After Ming Li left, Qin Yu ascended the throne, becoming the first empress in history. Unexpectedly, since Qin Yu's enthronement, the Lin Kingdom enjoyed favorable weather and the people lived in peace and contentment.
With the help of the Imperial Advisor and the Regent, the Lin Kingdom grew stronger day by day, becoming the most powerful among several nations, with no one daring to invade.
Later, after the Lin Kingdom was stabilized, some old fellows became restless and began to target Qin Yu's harem, filling it with handsome men of all descriptions, ostensibly for the sake of imperial heirs.
Qin Yu looked at the ministers with ulterior motives, his mouth twitching. Although he was in a woman's body, his soul was male. He had no interest in women, let alone men, and he didn't have a preference for men...
Finally, Qin Yu was so annoyed by the constant urging of those ministers that he directly adopted a child from among the other princes. The child was raised by him and the Imperial Advisor, which finally silenced the ministers.
Qin Ruxue later tried to cause trouble, but before she could even start, she was beheaded by Lan Yi as an assassin, dying a very frustrating death.
After her death, Shui Xingbai breathed a sigh of relief, finally letting go of the anxiety that had plagued him for years.
Many years later, Qin Yu, now with a head full of white hair, stood by the window, gazing at the snowflakes falling outside, his eyes lost as if he had fallen into another world. Suddenly, a little girl dressed in red, with two small buns on her head, ran to Qin Yu's side and looked up at Qin Yu curiously. "Imperial Grandma, what are you thinking about?"
His thoughts interrupted, Qin Yu snapped back to reality. He looked down at the little girl, smiled kindly, and said, "Imperial Grandma... is thinking of a very important old friend..."

In the system space, Ming Li watched this scene through the system display screen, her mouth twitching. People become sentimental when they get old.
The system, after finishing a chicken leg, asked, "Host, are you well-rested?"
Ming Li nodded. "Next plane."
The system brought up the task panel and said, "Okay, please review the task panel first, Host."

Watching the streak of red disappear from the system space, the system felt a sense of unreality.
She just left like that?? When did the Host become so proactive with tasks?
On the other side.
After a wave of dizziness, Ming Li opened her eyes, devoid of any emotion.
Suddenly, Ming Li's eyes darkened. She shifted her footing and turned aside, perfectly evading the bullets shot at her.
Ming Li felt around her waist and found a... frying pan?!
Ming Li's mouth twitched. Without overthinking, she directly threw the frying pan in her hand towards a corner. The person in the corner was hit by the frying pan she just threw and turned into... a box?!?!
What the hell is going on?
Suddenly, a voice came from beside Ming Li's ear.
"Holy crap! Number 2 is awesome! You can even counter-kill like that?! Are you sure you're not cheating? When did frying pans do so much damage?? Aowaoao! Number 2, carry me!"
Ming Li frowned. Before she could figure out what was happening, her vision blurred for a moment. The next second, the environment around her changed.
Ming Li looked at the computer in front of her and the screen displayed on it, her expressionless. "Speak! What's the situation now?"
Hearing this calm voice, the entire system trembled. "Th-that... Host, let me explain..." Oh no! Host, let me explain!"
Ming Li narrowed her eyes and said dangerously, "...Hm, speak. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, I think... you can go die on the spot."
