888 proved his courage with his own actions, stiffening his neck and repeating: "-10!"
Lan Shuang "sat up in shock in her dying illness" and choked herself before she could even open her mouth, coughing heart-wrenchingly.
“Cough cough cough——”
Ming Wang, who had not slept to begin with, moved when he heard the sound, raised his eyelids, and turned his head slightly to look at the bed.
The big red curtain was half-covered, and a vague outline could be vaguely seen.
The coughing stopped and started again, and Ming Wang's perfectly shaped eyebrows slowly wrinkled. Could he have caught a cold? But in this weather, it seemed that catching a cold was not easy, right?
He looked for a long time until Lan Shuang turned over, then he closed his eyes.
Lan Shuang didn't know that Ming Wang was peeking at her. Her whole attention was now on the damn 888.
"Explain to me, how did this -10 come about? The original owner is dead, yet he can still resurrect and harbor resentment? Then why should I eliminate the resentment? I can just focus on salvation."
888's heart was pounding. "Host, calm down. Let me explain. This -10 is because I gave you a life-saving skill in a critical moment. You have to pay to use it."
Lan Shuang's face twisted, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "Are you talking about that 'great strength brings miracles'?"
888 pointed his finger and said, "Yes."
Lan Shuang: “…”
She was speechless. They were doing it for her own good, but these ten points still made her feel painful. After all, the resentment towards the female supporting role had not diminished until now.
Seeing her silence, 888 whispered, "Dear Master, do you still need the plaster? Even if you don't have any resentment points, you can buy it on credit and pay it back later."
Lan Shuang: "Stop, it doesn't hurt at all."
888: "...Okay."
Lan Shuang lay there silently, but her mind was constantly turning. The original owner had been replaced by her own daughter by her wet nurse since birth, so Lan Yuning took her identity and became the eldest daughter of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion for seventeen years.
It would have been fine if she had never known about it, but the truth was exposed because the Duke's wife fell ill. The original owner was full of expectations and thought that she would live a good life and be taken care of by her parents and elder brothers. But in the end, everyone thought she was vulgar. Lan Yuning shed two tears, and they felt sorry for her.
In contrast to Lan Yuning, Lan Shuang looked increasingly shabby. Lan Yuning didn't want to be kicked out of the house, so she deliberately designed several times to embarrass Lan Shuang in front of everyone, and then pretended to be a gentle sister to comfort her and win a good reputation.
The original owner was locked up in the backyard and knew nothing.
The more Lan Shuang thought about it, the more she felt something was amiss. She poked 888 and said, "Little 888, why do I feel like this story is full of loopholes?"
888 nodded. "Yeah, it's a melodramatic novel, and the author also messed up the ending, leaving a lot of holes unfilled, so there are a lot of logical gaps."
Lan Shuang: "? So it's a novel world? A rebirth novel?"
"Yes, the heroine is Lan Yuning. I've shown you her information before. This is the beginning of her second life. Originally, Lan Shuang had died tragically in the second life, so I teleported you back to the beginning."
888's little boy had a serious look on his face: "This is what it means to defy fate and change your destiny."
Lan Shuang: "I see."
She touched her smooth little chin with her fingers.
"Let me sort out the timeline. In the first life, Lan Shuang returned to the Duke's Mansion, but was still not welcomed. The previous plot was pretty much the same. Later, an imperial decree befell her and married her to Prince Ming as his principal wife. The family kept it a secret from her until the wedding day, when they finally forced her into the bridal sedan. After her marriage, Lan Shuang lived a quiet and obedient life, devoted to Prince Ming. Eventually, Prince Ming ascended the throne, and she became the empress. Is that right?"
"Yes."
"But because of her poor health, she died of illness not long after, and the Ming King never remarried. During this period, the Duke of Ying was caught by the Ming King for corruption and bribery, and for standing on the wrong side. Some were beheaded, some were exiled. Lan Yuning died on the way to exile."
Lan Shuang paused. "It was also around this time that she was reborn and came to her second life, which is this life. According to the original plot, she leaked the emperor's arranged marriage to Lan Shuang in advance, and then exaggerated how terrifying Prince Ming was, saying she would help her escape. Then, on the day of the wedding, Lan Shuang escaped with the so-called Liu Lang, and Lan Yuning married in her place, using her previous life's advantages to win Prince Ming's heart."
"Host, there's actually one thing you don't know." 888 said, looking at the information on the electronic screen, "Ming Wang has a hidden illness. He doesn't like women. Oh, he doesn't like men either. Marrying a wife is just for show."
"What?!" Lan Shuang suddenly perked up: "You mean, he hasn't had sex in his two lifetimes?"
888: "Oh, there's no need to be so blunt."
Lan Shuang: “…”
You're not shy at all, I'm not talking about you.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't see that. Looking at Ming Wang's appearance and nose, he doesn't look like a useless person."
Lan Shuang thought about turning around and lying on her side facing Ming Wang. Although she couldn't see anything, she inexplicably felt a trace of pity for Ming Wang. It was a pity for his face.
"It's really not possible. He was really injured and poisoned on the battlefield. Later, the poison in his leg was successfully forced out, and it didn't affect his walking, but the remaining poison affected him and he was disabled."
Lan Shuang looked at Ming Wang with an even weirder expression. "Hey, I was originally thinking that such a handsome man would be a delight to my eyes, but now we've become sisters in an instant?"
She sighed, shook her head, and turned back.
Ming Wang on the couch frowned and opened his eyes. What on earth was this woman doing? She turned over and sighed. Was it really so unpleasant to marry him?
Lan Shuang wanted to ask further,
But 888 predicted her train of thought and immediately cut off the connection, saying, "Entering nighttime rest mode. Good night, host."
"Hey—don't go, I haven't finished yet, Xiao Baba!"
After calling a few times without any response, Lan Shuang looked at the curtain above her head with boredom, and continued her previous thoughts. Lan Yuning married King Ming to help him seize power, but later she stood by and watched when Duke Ying got into trouble. Tsk, she really raised an ungrateful person.
At that time, Lan Shuang was framed by Lan Yuning to marry Prince Rong, the mortal enemy of Prince Ming. Prince Rong was just using her to get in touch with the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. After all, the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion only had this one daughter at that time.
Later, Prince Rong was defeated, and Lan Shuang was exiled. On the way, she was attacked by a group of people...
Lan Shuang frowned in disgust. All this was thanks to Lan Yuning. She herself had the misfortune to die miserably, and after being reborn, she actually blamed it all on Lan Shuang!
Neuropathy.
If you want to eliminate the original owner's resentment, you probably have to start with Lan Yuning.
Lan Shuang closed her eyes and began to formulate a series of revenge plans.
Let's start by revealing her true face.
