After Nangong Jin was rewarded by the emperor that time, he fell silent. His brothers, however, were constantly making small moves for the throne.
After all, the emperor's health was deteriorating rapidly and he was close to death.
In the original plot, it was during this period that the Beili Kingdom proposed a marriage alliance.
It was at this moment that the female lead, Su Ziyuan, was bestowed the title of Princess Yi'an and traveled thousands of miles to the Da'an Kingdom for the marriage alliance.
She eventually married Nangong Jin and became his consort.
Later, Nangong Jin overthrew his unruly brothers and successfully ascended the throne. His brothers, even when united, could not defeat the male protagonist.
As expected, his strength demonstrated what it meant to say that as long as his halo was bright enough, you couldn't defeat him even if you outnumbered him.
One day, Ming Li felt bored in the manor and decided to go for a stroll along Zhuque Street alone.
Ming Li walked along the bustling street, watching the ebb and flow of people.
The system, curious, peeked around from within the system space, growing increasingly excited.
"Wow! Host, what is that?"
"Host, host! What's that over there?"
"Host, look, look! What are they doing over there?"
Ming Li:
She directly and roughly pulled the system out of the space.
System: ?! For a moment, it was stunned. As soon as it came to its senses, it shrieked nervously, "Ahhh! Host, don't abandon your system! Your system is very obedient! Your system will never speak carelessly again!"
Ming Li:
She cast a disdainful glance at the nervous system. "Alright, I'm not abandoning you."
System:
It checked its connection with the host and, seeing that the binding had not been undone, breathed a sigh of relief.
The system asked timidly, "Um, Host, is there something you need by letting the system out?"
"Don't you want to go play?"
The system was overjoyed. "Really? Host, can I really go play freely?"
Ming Li nodded, agreeing.
Seeing Ming Li's agreement, the system happily floated out, peeking at this stall for a while, then at that stall.
Before long, the floating system cautiously drifted back. "Um, esteemed Host, could you buy something for me?"
Ming Li: She quietly watched the system.
Just as the system thought its esteemed host wouldn't agree to its unreasonable request, it saw its esteemed host, with a cold expression, nod.
System: So happy! It turns out its esteemed host still dotes on it quite a bit!
Then the system began its shopping spree. It saw this and thought it was fun, wanting it. That looked good, wanting it. This it had never seen before, wanting it.
Ming Li looked at the increasingly messy pile of things she was holding.
Ming Li: She found a secluded spot and threw everything into the space.
The system was still floating around the street like a wandering spirit. Fortunately, no one else could see it, otherwise, they would have been terrified.
Just as Ming Li was walking towards the system, she acutely sensed a gaze gradually fixated on her.
Ming Li looked in one direction and saw the male protagonist of this world, Nangong Jin, sitting by a window in a teahouse.
At this moment, Nangong Jin was staring intently at her.
Ming Li raised an eyebrow. What was going on with this male protagonist? Why wasn't he watching the female lead and instead looking at her?
Ming Li withdrew her gaze and walked towards the system. She saw that the system was currently fixated on a rattle drum at a stall.
Ming Li: ?!
