【Warning, warning, the host is awakening, warning, warning, the host is awakening!】
I woke up with a splitting headache and struggled to open my eyes.
The first thing I saw was the ancient style bed curtain, and I heard a piercing scream: " Miss is awake! Miss is awake!"
I frowned and spoke softly, asking her to keep her voice down: "Please keep your voice down!"
What's going on? This isn't my style at all.
I sat up and looked around, then glanced at the people kneeling on the floor in the room. My mind was slow to process it—did I time travel?
"Hey, my darling, you're finally awake! Come, let Mama see where you're feeling unwell."
A woman walked in and pounced on me as soon as she entered the room. I dodged quickly, leaving her grasping at thin air, and she looked at me with a bewildered expression.
At that moment, a line of text appeared above her head: Second Lady of the Tang Family, birth mother of Tang Qing, Sulan.
This name... why does it sound so familiar??
Two more people entered the door, one of them about my age, with a pale complexion and a constant cough.
Miss Tang from the Tang family, Tang Qing, eldest sister, Tang Rou.
I have three black lines on my head. Isn't this the female lead in the ancient novel I've been reading recently?
She is portrayed as pure, kind, and innocent, relying entirely on the male lead to protect her. There are internal family struggles, palace conflicts, and in the end, she grows old with the male lead, laughing proudly in the world.
So, I lowered my head and looked at my green clothes. Am I the second female lead, Tang Qing? The one with the "Angelic Bitch" character setting, who competes with the female lead and constantly sabotages her?
"Qing'er, is something wrong? Let eldest sister take a look." Tang Rou grabbed my hand anxiously as soon as she entered the door.
A man followed behind her, with a handsome appearance and a righteous demeanor, but his eyes were filled with mockery.
"Miss, she's lucky to be alive. Why bother with her? You've also fallen into the water, you should take care of yourself and recuperate."
[System: Pretend to be pushed down by Tang Rou oh dear~]
... What if I don't? Just as this retort formed in my mind, my heart suddenly constricted, causing me to grimace in pain. I promptly fell to the ground, biting my lip and turning my head, "Eldest sister, why push me?"
Tang Rou looked obviously confused, while the person behind her, Lin Tian, smirked and said, "Who are you doing this for? The Seventh Prince isn't even here. Clearly, you fell on your own!"
I was also puzzled. If the male lead isn't here, who are you doing this for?
"What's the matter?" A clear and cold voice came from outside the house, and a goose-yellow robe with gold trim caught the eye as the male lead walked in and stood still. He cast a quick glance at me with lowered eyes, then turned his gaze away. Even standing there quietly, he exuded extraordinary grace and an air of nobility, giving off a sense of elegance and purity.
Rong Chen, the male lead of this novel.
"Pay respects to The Seventh Prince."
There were already many people inside the house, and it became even more crowded when the Rong Chen came in.
He made a sound of agreement, "How much longer do you want to stay crouched?"
I stood up quickly, brushed the dust off my butt, and found everyone in the room staring at me with wide eyes. Suddenly, I realized that I was in ancient times.
I adjusted my skirt and walked over to Sulan, saying, "Mother, it hurts."
Sulan patted my head with a heartache.
"I... didn't push her," Tang Rou said, biting her lip and looking at Rong Chen with a grievance. Rong Chen nodded slightly and handed me a cold knife, saying, "If Rouer says she didn't push, then she didn't push."
What's the deal with this character? The male and female leads are already so close, wouldn't I be making a fool of myself by intervening like this?
Rong Chen is not a soft-hearted host.
"Your Highness, General Tang requests your presence in the main hall for a discussion." Just as I was at a loss for how to proceed, a servant arrived to inform me, saving me from my embarrassment.
Rong Chen left, followed by Tang Roulin, and after some instructions from Sulan, she also left.
The room suddenly became much more spacious, and the maid went outside to wait. I lay on the bed and summoned the system in my mind.
Me: What is the mission?
System: Learn how to be an Angelic Bitch and help the male lead ascend to the throne, dear.
Me: ...
Me: I'm a 21st century steel straight girl, and you want me to learn how to be an Angelic Bitch??? Have you ever been beaten up?
System: No, dear~ You did great just now, dear~ That's the way, dear~
Me: ...How can I go back?
System: The task is completed, dear~
Beautiful! Pretend I didn't ask.
I close my eyes, intending to sort out the current plot.
"fall into water" is a play directed and performed by Tang Qing, aimed at framing Tang Rou. Now is the time of turmoil in the palace, and Rong Chen is seeking to marry into my family. The General's Mansion is a big supporter.
Originally, Rong Chen and Tang Rou were in love, and this opportunity to form an alliance was a further step in their relationship. However, due to Tang Qing's interference, the woman who was supposed to marry Rong Chen ended up marrying him instead.
Tang Rou went to confront Tang Qing, and in the midst of their argument, they accidentally fell into a pool. It was Tang Qing who lost her footing and fell, but the determined woman insisted on pulling her sister up by herself. When she failed to do so, she fell in as well.
If it weren't for the servants from the mansion passing by, these two would probably have gone west directly.
