After reading the plot, Chen Tian knew that the plane he was in was indeed an ancient plane, and the overall direction of the story could probably be classified as a farming novel.
The heroine of "Little World," Li Xiaochan, was originally the daughter of an ordinary farmer in Lijia Village. She was intelligent, hardworking, and kind from a young age. As she grew older, she displayed a rare courage, surpassing that of men in her era. She modified farm tools, built fish ponds, and ventured into business.
During this time, the heroine encountered many setbacks and even persecution from evildoers. However, she was resilient and never discouraged by failure. Relying on her own intelligence and wisdom, she made her family's life prosperous.
Later, Li Xiaochan and her family left Lijia Village and moved to the city to develop their business, eventually expanding it to the capital. With the help of the government, they became an imperial merchant.
During this process, Li Xiaochan's uniqueness attracted the free-spirited young marquis Qi Teng, and the two fell in love. Originally, their family backgrounds were very different and their relationship was not favored by others, but Qi Teng did not care and fell in love with Li Xiaochan.
Later, by some strange coincidence, it was discovered that the heroine was actually the emperor's descendant among the common people. Afterwards, Li Xiaochan regained her status as a princess and married in grand style.
In the story, the heroine has achieved success in both love and career, and can be called a winner in life.
In the plot, the reason why the Li family was able to develop smoothly in the capital, and even became an imperial merchant from a wealthy businessman with no foundation, and even why Li Xiaochan was able to meet the young marquis Qi Teng, was all thanks to a key figure, the second prince Huo Tianchen.
In the earliest plot, when she was still in Lijia Village, the heroine once rescued a seriously injured person by the water.
However, the man lost his memory after waking up. Under Li Xiaochan's care, the man's health quickly recovered. Then one day, he suddenly left a note saying that he had something urgent to do.
Although the text was short, the person was quite influential because his true identity was the second prince Huo Tianchen.
Huo Tianchen is the God of War of Dongye, invincible on the battlefield. The old emperor is aging, and the eldest prince Huo Kangcheng, seeing Huo Tianchen's high reputation, regards him as a thorn in his side.
After much planning, he finally found an opportunity to send someone to assassinate Huo Tianchen.
The situation was sudden at that time. No matter how powerful Huo Tianchen was, he could not fight four hands with two fists, not to mention that the people sent by the eldest prince were all deadpools with high martial arts skills.
After all the Second Prince's guards were killed, Huo Tianchen was also seriously injured and fell into the water. He was unconscious and drifted to the shore, where he was rescued by the heroine.
At the beginning, Huo Tianchen really lost his memory. After he finally recovered his memory, he hurried away to contact his subordinates.
Later, although Huo Tianchen did not go back to thank the Li family in person because he had a lot of things to deal with, he still sent his subordinates to protect him carefully.
So even if it wasn't entirely due to Huo Tianchen that Li Xiaochan was able to have everything go her way and turn danger into safety, he was at least half responsible.
At the end of the story, Huo Tianchen also became the emperor of Dongye. Unlike the previous Dongye emperors who looked down on agriculture and commerce, he respected agriculture and commerce as much as he did, believing that they were the foundation of the country.
With his support, the Li family's business flourished and became the richest man in Dongye. Then, in return, they gave back to Dongye and helped Huo Tianchen create a new prosperous era.
Everything was originally beautiful, but unfortunately, after the small world was distorted, a reborn person named Li Zixiu appeared.
Li Zixiu was from Lijia Village. He was originally one of the only two scholars in the area of Lijia Village and was considered to have a high status in the village.
Unfortunately, he had a high opinion of himself. After several years of failing to make any progress in the examinations, he became cunning and attempted to cheat during the provincial examination. The examiner caught him and not only did he lose his title of scholar, but he was also disqualified from taking future examinations.
Li Zixiu was beaten with a stick in front of everyone, his career path was cut short, and he became the laughing stock of Lijia Village.
However, he did not think he was wrong, but just had bad luck, and was filled with resentment. He still regarded himself as a scholar and was unwilling to do the hard labor that only peasants could do.
At first, he just stayed indoors, living a decadent life. Later, for some reason, he started drinking and gambling, lost all his money, and was eventually beaten to death by people in the gambling house.
Originally, Li Zixiu was just a small person who lived in the same village as the heroine Li Xiaochan.
He was arrogant at first and looked down on peasant women like Li Xiaochan. But after being reborn, he lived many more years in his previous life and learned a lot more.
Although the fact that Li Xiaochan was of royal blood only came into being after Li Zixiu's death, he remembered that the Li family's business grew bigger and bigger, and they even went to the capital and became royal merchants. That was a wealth that he could not even imagine.
After living his life over again, Li Zixiu probably realized that even if he took the exam again, he would not be able to make further progress. It would be better for him to marry Li Xiaochan so that he could enjoy a happy life for the rest of his life.
So he took the initiative to show his goodwill to Li Xiaochan.
He was a rare scholar in the village. Although Li Xiaochan did not like Li Zixiu, he repeatedly showed his affection to her. Li Xiaochan, who was at the age of falling in love, finally fell in love and married Li Zixiu.
Li Zixiu successfully married Li Xiaochan, and later followed the Li family to the capital. When Li Xiaochan regained her status as an imperial princess, he became her consort, enjoying a life of luxury and wealth.
However, even so, Li Zixiu was still not satisfied.
He coveted the Li family's property, and seeing that Li Xiaochan was not of the Li family's blood at all, he wanted to take the Li family's property for himself.
However, Li Xiaochan was a grateful person and always protected the Li family and would not allow Li Zixiu to move.
The heroine has her own ideas and will not be influenced by Li Zixiu, but this makes Li Zixiu more unwilling and resentful of Li Xiaochan.
Therefore, Li Zixiu, who had ulterior motives, was easily shown goodwill by the eldest prince Huo Kangcheng and agreed to collude with him.
They took advantage of Huo Tianchen's trust in Li Xiaochan and secretly cut off the Li family's food and grass supplies to the battlefield while the Second Prince was away suppressing disasters. They also forged evidence to frame the Second Prince for rebellion.
In the end, the second prince was framed and executed, the eldest prince Huo Kangcheng ascended the throne and became emperor, and Li Xiaochan could only be confined to the backyard.
Li Zixiu was given an official title and a noble rank for his merits, and he suppressed and killed all those who opposed him. He also caused the Li family to be destroyed, swallowed up all the Li family's property, and lived a life of three wives and four concubines.
But Li Zixiu didn't know that he was just a target pushed out by the eldest prince.
Li Zixiu's good days did not last long. As soon as the court was stabilized, he was killed by the new emperor to prove his virtue.
As for all the Li family's assets, they eventually fell into Huo Kangcheng's hands.
And Chen Tian’s identity this time is the second prince Huo Tianchen.
The original owner could have ascended the throne and become the emperor, bringing prosperity to the people, but he was killed early and was labeled a rebel.
Therefore, the original owner's wish to exchange his identity was to become the emperor of Dongye, protect the people, and trample the eldest prince and Li Zixiu who killed him under his feet.
Chen Tian never thought that he would be an important character in his life. In comparison, his lover Xiaobai was more of a cannon fodder and hardly showed up in the main text.
If we must delve deeper, it can only be attributed to the sentence where the reborn man, after gaining power, suppresses and harms all those who oppose him.
According to the early plot, Li Zixiu was one of the only two scholars in Lijia Village, and the other scholar was Bai Su.
Because it has little to do with the main plot, it is only said that the Bai family is an outsider. Originally, the Bai family was doing well at the beginning, but later, Bai's father fell seriously ill. Medical treatment and medicine almost used up all the Bai family's savings. Bai's father still could not support it for a few years and passed away.
Because of this, the Bai family was destitute. Bai's mother worked hard to make ends meet by doing embroidery and selling patterns, but she damaged her eyesight.
Fortunately, Bai Su was a hardworking man who wasn't afraid of hard work. Even at a young age, he found ways to do odd jobs to supplement his family's income. Once he had saved some money, he continued his studies, and gradually, he began to show his extraordinary talent.
On the contrary, Bai Su's later fate was due to his talent.
In the entire Lijia Village, only he and Li Zixiu were scholars. At the beginning, Bai Su was not too outstanding because of his family affairs. The two of them were just students in the village.
Later, Bai Su passed the imperial examination and became a scholar first, which made Li Zixiu jealous, thinking that Bai Su had stolen his limelight.
After this, Li Zixiu passed the examination for the title of Scholar two years later, but his talent was exhausted. However, Bai Su began to show his brilliance and won the first place in the provincial examination.
In the original plot line, Bai Su passed all the tests and was personally selected as the new top scholar by Huo Tianchen, who had become the new emperor, after the palace examination.
He was appreciated by the elders and rose through the ranks, eventually becoming prime minister and assisting the emperor. Together with Huo Tianchen, they became famous rulers and ministers who went down in history.
But Li Zixiu was reborn. Not only did he make things difficult for Bai Su, he also secretly hired gangsters to break Bai Su's legs before the provincial examination, causing him to miss the exam.
Bai Su is a tenacious man. He refuses to give up. After recovering from his injuries, he takes the exam again, but is seen by Li Zixiu who has gone to the capital with the heroine.
Thinking of Bai Su's glory before his death in his previous life, Li Zixiu became jealous.
He was worried that if he were to live again, he would be outdone by Bai Su again. Now with the wealth of the Li family, he was no longer the same as before. He decided to go all out and spent a lot of money to hire someone to kill Bai Su.
It's a pity that a pair of wise kings and loyal ministers were killed by a reborn little man.
Seeing this, Chen Tian's eyes turned completely cold. He would not let anyone who dared to hurt his loved one have an easy time.
However, in this life, I actually share the same suffering as my lover. I wonder if this can be considered a special kind of fate!
Calculating the current timeline, Li Zixiu should have just been reborn and hadn't done anything yet. Bai Su was still the only scholar in Lijia Village, while Li Zixiu was still just a student.
However, his identity as a scholar also provided Li Zixiu with a lot of conveniences, and the villagers always respected him more.
Chen Tian now travels back in time to replace the original owner, and some plot changes accordingly. He was originally going to be saved by the heroine, but for some reason, he was saved by Bai Su instead.
Although he didn't know why this happened, Chen Tian was obviously more satisfied with the result. He automatically ignored the suffering he had endured since crossing into this world.
What could be more joyful than this heaven-sent fate!
Sure enough, he and Xiaobai are a perfect match!
Considering his sensitive current condition, although the original owner was seriously injured and accidentally fell into the water, he was lucky to be able to float downstream and be washed here by the river.
However, the eldest prince's men will never give up easily and should still be looking for their whereabouts in this area, so it is best not to act rashly for the time being.
Fortunately, the border has been peaceful recently, and the original owner was lured here because he was deceived by the eldest prince's spy who had been lurking around him. There was nothing really urgent that needed to be dealt with immediately.
We can put the matter of contacting the people below on hold for now. It would be better to stay in Lijia Village to recuperate for the time being.
What's more, this way I can spend every day with Xiaobai!
Thinking of this, Chen Tian quickly asked 009 to repair some of the more serious internal injuries, but he did not let him take care of the minor injuries and the hideous-looking wounds on the outside.
Are you kidding? If my wounds have healed, why would I let Xiaobai take care of me personally?
Although Chen Tian seemed to be thinking a lot, in fact, it only took a moment.
After deciding on his plan, Chen Tian began to calm down and listen carefully to the sounds outside.
The original owner was already a martial arts master, and his hearing was naturally extraordinary. Now that Chen Tian has taken over, his five senses have become even more acute.
So he easily heard the conversation outside the yard. It turned out that someone came to propose marriage to Bai Su.
Outside the house, the matchmaker had been standing at the door without entering. Bai Su was talking to him with a smile on his face, but he just stopped him at the door, as if he had no intention of letting him in.
The matchmaker had no choice but to stand there and continue lobbying with Bai Su with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Bai, the Liu family in the next village is a rare wealthy family in the surrounding villages. His daughter is virtuous, hardworking, and pretty. I think she's a perfect match for you."
When Bai Su heard these words, his expression did not change at all. He had long been accustomed to it.
In the early years, after his father's illness had wiped out the family's wealth, many people mocked their family as being down and out. Their daughters would be dragged away if they even spoke to them, as if they were afraid of being enslaved by the family. However, Bai Su didn't take such things to heart at all.
But now that he had passed the imperial examination, matchmakers were constantly coming to him to try to match him up. It was ridiculous that those who had previously avoided him were now setting their sights on him.
He had also heard of Liu Erjia's only daughter, Bai Su, but he didn't know she was virtuous and hardworking. However, he had heard that she was unreasonable and aggressive.
It is also said that the other party is not good-looking, but because her family has relatively rich assets here, she is very arrogant and looks down on ordinary men.
Thinking of this, Bai Su's lips curled slightly, and he smiled at the matchmaker, "Aunt, I have seen the Miss Liu you mentioned, but she seems a little different from the one you described."
When the matchmaker heard this, his face changed.
She knew what the girl she was talking to looked like, and she had thought that Liujia Village was not close to Lijia Village, so the two of them must have never met. But she didn't expect that Bai Xiucai had already met her before.
Then all the lies she had just said about being diligent, virtuous, and pretty were exposed in an instant!
However, if you want to be a matchmaker, you naturally can't be shameless. Matchmaker Wang changed her mind and immediately continued with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Bai, no matter what kind of person he is, we still have to get along with him!
The daughter of Liu Er's family is actually quite good, but I need to get to know her better. Besides, Liu Er's family has a lot of land. If you marry his daughter, Mr. Bai, her family will surely provide a lot of support. This..."
But this time, Bai Su didn't wait for Matchmaker Wang to finish her words before interrupting, "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. I don't think I'm so poor that I have to rely on marrying a wife and then relying on her family for support to make ends meet."
Seeing that the smile had disappeared from Bai Su's face, Matchmaker Wang knew that she had accidentally said something out of turn. After all, the other party was a scholar, which made her feel a little worried.
However, many girls in the surrounding villages had a crush on this handsome scholar, and many of them approached her for matchmaking, offering her a lot of money.
She came many times, but nothing worked out. She was unwilling to give up, but she couldn't help but persuade him: "Mr. Bai, you study hard every day, wouldn't it be better for you to get married soon?
When you get married, you will love each other and have someone who understands you, then you can live a comfortable life!
"Mr. Bai, what kind of girl do you like? I'll find her for you right away!"
Hearing this, Bai Su didn't know why, but the image of the rescued beauty in the room flashed through his mind.
What about the love between husband and wife, what about understanding each other's feelings? If it were that person, it wouldn't be impossible...
For some reason, he felt a little impatient. Seeing that the matchmaker was about to continue, Bai Su raised an eyebrow and said bluntly, "Auntie, to be honest, I am just a superficial person. I don't expect my wife to be caring. I just hope that the other party is as beautiful as a flower, unforgettable at first sight, and pleasing to the eye."
Unfortunately, beautiful women are often found in books, but not in reality. If I don’t find such a beauty, I will definitely not marry.”
“This, this…”
These words made Wang the matchmaker choke. Who would say so bluntly that when marrying a wife, they don't seek her virtue, but only her beauty.
She had once tried to mediate on behalf of the most beautiful girl in Lijia Village, but Mr. Bai did not agree, probably because he did not like her.
According to what Mr. Bai said, even the emperor might not have seen such a top-notch beauty, so where could she find one?
But seeing the other party's serious expression, it didn't seem like he was joking at all, which really made Matchmaker Wang at a loss as to how to continue.
Chen Tian, who was in the room, naturally heard the conversation between the two people outside. When he heard that Bai Su liked beautiful women, he quickly said to the system in his sea of consciousness, "009, quickly get me a projection of yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, his own image appeared in the air in front of Chen Tian.
He turned his head and looked at himself carefully.
The person in the picture was lying on the bed with his hair loose. Perhaps due to his injury, he looked a little haggard, but it still couldn't hide his stunning appearance.
A pair of sword-like eyebrows slanted into the temples, the narrow and long eyes were full of light as if full of affection, the nose bridge was high, the thin lips were slightly pursed, and the bright facial features were unforgettable at first sight.
It is said that it is difficult to tell whether it is male or female, but in fact, this perfect face does not look feminine, but has a beauty that transcends gender.
Perhaps due to his long years leading troops outside, exposed to the wind and sun, his skin wasn't particularly fair. When his face turned cold, he revealed the stern, murderous aura of a veteran, a look that kept strangers away.
However, Chen Tian was very satisfied with this face. He believed that Bai Su would like this good-looking face.
But then I thought again, I just heard them talking about getting married and getting a wife.
Could it be that Xiaobai likes women in this life and wants to find a girl to marry?
He subconsciously lifted the quilt and took a look at himself. His former arrogance suddenly made Chen Tian feel a sense of crisis.
When he was born, Chen Tian was just a ball of energy, originally genderless, and it was only by chance that he transformed into a male. He loved Bai Su deeply, and in fact, as long as his lover wanted him to lie down, he would be willing to do so immediately.
But if Xiaobai likes a woman now...is it too late for him to go back to school and change his personality?
The author has something to say:
Chen Tian: My baby likes women now, what should I do? Should I undergo sex reassignment surgery? (Beauty sighs)
Bai Su: I’m not! I didn’t! Don’t talk nonsense!
(Taking advantage of the weekend, I finished writing and posted it early today, hehe~)
