As for the original plot, at the very beginning, Zi Linglong discovered that her brother, the emperor, had feelings for her. She used this as an excuse to escape from the palace and moved into the residence of her Ninth Uncle, the Ninth Prince. Little did she know that she had just escaped one danger only to fall into another, and the two began to love and fight each other.
Fortunately, this Ninth Prince was not the late emperor's brother at all, and had no blood relation to her.
And Xia Yixin.
Although she was Chu Mubai's wife, she wasn't even a supporting female character; she was basically just a figure in flashbacks. Chu Mubai left the capital three months after their marriage to find a divine doctor to treat himself. He didn't return until three years later, by which time Xia Yixin had been rumored to have been seriously ill and had been dead for a long time, and he had the female lead, Zi Linglong, by his side.
Xia Yixin's role was merely to provoke Chu Mubai, for example, by saying, "Who knows if you have something going on with that woman?"
So Xia Yixin didn't even have a proper grave in the end. But in reality, according to the original owner's memories, she didn't have a serious illness at all. Instead, she was murdered in the second month after Chu Mubai left.
The person who murdered her was Xia Youyou, the daughter of Minister Xia and her cousin.
She entered the Grand Tutor's mansion under the pretense of accompanying her cousin, and then plotted to make people believe that she was having an affair with a servant. She was beaten half to death by the furious old lady and thrown out of the mansion, whereupon she lied and said that she had died of illness.
However, her "good" cousin didn't let her off the hook. After feigning to heal her, she disfigured her and threw her into a military camp to work as a prostitute. The original owner eventually committed suicide.
After watching the entire plot, a sudden surge of hatred from the depths of my soul welled up, mixed with the lingering resentment and anger within the original owner's body.
Xia Yixin clenched her hands tightly, her knuckles turning white.
The system urgently reminded, "Host, host, don't let the original owner's hatred affect your mood!"
"I'm fine." Xia Yixin took a deep breath to suppress the original owner's resentment. "So, is this mission still about maximizing the male supporting character's happiness?"
"Congratulations, host, on drawing a B-level mission. As punishment for your previous mission failure, this one has two main storylines and numerous side quests that will be randomly triggered later. Main quest one: Maximize the happiness level of the male supporting character, Chu Mubai, to 100, preventing him from becoming one of the original female lead Zi Linglong's harem. Main quest two: Find all those who murdered the original owner, Xia Yixin, and avenge her. Both missions must be completed to leave this plane. Each completed mission will reward you with 100 points. Currently, Chu Mubai's happiness level is 0 and his health is 35. If it drops below 30, the mission will be declared a failure! Good luck, host!"
"Happiness level of 0 is easy to explain, but what is that life value?" Xia Yixin was a little confused.
"This is a B-level mission. The male supporting character is physically weak, and the host must ensure his physical and mental health. Neither is dispensable~" The system paused, then said slyly, "Host, do you want to consider using your points in advance to buy a cheat code? Don't miss out!"
In the original novel, the male supporting character Chu Mubai was never cured until his death. His physical condition deteriorated, and he could only live for three more years at most.
She gradually sensed something was wrong. "System, why do I feel like you're trying to get me to overdraw my points?"
"Stimulate consumption! That way, the host will be more enthusiastic. So, have you thought it through? The male supporting character's life points have already dropped to 33!"
grass!
If the male supporting character can't be cured, his life points are constantly fluctuating like a rollercoaster, which is quite distressing. She frowned and said, "Let's open the points shop."
When Xia Yixin entered the main space, time outside was frozen. When she opened her eyes, a barely perceptible red light flashed in her eyes.
"Ding! Congratulations on binding the Orange-level Immortal Healer Set. You will receive 2 Marrow Cleansing Pills as a gift. Also, please note that your points have been reduced by 800. Please earn back 800 points or more before the end of this world, or you will be immediately eliminated!"
Xia Yixin was speechless. "You're going to pay back 400 worth of equipment double?"
The system was a little guilty. "That's the rule, but I'm giving away freebies with the purchase. The Immortal Healer Set is already incredibly powerful. Basically, there's no illness in this world that you can't cure. It's much more powerful than that Divine Doctor Valley from this era. I'm also giving away two Marrow Cleansing Pills, which originally cost 100 points. Most importantly, all of these come with you, so you're making a huge profit!"
She took a deep breath. Fine, 800 it is. Since she already has 200 points in both main quests, she still has a chance to complete all the side quests. As for how to explain the source of her medical skills, that's easy. In the original owner's memories, she had studied medicine with a wandering doctor in the desert for a few years and even saved a mad doctor. To repay the life-saving grace, the doctor gave Xia Yixin a medical book, but it was full of nonsense. The original owner couldn't understand it and casually threw it to Xiaoman to keep. Xiaoman brought it over and kept it on the bookshelf, which would be useful.
Having made up her mind, she first checked her current attributes.
