Chapter 1: Final MissionChapter 1
Final Mission
A sharp pain spread through Su Yueqing’s head the moment she opened her eyes, so sudden and familiar that instead of panicking, she merely closed her eyes again for a brief second and let out a tired sigh beneath her breath.
The carriage beneath her swayed lightly as its wheels rolled across the uneven stone road outside, the steady sound of horse hooves echoing through the streets together with the distant noise of drums and wedding music that floated through the thin red curtains surrounding her.
The air smelled faintly of incense and expensive perfume.
Red silk decorations hung above her head, swaying gently every time the carriage moved, while golden tassels brushed softly against the corners of the wooden interior.
Su Yueqing slowly raised a hand to press against her forehead before lowering her gaze toward herself.
Bright red wedding robes.
Heavy golden phoenix embroidery stitched across the fabric so finely that it almost shimmered beneath the light.
Long flowing sleeves.
Gold bracelets resting around her wrists.
And beside her—
A red bridal veil folded neatly against the seat.
For a moment, she simply stared at it before leaning back tiredly.
"So it’s another marriage mission..."
Her voice was calm, almost emotionless, as though she had already become numb to situations like this.
After all, this was already her tenth world.
Compared to the first few missions, she was far too experienced now to panic the moment she opened her eyes in a strange body.
Sometimes she entered worlds while drowning.
Sometimes while lying on an execution platform.
Once, she had even transmigrated halfway through falling from a cliff, and the first thing she heard after arriving was the sound of her own bones breaking.
Compared to those experiences, peacefully sitting inside a luxurious wedding carriage was honestly one of the better openings she had received.
The carriage suddenly bumped against the road again.
Su Yueqing steadied herself with one hand against the wooden seat before quietly lifting part of the curtain beside her.
The streets outside were lively.
People crowded both sides of the road watching the grand wedding procession pass through the capital, their voices filled with excitement as red lanterns swayed above the streets and servants carried countless dowry boxes behind the carriage in long organized lines.
Guards on horseback surrounded the procession carefully.
Everything about the scene screamed wealth, power, and status.
Clearly, this was not an ordinary marriage.
Before Su Yueqing could continue observing further, a familiar transparent blue screen suddenly appeared before her eyes.
Soft light flickered quietly in the air.
[Congratulations Host for Successfully Completing Mission 9.]
[Welcome to Mission 10.]
[Final Mission Activated.]
The moment Su Yueqing saw the words "final mission," her entire posture changed immediately.
The lazy look in her eyes disappeared.
Instead, she slowly sat upright.
"...The last one?"
For the first time in a very long while, her heartbeat skipped unexpectedly.
After years of moving from one world to another, dying repeatedly, acting repeatedly, pretending repeatedly—
She had finally reached the end.
The screen flickered once more.
[Would Host Like to Download Original Plot Outline?]
[YES] [NO]
Su Yueqing did not hesitate even slightly before pressing yes.
The moment her finger touched the screen, a sharp pressure exploded inside her head.
Countless memories rushed violently into her mind all at once.
The Xi family.
The powerful Duke Xi household feared throughout the capital.
The cold and ruthless future villain Xi Wenzhe.
