Unaware of the situation, Su Lixia was still worried about other people's affairs when the system suddenly appeared.
Su Lixia was already used to its sudden appearances, and asked without surprise, "What are you doing out here again?"
"I've been dormant for a long time. Your mission is stalled, and I'm about to lose my function and become a piece of scrap metal."
Su Lixia chuckled: "So that's how it works. Then why don't you come out for a stroll from time to time?"
"Hmph, this system is here to tell you that the BOSS is getting a new host and will no longer need to linger around here."
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia was overjoyed: "Really? Then I can return to reality?"
The little system snorted angrily again: "The message just came down from above. You have to abide by the laws of this world. You can only go back with the new host after the mission is completed. And let me tell you, the story will start all over again."
Su Lixia was stunned. This was too sudden. Her words made her a little nervous. She asked, "Then, what will be my next identity?"
"It's still random, of course; anything is possible."
Su Lixia immediately wilted, pouting aggrievedly, and asked again, "Didn't you say before that it would be enough to change the original owner's fate?"
"There's nothing I can do. I'm just following the rules and regulations. If I do the task and think of a good way, I might succeed. I even made an exception and showed you some of my previous hosts' success stories."
Su Lixia sobbed, "Isn't there any other way? My good days have just begun."
"Finding a new host isn't so easy. If you perform well before that, we can keep you. She'll be the backup. If you quit, we'll replace you."
Su Lixia's lips twitched, she was truly speechless: "Isn't this just a roundabout way of making people do tasks?"
"You can also choose not to do it." After saying that, the little system left.
Su Lixia wanted to roar to the sky; this plot twist was just too outrageous.
"If I want to make a living, I have to work harder." Su Lixia secretly challenged herself, preparing to make a big push.
Su Lixia pondered for a while, then got up and paced back and forth on the ground.
Xiaolian cooked her some brown sugar and red date soup to nourish her. When she came upstairs, she saw her walking along while sighing, and Xiaolian couldn't help but worry.
"What's wrong with the princess?"
Hearing this, Su Lixia stopped and looked at her in confusion, asking, "What did you just say?"
"Has something happened to the princess?"
"Tell me, now that I'm already here, does that mean I have no choice but to marry into a foreign land?"
Xiao Lian shook her head: "It depends on the Emperor and their arrangements. Maybe the princess will only be a hostage for a year or two."
Su Lixia waved her hand: "Everyone was so sure I would be the Regent's wife before, I guess there must be something we don't know."
"What does the princess mean?" There must be a reason why she suddenly brought this up.
"Why don't we just get married?" If we just get married, we can take over the position of princess and not leave the female lead any chance. That would infuriate him.
Xiao Lian stepped forward and touched her forehead, then sighed softly and said, "I just made some hot brown sugar and red date water, Princess, you should nourish yourself."
"What do you mean?"
"Princess, don't worry about these things. When the time comes, someone will surely inform everyone, so that you can be prepared."
Su Lixia raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself, "If he doesn't hate me as much after a while, and we get married then, won't he have a lot of 'darkening points'?"
Seeing that Su Lixia was preoccupied, Xiaolian couldn't help but chuckle mischievously: "Princess, could it be that you have feelings for the prince, which is why you're in such a hurry to marry him?"
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia coughed twice, somewhat startled. She patted her chest, then shook her head and said, "What are you thinking? How could that be?"
Xiaolian didn't believe it: "But the princess said last time that she couldn't marry him, who knows who she might marry next."
"I still think so now, but then I suddenly realized something is wrong. Think about it, being a hostage takes at least a year. Father could have waited until the marriage with the Regent was officially arranged before bringing the dowry over. Why did you bring it over now?"
After hearing Su Lixia's explanation, Xiaolian understood a little better.
"Could His Majesty really have ulterior motives?"
Su Lixia nodded solemnly: "Very likely."
This must be what they call the telepathic connection between father and daughter; it's so accurate.
"Then the princess really needs to think it over carefully; she might be getting married in a month or two."
Su Lixia clapped her hands: "I hope your words are blessed and come true. Hurry up and get married, the sooner the better."
Upon hearing this, Xiaolian was completely dumbfounded, unsure whether what she had said earlier was a good thing or a bad thing.
The little system, which could hear everything in the air, made a smug expression: "Looks like the method everyone came up with is really useful! Let's get started!"
After saying that, he sighed softly, "However, such a host is rare. I really don't know how long he can last."
