Chapter 1 My Wife 01 The Young Master is Like a God
"0359, what's the plot of this world?" Lu Huai asked 0359.
The time when he arrived at the small world was three quarters past midnight. It was clearly a time when everything was silent, but the original owner was still holding the book in his hand.
Lu Huaishijuan stood up and looked inside the house.
Under the dim light, I saw a hundred-foot-long collection of books, and unconventional antiques and jades were arranged in an orderly manner, creating a sense of elegance.
At first glance, Lu Huai's impression is that this second male lead in the classical world possesses at least one of wealth and power, may have a good family background, and is also a cultured person who likes to read poetry and books.
The system swiped the electronic screen and reported the received information:
"The protagonist, Chen Chensheng, is a young lady from the Duke's mansion who is forced to dress as a woman due to the filth in the imperial harem.
Because her father was too foolish to care about the affairs of the backyard, the new mistress, who was promoted by her concubine, took away her marriage with the powerful General Pei and gave it to her own daughter Shen Meng.
Instead, she hurriedly married him off to Lu Huai, a male concubine who had just passed the imperial examination and came to propose marriage, but whose background was only the son of a seventh-rank county magistrate.
He was in a hurry, as if he was about to throw a burden out the door.
Lu Huai was a gentle man. As he had long been in love with the beautiful woman, he was not dissatisfied with this hasty marriage. Instead, he was full of hope and was full of tenderness and concern for his wife who had not yet married him.
After all, no one knew that at the Qionghua Banquet, he had already given his heart to the peerless Miss Shen.
After much tossing and turning, she submitted a visiting card to the Duke's Mansion. She had no hope, but unexpectedly, this marriage came to fruition.
But Chen Chensheng is obsessed with revenge for his deceased mother and is determined to take back the Duke's Mansion's property as the heir.
She had no time to care about these romantic affairs. Instead, because of her nominal marriage, her original admiration for the male supporting role's talent disappeared completely, leaving only pure exploitation.
With such an imbalance in emotional investment, their married life can be described as cold as ice.
No matter how hard Lu Huai tried to get close to this cold rose, he could not knock open the iron-closed heart of Shen Chensheng.
In order to completely cut off Lu Huai's thoughts, Chen Chensheng even admitted that he was a man when Lu Huai questioned him with red eyes, intending to make him back down, but he never thought that Lu Huai did not back down.
On the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, Lu Huai wanted to improve the relationship between the couple and took Chen Chensheng out for a trip.
Unexpectedly, they were dispersed by the crowd. While he was anxiously searching, Shen Chensheng met the protagonist of the incognito visit, Chu Yuanting, and fell in love with him at first sight.
After Chu Yuanting returned home, he thought about her day and night. As a diligent and enlightened monarch, he kept himself clean and believed that he would not linger on beauty, but he could not forget this woman.
After hearing this, Lu Huai could roughly guess what would happen next. It was nothing more than that at the state banquet, Chu Yuanting recognized Chen Chensheng as a family member. Chu Yuanting was attracted by his looks, and Chen Chensheng wanted to borrow his power. The two of them got entangled in a fierce fight, and then started their daily routine of beating up the Duke's Mansion.
Even though Chen Chensheng exposed his male identity, they still developed true love in the end. After kicking away Lu Huai who ruined the atmosphere, the two of them became the king and his subject, and wrote a beautiful story of creating a prosperous era together.
Poor Lu Huai worked diligently in the previous dynasty, maneuvering between various forces, serving as the sharpest sword of the emperor, just for peace and prosperity. However, he never expected that when he achieved success, he would lose his beloved.
Chen Chensheng and Chu Yuanting jointly planned a fire in the mansion, making the identity of "Mrs. Lu" disappear forever.
Lu Huai hated that he had worked so hard in the past but ended up betraying his wife. Now there was no chance to make amends. He was so desperate that he almost committed suicide until his elderly father stopped him with a grief-stricken look on his face.
It's not that Chen Chensheng doesn't know Lu Huai's feelings, but he only feels a little grateful to Lu Huai as a tool, and will not waver in his plans because of him.
He was in a daze until the day when the emperor was delighted with the beauty and held a banquet to entertain all the ministers. He then saw that familiar face and suddenly realized what was going on.
How tragic! Even though he knew his beloved wife was not dead, Lu Huai, who had been well-read since childhood, could only suppress his inner sorrow and hatred between loyalty to the emperor and his private feelings, and be a loyal minister with self-discipline and courtesy.
Even when Chen Chensheng returned to the court later, Lu Huai could only pretend not to know her in front of Chu Yuanting, who was sensitive and suspicious because of their old friendship, but he was heartbroken every day when he returned home.
Lu Huai even felt a little pity for his original self. He was just a hardworking worker who wanted to live a good life.
However, while working tirelessly for his boss, he finally accepted that his wife was a man. After doing a good job of ideological work, his boss took his wife away again. He then said, "Your wife, I will support her," which was a big surprise.
However, his eyes darkened. It seemed that this Madam Shen Chensheng was not someone who was easy to get along with.
Although the male supporting role Lu Huai can be said to be "licking" Shen Chensheng enthusiastically in the plot, he did play a crucial role in the process of Shen Chensheng's pursuit of everything, and even after the success, he had no intention of revenge.
The couple Chen Chensheng and Chu Yuanting should have some skills in pua.
Lu Huai and Tongzi sat there until daytime after sorting out the plot line.
He learned that he was going to attend the Qionghua Banquet today, and rubbed his brows, which were a little sore from staying up late.
This arrangement that coincides with the plot point is really exciting.
"Dear host, thank you for your hard work!" Because it was a new system, 0359 had not yet camouflaged himself. It was just a projection of a cartoon sphere in his mind. The cheerful young voice, which was exchanged for a few points, was full of heartache for Lu Huai.
But it can't help much, because the system of the role-playing host is not as sophisticated and powerful as other departments. It basically relies entirely on the host's superb acting skills and can only play a weak auxiliary role.
So 0359 quickly slid to his knees, having always played the role of a gentle and sweet-talking flower, asking about Lu Huai's well-being. He had high hopes for the first world of the boss's transfer to the department, and was eager to usher in a good start.
0359 let out a sigh. After all, such a dedicated tasker deserves better results QWQ. His acting skills are among the best in the entire reincarnation world, but he is always "played" by his pig teammate, the world consciousness.
In the Dianjia novel, the male protagonist, who has become the leader of the martial arts world after the second male lead escapes death, should have shared the joy of freedom with his confidantes.
Unexpectedly, the hero dismissed the beauties and frantically searched for Lu Huai, who had taken the devil's killing move for him, at the bottom of the cliff. He hugged his body and cried inconsolably.
He lived his entire life like a lonely snowy mountain, all alone. Apart from dealing with the affairs of the martial arts world, he was also looking for a method of resurrection for Lu Huai, which was unlikely to be feasible.
In the Green River novel, the gentle childhood sweetheart male second male lead, after understanding the heroine's feelings, sadly withdrew and went abroad alone. He was depressed all day long and was suffering from a terminal illness. Just when Lu Huai was about to leave the world, the heroine chased him from China.
A tough little white flower's face was filled with tears. She hugged him tightly and said, "Don't leave me. I know my feelings and I only love you."
But no one could have foreseen that in an unknown corner, the hero had developed unusual feelings for him, and had many conflicts with the heroine, and finally discovered who he truly loved.
But at this time, Lu Huai's body collapsed, and he knew that he could not stimulate him anymore, so he could only let the heroine chase him out and confess her feelings to Lu Huai to make him feel better.
But he can only keep his feelings in his heart forever, why...
As expected, accidents happened in the above two worlds. The main storyline was not completed, and the points gained for perfect character setting were also deducted.
His thoughts drifted a little far away. 0359 looked at the time and saw that the host was still looking at the appearance of his original body in the bronze mirror. He almost let out a sharp explosion.
"Huaihuai, it's time to go to the Qionghua Banquet!"
"Leave immediately."
Lu Huai responded absentmindedly.
I thought that the faces in this world had changed to look more like me than before, about 70% to 80%. Was it the influence of the small world?
Although the appearance of the original owner of the second male lead role in each world will gradually become like him after he plays it, it is rare to see someone who looks like him from the beginning.
The piled stones are like jade, the rows of pines are like emerald green, and the person in the mirror lives up to the description in the book that "his appearance makes people think of the word gentleman at first sight."
Although he is the second male lead and should have good looks, it seems that things are a bit out of the ordinary after he joined.
She is even more beautiful and elegant than the fairies who were famous in the martial arts world before.
Thinking of the "bright achievements" of the small world before, Lu Huai sighed softly. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether this is a blessing or a curse...
As soon as he entered the Princess's Mansion, Lu Huai got into the state with great professionalism.
Considering that the second male lead in the book is a modest gentleman, Lu Huai puts away his unruly side and only reveals his gentle and elegant side, with a reserved and polite smile appearing on his jade-like face.
The leading attendant was so amazed by this godlike young man that he stood there in a daze for a while and almost led them astray.
On the way back to the original route, the attendant was afraid of being punished for neglecting the distinguished guest, so he hurriedly apologized to Lu Huai. Lu Huai smiled good-naturedly and let the matter go.
He was brought to Songfeng Pavilion where the male guests gathered, and several familiar candidates who had taken the imperial examination with him came to greet him warmly.
Lu Huai had great ambitions in his mind, was modest and polite, and knew when to advance and retreat. Even though he was the top scholar in the imperial examination, he did not become arrogant. This made the scholars who valued literature and calligraphy feel relaxed when they talked to him.
On the other hand, the women also have their own little world.
"This new number one scholar is handsome, knowledgeable, and kind to others. He is quite good."
"Although my family background is weaker than that of General Pei, I think a warrior like the general is a bit rough and careless. A refined man like the champion seems more caring."
"The number one scholar is incredibly talented and brilliant, even his looks are so dazzling. If I were his wife, wouldn't I be outshined by him? I'm afraid I'd feel ashamed if we were together every day.
General Pei is a young talent with numerous military achievements. He also has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and is as valiant as the wind. Marrying a man like him is more than I wish."
Seeing that the banquet hadn't begun yet, the young ladies quietly watched from the Yibi Garden, just across the wall. Because this banquet was somewhat of a social gathering, the more daring ones had already commented on the male guests with their sisters.
Lu Huai's arrival obviously brightened everyone's eyes. Even the young ladies who were shy and silent at first because they thought they had strict family education joined in the discussion about him.
The eldest princess's daughter, Princess Ningguang, was looking at Chenchen Sheng, who was sitting quietly in the corner but still shining like a pearl in the night.
"I know that your aunt changed General Pei's marriage to Chen Meng. Ah Sheng, do you feel resentful?"
"No." The princess's concern was evident in her words, but it was indeed difficult to bring this matter up and say it out loud, so Chen Chensheng could only respond indifferently.
For him, who was not originally a woman, this identity became a shackle he had to bear under the constraints of the times.
So, how could I be sad about marrying a man?
However, since the concubine has become the mistress as she wished, why is she still so greedy? This time, she forced the replacement just when the envoy from the Pei Mansion came to fulfill the agreement. It was really a bit ugly.
It was like a slap in the face, humiliating and condescending.
The resentment and pain accumulated since childhood made him clench his palms, and his nails dug deep into the flesh.
But his close friend Liu Xi's concern for him came from the heart, so Shen Chensheng let go of his hurt and softened his expression slightly to comfort him.
"Since we are not destined to be together, why force it? Besides, there is no romantic relationship between me and that Young General Pei."
"A Sheng is so beautiful, there are many beautiful women in the world. Today I want to find a lover for you so that your father and concubine can't harm you." Liu Xi said indignantly.
As the golden sun set in the west, the banquet was about to begin. The attendants and maids led the male and female guests to their seats on either side.
Among the men's guests, the most fascinating ones, as can be seen from the girls' blushing cheeks and affectionate eyes, are Lu Huai, Pei Yu, and the equally handsome third place winner Cheng Ruochen.
Opposite was a cluster of flowers, and the young ladies were in their prime, each of them charming and beautiful in her own way. At this moment, their faces were flushed and they were shy and angry.
The gentlemen who prided themselves on being polite didn't know where to put their eyes. They just felt drunk and trapped in the peach blossom forest, with their faces flushed.
Seeing the harmonious atmosphere in the venue, the graceful eldest princess announced the start of the banquet with a smile and signaled the servants in the mansion to serve the dishes.
At this moment, Lu Huai wanted to savor the food quietly but failed.
The third place winner with sparkling peach blossom eyes sat down beside him on the pretext of being a fellow examinee, and started a conversation as if he was extremely interested in him.
"Brother Lu is so handsome and elegant, many women at the banquet can't take their eyes off you. I really envy you. I wonder if Brother Lu has any guests who are interested?"
"Brother Cheng, your compliments are too much. I am a little unskilled and my character needs improvement. How dare I deserve the favor of the young ladies? Naturally, I dare not say whether I like them or not."
"Isn't Brother Lu interested in Miss Shen either?"
Cheng Ruochen said jokingly, looking at Lu Huai with a pair of eyes that were even more charming than those of a woman. He put his hand on Lu Huai's shoulder very naturally and whispered:
"You looked at her three times just now."
Lu Huai's body was a little tense. He was not used to others being so close to him, especially in such an intimate manner. Moreover, he did not think he was familiar with this third place winner. At this moment, he tilted his head slightly, just wanting to keep the distance as soon as possible.
Cheng Ruochen seemed dissatisfied with his evasion, and a look of loss appeared on his handsome face.
"Brother Lu, don't misunderstand me. I won't compete with you for the favor of a beauty."
After all, he didn't see the top scorer's face clearly during the palace examination, but now he can see it clearly.
Compared to Chen Chensheng, he was more interested in this gentleman as bright as the moon from the first time he saw him. He wanted to make him cry, show different expressions for him, and dye his cleanliness with ink.
This Tanhualang is also an exceptionally romantic character in the book, who can walk through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on him.
However, Lu Huai had a hunch that his inexplicable interest in him was a nuisance.
For example, at this moment, the closeness between the two of them has exceeded what Lu Huai can accept.
Moreover, the book does not mention that Cheng Ruochen and Lu Huai had such an intersection.
0359 warned Lu Huai with some caution, "He won't be interested in you, just like the male protagonists in the previous worlds."
Even though Lu Huai has come to the world of pure love, he still considers himself a straight man. He said confidently, "No! Impossible! If I'm interested, I'm only interested in the protagonist."
The author has something to say:
----------------------
A fox-like Tanhua Lang: I'm interested in you, Lu Lang~
In the next chapter, the protagonist, General Chu, will appear. Warm reminder: the title of protagonist is only for the original plot line.
Tanhua has a little bit of bt in it, hehe
