married a rooster!"
...
Outside the Du Mansion gate on Yongxiang Street in Beijing, a group of children shouted slogans with surprise and excitement.
Rong Rong had just stepped out of the bridal sedan chair and was being led by the groom to the gate of the Du residence when she heard this and immediately stopped in her tracks.
He gripped her hand tightly the moment he touched it, as if afraid she would run away.
"Miss! The groom isn't Young Master Du! This wedding can't go ahead!"
The maid Cui Cui cried out in alarm and rushed forward to stop her mistress, but she was blocked first and held down so that she could not get any closer to Rong Rong.
"Miss! Let me go! This is a marriage scam!" Cui Cui struggled desperately.
"How dare you! You dare to cause trouble in front of the Du residence? Smash her mouth!"
The groom gave the butler a cold look and a sneer. Immediately, someone covered Cui Cui's mouth and slapped her several times.
The Rong family members who were escorting Rong Rong rushed forward to rescue her, but they were all stopped by the servants of the Du family who were prepared.
Rong Rong turned to run away, but the man holding her hand held her firmly and easily led her towards the gate of the Du residence.
"Is sister-in-law going to break off the engagement?" A hoarse male voice sounded in her ear. "The Du family doesn't look down on the Rong family's decline and is willing to fulfill the marriage agreement, which is already a great favor to the Rong family. You have no right to run away from the engagement!"
"Don't forget, you chose your own marriage partner."
The man's words carried a threat, and Rong Rong instantly recognized him as the third brother of the eldest son of the Du family, whom she was to marry.
When Rong Rong met him last month, he was still a cripple, supposedly crippled after falling off his horse.
Rong Rong looked at the person next to her through the veil and saw that the other person's legs were intact, and there was no sign of limping at all.
"You're faking being disabled?" Rong Rong asked incredulously.
Du Shaoqun's ears twitched. He felt that his new sister-in-law's voice was indeed soft and alluring, and not entirely without merit.
"What's this pretense? I just happened to meet a miracle doctor who cured my leg." Du Shaoqun curled his lips into a wicked smile, clearly in a very good mood.
"Really? What a coincidence! Could it be that the miracle doctor also cured the second young master Du, who was burned and disfigured?" Rong Rong mocked.
Du Shaoqun's smile widened. "Of course."
"Pah! Despicable and shameless!" Rong Rong spat fiercely, but her delicate voice sounded like she was just being coquettish even when she was cursing, and it had no power to hurt anyone.
Before the Du family rose to prominence, the two families had arranged a marriage between their ancestors. After Du's father became the Vice Minister of War and moved the family to the capital, the two families lost contact.
Last month, the Rong family sent a letter mentioning the marriage agreement, and the Du family readily responded, even inviting Rong Rong to their residence to meet and personally choose her husband.
Rong's father praised the Du family for keeping their promises, but little did he expect that the Du family would betray the Rong family.
At that time, the second young master of the Du family was burned and disfigured, and the third young master was crippled. Rong Rong had no other choice but to choose the eldest young master of the Du family, who looked the most normal and dignified.
But now it seems that this young master Du is definitely problematic, otherwise why would his younger brother have to carry a rooster during the wedding?
"So what if it's intentional? What can the Rong family do? Believe me, if the Du family wants it, no one from the Rong family will leave the capital alive!"
Du Shaoqun scoffed disdainfully. How could he, the legitimate son of a third-rank official in the capital, marry a country girl?
Or is she a merchant's daughter who has neither talent nor beauty?
It's only because his older brother was born mentally challenged that this woman got such a good marriage; otherwise, where would she find such a good match?
To be honest, he felt quite sorry for his older brother.
Du Shaoqun pursed his lips, grabbed Rong Rong's hand, and strode into the Du residence.
Rong Rong struggled and tried to call for help, but Du Shaoqun quickly pressed Rong Rong's acupoint to silence her.
As for the Rong family members, those who behaved well were allowed to enter the mansion, while those who made a ruckus were quietly taken to the backyard by the Du family servants who were already prepared.
The Rong family was poor and powerless, being far from home, and unable to help Rong Rong, so they could only let the wedding proceed.
As soon as she arrived at the main hall, two maids came over and supported Rong Rong on either side. The two maids were very strong and forced Rong Rong to bow to Du Shaoqun, who was holding a rooster.
"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bowing to the parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
The surrounding area was filled with laughter and joy, and congratulations and auspicious words never stopped.
It wasn't that no one noticed the bride's unusual behavior; it's just that the Du family had already publicized the marriage agreement between the Du and Rong families.
Furthermore, no one wanted to antagonize Du's father, so how could anyone take notice of a weak woman's resistance?
After the ceremony concluded, Rong Rong was locked alone in the bridal chamber by a domineering maid.
"666, was my acting okay?"
Inside the system space, Rong Rong excitedly asked her system, where a chubby, white figure resembling a glutinous rice ball was floating in mid-air, its short limbs waving and its face flushed red.
"Host is great!"
666 was extremely excited, not because its host had completed the task, but because it was captivated by its host's beauty.
In the quiet room, bathed in warm, dim light, a woman sat upright on the bright red wedding bed.
The woman had a beautiful forehead and delicate eyebrows, her features were exquisitely drawn, and her face seemed to have been meticulously painted.
The reflection on the ground alone is a stunningly beautiful picture, let alone the woman herself.
Her red dress burned like fire, her skin glowed white, and her hair was as black as ink. Her colors were vivid and intense, making her breathtakingly beautiful even more so than her shadow.
One is vibrant and bright, the other is ink wash painting; two different styles, yet both are equally captivating.
666 wiped away non-existent drool from the corner of his mouth and sighed again.
It, a newborn little system, was actually fortunate enough to be bound to such a great treasure. It is simply a chosen system!
"Host is really amazing! Let's keep up the good work!" 666 cheered Rong Rong on happily.
Rong Rong's eyebrows curved into a smile, and 666 instantly glared at the ground and crashed straight down.
Rong Rong is a mission taker, and she and System 666 belong to the female supporting character department of the Quick Transmigration Bureau.
Her main job is to play the role of a female supporting character who suddenly disappears for various reasons, and to take her place in the rest of the story.
Of course, one must not deviate from one's established character during the process, unless there is a plausible reason that can deceive the Heavenly Dao of the Small World.
To make the taskers feel more immersed, the female supporting character they play has the same physical data as the original character.
As for the change in the female supporting character's appearance, Heaven will automatically make it reasonable.
This world is the first world Rong Rong transmigrated to, and Rong Rong is also the first host bound to System 666 after it was created.
Neither of them were experienced, so they were excited but also very cautious when doing the task.
"So I've successfully completed my first task and earned the corresponding points?" Rong Rong asked curiously.
"That's right!"
Task one is very simple: Rong Rong, the female supporting character, is to marry Du Shaofeng, the male lead who is mentally challenged.
This is a romantic love story about a modern-day domineering CEO who transmigrates into the body of a simple-minded young master in ancient times, achieves great success in the imperial court, and meets, gets to know, and falls in love with a kind and innocent heroine.
The main role of the female supporting character is to drive the plot forward.
In the early stages, the female supporting character was tricked by the Du family into marrying the mentally challenged male lead. Dissatisfied with the marriage, she tried to seduce the male lead's younger brother but failed, so she pushed the mentally challenged male lead off a cliff.
The male protagonist was lucky enough to be saved by the female protagonist. When he woke up again, his soul had become a domineering CEO from the modern world.
The male and female protagonists gradually develop feelings for each other while living together. Later, the male protagonist is found by the Du family, which initiates a power struggle in the imperial court.
During this time, the female supporting character, who learned that the male lead had been ennobled and was no longer mentally impaired, attempted to return to the Du family to continue being the Marquis's wife. She even made a move on the kind-hearted female lead, forcing the male lead to realize his love for her.
In the end, the male and female leads became a couple, and the vicious female supporting character also received her just deserts.
