Chapter 1.1 Shen Qi
"Princess, please don't cry anymore. Little Yu knows that Princess loves General Li, but Princess knows that the Emperor and your brothers do not like him for Princess. They are only doing what's best for Princess."
Clear, or now known as Shen Qi, woke up in this scene when she arrived in her first world.
She was confused at first about what the maid was talking about, but based on what she was saying, it looks like she is some sort of a Princess in some dynasty.
She was crying because her brothers and the Emperor rejected the notion of her marrying General Li.
"Little Yu, can you please go out? I want to be alone for now."
Shen Qi, gracefully, like a white lotus, covered her face with a white handkerchief embroidered with a plum blossom.
Shen Qi tilted her face to the other side, refusing to let the maid see her face, pouting and crying like a d*mn retard.
Shen Qi patted the handkerchief she was holding onto her face to wipe her "dry tears".
Little Yu, who was hesitant to leave her Princess, tried to say a few comforting words to her as she tried to look at the face of her Princess, who was trying her very best to look away, for tears had already long gone from her eyes.
Shen Qi, who was being spied on, cursed and could not help but pinch her thigh.
Tears immediately started streaming down her beautiful face because of how painful it felt to pinch your own self.
Looking back, the Little Yu, Shen Qi pitifully pouted at the maid while looking at her with her big doe red rimmed eyes.
"Please, Little Yu?"
Shen Qi's eyes almost turned to stars as she pleaded at Little Yu; her eyes were watery as she tried her best to stare at her pitifully.
"A-Are you sure, Princess?"
Little Yu was hesitant to leave her Princess since she knew that her Princess was very depressed, and she might do something rash if she were to leave her.
But looking at this, her eyes, her fragile heart could not take this cuteness!!
Little Yu covered her nose; blood almost leaked from between her fingers.
Now, what was she doing again? Her Princess is just too cute when she cries!!!!
"I'm really fine, Little Yu. I just want to be alone for now... to think."
Shen Qi put her hands together under her chin. She pouted as she looked down and then back at Little Yu with her eyes pleading.
Seeing this, Little Yu's heart was pierced by thousands of arrows.
She held her chest tightly, afraid that if she didn't, she might faint from the cuteness overload!!
What the hell is happening to her?! Is this the Legendary Sadism?!
"I-I will do as the Princess's order."
Little Yu quickly said her farewell and ran out of Shen Qi's room like her butt was on fire; she was pinching her nose as she ran away, face red.
When Little Yu finally left, Shen Qi immediately stopped her act.
Yes, she was shameless enough to be called thick-skinned skinned but this....
"........."
Looking at the boundless sky, Shen Qi felt that it was such a nice day.
Frowning like she had never done before, Shen Qi called for her "useless" System, which immediately abandoned her without any explanation.
"Why don't you give me the story plot now, my little Sys.tem?" Shen Qi sweetly smiled to no one but the empty space in front of her.
[*Ehem* Yo Host! Hahaha... don't worry. I had already sent the story plot to you, it's just that the signal is too slow.] The System nervously reasoned out.
Shen Qi's face darkened, hearing the System's excuse again.
Yes, they had just met, but she could already tell that the System she got is a scam!!
All her hopes and dreams had been shattered by that realization; now she could not help but want to pummel the System's ass.
[Story Title: My Two-Faced Consort
World Grade: D
Story Details: The story is about a girl who had transmigrated from the 21st century to the past. Her name is Feng An. She one day woke up in the useless body of the second miss of the An household, not wanting to be known as the useless miss anymore, she used her knowledge from the future to clear up her name as the useless second miss and then build her reputation back from scratch.
Because of being a person from the 21st Century, she is both bold and fearless, having no fear of her opponents, even if they were royalty, and because of this, she had caught the attention of the rising and reputed genius General Li or better known as the ML, Li Fengxian.
The ML found the FL's actions interesting and fresh to the eyes since all the ladies in their era were all timid and always followed the book, but she was different, so he chased after her.
But Feng An did not immediately fall in love with him; she avoided him in every possible way, but she always fell right into his arms in the end.
In the end, because of his endless chasing and sweet talking, Feng An finally fell in love with him and gave him her sweet "Yes". The two then got married, and the nation celebrated the wedding of their new Emperor and Empress.
The two then lived happily ever after.
Hidden Plot: ??????
*scroll down* ]
"So, in short, this person is just a wild bitch? Correct? What? She did not fall directly in love with the ML? Gosh, she was just faking it! She was f*ck*ng head over hills with him even before he met her!"
Shen Qi was speechless reading the story plot. How could there be such a nonsensical love story theme happening in her first mission world?
"And you know, there are too many plot holes in this story! How the heck did the General end up becoming the Emperor in the later part anyway? The Royal family is still alive!"
Not only was she speechless because of how roughly made up the story plot is, but she could almost not utter a single thing because of how the nonsense just kept on piling on.
She was really speechless!
"And how wicked is this bitch to frame such a kind-hearted person like Shen Qi and accuse her of adultery? She even got one of her brothers killed because he was on the way? If I ever got my hands on that bitch, I will skin her alive!!" Clear screamed as she scrolled down the Plot further.
Shen Qi lamented the Fate of the original Shen Qi; she pities the child.
Shen Qi was the most beautiful and kind-hearted person she had ever met (read about), why do good people suffer?
[Stop cursing, girl. Just be on your way on face slapping the bit-- I mean the FL. But don't forget that you can't kill the Leads in this world, Golden Rule No. 3! Ta Ta, I'll be going now. I still need to go fishing. Just call me if it's an emergency, if not, then don't disturb me if it's not that important!]
"What? You're leaving just like that?! Are you really my System? And where's my mission?!"
Shen Qi felt so frustrated dealing with this System of hers. Her System is truly unpredictable and super lazy!

"Qi Mu Xuan? He's the brother who died, right? But according to the plot, she dislikes her brother and even avoids him like the plague. Also, they are not even that close, so how come this was her deepest regret before she passed away? It looks like I need to investigate this matter more deeply. I need to get to the bottom of this."
*Knock*
*Knock*
*Knock*
Shen Qi snapped out of her thoughts immediately when she heard a gentle knock on her door.
"Come in."
Shen Qi quickly fixed her expression and looked outside the window with a melancholic look. She leaned towards the window and put her chin on top of her hands.
"Lil Princess, I heard that you were not feeling well from Fourth Brother. I heard that it's because we rejected your idea of marrying General Li. Sigh..."
The Second Prince could only sigh when he noticed that Shen Qi was not saying anything.
The Second Prince was guilty about what happened, what he and his brothers had done, but they had no choice. This is for the best.
After hesitating for a while, he walked towards her bed and sat right beside her.
"I'm sorry Lil Princess, your Second Brother could not help you on this one. If only it were another man, then we would not have rejected your idea, it's just tha....."
"Second Brother...."
After not talking for so long, Shen Qi finally spoke and faced her brother.
"I am not mad or sad anymore. I understand that you were only doing this for my sake."
"R-Really? Are you really not mad anymore about us rejecting you?" The Second Prince asked with disbelief written all over his face.
"No, I'm not mad anymore." Shen Qi smiled to assure him.
"You're not mad, but you're sad, right?"
"Let's just say a little bit, but I'm really fine now, so tell the others to stop worrying about me." Shen Qi helplessly smiled.
'I'm really good at this. I have now just found out that I could have won the Oscar Award back home; I should have entered the entertainment world. Sadly, I'm too gorgeous to be casually shown off around.' Shen Qi thought.
"If you all say not to marry, then I will not marry, but this will be the last time I will let you all reject me. The next time, even if you say no, I will still marry the person that I choose, even if I need to run away."
Shen Qi threatened and pouted.
"Lil Princess, why do you have to run away?! Okay, your Second Brother promises that I won't reject the next person you choose as long as he is not Li Fengxian!"
The Second Prince put a heavy emphasis on Li Fengxian's name.
'Yes, she could marry. She could marry as long as the other person was not General Li.'
They could not possibly endanger the life of their precious little sister. The Li Family was getting too obnoxious lately, so they had to guard against them.
They knew that the Li Family could no longer wait; soon, they would rebel and forcefully take the imperial throne.
If their precious little sister were to marry into their family, they are sure that the Li Family would use her against them.
After all, Shen Qi was their Achilles heel.
They do not wish for their little princess to be caught in the crossfire.
Even though General Li is a good candidate for marriage but they could just not afford it. If only he were not a Li descendant, then it would have been right.
"Alright, deal! Don't you dare forget what you just promised to me, dear Second Brother, for in the future I will pretty much collect the debt." Shen Qi coyly smiled.
"Of course! My promise weighed a million gold. I will not easily break a promise, especially if the person is you."
The Second Prince cheekily pinched his Lil Princess's cheeks.
The Second Prince did not stay too long to accompany Shen Qi; he was quite a busy man himself since he managed many state affairs to help his First Brother, the current Emperor.
When the Second Prince left, Shen Qi let out a sigh of relief and then lay down on her bed.
Since coming into this world and then receiving the plot and the body's memories from the System right after, she developed an urge to pummel the System's ass for not giving a warning again before giving her the body's memories.
Never would she have thought that it would hurt like hell when she received the body's memories!
She really wanted to rest, but there were too many nuisances that prevented her from sleeping. Now that the nuisance is already gone, she could finally sleep.
Shen Qi could feel her body becoming heavier; she could hardly open her eyes as sleep finally took over her.
While she was sleeping, she dreamed that someone was caressing her face in her dream.
The face in her dream was unfamiliar to her, but familiar at the same time. She tried to recall where she had seen that face from, but nothing came to mind.
She just kept on dreaming and watching the person who was sitting right beside her on her bed.
That person was looking at her with his warm, gentle gaze, and... is that love in his eyes she's seeing?
She was baffled as to why the man kept on looking at her in that kind of way; she could feel goosebumps all over her entire body.
Finally, she can't take it anymore.
She forced herself to wake up, to wake up from her dream world to the real world!
"Hmmm...."
Shen Qi did not know how she managed to really wake herself up, but she really did; her eyes slowly fluttered open, meeting the already darkened sky.
She supported herself and sat up, her brows furrowed.
'Why is it warm?'
She wondered while touching the bed covers beside her.
She knew that she did not move an inch from her spot, so why in the world is the bed cover beside her so warm? Like, like someone was just here a moment ago.
'Is my dream really not a dream?'
'Is someone really lying right beside me when I was asleep?'
A gust of fresh wind entered the room through the open window. Shen Qi caught a smell in the air, a smell that she knew was not there before.
She could smell the fresh scent of sandalwood and a sun-baked aroma in the air...
"Who could it be?"
