She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

Chapter 251: Chapter 251: If You’re Saved from Drowning, Must You Marry? 22

[In the middle of the night, keep your voice down, don’t be so loud, it’ll ruin my novel.] Shen Xuan complained, though fortunately, it had just been written, so it wasn’t really ruined.

He felt that the tea house stories were lacking, so he wanted to write something himself and send it over, inviting Miss Lin to listen. As for the original version in his hand, he’d certainly send it to her, since she seemed interested in these things.

In ancient society, gifting books seems to be quite a safe gesture?

System: [Host, aren’t you curious about who the master is? As long as you complete the tasks diligently, you can unlock the identity of the rooftop master, and you might even recruit them under your command, as they’re a formidable general.]

The system was getting more and more excited.

Shen Xuan was speechless: [Recruit them under command, as if I’m planning a rebellion! System, you might have really bound to the wrong person, or even crossed into the wrong era. Today’s Majesty is in the prime of life, a wise and courageous person, with many policies that are not only new but also innovative. There’s truly no need to rebel; while overthrowing the rule might feel thrilling, do you know how much has to be sacrificed in the process? From my perspective, this country is still quite good and can continue to prosper, only getting better.]

Though he hadn’t learned much about it, his father was the County Magistrate, and occasionally, he could learn some things from him.

He even had a bold speculation, that today’s Majesty is like a transmigrator, some thoughts even after being changed could still be recognized by the transmigrator, sensing something amiss.

[Host, if I tell you that today’s Majesty has been poisoned long ago, and within ten years the poison will act due to some issues in the royal family, leading to great chaos across the realm, can you still lie flat?]

Oh my god!

Is this how it’s going?

Shen Xuan threw down his pen in anger.

Ah Chen, who was on the rooftop, pondered over the situation, knowing from the outset that this world wasn’t simple; it seemed there were still many more things to come.

In the memories of the previous body, indeed the lifespan of today’s Majesty wasn’t much.

[System, antidote!] Shen Xuan spoke, [What else do you know, quickly reveal it.]

System: [As long as the host works hard on tasks, more futures can be unlocked.]

Shen Xuan: [Then give me the antidote first!]

System: [Host, you must complete tasks to receive it, otherwise I can’t help you. I know these things because of a task you unintentionally completed recently. Today’s Majesty is quite dangerous at the moment and in a precarious situation; of course, everything seems fine on the surface due to some issues, even if he’s an insightful person, he can’t foresee the occurrence of this situation. Host, there’s a reincarnator, you understand? I’m not forcing you, but you have two options after completing tasks: either you overturn heaven and earth, or save the Emperor. If you don’t do tasks, the only outcome is to flee, and forget about lying flat with the girl you like. Host, you’re a businessman, you should know that to gain something, you must give something, right?]

[Alright.] Shen Xuan said solemnly, [I’ll do it.]

In the face of life and death, everything else is trivial.

There are reincarnators.

Based on the System’s meaning, the status of this reincarnator isn’t low, so to conspire against the highest ruler, the Emperor, is actually quite easy.

His face was more serious than ever; listening to this, the reincarnator in question doesn’t seem like a good person, having killed the Emperor but causing chaos. With the chaos, this County Magistrate’s son likely won’t have a good life either.

[Host, don’t be anxious. As long as you complete tasks well, you’ll unlock crucial future plot lines, and the antidote is available. The sign-in tasks are quite simple actually, right? They don’t affect you much, so don’t be too resistant.]

[If you don’t want to pursue conquest, you can save the Emperor. Given his character, he’d certainly treat you well, aren’t you worried you won’t be able to lie flat?]

[Host, trust me, you definitely won’t regret it in the future; hard-working people in our company always receive rewards.]

Shen Xuan responded with a faint ”Hmm,” deciding he couldn’t sit and wait for doom upon knowing the situation of the realm.

On the surface, he certainly wouldn’t do anything, but he wouldn’t remain indifferent to the situation as he did before.

Even if he wants to lie flat and live a leisurely life, that would require a peaceful world first.

Although he hadn’t experienced war, he had read the history of that world thoroughly.

Lin Daming pondered deeply, wondering if Shen Xuan was really pretending? With the current demeanor, he didn’t seem like a hedonistic brat at all?

If that’s the case, is it good for Chenchen and him to get entangled? He’s quite good at hiding, what if he bullies his Chenchen while pretending to be a good person? Such troubles.

Ah Chen was pondering over Shen Xuan and the Check-in System’s conversation; she had previously suspected if the world’s ruler might be a transmigrator. Now some policies being carried out may not be apparent, but they do have some traces.

For example, the Court doesn’t encourage cousin marriages; it hasn’t strictly prohibited them, it’s probably the rationale of blocking rather than constraining. They haven’t prohibited them, yet the Court has compiled data on cousin marriages resulting in pregnancy and deformed children or miscarriages, then mobilized local government offices, which indeed frightened some people.

Gradually spreading these things, they can subtly change past viewpoints.

Speaking of which, Lanru County has done quite well in this aspect; at least currently, from what she knows, cousins are not getting engaged.

In the sparse memories of the Commissioner, since this Shen Dai County Magistrate arrived, whenever the Court issues any orders, they are implemented quickly over here.

But the Commissioner was just a young girl, not too concerned about these matters, so she didn’t know much else.

This Shen County Magistrate is undoubtedly the Emperor’s confidant.

Combined with the fact that Shen County Magistrate’s entire family was killed at the Government Office, she doesn’t believe it was just simple mountain bandits seeking revenge; there might be traces of the reincarnator in it.

If it’s indeed the case, the reincarnator killing Shen Dai’s family is likely because they were close to the Emperor. Shen Xuan has a Check-in System; even without it, being a transmigrator, he might coincidentally use knowledge and bring changes to this world, after all. Thus, if they killed Shen Dai’s family, it’s quite reasonable; it’s like cutting off the Emperor’s left and right arms.

Since being the Emperor’s confidant and being stationed here for many years without being transferred, there might be other tasks arranged as well; today’s Emperor is quite insightful. Perhaps, he is indeed a transmigrator?

Moreover, Shen Xuan escaped with his life, sure enough, he will avenge his family, and when the time comes, Shen Xuan will likely confront that reincarnator.

Shen Xuan has a Check-in System; currently, the only check-in location is Lin Daming’s meat shop.

Then, could she speculate that eventually, her father and Shen Xuan might end up joining forces, and really become a formidable general under him?

One seeks to avenge the family, the other to eliminate those who harmed his daughter.

It makes sense indeed.

She glanced inside the house, noticing Shen Xuan was still writing his novel.

[It should be for me.] She said with a smile to 997, [Just wait, once it’s copied, he’ll give me the original version of the novel.]

Upon hearing this, 997 was caught off guard, feeling a bit dumbfounded by the dose of affection.
