Transmigrated into the love rival of a powerful and arrogant protagonist, forced into a daily love t

Inside the tranquil yet eerily mysterious main hall.

Blue candles and array flags covered with black runes were arranged in a circle around the ice coffin, and strange incense was also burning around it.

The dignified woman lying in the ice coffin was none other than the legendary ninety-ninth Holy Emperor of Sifang City.

They took Sheng as their surname and Huang as their given name.

However, unlike the day she was born three hundred years ago, when the True Phoenix descended upon the tallest building in the capital and cried out for her for nine days and nine nights.

now.

After three hundred years of conquest and widespread fame, His Majesty the Phoenix, who wished to distribute resources to the people and ensure their well-being, now lies in a peaceful slumber.

Eyes closed, silence, but the sound of breathing can still be heard...

Sheng Huang possessed the dignified and classical beauty of a woman. Although she had her eyes closed and had been asleep for five years, she remained noble and beautiful, with snow-white skin and vibrant lips.

Unfortunately, he is not like His Majesty who almost unified the world five years ago...

She slept for five years.

Over the past five years, the suppression from the other three domains has severely impacted the Four Domains.

Fortunately, in these five years, the people of the Four Directions Domain have welcomed a second truly sincere guardian.

That is the current Prime Minister, Shangguan Yi.

Born an ordinary woman, she has worked her way up to this high position.

He commanded countless powerful warriors and ruled over a region.

now.

Around the ice coffin.

Two figures suddenly stood to the side.

Naturally, it was Shangguan Yi and Li Changdu.

Li Changdu was once a personal guard raised by the Emperor Shenghuang, but now he has become the sharpest blade of the sleeping emperor.

Where is Shangguan Yi?

Beside the ice coffin.

Li Changdu glanced ahead and saw the seemingly cunning Prime Minister, his eyes red-rimmed, burying his face in the hands of the noble Emperor in a sickly manner.

Li Changdu sighed softly, "Everyone says that if the Prime Minister had been born five years earlier, the Four Regions would have witnessed a scene of a restorer of the dynasty and a capable minister working together. Little do they know, you have already met..."

The female swordswoman sighed.

That's right.

According to rumors in the Four Directions.

The current guardian of the Four Realms, the loyal and exceptionally talented Prime Minister, has never met His Majesty.

After all, five years ago, when Sheng Huang was asleep, Shangguan Yi was still struggling in a remote county.

Little did they know, the two were already entangled in an endless web of connections...

Ten years ago.

A rebellion broke out in the eastern part of the Four Directions Domain. The fleeing vassal king colluded with local demons who ruled the mountains and seized control of the area.

The entire eastern region was transformed into a living hell.

The rebellious prince at the time was Sheng Fei, the younger brother of Sheng Huang.

But this younger brother has hated his older sister since childhood.

Why did the true phoenix descend from heaven to celebrate Sheng Huang's birth?

Why did the entire country erupt in celebration at the birth of Sheng Huang?

Why were the royal family and the emperor so excited when Sheng Huang was born that they made her the crown princess?

He, Sheng Fei, was not convinced!

Sheng Fei's talent is not bad, but compared to Sheng Huang, he is still far inferior.

After cultivating for over two hundred years, he is still only at the Void Refinement stage.

At last.

In order to seize the Four Directions Domain and become the new Holy Emperor of the Four Directions, Sheng Fei secretly colluded with the demons in the east.

Both sides reached a consensus.

The demons helped Sheng Fei seize the throne of the Holy Emperor, and in return, Sheng Fei offered all the mortals in the east to the demons as food...

This is the end.

The eastern part of the Four Directions Domain has fallen into its darkest hour.

Countless demons poured into the villages, counties, and cities in the east, slaughtering countless people.

At that time, natural disasters were frequent.

People couldn't survive, so they resorted to cannibalism, or sent their children away and abandoned them...

Shangguan Yi was the one who was abandoned.

At that time, Shangguan Yi was thirteen years old...

Thirteen-year-old mortal Shangguan Yi was constantly on the run from the demons of the east, living a precarious and displaced life.

However, Shangguan Yi's resolve remained unwavering.

Abandoned by family? Demonic turmoil?

The last resort is to leave temporarily and escape from this battlefield.

While evading the pursuit of demons, the thirteen-year-old girl traveled from the eastern core towards the imperial capital of the Four Directions Domain.

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

One day.

A group of demons broke into the village where Shangguan Yi was temporarily staying and began a massacre.

At the time, Shangguan Yi was just an unarmed young girl, but she still picked up a sword.

As the demons pounced upon them.

Her mind was filled with resentment.

She doesn't want to die!

She doesn't want to die!

She still has many things to do.

She felt that she could rise to a higher position, and given the right opportunity, she might even be able to save the world.

Even as a child, Shangguan Yi displayed precocious intelligence.

After witnessing the war-torn east where people resorted to cannibalism and were displaced, I realized that...

She didn't believe anyone would save her.

She only trusts herself.

Unfortunately, before she could escape hell, it all came to an end...

Inside the village.

War raged, and cries of agony filled the air.

A tiger-shaped demon bared its blood-stained fangs and pounced on Shangguan Yi.

What was the thirteen-year-old girl thinking at that time?

Am I going to die?

Indeed, there is no savior in the world.

Her family, who had promised to stay with her forever, abandoned her because they couldn't bear the disaster...

The prefect who had promised to protect the people of Donghuang County also laid down his armor and fled during the most critical moment of defending the city...

It seems there is no savior in this world...

On his deathbed.

The girl vaguely remembered something.

This happened before the chaos began, when the people were still living in peace and happiness.

Back then, Donghuang County would always hold a festival.

That festival was called the Festival of Prayer to the Gods.

The people of Donghuang County believe that gods exist in the world.

As long as one is respectful and offers incense, celestial beings and deities will descend to save people from suffering...

At that time.

Even as a child, Shangguan Yi would clasp his hands together and pray devoutly.

But Shangguan Yi did not believe in gods.

She only believes what her own eyes can see...

She is rational.

I believe the strong will prevail over the weak.

But today, on my deathbed.

But then she remembered how she looked during the prayer festival...

As the tiger demon lowered its claws, Shangguan Yi was completely exhausted.

During her struggle, her arm was scraped open, revealing the white bone, and her body was ripped open by the demon's sharp claws, from which bright red blood gushed out.

She's dying...

Since we're going to die anyway, why not... believe in the gods just this once?

Hehe, it must be fake...

It won't happen...

The girl, her bloodstained lips curving into a smile, pondered her impending death...

But suddenly.

Just as the tiger demon lowered its blood-red maw, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

Then came the clanging sound of a sword beam slicing through flesh...

The tiger demon, which had been pouncing on her and about to strike, suddenly stopped roaring.

Because the other party was split in two...

Thirteen-year-old Shangguan Yi was stunned.

The tiger demon's scalding blood fell on the girl, making her look even more disheveled.

The scalding beast blood obscured Shangguan Yi's eyes, making it difficult for her to open them for a moment.

But she was curious...

Who exactly is it?

Who slew the tiger demon with a single sword strike?

Who was born when she prayed to the gods?

Following the direction of the tiger demon that had been split in two.

The girl forced her eyes open amidst a pool of blood, and the first thing she saw was a large, warm, snow-white hand.

And there is still the gentle voice that lingers in the ears of the young prime minister.

"I have arrived..."
