Chapter 42 – Does President Xi Have this Much Free Time?

The Spring and Autumn Hall’s style was still solemn and indifferent like before. It was like a person assuming a world-weary face and casually tossing a picture over in response to the netizen’s insults.

The picture depicted a wall with a slogan on it, and the slogan said: Mistakes may not necessarily be hated forever, and at the present I am determined to be a new person*.

[*T/N: 新人 – The word used for “a new person” can also mean “newcomer” or “fresh talent.” It could be describing Duan Shu Tong as a newcomer or a fresh talent to the skincare scene, or it could just be a picture to troll the Internet haters.]

Huh? What was the meaning of this?

Were they playing the “a prodigal son returned home is worth more than gold” card in order to get some sympathy points?

Feng Ran regarded this with disdain, and thought that it was better not to say anything.

She flipped through the comments.

Most of the comments were just name-calling, a portion of it was discussing the content of the picture, and only a small part of the audience responded with: hahahahaha.

What’s so funny?

Finally, one of the netizen’s revealed the truth: Oh my god, the Spring and Autumn Hall is really naughty. Isn’t this a slogan from inside prison? Hahahaha, it is really good to make fun of one self like this? After all, Young Master Duan was only punished for driving while intoxicated, and didn’t actually go to jail.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Feng Ran checked the Internet. Turns out what that netizen said were the truth.

When she returned back to the comments area, the style of the comments have already changed, more and more people were posting prison slogans underneath [the picture]. It was very much like a large-scale legal system education column.

“A prodigal son returns to repent past mistakes, turning over a new leaf in the nick of time, and becoming reborn anew.”

“A prodigal son returned home is worth more than gold. Rebuilding his dreams to win in [life in] the future.”

“Actively transform and contribute to society.”

“Reform sincerely to grab hold of the future.”

The corners of Feng Ran’s mouth twitched. The staff member behind this naughty post was really talented [in social media]!

After this incident, the netizens found it boring to keep cursing [at Duan Shu Tong].

This slogan was right. Even prisoners could be rehabilitated after they were released from prison, so why couldn’t Young Master Duan do the same, after all, he didn’t commit some bloody atrocity that offended the heavens and human reason, right?

Moreover, Young Master Duan could talk the talk and walk the walk. He really did reform and was contributing to society.

Countless women have regained their confidence after using Spring Flower No. 1.

What if Young Master Duan choose to quit again after they scolded him too harshly? Not all girls have pigment spots. Since Young Master Duan could develop a product that lightened pigment spots, maybe he could also develop products for other situations.

Seeing the gradual change in the way things were developing, the director of the propaganda department ordered the staff under him to use a different account to forward two pictures to the Spring and Autumn Hall’s official blog, and to add the text:

“From luxury cars to bicycle, the return of a prodigal son really can’t be bought for one thousand in gold.”

This account posted frequently, and it imitated the style of a lady who loved skincare, so it would not make people suspicious.

After seeing the two pictures, netizens turned directly into screaming chickens.

Feng Ran clicked on the post, and also could not help holding up a hand to her chest [in surprise].

The first picture was of the former Young Master Duan standing next to a big red sports car with a head of bleached hair. He oozed flirtatiousness, which dragged down his attractiveness index by a lot.

The second picture was of a handsome young man sitting on a bicycle. He held the bicycle handles with both hands and he had one foot propped on the ground. In the picture it looked like he had heard someone calling him, and his head was turned slightly. His peach blossom eyes were gentle and gorgeous against the sunset clouds in the horizon.

Feng Ran felt like she was struck in the heart.

The young man in the second photo was really her type!

It was not just Feng Ran. Many other netizens were also fascinated by the cyclist, and they all sighed with emotion, saying that Young Master Duan really has “changed beyond recognition” since the drunk driving incident.

Why must they use such fierce remarks against such a handsome and picturesque young man?

No matter how much Clear Sky Has Eyes tried to use “justice” to refute, no one would listen to him anymore.

Netizens expressed: Young Master Duan has mended his ways, so why are you still excoriating him so harshly?

Clear Sky Has Eyes was so stimulated that he shouted: The heavens are blind!

Feng Ran, who has been eating melon seeds until now*, only felt speechless. She decided not to pay attention to this person anymore. Isn’t it better to spread and share Spring Flower No. 1?

[*T/N: eating melon seeds – metaphor for watching from the sidelines]

The farce on the Internet died out just like that. After a wave of disputes, Duan Shu Tong’s previous incident could finally be turned over. No one would make gimmicks about “drunk driving” in the future.

Translations by Vanilla Muse.

However, Clear Sky Has Eyes uploaded a new post immediately afterwards. He posted a resume (a.k.a. curriculum vitae) and used a skeptical tone of voice to write an article: “The current director of the R&D department of the Spring and Autumn Hall has been in business for ten years. He was originally an outstanding student from a certain university. After graduation, he worked in many related companies. But he did not stay in any of them for long. Why don’t you guys take a guess at the reason?”

Seeing that He Run’s personal experience was about to be exposed, Duan Shu Tong felt that he could not continue to sit back and watch. He lowered his eyebrows and was just about to put a leash on this persistent Clear Sky Has Eyes when he received a call from Xi Duan.

“The identity of Clear Sky Has Eyes has been found. It’s someone from Ya Lan.”

Duan Shu Tong: ??? Does President Xi have this much free time?

T/N: Happy April Fools’ Day! XD

Here’s the real chapter. Enjoy!

Back to the April Fools Page

Chapter 14.6

Xue Zi Xuan picked up his cell phone and got up slowly. Xue Li Dan Ni and Xue Jing Yi crawled to a position far away from the two of them and watched silently. They didn’t want to go to jail, so they had to get this memory card by all means.

“Do you think that Xiao Yi only has this one memory card? You think he only sent it to me alone? Xue Rui, when did you become so naïve?” Xue Zi Xuan chuckled lowly and continued to dial the number on his phone without any regard to the threat aimed at him.

Xue Rui’s expression was malevolent. Of course he knew that Huang Yi has more than this memory card. He had collected so much evidence of their crimes and yet he did not report it to the police. Instead, he went missing. Wasn’t it all just for money? Didn’t he send the card to the Xue family just to shock them? Xue Rui was sure that within a few hours Huang Yi would call back to blackmail them for a lot of money.

When the time came, Xue Rui could deal with Huang Yi slowly. He would hire people to cut the weed and pull out its roots, eliminating Huang Yi completely.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

He had originally intended to let Huang Yi die comfortably, but that boy just had to choose a life of living hell. So what could Xue Rui do? In this world, there were simply too many people who did not know what was good for them!

But the biggest problem now was how to stop this stubborn, one-tracked mind son of his.

Xue Rui pushed the barrel of the gun against his son’s temple and said sharply, “Put down the phone and give me the memory card!”

Xue Zi Xuan heard him, but deliberately ignored him. The number had already been dialed. He opened his mouth to speak, but then he heard a “click” sound. It turned out that Xue Rui had actually pulled the trigger in panic.

Xue Li Dan Ni and Xue Jing Yi screamed, only to realize that there were no bullets in the gun, and they immediately collapsed onto the floor in a heap. Xue Rui was also paralyzed. Just then, it was like he had been possessed. If there had been bullets in the gun, then he would be a murderer. He would have killed his son with his own hands.

Xue Zi Xuan already knew that there were no bullets in the gun. Xiao Yi had a strong sense of curiosity. Naturally, Xue Zi Xuan would not let him touch something so dangerous, but he never expected that his father would actually pull the trigger. It reminded him of his last life. For exoneration, his father pushed all the blame onto Xue Jing Yi, and later had his mother bear most of the charges for him.

Xue Rui was such a selfish person. He did everything for himself. Sure enough, there was no good person in his family. Sooner or later, they would destroy all the good things in life.

Xue Zi Xuan’s vision was red. He heard an anxious voice from the other end of the phone, and he slowly said: “Hello, I want to report something to the police. My father, mother, and sister intend to join forces to murder my brother, and now my brother is missing. Please, can you help me find him?” He gave the manor’s address, and the person on the other end of the line said that there would be police officers there soon.

“What nonsense are you saying? Huang Yi left. Nothing happened to him. We didn’t murder him at all!” Xue Rui rushed to grab the phone.

Xue Zi Xuan kicked him away. Then he called and had the security company that he was working with send a few people over to watch Xue Rui and his party.

The bodyguards came quickly and they escorted the frightened Xue Li Dan Ni and Xue Jing Yi to the guest room on the second floor.

Xue Rui was sitting in the living room. There was another bodyguard with a gun trained to Xue Rui’s head.

Xue Zi Xuan took out the memory card from the safe and cut out the clip of Xiao Yi’s farewell to save to another disk. He wanted to save it for himself. He didn’t want to give it to the police.

He stared at the disk in a daze. After a long while, he said in a low voice: “Did you think that Xiao Yi sent the evidence back for extortion? You were wrong. He didn’t take any valuables when he left. He only had the set of clothes that he wore when he first came to our house. He disdains our family for being dirty, and anything from our family would dirty his hands.”

Xue Rui was sweating profusely and echoed: “Yes, we were wrong. We shouldn’t hurt him. He is a good kid. Son, your father begs you. Seeing as how we’ve raised you for so long, how about you just let us go? When you get Huang Yi back, if you want to come out of the closet then you can come out of the closet. If you want to get married then you can get married. We won’t interfere. Before the police comes, destroy that memory card, then everyone can live together in harmony and pass our days happily. There’s no need to push things to this point. Zi Xuan, your dad is begging you!”

“I let you go, but who will let Xiao Yi go?” Xue Zi Xuan suddenly stood up and shouted, “If he didn’t notice your schemes, what were you guys going to do? Plot against him even more? Have him fall off a cliff? Dig out his heart? Who’s going to let him go? Who’s going to let him go?”

Xue Zi Xuan vented his emotions on the things in the living room, breaking them without restraint. He did not even know when the tears had started streaming down his face. He was about to crumble and fall apart.

He roared at Xue Rui until Xue Rui was almost like a cicada in the winter. Stiff. Even the bodyguard’s hand, which held a gun, shook. He had never seen an employer get so angry that they lost control like this. It was as if his employer would go insane in the next second.

Xue Zi Xuan’s vision wast r’d. That gent hath heard an anxious voice from the oth’r endeth of the phoneth, and that gent but soft hath said: “hello, i wanteth to rep’rt something to the police. Mine own fath’r, moth’r, and sist’r intendeth to joineth f’rces to murd’r mine own broth’r, and anon mine own broth’r is missing.

“what tush tush art thee declaring? Huang Yi hath left. Nothing hath happened to that gent. We didn’t murd’r that gent at all!” Xue Rui did rush to grabeth the phoneth.

Xue Zi Xuan did kick that gent hence. Then that gent hath called and hadst the security company yond that gent wast w’rking with sendeth a few people ov’r to gaze Xue Rui and his party.

Xue Rui wast sitting in the living cubiculo. Th’re wast anoth’r bodyguard with a caliver did train to Xue Rui’s headeth.

MC transmigrates into Princess Libertia after reading a book and dying. Apparently Libertia herself is the one who summoned her because she was afflicted with an illness of the soul, so switching out the soul will cure the illness in her body eventually. MC has to remember 100 memories in one year, and she’ll cough up blood every time it happens. After that, she’ll be better. Libertia tells her to live freely as she wants and then disappears.

Recap by Vanilla Muse. Please read this on vmnovels (dot) com

MC plans to help some of her favorite characters in the book not die – because Lavrov is a yandere that kills everyone who gets close to Ariel – and then leave. She goes to get examined and Rox finds out about her illness. She requests to leave the palace, but the emperor tells her to stay for another year, because now he feels bad about her illness and wants to give her some good memories before she leaves. But the story proper starts in 3 months and her illness will be cured in a year, so she didn’t want to stay for that long, but she’s afraid of going against the emperor’s orders, so she decides to befriend Daniel as a failsafe against Lavrov. But she doesn’t even know what he looks like.

She decides to start with helping Sir Volton, who has one of the longest relationships with Ariel in the book. He came to the palace to look for a strong opponent (read: Duke Eirik). He’s prejudiced against Libertia due to the nasty rumors about her that Lisian Vance had spread.

Chapters 1-30 Recap

In her first life, MC was a Korean orphan adopted into a wealthy family in Spain. She learned all the skills of an upper class person and attended an elite school, but her family (with the exception of a sister who died young) were all mean to her and beat her.

After she died in a helicopter ride, she reincarnated as Ruby. However, Ruby is likely not biologically related to her family, so they don’t treat her well, with the exception of her second brother. Her eldest brother, Cesare, beats her and uses her like a pawn. Her father uses her marriage as a political tool. She has trauma from both of her family, and acts perky to survive.

Her new family is from the south. She gets married to Izek, from the north. The maids are cold to her. They like Freya (and thought Freya would marry Izek).

MC decides to play the part of an ignorant fool in order to survive. Ellen has a wooden face but seems to like and look out for MC.

The head maid hates MC for some reason. It is unconfirmed, but it is most likely the head maid that put out the torch in MC’s room on her first night there. This attracted a demon(?) into her room. Izek saves her and misunderstands that she put out the flame, but Ellen speaks up for her.

MC is anorexic and has trouble keeping down food.

During the MC’s first social party in the north, she got dragged by some black miasma into the water. ML fished her out. Except she somehow got from the pond in the garden to the courtyard.

MC gets sick the day after. ML shows concern.

MC goes horseback riding with Ellen and Freya. Freya tricks her into riding into the forest and then lies to everyone that MC ran off on her own. MC was dragged off her horse by a black miasma, lost consciousness, woke up to a raccoon demon(?) that saved her from a headless horseman and brought her back to the searching party.

When MC and ML are alone after she gets treatment, he asks for her side of the story. Then he tells her what Freya said, and MC realizes that it won’t be easy to befriend Freya like she had thought. Freya visits with an insincere apology, but MC decides it’s not worth it to pursue this battle and lets it go.

ML’s birthday banquet. MC gets period cramps. The head maid tells MC that Izek told her not to attend. MC thinks it’s fishy and bribes a maid to help her get ready. She goes to the banquet hoping to present her gift and leave, but gets rained on. Izek finds her. She changes and gives him an embroidered handkerchief and an apology letter.

Recap by Vanilla Muse. Please read this on vmnovels (dot) com

ML’s father comes home and basically says that they have to consummate their marriage. This will solidify the marriage. Before sex, she can get an annulment of the marriage, which is simpler. After sex, it becomes a divorce, which is messier, especially because of how strong the religion is. The father wants this to prevent the south from pulling any tricks. MC wants this because she doesn’t want to go back to her shit family. (The only reason the obsessive Cesare doesn’t mind her marrying Izek is because he believes that Izek will never consummate the marriage.)

That night ML goes to MC’s room. He undresses her and finds the whip scars on her back. He knows something is wrong, but she lied and said that it was a childhood accident. He doesn’t push and just holds her to sleep. They have breakfast together the next morning, which should be sweet, but his aura was so oppressive that she ended up throwing up everything.

They then visit the temple, where MC’s father most likely has a spy (and it might be the archbishop). Freya and her brother tries to make things awkward for MC, but MC counters by acting the fool and then ML steps in to swoop her away, literally.

At another public gathering, MC, Ellen, and Freya are gathered at a table talking about getting a new maid for MC (because all the current maids are bitches to her). The maid would be introduced by Freya however. As Freya is drinking wine, she suddenly vomits blood or wine?

Posted on by Vanilla Muse

Summary

In the original lines of the novel, I was a villainess—used as a political tool by my father and older brother—who ended up dying at the hands of my future husband.

To save his kingdom, my father desperately begged my fifth groom to take my hand in marriage. The problem is that the man I’m supposed to marry, the legendary knight of the North, is the same man who will end up murdering me and my entire family.

I have to find a way to survive.

Within the novel itself, there are many daunting challenges ahead of me: I have to find a way to save my husband’s little sister, win over my cold-hearted husband, and gain the support of the people of the North, all of whom currently despise me.

“I’m in love with you!”

So please, don’t kill me!

Episode 34 – Recap

Lingyi comes to pick Shiyi up from Xianling Pavilion. He eavesdrops on Shiyi and Lin Shixian talking. At first he is pleased that she is giving up Xianling Pavilion for the Xu family, but then hears Lin Shixian talking about her love for embroidery.

Lingyi and Lin Shixian have an honest talk about Lin Shixian’s feelings for Shiyi. Lin Shixian explains everything clearly to avoid misunderstandings and then lets Lingyi know that he will be withdrawing from Xianling Pavilion.

Back at the Xu manor, Lingyi tells Shiyi she can keep doing what she loves [embroidery] as long as he is alive. A drunken Shiyi thanks him and apologizes for stabbing him. He forgives her, but can’t help questioning her feelings for him.

Recap by Vanilla Muse. Please read this on vmnovels (dot) com

Madame Luo and Concubine Yang (Erniang’s mother) both pass away at the same time. Old Master Luo falls ill from the shock. While he is bedridden, his children and in-laws decide how to handle the funeral. Lingyi steps in and says the Xu family will help out. Erniang is angry at the entire Luo family and doesn’t hold her tongue back anymore. Her maid tries to counsel her. Now that Erniang has an adopted son, if she has the Luo family’s backing then her days will get better, but Erniang said she would rather die than depend on them and then she coughs up blood.

Shiyi confirms Erniang’s words, that she had once tried to run away from the marriage with the Xu family, but then her mother died. Lingyi accurately guesses that she only went along with the marriage afterwards because she suspected the Xu family for the death of her mother and wanted to investigate from within. Thus, she never saw him as someone trustworthy. He is deeply hurt by this revelation. He thinks her only feelings for him are guilt and gratitude. She chases after him to explain, but Xu Yu comes to ask Lingyi to visit Concubine Wen because it is her birthday. He agrees and walks off with him. Shiyi is sad and goes to walk in the gardens despite the impending rain.
