She was lazy and gluttonous from a young age, obese and lecherous. After meeting Qi Yu, she wanted to marry him. Xia Jingfeng also wanted to consolidate his power. So this happy marriage was made amidst the Empress Dowager's inability to resist, the young emperor's powerlessness to refuse, the officials' feigned compliance, and the people's cursing.
The reason why everyone objected was twofold: firstly, because of Xia Yixin's identity, and secondly, because of the original owner's age and appearance.
Since Qi Yu can be called the reincarnation of the Greedy Wolf Star, he must be an immortal. The original owner of this body was not only twenty years old, but also obese and lazy.
So, people who value appearance will always exist in any era.
According to the original story, the original owner was also disliked after marrying Qi Yu. She tirelessly tried to win his favor every day, but Qi Yu remained unmoved.
The two were in name only.
Three years later, Shen Shaoyang stole the Tiger Tally, gathered thirteen warlords, lured Xia Jingfeng's army out of the capital, and then killed Xia Jingfeng with a surprise attack. He then deposed the young emperor Qi Yu, who had only been on the throne for three years. Qi Yu committed suicide in the palace, and the Shen family took the opportunity to install a two-year-old new emperor and reopen the Yu Shang Dynasty.
This time, Xia Yixin was smarter. "With this poisoning plot, I don't only have three years to live, do I?"
"Of course not! This is a punishment dimension. The host has three main missions and multiple side missions. You must complete all of them before you can leave, or you will be immediately eliminated!" the system announced loudly.
Xia Yixin suddenly remembered something, "Wait, why didn't I hear the points settlement from the previous plane?"
"Because this is a punishment plane, the host cannot use points, and the host's attributes have also been returned to their initial state. Host, you must be strong!"
……grass!
Xia Yixin was even more curious about why she had come to this punishment dimension. Some images flashed through her mind, but they were too fast for her to grasp.
"Host, remember this well: three main storylines. Since this is a punishment plane, they will be announced one by one. The first main storyline is: 'I am my father's good daughter,' meaning you must prevent Xia Jingfeng's death! It has a three-year time limit. Completion will earn you 2000 points; failure will result in immediate elimination! Additionally, the system will automatically detect events that contribute to the completion of the main storyline and adjust your points accordingly, so good luck, host!"
As soon as the system finished speaking, the time freeze disappeared.
Xia Yixin knew the task was daunting, so she first checked her personal attributes.

Overall assessment: It has nothing but a brain.
After reviewing the attribute table, Xia Yixin sighed softly. Although the situation was rather bad, she could always start over. At least she still had the Healer Set and the Chef Set to use, which was a cause for celebration.
She tried the storage ring and found that she could still freely use the items inside, which reassured her somewhat. While examining it, she also discovered a peculiar ring.
The black jade ring lay quietly inside the storage ring, faintly radiating warmth, as if energy was flowing within it.
Did she have this before?
She held it in her hand, looking at it suspiciously. Images flashed through her mind, but they were too fast for her to grasp.
Just then, a commotion erupted, and her sedan chair was knocked to the ground with a loud crash.
Xia Yixin put away the black jade ring and subconsciously tried to use her lightness skill, but unfortunately she had no internal energy at all, so she rolled out of the bridal sedan like a ball.
Suddenly, the surrounding noise fell silent, as if someone had grabbed its throat.
The people stared in disbelief at the plump woman. Although she was dressed in an exquisite empress's gown, it could not conceal her enormous body. Her features were originally quite delicate, but they were squeezed out on her large face, especially with all the powder on it, making her look like a pig dressed in a red wedding gown.
This is simply unbelievably ugly to Han Chinese people who prefer slender waists and delicate eyebrows.
"A ghost! She's an evil ghost!" Someone in the crowd shouted first, and the people immediately retreated in fear. Some even grabbed vegetables and eggs and threw them at Xia Yixin.
The sedan bearers, guards, and maids around her dared not approach, watching helplessly as Xia Yixin was attacked by this "heavy rain."
Xia Yixin could only use her hands to protect her head as she got up. The phoenix crown on her head had fallen off, but she remained remarkably calm. This was the Empress's phoenix crown; how could any of these common people dare to attack it? Someone must have led the attack.
Sure enough, she glanced around and spotted a "special person." He had no expression and stood out from the onlookers. He was thin and had a red birthmark the size of a coin on his neck, but his aura suggested he was a ruthless killer.
Just then, a loud roar came from ahead.
