Chapter 1: The First Chapter - Becoming a Novice with Eight-Pack Abs and Going Public...
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, its light pouring down on the imposing buildings, casting a gentle glow.
On the high city wall stood a tall and elegant figure, looking down at the myriad lights of distant homes.
A moment later, the man leaped into the air and disappeared into the darkness...
In the dead of night, ten miles outside the city wall, a commotion arose in the backyard of a house called "Su Residence".
"Get out of the way!" The exquisitely handsome young man stood in front of a side room and shouted in a deep voice.
Unfortunately, he was thin and had an overly refined and handsome appearance, as well as a pair of clear and bright eyes, so when he got angry, he didn't have much power and didn't have the intimidating feeling he had imagined.
The two women in green clothes said nothing, but stretched out their arms to block him solidly, their meaning couldn't be clearer.
They never took the boy seriously. He was very mild-mannered, and even if he occasionally threw a tantrum, he wouldn't cause any big trouble and was not a threat at all.
One of the women, who had a beauty mark under her eye, glanced at the young man disdainfully: "Young master, you are not allowed to leave your room without the head of the family's permission."
The boy frowned slightly, his expression hardening: "Then don't block my way, let me see her."
The woman's eyes revealed impatience, and she stated in a cold tone, "You cannot go to see the head of the family without his summons."
A hint of anger flashed in the boy's eyes. He lowered his face, raised his chin slightly, and revealed an arrogance that did not match his appearance: "What exactly do you want? Just state your conditions directly, don't waste each other's time."
To be honest, he didn't want to argue with a woman at all, but this was the third time he had been stopped. He wasn't a criminal, so why was she restricting his personal freedom?
The woman glanced at the young man with considerable surprise. His actions were truly baffling. In the past, if the patriarch had been mentioned, he would never have dared to utter another word. Now that things had come to this point, why was he still stubbornly clinging to his own opinion?
Strangely enough, ever since the young master caught a cold two days ago and was unconscious for a day before waking up, he has been acting strangely, throwing tantrums time and time again. His former gentle, virtuous, and submissive nature is gone, and his words and actions are quite eccentric and sharp, as if he has become a different person.
If we let him continue like this, things will go wrong sooner or later. If the head of the family blames us, everyone in the side courtyard will probably be in deep trouble.
Thinking of this, she had no choice but to put aside her indifferent attitude and said coldly, "Young man, as a man you must abide by the three obediences and four virtues, and you must not show your face in public at will, otherwise you will disgrace the Su family, and you may not be able to bear the consequences!"
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" The boy almost couldn't catch his breath, and said in disbelief, "The Three Obediences and Four Virtues? What am I, a grown man, supposed to uphold..."
He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, suddenly realizing his current situation. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, chilling him to the bone. He swallowed back the words he was about to say and asked through gritted teeth, "So how long do you intend to keep me locked up?"
It's absurd, really. When he woke up last night, he learned from a system that appeared out of nowhere in his mind that he had transmigrated into a book. He had transmigrated into a novel called "The Strongest Female Emperor Who Overturns the World" and become a sickly girl who had just come of age and could die at any moment.
Even more absurdly, this is a strange country where women are superior and men are inferior, with women responsible for protecting the country and men responsible for bearing and raising children.
He was originally the CEO of a listed company, but after a plane crash, he woke up in this bizarre place. Fate had really played a cruel joke on him, completely overturning his worldview overnight.
The original owner was also named Fu Yun, just like him, but with an extra surname, Su. His given name was Fu Yun, and his courtesy name was Zixin. He was the youngest son of a concubine in the Su family.
As the Su family gradually declined, his life became even more difficult.
He was neither a woman nor born of the principal wife, so he naturally became the least favored young master, and bullying and suppression were commonplace for him. The severe bullying he suffered in the early stages caused his personality to become twisted and paranoid, eventually leading to his complete descent into darkness.
To avenge the humiliation he suffered, he used every means to marry the renowned general. On the surface, he was subservient and obedient, obeying the general's every command. In secret, however, he entangled himself with the powerful heroine, framed loyal officials, colluded with foreign powers, and committed all sorts of evil deeds, including murder and arson.
His final fate was incredibly tragic; he was subjected to the excruciating punishment of being sliced to death and then torn apart by five horses, a truly gruesome end.
Fu Yun couldn't help but think to himself, "I'd rather be blown up back on the plane than be slowly sliced to pieces and then torn apart by five horses."
[I'm sorry, you don't currently qualify for deportation. Only by surviving in the matriarchal society and completing the mission will you have a chance to return to your peaceful era.]
A mechanical child's voice suddenly rang in my mind.
Fu Jun's heart skipped a beat. Although it wasn't the first time he had heard the system speak, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.
When the system revealed its origin, it mentioned that it was called Xiao Ba. It appeared because the male supporting character in the book died in too much pain and had too much resentment. Fu Jun's mission was to change the tragic ending of the young master of the Su family.
Fu Jun was already feeling depressed and had no mood to respond to Xiao Ba. He was focused on how to persuade the two women blocking the door. He just wanted to get out of this detention center-like room.
Indeed, this room felt like a small cage to him.
The two women outside the door were guards sent by the mistress of the mansion to monitor him; their names were Su Zi and Su Mang.
Su Zi, who has a beauty mark under her eye, is the most talkative, while Su Mang remains silent.
"Young man, there's no point in saying more. Don't say I didn't warn you, bandits have been rampant lately, and several handsome men have disappeared without a trace. Going out would be suicide."
Su Zi interrupted Fu Jun's thoughts, her gaze sweeping over him, a meaningful glint flashing in her eyes, her intentions unclear.
Fu Jun was about to respond when Su Zi didn't give him a chance to speak: "A handsome young man like you would only be more to their liking. Of course, if you have ulterior motives and want to become a bandit's husband, then that's another matter."
When she said this, her tone was clearly sarcastic and mocking, and even more so, gloating.
Fu Yun: "..." What the heck is this "bandit's servant"? Her attitude is too rude, she doesn't take the young master of the Su family seriously at all.
It's truly pathetic that a young master like him, with such a lowly status and living such a humble life, is treated so poorly.
"She's just trying to scare you, to make you back down! There's not a single easy person in the Su family," Xiao Ba interjected in Fu Yun's mind.
Fu Jun thought to himself, "Oh? Is this an attempt to intimidate me?"
【Correct answer! 】
Fu Jun scoffed: "Ha!"
Are you kidding me? He's the CEO of a listed company, what kind of people hasn't he seen? Why would he be afraid of something like this?
Seeing that he still acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water after all that she had said, Su Zi lost her patience and scolded him with great displeasure: "Alright, put away your young master temper and stop being unreasonable, or don't blame me for being merciless."
Fu Yun almost couldn't hold back: "..." Who on earth is being unreasonable?
He took several deep breaths to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor and refrain from venting his anger on the woman.
"Go back." The woman emphasized, clearly no longer wanting to waste words with Fu Yun. She raised the object in her other hand, twirled it around, and her meaning was clear: if he didn't know what was good for him, she would take action.
Fu Yun's gaze fell on the restless feather duster, and an indescribable crack appeared on his handsome face. He recalled that when he had just woken up and was still a little dazed, he was blocked by these two women and mistakenly thought that they were women that his business partners had deliberately sent to curry favor with him.
So we exchanged a few brief words using our usual excuses, and I was mercilessly whipped a few times by this thing.
The thought of it made him so angry that his liver ached.
The CEO of Xiang Sheng Group, a prestigious company, was humiliated by someone who hit him on the backside with a feather duster. Where does he put his face now?
These two women are simply unreasonable. No matter how much you try to reason with them, it's useless. They suppress him at every turn and refuse to let him go out.
This is outrageous! Who has dared to be so presumptuous in front of him all these years?
Anyone who opposes him will either be ruined or forced to beg for mercy.
Now that I'm in this godforsaken place, I'm useless at everything and am the number one oppressor.
He not only lost everything, but also his strong and healthy physique.
It's truly embarrassing to admit that with his current frail body, which bruises easily at the slightest touch, it's wishful thinking to think he can conquer anyone with force.
You can imagine how formidable these women are just from the fact that he sneaked out in the middle of the night last night and was dragged back by one of them by the collar.
He even began to doubt whether they were women or if they had developed some kind of supernatural ability.
Whether it's their appearance or their curvaceous figures, it's clear they are genuine women.
"Bang!"
Fu Yun ultimately slammed the door shut and plopped back down in a chair inside the room.
"That's more like it. You know how to be pragmatic."
The woman outside the door spoke with disdain.
Fu Yun scoffed coldly, too lazy to utter another word in rebuttal.
Anyway, they're completely unyielding, so talking to them is pointless.
Just wait, one day he will show them what a real man is, and he will let them witness the courage and power that belongs to a man.
Fu Yun felt a sudden, sharp pain in his temples. He closed his eyes and rubbed it in circles with his fingertips for a while. Then he pressed his upper abdomen and felt something was wrong; he had a stomachache.
Over the years, he had become accustomed to being the boss in the company, and had never been suppressed or bullied like this before.
Fortunately, he had been a leader in the construction industry for many years and had excellent mental fortitude; otherwise, he would have surely died of anger.
[President Fu, you need to stay calm! A small act of impatience can ruin a big plan. With your abilities, they will definitely respect and admire you in the future.]
Fu Yun retorted angrily, "I'm practically a tortoise in endurance, and that's not enough? I think you just want me to die coughing up blood because you think I've lived too long!"
No, no! Let's cooperate for mutual benefit.
"Young master, let me give you a piece of advice: you'd better go to bed early. Otherwise, if the matchmaker comes to propose marriage tomorrow and you don't look well, it will damage the family's reputation. If the marriage falls through, even if you cry and make a scene, it won't help."
Su Zi's cold voice came from outside the door again.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yun's body stiffened, her scattered thoughts instantly returning to normal. A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in her heart, and she asked stiffly, "Marriage proposal? What marriage proposal?"
Didn't the original owner later enter the general's mansion? Could it be that she had to deal with marriage proposals in the early stages?
"What? Has the young master fallen asleep and forgotten what he did?" Su Zi mocked.
Fu Yun walked to the door, flung it open, crossed her arms, leaned against the doorframe, and adopted an indifferent attitude, asking with a half-smile, "Oh? What did I do? Tell me then?"
Since we're already here, to solve the problem, we need to figure out the cause so we can find the right solution.
Su Zi's face turned green at his posture, and she said angrily, "What are you pretending to be so big for? Didn't you shamelessly beg the head of the family to offer yourself to General Qian as his husband?"
As she spoke, she revealed a look of disdain: "Tsk! You shamelessly said that you love General Qian and that you will marry no one but her in this life. When the head of the family did not agree, you threatened to kill yourself. Only when you were determined to marry her did the head of the family grant your request."
Fu Yun: "..."
The plot had already reached the point where she was going to marry the general, which was the beginning of all the tragedies. The plot had to be changed to stop the marriage.
Fu Yun straightened her expression and said, "No need, I don't need it anymore."
"What?" Su Zixing's eyes widened: "Are you crazy? You think you can do whatever you want just because you're a little pretty? Who do you think you are? General Qian has made great military achievements. You can't just marry him or not marry him as you please!"
Fu Yun was about to continue arguing when Su Zi didn't give him the chance: "Alright, stop talking nonsense. General Qian will be back in Lingzhou City in two days. The head of the family went to great lengths to get her to agree to take you as a concubine. At this crucial moment, avoid causing trouble. Your marriage to her will soon be on the agenda."
Fu Yun's eyes widened in disbelief: "A concubine? Does that mean she also has a legal husband?"
Could it be that women here can marry multiple men, just like men in ancient times had multiple wives and concubines?
Good heavens! The wheel of fortune has turned, and now it's his turn?
How could the head of a listed company be reduced to marrying a woman and becoming her husband? Isn't that ridiculous?
A note from the author:
As for what the real mission is, it will gradually become clear as the story progresses. The system doesn't dare to increase the difficulty at the beginning, fearing that the protagonist will simply go on strike and refuse to do anything.
