[Ding, Sikong Qing has been successfully captured.]

[Ding, warning: Low energy. We are about to be forcibly teleported to a new dimension. Please prepare.]
The system's playful voice has been transformed into a cold, electromagnetic tone.
With almost no buffer time, Yun Lian was transported to the next world.
Before she even opened her eyes, Yun Lian instinctively grabbed that soft, cold hand before the palm wind even touched her cheek, and then, with almost all her might, threw her to the ground.
"Ah! You slut, how dare you resist! Guards, beat her to death!"
Yun Lian opened her eyes and saw a young lady in ancient costume, dressed in shimmering jewels, looking as rich and noble as a flower in the human world.
Of course, she would still be beautiful if her expression weren't so ferocious.
Yun Lian snapped her fingers, and the surroundings froze instantly. The young lady's expression remained that of someone in a frenzy, and the servant's wooden stick was about to strike Yun Lian.
Yun Lian pointed the stick in the servant's hand at the young lady, and the maid who was about to grab her also turned to the young lady, taking away the young lady's valuables and leaving her with only a few pieces of jewelry.
Yun Lian moved a stool and sat down, calmly receiving the memories.
This is an ancient world. The original owner was a princess who had been lost among the common people. She was unexpectedly adopted by the prime minister. However, as she grew older, the princess's beauty became apparent. The prime minister's daughter was jealous of the crown prince's affection for the original owner and wanted to destroy her.
No matter how hard the original owner tried to prove herself, she could not get Qianjin's forgiveness. The sisters who used to maintain a superficial relationship gradually drifted apart until they became enemies.
When the Crown Prince learned that the original owner of the body was living a life worse than a maid in the Prime Minister's household, he was willing to relinquish his position as Crown Prince in order to marry the Prime Minister's daughter.
The chief minister couldn't bear to see his own daughter marry the crown prince, and he was also worried about the original owner's low status, so he had no choice but to change her from an adopted illegitimate daughter to a legitimate daughter.
The Grand Secretary's daughter, Yunna, harbored even greater resentment towards the original owner of the body. After the original owner became engaged to the Crown Prince, she conspired with the new Crown Prince to have the original owner killed.
The original owner was filled with boundless hatred, only learning the whole truth after death.
She knew she was the Crown Prince's sister, and that Yunna had been jealous of her status from the very beginning.
Yunna even plotted to kill her, causing the emperor to become estranged from the other princes. When the emperor was extremely disappointed, she impersonated the original owner of the body and became a princess of great honor.
With the support of the Grand Secretary's entire clan and the emperor and empress dowager above him, he lived a life of being pampered and favored.
In this life, the target of her pursuit is Yun Lian herself.
She hoped to live a different life, to reclaim everything that belonged to her, and to make the Prime Minister's family and Yunna pay a heavy price.
Yun Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, she wasn't tasked with seducing anyone in this cutthroat society.
Ancient times were already harsh on women. If they were to simultaneously pursue several men, there was a concern that, like in the previous world, they would not only fail to earn any points but also waste a whole world's worth of work.
The only saving grace is that the ability to freeze time is pretty cool.
Yun Lian snapped her fingers again.
The stick struck the young lady's head, and the maidservant grabbed her tightly. As she cried out in pain, all the maids and servants in the entire courtyard knelt down on the ground.
"You've gone too far! I'll sell you all!"
The maids and servants who had attacked her trembled like leaves, their faces streaked with tears as they begged for mercy: "Miss, spare us! We were originally dealing with the Second Miss, we don't know how it turned out like this."
"Please forgive me, Miss! Even if you gave me a thousand lives, I wouldn't dare treat you like this!"
The stick came crashing down, and the jewelry poked her scalp painfully.
Enraged, Yunna ripped off the jewelry that was pressing on her and used the sharp end to slash the servant's face, completely ignoring his terrified cries.
"You dare to hit me! You even dare to bully me! Guards, drag him out and beat him to death with sticks!"
The servant didn't even have a chance to cry out before the other servants covered his mouth and dragged him out.
He probably never imagined that he, who had always been treated as a personal henchman, would one day be reduced to being beaten by others.
Yunna belatedly realized the discomfort in her arm, and her piercing gaze swept over the maid.
"Sell them to the brothel! I'll show you dogs who don't serve their master what happens when you offend me!"
"yes!"
The two maids wept uncontrollably, but no matter how much they struggled, they couldn't escape; instead, bright red handprints were left on their fair faces.
Yun Lian felt no pity for the three of them.
These three, relying on Yun Na's favor, had humiliated the original owner quite a bit. The injuries on the original owner's body were the results they used to curry favor with Yun Na.
Yun Lian clapped her hands, the sudden sound extremely loud in the quiet courtyard.
Yun Na's venomous gaze swept over Yun Lian without any attempt to conceal it.
"You vixen, what do you want now? Do you want me to beat you to death?"
Yun Lian was not intimidated at all.
"Sister, you still care about my face, but there's nothing I can do. All the men you've set your sights on like my face."
"Ah!!! Yun Lian, I'm going to kill you!"
Yun Na rushed towards Yun Lian, but she was easily immobilized by Yun Lian's hand.
Yunna felt as if the hand pressing on her head weighed a ton.
A terrifying thought even surfaced in my mind.
If she wanted to, she could probably kill her with brute force.
Could it be that she has awakened as well?
Then she absolutely cannot stay!
Yun Na looked up at Yun Lian with a mixture of fear and apprehension, her eyes filled with apprehension.
"Yun Lian, what do you mean? How dare you, a mere illegitimate daughter, talk back to your elder sister?"
Yun Lian loosened her grip on her head and slowly moved her hand from her head to her neck.
"What are you saying, sister? How could I dare to talk back to you? I'm just a little angry."
Yun Lian helped her tidy up her somewhat disheveled clothes; from a distance, they looked like a pair of close sisters.
"Sister, why don't you believe me when I say I don't like Ma Youcai? Not only do you not believe me, but you even had someone beat me up. I'm so heartbroken."
Yunna gradually regained her senses.
Where is even a trace of the crazy person he was just now?
A shrewd glint flashed in her eyes as she stared intently at Yun Lian.
"Is what my sister said true? Is it really because I misunderstood you that I'm doing this?"
"Yes! As long as my sister apologizes to me, no one will know what happened today."
Yunna has been looking at too many sketchbooks.
Looking at Yun Lian, who was so different from usual, her thoughts were in turmoil, like a tangled mess in her mind, which she couldn't unravel no matter what she did.
"I'm sorry, little sister. It's all my fault today. Sisters shouldn't hold grudges overnight. I'll apologize to you another day."
She must find the token or kill Yun Lian.
After Yunna finished speaking, she led her entourage away in a grand procession, and once they left, the entire courtyard became empty.
It is almost unimaginable that the daughter of the Grand Secretary would not even have a single maid or servant to serve her.
Yun Lian remained seated in her previous spot without saying a word.
Yunna's behavior just now was too abnormal. Given her vengeful nature, it's impossible that she would have someone beat her up and then let it go so easily.
