Chapter 15

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the bed, falling face-first and groaning in pain as if suffering a great injustice.

【Can’t you fix this damn bug? I didn’t let the female lead kill me, but your teleportation almost got me killed. Luckily, I landed on the bed. If I had fallen headfirst onto the ground, I would’ve broken my neck. How could I survive then?】

(I’m working on it, I’m working on it. Please bear with it a bit longer, host.)

Prince Ying was the eighth son of the current emperor. His birth mother was the favored concubine, Yi Fei. On the day of his birth, the sky was filled with colorful clouds, but Yi Fei, who had yet to make a mark in the palace, chose a humble and elegant name for him: Luo Zhengyu, derived from musical notes, to avoid drawing attention to herself and her son before they could secure their position.

However, the words “naturally gifted” seemed to be written for him. From a young age, he displayed extraordinary intelligence and grew up to be an outstanding figure among his brothers. Unfortunately, he was also narrow-minded, ruthless, and cold-hearted, making him a genuinely callous person.

【I don’t get it.】

Luo Zhengyu grabbed some ointment from a nearby table, gritting his teeth as he applied it to his wounds.

【Why did I have to run into my wife while following the plot?】

【I almost got killed. My wife is so fierce! She strikes so hard!】

(Is there a possibility that you are just too weak?)

【Eat sh*t, you damn system!】

Luo Zhengyu threw the ointment aside in frustration. How could it say he was weak? Did he choose to be like this?

Lying down on the bed, Luo Zhengyu looked at the nearly human-shaped creature floating in the air, visible only to him, and spoke with annoyance.

【Answer seriously. Was today’s mishap another plot bug?】

(No, it should be a chain reaction from Luo Zhengyu’s death, but the exact cause of death is still unknown.) 【This chain reaction is a bit too much.】

Luo Zhengyu sighed deeply.

【I just can’t understand it. Luo Zhengyu, he didn’t just die accidentally, right? How could his death cause so many issues?】

No one had even noticed when Luo Zhengyu died for a moment. He took over with the system, only to get kicked hard as soon as he woke up. After lying in bed for two days, the engagement was annulled.

The original person, named Luo Yu, was a man from a technologically advanced era, a tough guy with integrity.

But unfortunately, he ended up in a female-centric novel.

The accompanying system repeatedly assured him that although it was a female-oriented work, the female lead was an intelligent and cool beauty, and the second female lead was a gentle, quiet, charming mountain flower.

Most importantly, he could have both the female lead and the second female lead as a life winner! There was no mention of any tasks. Fooled by the setting, Luo Yu agreed to transmigrate.

Only after transmigrating did he realize he had taken on the role of a scumbag.

He thought something was off! How could the female lead in a female-centric novel share a man with another woman? The damn system tricked him! It kept saying not to take the novel’s plot seriously, that modern moral standards shouldn’t bind him. He thought he was going to have a harem in a female-centric novel! It turns out the task was to replace a scumbag and follow the plot. If he had known, he would’ve never agreed!

Born under the red flag, he was a righteous man and couldn’t bring himself to play with people’s feelings. Even the protagonists in harem novels had genuine feelings for each girl. Playing with people’s feelings was truly scummy! What made it worse was that he had to follow the plot!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!

【Eat sh*t, you damn system!】 He cursed again to vent his frustration!

(Curse all you want. It won’t change anything! Come on, big brother, think about it. If we don’t complete the tasks, we both can’t leave. Just accept it and get on with the tasks.)

【Get lost! If you hadn’t tricked me, I wouldn’t be doing this! And how can you bring up the tasks now? You said all I had to do was follow the plot, treat the female lead badly, and be good to the second female lead, playing the role of a scumbag. But the female lead annulled the engagement right away. How am I supposed to play the role? Stop with the nonsense. I’m not buying it!】

The main character isn’t even in place, so how can the show go on? To act as a scumbag, he needs a target, right? According to the plot, he still had to marry the female lead and then mistreat her in various ways. He even had to kill the female lead’s child and family later on. Putting aside whether he could stomach doing such morally reprehensible things, all of this depended on him marrying the female lead first! As a guest and observer in this world, knowing that some things were bound to happen, Luo Yu still found some aspects deeply repulsive.

While recuperating from his injuries over those two days, he finished reading the novel. The female lead was indeed very strong. Under the constraints and oppression of feudal ethics and an unhappy marriage, she gritted her teeth and persevered. Even with the influence of feudal thoughts, she always did her best to fulfill what she believed were her responsibilities, acting decisively and wisely. Living in darkness, she still reached out to help those she could.

At first, he thought the female lead’s life with Luo Zhengyu would just be constant fighting. He wondered what the appeal of such a novel could be, but as he read further, he realized she never cared whether Luo Zhengyu had feelings for her. She disdained competing for feelings with Zhao Yuexi, who could only live by depending on men. Although the oppressive feudal society gave her goals that he didn’t see as correct, she always firmly pursued her own goals and worked hard for herself. This made her much stronger than many women oppressed by feudalism. She was a true beautiful and tragic figure from ancient times. The female lead’s character and actions were far more attractive than her beauty, which was the first thing he noticed.

Wife! She’s his wife! He declared that she was his most beloved fictional wife recently!

The thought of having to personally mistreat his wife was heartbreaking!

This task was really brutal! But he had no choice but to complete the task. He had agreed without fully understanding, and later realized backing out would come with a heavy price. After much consideration, he convinced himself that it was just a fictional world. Since he originally thought he was just going to have a harem in a book, he might as well convince himself not to take it seriously.

For now, he focused on correcting the plot. Tomorrow, he’d look into how the original Luo Zhengyu died and what he did to his wife before dying. Understanding the reasons would help him reverse the situation and reinstate the marriage, allowing the plot to continue.

Closing his eyes, Luo Yu… couldn’t sleep.

Damn! After staying up late, he couldn’t sleep now! Tossing and turning, Luo Yu got up from bed, utterly annoyed. His sleep schedule was ruined with just one late night! It was hard to deal with. He had to attend court tomorrow at the mao hour. Could he take a leave of absence?

Thinking about it made Luo Yu feel worse. The original Luo Zhengyu, despite being a scumbag, was very dedicated to his career. He never missed court unless he was bedridden. If he took a leave tomorrow, it would ruin his character!

The more he thought about it, the more he regretted not thinking it through in the first place.

【Eat sh*t, you damn system!】

(I don’t eat you.) The mechanical voice was full of human warmth.

The system wasn’t human, but it was very good at acting like a jerk. It tricked hosts like Luo Yu to get results.

This bickering had never stopped since he transmigrated into the book.

After a few moments of arguing, it was already the ugly hour.

【Damn, I really need to sleep now! Otherwise, I won’t be able to get up!】

(You said the same thing an incense stick’s time ago.)

【Shut up!】
