Xu Jinhuan sighed helplessly, "When we were taken out by the Imperial Guards before, the people were talking about it, and some of them were praising Xu Youyou's 'Shuidiao Getou'."
This poem is practically a must-read for any time-traveling woman. Now I'm even more suspicious that I've transmigrated into some novel, maybe even as some kind of villainous female supporting character.
In the end, he was killed by the male lead with a single blow because he framed the pitiful, innocent female lead, Xu Youyou.
Xu Jinhuan concealed the fact that she had read the novel. Although the system was cute, cuddly, and easy to bully, and was now her little helper, people in the apocalypse were used to keeping a backup plan in case of emergency.
[Ding ding, congratulations host for triggering a hidden quest: resolve resentment from your past life. Quest reward: one Marrow Cleansing Pill.]
Xu Jinhuan raised an eyebrow. There really was a hidden mission.
"System, why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"
The system, Xiao Wang, said apologetically, "Host, this hidden mission is something even our system doesn't know about. You need to trigger it yourself. I only just received the plot of your previous life."
Do you need me to teleport you to the next part of the story?
Xu Jinhuan nodded, "Okay, go ahead and send it."
Let me see if there are any discrepancies with that novel, though Xu Jinhuan didn't say this aloud.
[Beep beep, storyline begins...]
Xu Jinhuan leaned against the prison wall, silently absorbing the experiences of his past life.
In her previous life, the Xu family was also exiled. Xu Youyou was rescued by a mysterious man in black during her exile, a fact that Xu Jinhuan already knew from the novel.
However, there are still many things she doesn't know...
After Xu Youyou was rescued, the Xu family members were relentlessly pursued by a man in black, who seemed intent on wiping them out completely.
Relying on the vigilance honed during his years away from home, Xu Jinhuan managed to escape with his parents and Xu Tianzhou.
Although the Xu family managed to escape, they had no money and no household registration, so they could only find a small village to settle down in.
The Xu family was used to a life of luxury and couldn't bear hardship, so the burden of the family fell on Xu Jinhuan's shoulders. Because of this, their attitude towards Xu Jinhuan changed completely.
They showered her with concern and care every day, so even though she was exhausted every day, it was the happiest time of her life.
until……
Until Xu Tianzhou met Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou had already changed her name and identity, transforming herself into Zuo Xinlian, the second legitimate daughter of the wealthy Zuo family.
Worried that the Xu family might get in the way, Xu Youyou told the Fifth Prince about her chance encounter with Xu Tianzhou.
That very night, a fire broke out in the Xu family's thatched hut. Xu Jinhuan, who had just finished his work and hadn't fallen asleep yet, immediately discovered the fire.
Before she could even shout, she felt her body go limp and all her strength leave her.
It turned out that those people not only set the fire, but also burned incense to prevent the Xu family from escaping.
Fortunately, when Xu Jinhuan was adventuring alone in his early years, he met a poison doctor who offered him food and lodging in exchange for Xu Jinhuan helping him test medicines.
It was because of her experiences over the past few years that Xu Jinhuan's body developed resistance to some poisons, which prevented her from fainting immediately and allowed her to slowly crawl out.
Xu Jinhuan crawled out of the inferno alone. Although he survived, he suffered burns to varying degrees on his hands and feet...
As soon as Xu Tianzhou returned, he told Xu Youyou about his encounter with her. The next day, a fire broke out, and Xu Jinhuan immediately guessed that Xu Youyou had hired someone to start the fire.
In his past life, Xu Jinhuan was determined to avenge his family!
After she recovered from her injuries, she took advantage of the Zuo family's recruitment opportunity and became a maid in the Zuo household.
Through her efforts, she gradually got close to the people around Xu Youyou and finally found an opportunity to poison Xu Youyou's food.
They thought they would see Xu Youyou slowly weaken and die, but unexpectedly, Xu Youyou encountered a divine doctor while out and about, who immediately diagnosed that she had been poisoned.
Although Xu Jinhuan was very careful, she was still discovered by the Fifth Prince's secret guards. The Fifth Prince originally planned to have his secret guards kill her with one blow.
But Xu Youyou suddenly barged in, cried and sobbed in front of the Fifth Prince, and then said many "kind" things...
Thus, Xu Jinhuan, who could have died a quick death, was instead thrown into the Ten Thousand Snake Pit by the Fifth Prince's men, where he was torn apart and died a painful death by the bites of the snakes.
Xu Youyou and the Fifth Prince were always sweet and loving until the Fifth Prince inherited the throne, and Xu Youyou was then made Empress.
After seeing all thirteen of these, Xu Jinhuan himself couldn't help but sigh, "How miserable!"
And, the male and female leads are really ruthless!
It's practically a death sentence for anyone who gets near them; if they target you, you'll lose half your health.
"Can I just kill them right now?" Xu Jinhuan asked in his mind.
After hearing this, System Xiao Wang sighed silently. His host was indeed from the apocalypse; he could come up with a powerful move as soon as he opened his mouth.
Not for now. The two of them are the pillars of the world. If they die, the world will collapse.
However, the host need not be discouraged. If one can find someone to replace these two, slowly steal their fortune, and become the new pillar, then one can kill them at any time.
Xu Jinhuan nodded. It seemed that this little system wasn't the kind that was stubborn and inflexible, so she was relieved.
Replacing the world's pillars is indeed something that can't be rushed, but she can collect some interest first...
Thinking of this, Xu Jinhuan opened his eyes, got up from the straw mat, and walked towards Xu Youyou.
"Xu Jinhuan, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
Xu Youyou was lost in thought, imagining herself and the Fifth Prince living happily ever after, when she suddenly saw a shadow appear in front of her, which startled her and made her cry out.
