The next day, He Yin found herself tightly grasped by the Empress Dowager, who was tearfully calling her daughter.
At the same time, He Yin received a shocking piece of news—she had been proposed to, and the suitor was none other than Regent, Qin Xi.
He Yin was momentarily stunned. Then, upon seeing Qin Xi's cunning, fox-like eyes and recalling the information she had stored in her mind from the game, she immediately understood that Qin Xi's intention to make her the Imposter Princess was not a whim.
In this dynasty, the royal family was sparse, with only one Child Emperor remaining.
If Qin Xi married a princess, should anything happen to the emperor, it would not be unreasonable for Qin Xi to ascend to the throne as the prince consort.
"I won't allow it!" The Empress Dowager exclaimed protectively, quickly pulling He Yin behind her.
Qin Xi glanced at He Yin and signaled her with his eyes to take action.
He Yin hesitated, contemplating whether she should cling to the Empress Dowager instead. Just then, she noticed her health points had increased, bringing her a small sense of comfort; after all, this was just a game.
Qin Xi mouthed a word—Imperial Jade Seal.
"Just an NPC," He Yin murmured to herself, voicing her thoughts.
While feeling comforted, her mood inevitably sank. Her thoughts drifted far away as she pondered when she would return to real life… As she thought about it, that person's deep black eyes involuntarily surfaced in her mind, stirring up a wave of reluctance within her.
He Yin was startled and soon found herself in tears. She tightly embraced the Empress Dowager and cried out loudly, "Mother! I am unfilial and cannot stay by your side. I truly love Regent; I will marry no one but Qin Xi..."
He Yin's heartfelt declaration was filled with genuine emotion, as if it were the truest reflection of her innermost feelings.
The Empress Dowager was moved to tears by her words, calling her "my precious" repeatedly. However, she ultimately could not resist the wishes of this false daughter and reluctantly relented.
At the moment He Yin donned the phoenix crown and ceremonial robes, an overwhelming sense of unreality surged within her.
For the first time in her life, she was getting married, and it was in this virtual game world!
That night, Qin Xi entered the palace. He dismissed the palace maids and walked straight to He Yin's bedside.
At that moment, He Yin thought that no man should be allowed to enter such a place freely, so she had dressed rather casually. Upon suddenly seeing Qin Xi, she hurriedly pulled the blanket over herself, blushing deeply.
Seeing this, Qin Xi scoffed, "There's hardly anything to see; why are you so shy?"
He Yin huffed and extended a hand from under the blanket, palm facing Qin Xi, boldly declaring, "Today, this princess is graciously cooperating with you; hurry up and give me my reward."
"What reward does the princess desire?" Qin Xi raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
He Yin made a gesture as if forming the shape of the Imperial Jade Seal, her eyes revealing her longing.
"When did I ever say I possessed the Imperial Jade Seal?" Qin Xi retorted.
He Yin spread her hands wide and confidently replied, "It's common knowledge."
"Do you really want the Imperial Jade Seal that badly?" Qin Xi fixed his gaze firmly on He Yin.
"Shiny and bright, who wouldn't want that?" He Yin retorted defiantly.
Qin Xi fell silent, pondering for a while before slowly saying, "There's nothing good about that thing."
He Yin glared at him, feeling dissatisfied: Yet you still treasure it, don't you?
Qin Xi sighed, "Power isn't something you can obtain just with an Imperial Jade Seal."
But to complete the mission, one definitely needs an Imperial Jade Seal, He Yin thought to herself with a sigh.
Just then, someone suddenly burst into the bridal chamber.
This person had a dagger hidden in their sleeve and bore a striking resemblance to He Yin.
He Yin couldn't help but feel that marrying Regent was indeed not easy.
As she was about to evade, she suddenly found herself frozen in place, completely "sculpted" — once again under the control of the system.
She could only watch helplessly as the intruder stuffed her mouth, took off her outer robe to wear for themselves, and then bound her up and tossed her beneath the bed.
He Yin glared furiously, struggling desperately but unable to move an inch or make a sound, filled with anger and helplessness.
