Empress in her second playthrough: "This time, I will take back everything that is rightfully mine!"

however.

As she held the script, waiting for Li Yunsheng to enter the game, she discovered—something was wrong with the plot!

Chapter 1 Prime Minister, get up and drink your medicine.

The Great Chu Dynasty.

The capital city, the Li residence.

"Prime Minister, it's time to get up and take your medicine."

A voice called out to Li Yunsheng, and a jumble of chaotic memories swirled in his mind.

As fragments of memories merged, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ancient room.

"No way... I've actually transmigrated into the world of a book!"

It's not someone else's book, but one I wrote myself.

That's right, he's an online novelist who wrote a female-centric novel set in an alternate history.

However, he overestimated his abilities, and his results were dismal.

Daily work report: 0 donations, 0 monthly tickets, 0 recommendation tickets, 0 favorites.

Therefore, he plans to forcefully end the story.

But to my surprise, just after I clicked to complete the application, the computer screen suddenly started shaking.

And that's how it ended up like this: the book wasn't finished, but I ended it myself.

Even after reading so many time-travel novels, he was still deeply shocked when he actually experienced it himself.

I didn't encounter any thunderstorms or large trucks when I went out, so how did I end up traveling through time?

After a helpless sigh, he began to immerse himself in his new identity.

Li Yunsheng is the youngest top scholar in the Great Chu Dynasty, a peerless gentleman.

Now, here's some good news and some bad news.

Good news! My current position is that of a regent minister, second only to the emperor.

The bad news is that he is the villain in the book and will eventually be trampled underfoot by the Empress.

Ding!

[The ultimate, invincible emotion system is now available!]

A mechanical voice echoed in his mind, and a glint of light flashed in Li Yunsheng's eyes.

Goldfinger?

[Function: Can be linked to a character; each time the linked character experiences an emotional change, you will receive an emotion point reward!]

【Important Notes:】

1. Once a character is bound, it cannot be changed!

2. The higher the status of the bound character, the higher the emotional value will be.

3. Emotional points can be used in the shop and for lotteries.

[Please select the character to bind: Su Wanwan, Emperor of Northern Qi, Empress of Great Chu, Liu Quan]

Li Yunsheng exclaimed, "Good heavens! It's a multiple-choice question!" These were the four characters who appeared in the first chapter of his book.

Su Wanwan was the most famous courtesan in the capital, so that can be ruled out first.

Although they are easy to control, their status is not high enough.

The Northern Qi emperor was powerful enough, but he was the mortal enemy of the Great Chu, and as a Chu subject, it was difficult for him to influence the emperor's emotions.

The Empress of Great Chu not only held a high position, but was also relatively easy to control.

As the author, I have the script in my hands and can easily control her.

More importantly, the Empress is the female protagonist of the book, embodying his yearning for the beauty of the opposite sex, as well as some of his own little quirks.

It can be said that he created a white moonlight.

For him, tying himself to the Empress was the most suitable option.

Thinking about it carefully, it's quite exciting to bully the female lead.

You can also gain emotional points at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

As for Liu Quan, he was Li Yunsheng's steward.

[The Empress of Great Chu has been successfully bound!]

[Talent skill unlocked!]

The system interface then changed:

Name: Li Yunsheng

Physical condition: Not long to live

Mood score:

Remaining lifespan: 365 days

Other features: Lottery, Online Store

what!

Li Yunsheng's eyes widened suddenly. He was so young, and he only had a year left to live?

I thought being transmigrated into a villain was the worst news yet, but there was even worse news to come.

There was one thing he didn't understand: usually, it was only when the original owner of the body died that someone would transmigrate.

But according to the system, this body only has one year of life left. How did I manage to survive?

Li Yunsheng quickly sat up, deciding to first figure out his current situation.

This startled Liu Quan, who was guarding the bedside, mainly because the Prime Minister had just been sickly.

Suddenly he became energetic, and soon his eyes widened and his face became rosy. It looked like a final burst of energy before death.

"Prime Minister, it's time to take your medicine."

Li Yunsheng looked at Liu Quan, and he finally understood what the so-called innate skills meant.

After using his innate skill, he can sense the emotions of others.

For example, he can now sense Liu Quan when he uses his innate skill—

[Surprise, worry...]

Li Yunsheng took the medicine bowl. He occasionally felt cold and had been taking care of himself recently, so he still had to take the medicine.

He held his breath as he smelled the aroma of Chinese medicine.

grunt.

After taking a bite, his brows furrowed, as if he were wearing a mask of pain.

Although traditional Chinese medicine has far fewer side effects than Western medicine, it is indeed very bitter.

puff--

Just as he was forcing himself to swallow the bitterness and taking his second sip...

He couldn't catch his breath and spat out all the medicine in his mouth.

Because the remaining lifespan on the system was reduced by one day.

He was startled; his first thought was that the medicine was poisonous.

Each dose of medicine reduces one's lifespan by one day; if one drinks them all, one will live four or five days less.

Li Yunsheng stared at the remaining medicine in the bowl with suspicion and uncertainty. This medicine should be a slow-acting poison.

Even if you drink the whole bowl of medicine, you won't die immediately.

In just a moment, his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

In his book, Li Yunsheng was merely frail and sickly, and there was no poisoning involved.

But things changed after I transmigrated here.

This matter was outside the plot he was in control of, so he had to find the answer himself.

The first people who could access this bowl of medicine were the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau, because the prescription was written by them.

However, the possibility of it being an imperial physician is relatively small.

Because if he were to seek treatment from another doctor, the imperial physician's prescription would be useless.

Next up are the people in the household responsible for dispensing and decocting the medicine.

No matter what the prescription is, if the medicine is tampered with when it is dispensed, or if something is added to it when it is decocted, it can become poison.

Li Yunsheng beckoned with his finger, signaling Liu Quan to step forward.

Liu Quan hurriedly handed over a towel.

"Prime Minister, are you alright?"

"Who prepared this medicine?"
