The Prince of Pingyang commands 200,000 elite troops and guards the border year-round. However, the Emperor often summons him back to the capital for various reasons, just to see his daughter-in-law and catch up on his brotherhood.
Therefore, the princess of Shouguang County's childhood was like a modern winter and summer vacation, often returning to Beijing for a short stay during the winter and summer.
As a result, his relationship with the Crown Prince, who was the eldest prince at the time, gradually improved.
The two were of similar age and were a perfect match in terms of looks, so the Emperor immediately arranged a marriage between them. After the Princess of Shouguang came of age, she was to marry the eldest prince.
When Yin Yuyao transmigrated, the two had already been married for five years. The current Princess of Shouguang was 20 years old, and the Crown Prince was 21 years old, and the two still had no children.
Her system calls itself 'S', and is the only system created by the main god. The task assigned to her is to 'become the Empress Dowager'. S promises to ensure that she will not face death in this interface. After completing the task, she can return to the real world and receive a generous reward.
She didn't want any reward, she just wanted to go home, but she couldn't escape her identity as a mission taker, so she had to bite the bullet and learn the original owner's lifestyle while managing the household. Her only wish was that the Crown Prince would die after ascending the throne so she could become the Empress Dowager, complete her mission, and go home.
Just one year after she arrived, the old emperor finally passed away, the crown prince ascended the throne, and the reign title was changed to Xinrong.
In the first year of Xinrong, Yin Yuyao became empress, beginning a palace life she did not want to mention.
Her ageless beauty caused a stir in the palace. The emperor intended to execute her, but she only 'died' for a few minutes before 'coming back to life,' startling the palace staff who were handling the aftermath. As a result, she became the deposed empress and was confined to the cold palace... Her mission was not completed until the fall of the Rong Dynasty.
She originally thought that even if she didn't complete the mission, she could still return to the modern world. At most, there would be no reward, and she could just consider it as having lived in ancient times for decades. However, reality gave her a rude awakening.
S told her that those who fail to complete the task will be forever trapped in this interface, unable to leave, and will never age or die.
She then realized that this was not the world in the book, but a real world, which S called the 'G1 Interface'. The world she was in before was the 'X3 Interface'. Because her mission failed, the time freeze in the X3 Interface had expired, which meant that she had completely become a person of the G1 Interface and could never leave.
After learning this news from S, no matter how much she pleaded, S remained unmoved, saying only that it was the will of the supreme god and that he could not change it, and then completely severed contact and disappeared.
Her identity was special; her two sons and two daughters, along with Chu Qiaoling, all participated in the rebellion and sacrificed themselves as a result. Chu Qiaoling originally wanted to vindicate her and make her a first-rank lady again, but later he saw her melancholy and left her fate to her own discretion.
She chose to leave.
For the next thirty years, she wandered the world, never staying in one place for more than a year because of her secret.
She did not return to her hometown until Chu Qiaoling passed away.
After personally offering sacrifices, she stayed in the palace temporarily, awaiting the new emperor's ascension to the throne.
"But I did not see Yan Xi ascend the throne later."
Yin Yuyao paused for a moment before continuing, "Because I was abducted from the palace and taken to a dark place. The person who could abduct me from the palace must be of extraordinary status or hold a high position of power."
"Right after I was kidnapped, rumors spread that I was a witch who had lived through two dynasties and was nearly a hundred years old but still looked young. Suddenly, there were more and more requests to 'slay the witch'. Yanxi was already anxious about my disappearance and had to appease everyone. She was exhausted and suddenly fell ill. When she woke up, she forgot that I existed. That's how I became a member of the Kite Walker."
“They kidnapped me just to study my body. Whipping, drawing blood, and cutting flesh were commonplace for me every day. They also often... took turns humiliating me, and this continues to this day.”
"Today marks my twentieth year at the Iris Company."
Although Yin Yuyao omitted many details, Chen Xiao understood that she had experienced far more, and perhaps even more tragically, than she had described.
Chen Xiao felt a little heavy-hearted. He looked at Yin Yuyao, who seemed to be indifferent to everything, but he noticed that her hands were already bleeding from the exertion. He fell silent, reached out and pulled her hands apart, then embraced her.
Yin Yuyao was stunned for a moment, sensing Chen Xiao's feelings. She slowly raised her hands, wanting to hug Chen Xiao back, but when she saw her hands covered in blood, she gave up the idea. Then she gently rested her head on Chen Xiao's shoulder and whispered, "Your Majesty, everyone has their own destiny, and I accept it."
After listening to the whole thing, Xi Xi, like Chen Xiao, had mixed feelings. But unlike Chen Xiao, besides feeling sorry for Yin Yu Yao, she was also angry at the "s" that Yin Yu Yao mentioned.
"Although I'm not the 'S' you mentioned, I still have to apologize to you. I'm sorry! I do manage the G1 interface, but I had absolutely no idea you existed. Regarding your claims about failed missions and eternal youth, neither the Main God nor I knew anything about them. Furthermore, forcibly detaining mission participants is strictly prohibited under our rules. It seems someone must be impersonating me, and someone of extremely high status, undetected even by the Main God. It seems the Primordial Realm isn't safe either! I need to log off for a few days..."
After Xi Xi sincerely apologized to Yin Yu Yao, she went offline, and time immediately returned to normal.
Those around were frozen in place for half an hour. As soon as they recovered, they saw Chen Xiao and Yin Yuyao embracing. Chen Xiao's face was grave, while Yin Yuyao's hands were stained with blood.
Seeing this, Ye Qi and the others assumed there were assassins and drew their swords to protect the two.
Only Xu Qian vaguely guessed what was going on. He stepped forward and ordered them to put down their swords. Then he gently separated the two who were embracing and whispered to Chen Xiao, "Your Majesty, the pause has been lifted."
Chen Xiao finally came to her senses and looked at the people around her. Everyone's face was filled with worry, even the injured victims. She bowed to them, "I'm sorry! I know words can't erase the hurt you've suffered, but I'm truly heartbroken. I don't know what I can do to make you feel any better..."
There were nearly a hundred victims standing here, some of whom had already lost all hope of survival. Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, they immediately knelt down before him, begging for death.
Looking at the vast crowd kneeling before her, with nearly half of them begging for death, she felt a mix of emotions.
Just as Chen Xiao was silently unable to bear it, the door was pushed open, and there were about twenty people standing at the door, most of them elderly. Everyone's eyes were moist, but their faces were filled with joy and anticipation.
