The male supporting character was actually myself.

After staying at the county government office for a few days, Yue Hongze was taken by carriage to the Nanyi County government office in the neighboring county to wait.

When Yue Mingqi, worn down by life and slightly hunched over, walked out from the back room, the young man paused for a moment before superimposing the other's face onto the vague memories deep in his mind!

Even though the Zhou family lacked food and clothing, Yue Hongze, with his good family background, still grew tall and handsome, bearing a striking resemblance to Yue Mingqi in his youth. The reunion of father and son moved many of the yamen runners to tears; after eleven years of separation, everything had changed.

Three days later, the father and son were taken to the riverbank to wait for the emperor's arrival, and only then did they officially reunite with their daughter after many years of separation.

The father and his two sons cried and laughed, then laughed and cried again, unable to calm down for a long time.

Upon hearing that the Regent had helped the young palace maid who had inadvertently performed a great service find her father and younger brother, the Emperor, who loved to join in the fun, hurriedly issued an edict to handle the aftermath personally.

First, the Zhou family was punished for the serious crime of human trafficking, their property was confiscated, they were interrogated, tattooed, and then exiled to the frontier.

He also reprimanded Yue Mingqi's younger brother, Yue Mingli, for disregarding the life and death of his own niece, and for not only coveting the money left by his father but also using the money from selling himself into slavery to make a fortune. He ordered that the family property be confiscated immediately and sentenced Yue and his wife to forty strokes of the cane each.

As for the farming family that bought Yue Hongying as a waitress, they have been displaced and disappeared due to the flood. They will be punished for now, and will be punished for the serious crime of buying and selling people if they reappear.

Finally, still not satisfied, the emperor asked for their opinions and issued an imperial edict to bestow marriage upon Jiang Chen and Yue Hongying, with the wedding date set for August 28th, which was personally calculated by the imperial advisor.

Two months after returning from accompanying the emperor on his tour, Jiang Chen married Yue Hongying as his princess.

In the third month, Shen Qingluan gave birth to a son, and the news that both mother and child were safe was immediately transmitted to Shangguan Xuanyu through the intelligence network.

The little white cat ran back, attended a wedding banquet and a full-moon celebration, and brought back a lot of good news.

After returning to the capital, Shangguan Xuanyu established himself as a strategist and won the favor of the Second Prince and the Ninth Prince.

Meanwhile, General Mu Deshu secretly dispatched his trusted confidants to contact upright young officials who had previously been on good terms with the Shangguan government, and recruited a group of talented young people from non-factions who were eager to serve the country but had no way to advance.

With the strong support of Jiang Chen and Xiaobaimao, Shangguan Xuanyu used his ample network of informants and intelligence to orchestrate the murder of the Minister of Personnel's son. He used the exposure to switch the death row inmates and bring down the Minister of Personnel. Meanwhile, the Second Prince followed Jian Songnan's advice and confronted Huang Xiuqi in court to promote promising young people.

Then, the case of the corpse hidden in the ancient well from many years ago was "accidentally" exposed. The news was secretly spread and public opinion was used to force Huang Xiuqi, who was in charge of power, to reluctantly give up two high-ranking officials. In the process, the Ninth Prince's subordinates were also brought down.

By the end of the year, the illegal fireworks factory sparked widespread public resentment, and the Second Prince was suppressed. Subsequently, Shangguan Xuanyu received intelligence from the White Cat and used Huang Xiuqi to suppress the Ninth Prince. Grandmaster Xia Shanhu, the Ninth Prince's maternal uncle and Tiger Guard General, returned to oversee the situation. General Mu Deshu of Nanmu took the opportunity to gradually conquer and annex the territory owned by the Tiger Guard...

The New Year's Eve murder case, the disaster relief case, Huang Xiuqi's birthday banquet, the old canal transport case, etc., all have Jiang Chen's secret planning and the shadow of the little white cat under Shangguan Xuanyu's hands that secretly stir up trouble.

In less than three years, the sixth prince was kicked out of the game.

Shangguan Xuanyu was interrogated alone in the imperial prison and learned the truth about his mother's death. During his tenure, his father had been ordered to hunt down notorious bandits and eliminate powerful martial arts forces that threatened the imperial power, which had caused him a deep grudge. After joining the Sixth Prince, he learned that Shangguan Yuntao was dead, and this rabble seized the opportunity to carry out a brutal massacre.

Shangguan Xuanyu's mother was strangled to death by the so-called leader of the martial arts alliance, and the suicide note was forged by the sixth prince in order to absolve himself of any involvement and was placed in the hall to try to confuse the public.

Ultimately, the sixth prince hanged himself in the imperial prison; the leader of the martial arts alliance under his command also hanged himself.

Shortly thereafter, Grandmaster Xia Shanhu died mysteriously in the General's Mansion. The Ninth Prince, who had lost his Tiger Guard and was no longer able to help, was also kicked out of the game. He disguised himself and fled the capital overnight. He was escorted to trial by a boatman arranged by Shangguan Xuanyu. In the end, Huang Xiuqi ordered him to be beheaded and his head displayed to the public.

After General Nanmu annexed the Tiger Guard, he occupied half of the country. Mu Deshu led his soldiers to fight on the front lines for control of the Eagle Guard. Meanwhile, A San led a group of progressive young people to emulate the management philosophy of the regent of the Southern Qi Kingdom, pacifying the people, distributing land for them to recuperate, and striving to create a peaceful and prosperous environment for the people who had suffered from war and strife.

Attracted by the policies of the Southern Mu army, many people flocked to the vast land that needed to be rebuilt after the war to cultivate and live. Jiang Chen secretly provided gold and silver to ensure the stability of the rear, laying a solid foundation for Shangguan Xuanyu's future ascension to the throne.

The common people born in chaotic times have simple demands. They don't care whether the ruler's surname is Li or Zhang; they just want land to cultivate, food to eat, and a peaceful life. Since someone can protect them in times of chaos, why not support them as emperor?

The Second Prince, who set fire to Shangguan’s mansion in an attempt to escalate the situation and force Huang Xiuqi to cover it up, lost power and died after drinking a cup of poisoned wine.

The Crown Prince's health had been deteriorating since his injury. When Huang Xiuqi noticed that Mu Deshu's momentum was growing stronger, he simply tore off the last fig leaf and placed the Crown Prince under house arrest in the palace, while he himself sat on the dragon throne.

By the time Shangguan Xuanyu led his army into the palace to capture Huang Xiuqi and Huang Qianqian, he had already died in a nailed room, freezing and starving, leaving behind only a few words in his suicide note.

Huang Xiuqi and his daughter were thrown into the dungeon, and the evil deeds they committed together in secret were too numerous to count.

With Mu Deshu's strong support, Shangguan Xuanyu abolished the old dynasty and established a new empire. After ascending the throne, he first buried his parents' bodies together, then ordered the Huang family father and daughter to be executed and their bones crushed and scattered to the winds to avenge his father's death!

In 211 AD, the Southern Qi Dynasty ended the reign of the Li clan in Yong'an. Shangguan Xuanyu ascended the throne, changed the country's name to Qingyuan, and after the coronation ceremony, welcomed Empress Shen and her eldest son, Shangguan Hao, back to the palace to manage many affairs of the six palaces.

Thirty years later, Shangguan Xuanyu abdicated, and Crown Prince Shangguan Hao ascended the throne as the new emperor;

The Southern Qi and Qingyuan kingdoms had been on friendly terms for many years, helping each other along the way. Until Jiang Chen died at the age of eighty-two in the mission world, he was the powerful and influential Nine Thousand Years Old, a position that even the new emperor had to respect.

May the country be prosperous and the people at peace, just as we have always wished.

Even as the progress bar reached its final stage, the script in the fluffy dumpling's hand remained unchanged, probably because she had completely given up and was too lazy to even write her usual line.

"My time has come, it's time for me to go." The elderly Jiang Chen lay on his bed, uttering his last words before closing his eyes and breathing his last. Darkness enveloped him, and fragments of his soul, along with the little white cat, soared into the higher, farther void…

Chapter One, *snap*, gone!

"Huh? What's going on, host?" As soon as he returned to the script selection space, the little white cat perched on his shoulder, peeking around with its head full of question marks.

Jiang Chen twitched his lips, looking helpless. "Bai, which of us is the auxiliary system again?"

The fluffy little ball lowered its head in shame and meowed, "Host, please wait a moment, I'll report to the main system right away!"

He looked around and found the space, which used to be filled with various book covers and scripts, was now completely empty.

Has the main system crashed?

Or perhaps they're plotting something out of nowhere?

"Meow~" The little white cat tilted its head, stared blankly for a moment, then shrank its neck and chuckled, "Host, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Without thinking, Jiang Chen said, "Bad news."

"The bad news is that we had too much fun with the last script, and the plot went so far as to make the script team scratch their heads and still not know how to write it, so we got a complaint again."

"There's good news after being complained about?" He raised an eyebrow, looking bewildered. "Then why didn't I receive any review notifications in the mission world?"

The fluffy little dumpling scratched its ear with its hind foot, a hint of smugness in its expression. "Hmm, the script team probably learned their lesson last time, and they're afraid of being punished by the main system again since it's our team. So this complaint is a little different from the last one, hehehe..."

"Host, let me read you the original text!"

"After a unanimous vote by the entire script team, it was determined that Host No. 89757 executes tasks quickly and accurately, but this does not match the overall atmosphere of the mission world. Currently, there is a severe shortage of staff, making it impossible to provide Host No. 89757 with a high-quality script. Therefore, a joint appeal is filed requesting a temporary halt to the release of missions."

"We will assign tasks only after we have created a high-quality script that matches the host's abilities."

Jiang Chen: ...

So the scriptwriting team is just avoiding me because they can't mess with them, and they won't let me use the script they've already written?

"What do we do then? Are we just going to sit here and wait?"

The little white cat grinned mischievously, "That won't do! Each host's time is limited. What if the script team deliberately withholds the script from us? Are we just supposed to wait here and die? My soft and adorable little kitten would never agree to that!"

Of course, the main system disagreed as well.

However, the scriptwriting team was determined not to let us ruin the scripts they had worked so hard to create, so the relevant departments mediated urgently and ultimately chose a compromise. "We won't be assigned scripts that are 100% complete anymore; from now on, the scripts we're assigned might not even be complete..."

He understood now. "I get it. It means those unfinished projects, abandoned projects, projects that were written badly and couldn't be saved, and even projects that weren't even started and only had an outline, are just thrown to us to use, right?"

So it's just a waste disposal station?

Picking scripts from a garbage dump might result in a bunch of Frankenstein's monsters; I can't speak for everything else, but the quality is definitely going to be mediocre.

Little white cat: (=ω=；)

Damn! Host's analysis and description are so accurate! Isn't this just a bunch of unwritten garbage thrown over here?

"I'm sorry, I thought this was a good thing just now, and I was even a little smug. Now I understand. I'm going to report this to the main system. We can't let the script team bully us like this!"

Jiang Chen stopped it and asked, "Are there any specific requirements for entering this flawed script? After all, it's not completely finished yet, so the main system can't just issue all sorts of tasks, can it?"

"Meow~ The main system made this very clear: we are working together to build a richer script. As long as we don't let the mission world get out of control and collapse, and allow it to develop smoothly according to free logic, the mission will be considered a success and we'll get a medal."

Some scripts are quite complete and may issue tasks that you just need to follow the instructions to complete.

As for the rest... oh right, the main system has distributed the rewards promised from the previous mission world.

The fluffy little dumpling scratched its round belly and took out a shower head, which only had one shower head and no lower part.

Jiang Chen frowned and glanced at it. "A showerhead? Is this all you get?"

"An automatic shower head with a switch!"

The little white cat earnestly corrected, "Look, this is how it works. No matter where the host is, just take it out and turn on the button to get water! Both hot and cold water are adjustable, so there's no waiting time. Even in the Sahara Desert, you can take a comfortable cold shower anytime!"

Also, the water quality has passed the main system standard certification and is perfectly safe to drink.

It's quite practical! It's like carrying a portable, safe water source. I can hold it for you to take a shower when you need it, which is very convenient! And you don't even need to boil water; just turn it to the highest temperature and you can make tea directly!

Jiang Chen: ╮(─▽─)╭

Well, something is better than nothing.

"As long as we don't mess up the mission world, right?" He thought for a moment and felt that being exiled might be more liberating, so he wouldn't be constantly tied down by the rules and regulations of missions. "Let's try one first, and if we're not happy with it, we can complain and demand equal treatment."

"Alright!" Upon hearing this, the little white cat clapped its paws, and rows of scripts appeared quietly floating in the space.

Some were very thick, some were very thin, and some didn't even have a cover. Compared to previous scripts, they were indeed a bit shabby.

"This one will do." He picked up the thinnest one at random, only to find that it was pitifully thin when he held it. Even if it was just an outline, it was probably only half-finished.

The cover is quite exquisite, with intricate and complex borders drawn in the four corners. The background is dark in color, with the shadow of a huge monster vaguely hidden in it. In the center is a luxurious and exquisite but already mottled throne.

"Let me see what's written in here?" The little white cat curiously poked its head over to take a closer look.

This is a story about heroes protecting the world.

The protagonist, Li Moran, is a hero who silently protects humanity. When darkness and monsters descend upon the world, he does his best to kill them and protect humanity, earning him the respect of a living saint. However, after the monsters are defeated and the world is restored to peace and prosperity, Li Moran is abandoned by the times and judged by his teammates who have saved his life many times.

Disheartened, Li Moran decided to retire and used his privileges for the first time to abandon his guardian identity and live in seclusion.

But when the supernatural broke free of its shackles and wreaked havoc on humanity once more, he once again stepped forward to silently protect world peace. In the process of fighting the supernatural, he fully realized his mission—a hero exists to protect his beliefs and to safeguard the human race, nothing more...

"That's it? As expected, even the outline is incomplete." Jiang Chen sneered, "Being a hero means selfless dedication? Can't you make any demands? You're not even as successful as me. At least my appearance fee is the highest and I can't pay on credit."

"Meow meow meow?" The fluffy ball looked confused. "What appearance fee? Was the host a big star in his previous life? Wow, so handsome, I love him!"

He didn't respond, but instead flipped through the script several times, asking in confusion, "The outline isn't even finished, so what about me? Where are my scenes?"

I have objections to Chapter Two

"The main character's background wasn't even finished, so there's definitely no time to write the supporting characters' backgrounds."

The little white cat waved its paw, and several character images appeared on the large screen in front of it. "Currently, there are several to choose from: the chief judge, who holds a high position and opposes the protagonist at every turn, trying to kill him. When the strange event occurred, he was burned alive by the angry crowd."

The Red Gloves Captain, an executor, is a married man with a beloved wife and two adorable children. He often helps the protagonist after he retires. After the bizarre outbreak, he rushes to the front line and fights alongside the protagonist, ultimately dying in battle.

The tavern owner, a strange and vicious-looking man with a kind heart and a mysterious background, has a good relationship with the protagonist after his retirement and provides him with a lot of help. After the strange outbreak, in order to appease the angry people, the executors capture him as a sacrifice before the battle.

The executor, a clerical worker, was a superhuman who had only awakened the most basic abilities. Entrusted by Captain Red Gloves, he frequently relayed information to the protagonist, gradually becoming acquainted with him. After the bizarre outbreak, he was moved by the protagonist's righteousness and resolutely abandoned his studies to join the army. However, due to insufficient strength, he took a fatal blow for the protagonist and died...

One by one, the images of various characters flashed across the big screen.

Jiang Chen looked at the judge, whose gaze was cold and whose appearance was cunning, shook his head and waved his hand to indicate that he did not want to.
