Description
Gu MingYue is absolutely done with being the cannon fodder side character of a novel… To think that she, born with beauty and status, had her life and her man stolen by a white lotus who had nothing on her! What on earth is going on!?
But everything changed after she met the one called "System". After finding out that she was a mere cannon fodder in a novel, and that by completing various missions, she would be able to achieve what she wanted most – to be reborn into her world!
This is a story of a strikingly beautiful and poised cannon fodder, out on a mission to complete quests, and there is only one way to do so – have sex!
Even at the end of her short and unfortunate life, still Gu MingYue could not understand what exactly had happened.
As the daughter of Zhou Guo's Elder Princess and the royal niece of the current emperor, Gu MingYue was known to be the most beautiful and poised woman in the country. She was known for her elegance and beauty, together with the natural flowery scent that lingered over wherever she went.
Of course, she had a fairly high status in the country, as she had been given the name Princess YuHua by her uncle at the age of ten.
Not to mention that she had always been an exceptionally bright child. One could test her in every field, no matter if it's of musical instruments, or poems and literature, there was nothing she had not mastered.
But still, even though she had been born with talent, she had not once rejected the opportunity to study how to be a proper lady, and in addition to her gentle nature, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was the model lady of the country.
But this was the exact reason why she could not understand what went wrong, why was her ending so miserable, and her poor mother, who had her royal status taken from her and forced to live out her retirement as a slave.
Gu MingYue's soul lingered in midair as she watched the little white lotus married her ex-husband, and one by one, seducing all the powerful men of the country, there was the prime minister, the leader of the WuLin society, the powerful saint of the cult, the godly doctor, even Gu MingYue's very own elder brother, Gu MingYu!
She watched as all of the men, though knowing that she's a married woman, fall in love with her and spoiled her to no ends. They would do anything for her, just for a smile, or a passionate (shameless) fuck…
Gu MingYue watched unblinkingly, as if she was a mere bystander, though she was still utterly confused, her heart eventually calmed down. It no longer bothered her that her cold and expressionless ex-husband would smile so warmly at the presence of the white lotus; or the fact that her brother, knowing that the little white lotus was their half-sister, but still he continued to engage in shameless activities with her.
It did not bother Gu MingYue at all, the way all these men accepted each other, just so the little white lotus would be happy. They pampered her to the heavens, and gave her everything they had…
But still, it just did not make sense.
Until one day, the peace was finally shattered. The little white lotus had stopped her brother from taking care of their sick mother, not only did she not allow him to take care of Mother. And when he had finally given in to her request to go shopping with her, she had thrown a huge tantrum, crying at this heartlessness when he told her that he wished to wait for a caretaker servant to arrive before they leave for the marketplace.
To think that his brother would be so heartless! Their mother had always made sure to provide them with the best of everything, even personally taking care of them whenever one of them fell sick.
To think that he would abandon their mother for this woman!? Just because she cried!?
Even when her wonderful sister-in-law, who was gravely worried for their mother, carried their child with her as she knelt before Gu MingYue's main door, begging him to send a doctor to see their mother, he had only thrown her out of the house with a divorce letter.
And his lack of action had cost their mother's life, as she passed away in pain.
To think that her brother was someone with little to no morals and common sense. Such an unfilial man, with no loyalty to anyone at all!
His actions had shocked Gu MingYue to her core, as she trembled in fury at the scene.
Her mother's death was the last straw, as she finally reached out her hand towards the bubble-like mirror, intending to claw the little white lotus to death.
But just before she could kill her mother's murderer, her bloodthirsty claws were bounced off by a golden shield surrounding the bubble! Not only that, her very soul was being burned to ashes by the golden light!
She stared at the woman who ruined her family with bloodshot eyes as her soul shattered into pieces, while her heart burned with an undying need for vengeance.
She could not leave like this! Not when the little white lotus lives her happily ever after with her countless men! Not when she took everything that was rightfully hers! Not when she had to watch helplessly as her mother died right in front of her!
It's unfair! Everything is wrong! Her soul shrieked through the air in retaliation, momentarily solidifying her soul in her desperate attempt.
Do you wish to reclaim what was yours?
Do you wish to save your mother?
Do you wish to punish the evil?
A static voice sounded through her ears suddenly.
I do! Gu MingYue answered instantly without hesitation.
Welcome, and congratulations on
receiving the Fleshy Adventurer System.
The hollow voice continued, right after that, a half-transparent board appeared in front of Gu MingYue.

Gu MingYue stared unblinking at the shining words floating in midair, this was something entirely new to her and she did not know how to react to it, but her attention was quickly caught by the information shown.
I come from the plane of the Creators.
This world you lived in was in fact, created by one of the creators called a 'writer'.
And you are merely a character in a novel.
Unfortunately, your role was to be a cannon fodder.
A role made specifically to path the way for the main character.
You were specially created, armed with intelligence and status, just so that the main character can take over what was yours.
You should be dead, but your resentment was so strong that it kept your soul alive.
In fact, it's almost enough to bring this entire world itself to ruin.
This was why the Heavenly God decided that you would receive a system of your own.
But Gu MingYue was in a daze from the influx of information, "You mean, this world doesn't exist…? I am but a fictional character? But the pain felt so real…"
Wrong.
Even though this mini world was created by a writer from another world, this world DOES exist, and the people here are very real.
The voice explained calmly.
"I see…" She hung her head as she cleaned up her thoughts.
Now that you have activated the system, would you like to receive your New User Rewards?
Two buttons appeared under her status board, specifically [Yes] and [No], and after confirming her status board once again, she touched the [Yes] button softly with her index finger.
The status board instantly minimized into a small tab, while new interactable tabs appeared.
Mission World | Status Board
User Manual | Gift Box
Even now, Gu MingYue was still somewhat confused, this system technology is way beyond her knowledge, causing her to subconsciously treat it with respect.
She tapped lightly on the button named [Gift Box], and a letter appeared.
Dear Valued User:
Greetings.
This system is known as the "Fleshy Adventurer System", and as the unique user of this system, you will be sent into various worlds to complete different missions – in other words, you will be the main character of this system.
The difficulty level of the world varies, one useful advantage specifically made is that there is no time limit, but instead, if you fail to complete the mission, you will never be able to leave that world.
And as you progress through the mission, you will be rewarded with skill points and reward points. The former can be allocated to any of your current statuses, while the latter can be used to exchange for various objects and tools from our marketplace system.
As for the final reward, which will be rewarded to you if you manage to complete ALL of the missions, you will be given a second chance to live in your own world!
(PS: If the user managed to do so, the user shall keep all of the skill sets and status earned!)
Gu MingYue could already feel her blood burning within her as she read on, this was like a dream come true, to think that she would be given a chance to change her own fate! But as she shakingly tapped on the button called [Mission Completing Tips], she almost fainted from what she saw!
Right in front of her, floats another bubble.
In order to complete the missions, the cannon fodder (aka: the User) will be required to seduce the world's Male Lead. The User is required to earn his body and soul, henceforth acquiring his promise that he would never fall in love or touch the Female Lead.
Furthermore, the more times the User engages in bodily activities with the Male Lead, the higher the chance to complete the mission. In cases where the difficulty level is unusually high, the User is allowed to use any means available to achieve her goals.
As the model lady of the country, who had grown up in a world where females are to be poised and pure, Gu MingYue could not believe what she had read.
No longer able to process her surroundings, her eyes blackened and she fell backward as she finally fainted from shock.
But, right before she lost her consciousness, she could vaguely hear the static voice of the system.
Transporting User to the next mission world – My Sickly Hubby.
It was bright and sunny outside, and the streets were filled with fireworks as the city celebrated the wedding of Lu ShuYan, the illegitimate third miss of Marquis ZhenBei, and Prince Liu Yi, the nephew of the current emperor.
Gu MingYue blinked nervously in the wedding carriage. One moment she was still fainting from the horrible tips given by the system, the next she was already stuck in the body of Lu ShuYan.
Unsure of her current options, she could only settle down and get used to her new body, and fortunately, moments later, a now-familiar looking message board appear right in from of her, giving her the option to check out this world's story.
Not knowing what to expect, she took a deep breath before tapping the [Yes] button swiftly, quickly scanning through the information that appeared on the message board, intending to grasp her current situation to her best abilities.
Initially, as the illegitimate third daughter of a Marquis, her chances of marrying a royalty was near to zero, but Prince Liu Yi was known for his grave illness, it was said that there was nothing the imperial doctors could do except to keep him alive with various rare medicines.
Fortunately, as the cannon fodder of this beautiful love story, she was to be married to this sickly prince as a token of great joy1, and as a bonus, her in-laws had allowed her to take up the role as Main Consort.
Though, the wedding was overly simple and completed hastily, to the point that Lu ShuYan had to undergo the wedding rituals with a cockerel just because her husband was bedridden.
It was so bad that from the day she entered this household to the day she had to give way for her elder sister, not once did she met nor hear from her husband in their short-lived marriage.
The one time that he had finally noticed her, it was to strip her of her position as Main Consort and announced her a lowly mistress because he had fallen for her elder sister, Lu WanQing, the legitimate first born daughter of her family. Still, his command came in the form of a piece of paper, as he did not even show up for her downfall.
Eventually, she spent her entire life there until the day she passed, alone.
"Ahh… Such a miserable life, as expected of a cannon fodder." Gu MingYue sighed at the fate of Lu ShuYan, and as someone who was, too, a cannon fodder in her previous life, Gu MingYue could relate with her unfortunate life.
But she quickly cheered up, because though an outsider might not know about the real reasoning behind her husband's issue, she did, and her husband-to-be, was anything but sickly.
In fact, he was a highly skilled martial artist, and his fatal illness was merely a cover for him to assist his cousin, the current crown prince, in secret affairs.
Meanwhile, the plot of the story went like this. On one of his secret missions, he was to enter the prime minister's living quarters to steal a piece of evidence that would cause the downfall of the crown prince, and unfortunately for him, the place was too heavily guarded, causing him to be gravely injured.
And though he still managed to escape, he could not have gone far if not for Lu WanQing, who was, coincidentally, riding past in her personal carriage. Seeing his chance to escape, he had intruded her carriage and threatened her to keep quiet.
Being a kindhearted lady, she covered for the injured Liu Yi and managed to convince the prime minister's guards to leave her carriage unchecked, as she could not harbor any bad reputation for having her carriage violated by servants. Her quick wits saved him that night.
And unbeknownst to her, the man that she had saved, had fallen deeply for the gentle and smart lady who had helped him in his neediest time.
Which was why, after this fateful incident, he begun visiting her personal quarters every night, and within days, the two of them had fallen deeply in love with each other, even to the point of sharing wonderful nights together.
Gu MingYue's face was all crumpled up in disgust as she read on. Such disgraceful beings! She thought in spite, To think that a legitimate daughter of a Marquis would be so shameless!
But her cheeks burned instantly as she remembered her mission, and it finally hit her that she was in no position to judge anyone…
Furthermore, though disgraceful, Lu WanQing was not an evil person, unlike the little white lotus from her own world. She was not aware that the man she had fallen deeply for was her very own brother-in-law, nor would it matter even if she did, such was the way of the hierarchy.
And even after claiming the position of the Main Consort, she had not made a move towards her illegitimate sister, as she probably thought that her little sister was not a threat at all, hence allowing Lu ShuYan to continue living there. Gu MingYue could almost considered her to had lived a long and comfortable life, if you ignore the fact that Lu WanQing had turned a blind eye to the servants' bullying.
Truly a kindhearted woman2, indeed.
That was the entire backstory of this world, and Gu MingYue's mission here was to capture the heart of Prince Liu Yi, and stabilize her position as his Main Consort, which required him to swear that he would never fall for Lu WanQing.
This might not be as difficult as I had expected… Gu MingYue blushed furiously as she thought about her options.
It was a known fact that Lu WanQing, as the legitimate daughter of a Marquis, was a lady with great beauty and intelligence, and as much fame as she had, Lu ShuYan was the exact opposite.
There was no way the Marchioness would allow the daughter of a mistress to overtake her daughter in fame, which was why she had been raised with a cowardly and uncompetitive nature, who was so easily frightened and uneducated to the point that no one her unattractive personality had fully hidden her actual beauty.
In truth, Lu ShuYan had been born with exceptional beauty, together with her angelic voice, otherwise, the Marquis would never had been able to arrange for her to marry a prince in such a perfunctory way.
Even Gu MingYue herself was confident that Lu ShuYan could rival the beauty of her original body, and now that she's here, Gu MingYue knew that she would have to use her beauty as an advantage, even though the old her would've despised this… But that was during the time when she honestly believed that she needed to be the perfect wife in order to keep her husband's heart, but experience taught her that this was not the case at all.
Truly, a perfect and poised wife would gain the respect of her husband, and that was all she would receive. Meanwhile, a wife who is perfect in public but a thirsty slut in private, was what all men wished for.
This was what she came to understand, after spending so much time watching how the little white lotus had interacted with the men from their world.
But knowing this was one thing, accepting it was really difficult for her, but she knew that she had no choice. This was her only option left, and in order to save her mother, she could not afford to fail any of her missions, at all.
Fortunately, just like the backstory she had read, Gu MingYue was quickly sent to the wedding room after rushing through the overly simple marriage ritual. The servants merely lead her to the plain and undecorated room with not a single word of blessing, furthermore, she noticed that they had not prepared her wedding bed with red-colored beddings nor had they placed the bowl of dried food3 on her pillow.
Gu MingYue sat on the worn down bed quietly as she waited, but at this point, dizzy from hunger, and in addition to the heavy weight of her marriage crown, she felt as though she might faint any time soon.
She tried wetting her lips with her saliva, only to find out that even her mouth was dry and her throat hurts, probably from being dehydrated for an entire day.
Furthermore, her head hurts from the unending noise of her nanny's sobs, who had not stopped weeping for her unfortunate fate since the moment they walked into this room.
"Why do you cry?" She asked solemnly, landing her gaze on her nanny, before slowly removing her wedding crown from her head.
"Oh, Princess consort, how could you remove your wedding crown!?" Instantly, her nanny cried out in shock at her actions, before reaching out to grab her wedding crown carefully, intending to place it back onto Gu MingYue's head.
But there was no way Gu MingYue would allow her to place the burden back in place! Quickly tilting her head slightly to the side, she narrowly avoided the crown, and at the same time, had enough time to observe her reflection on the side of the crown.
Her face was somewhat slim, with striking features and skin as pale as milk, even her nanny, who had raised her from birth, could not help but pause momentarily at her beauty.
And as if she had finally resigned to her life, Gu MingYue bit down hard onto her lips as she pushed away the crown weakly while her eyes dimmed.
"Do not cry, nanny. I'm married to a prince, and by law, my name would be carved into the royalty's family book. This is truly a wonderful occasion, why do you cry?" Her words ended abruptly in a soft choke, as if she was trying her hardest not to weep herself.
And as expected, her nanny quickly placed the crown on a table nearby and hugged her tightly within her arms, "Oh, my poor miss, with your looks, I'm sure you do well even as one of the emperor's consort. How could the Marquis destroy your entire life by sending you here to be married to a sickly man? Oh, my poor miss!"
"Hush, nanny. As an illegitimate child, I am very grateful that I was given this chance to marry a prince, and I truly believe that he will live a long and healthy life." Gu MingYue answered truthfully, but her words sounded as if she was lying to herself, and it only seemed to sadden her nanny further, "My husband must be resting now, how could I bother him with such trivial things…"
Intending to end this conversation quicker, she paused for a second before continuing weakly, "Nanny, can I bother you to lead YaGe and YeYan here, and please find me something to eat…"
Her nanny nodded at her, quickly wiping away her tears. Nothing is more important than her miss, and her precious miss must be starving by now.
Gu MingYue sat idly in front of her dressing table as her two maids brushed her long and silky hair. At this point, she was already exhausted to the brim, and after dismissing her maids, she lied down on her bed tiredly.
Unlike Lu ShuYan, she was someone who naturally had the demeanor of a highborn royalty, and this was not something that would change even if she was currently occupying someone else's body, as souls do not lie.
For the next few days, she was extremely cautious in her daily life, even resorting to using her tears to prevent her nanny and the two maids from suspecting that she was, in fact, an imposter. And somehow, it had worked!
Gu MingYue had plans to stop with this nonsense crying when the time comes, but that would have to come later. In fact, she was extremely busy right now as her full attention were on the books left in her room.
As a married woman in her previous life, she was not unknown to the ways of the bedroom, even though she had been like a dead fish on her marriage night… She used to think of that as a method to produce children for her husband, and if not for the days she had spent watching the little white lotus as a spirit, never in her life would she had imagined that there were so many ways to pleasure a man in the bedroom.
Gu MingYue grinned bitterly as she picked up one of the books, to think that the old her had been too shy to even touch the books… But after spending so long watching the obscene things the little white lotus did with so many men, no books were capable of throwing her off, especially now, as she had merely blushed slightly as she flipped through the pages.
Her goals were simple. She would complete every single mission available, and she will return to her own world to save her mother.
But in order to do so, she needed more information and knowledge of capturing a man's heart, and the ways of the bedroom is, in fact, a very crucial part.
Pride and honor? No, she would bury that deeply within her as it would do nothing but hinder her mission.
She would learn, swiftly and fiercely, in hope that one day she could defeat the little white lotus at her own game.

Footnotes:
Known in chinese as 冲喜, which means a woman is married to a sickly man in hope that the joyous celebration will hasten the man's recovery.
Because it was very usual for the main consort to have a mistress due to jealousy at this era, hence, by not making a move on her little sister, Lu WanQing was already considered very kind.
This bowl would contain a mix of dried fruits and nuts such as longans, persimmons, and red dates. This combination symbolizes a sweet and long-lasting marriage blessed with fertility and well wishes.
More than a month had passed since they got married, and Gu MingYue's life at the Qin Palace1 was extremely relaxing and enjoyable, with the only downside being that she had not been able to meet with her mission's target.
In fact, on the next morning of her wedding, she was told that it was not required of her to visit and give respects to her mother-in-law, nor does she need to do so in the coming days2
Gu MingYue understood that her mother-in-law, being royalty from birth, looked down on her illegitimate origins, but this suited her needs, as it was less trouble for her to skip this particular daily routine.
As for her dear husband, it was as if he had vanished into thin air, with the reason being "not wanting to pass on the illness to her", even sending his personal maid to bring her carriages of gifts to express his apologies for not being able to accompany her home.3
Gu MingYue glanced coldly at the lack of respect from the maid, before raising her head up in smiles as she expressed her regrets for not being able to personally take care of her husband. Insisting that her husband was too considerate and kind to her, she commanded the men to return the gifts, as she should not be enjoying lavishly while her husband is still bedridden.
But the truth was that she did not want to return to her maiden home alone, as she was not the real Lu ShuYan, and returning home means there was a risk that she would be exposed…
Throughout the entire month, Gu MingYue had been slowly and steadily emitting an aura and grace befitting of a consort princess, to the point that even her mother-in-law was surprised, thus successfully securing a nod of praise from her. She took extra care to make it seem like she had developed it through the month in the Qin Palace that not even her personal maids noticed that Lu ShuYan was no longer herself.
Other than that, she had also been carefully counting down her days to the fateful meeting of the original protagonists, and noticing that it's near, she quickly submitted a request to be allowed to take a trip to the temple to pray for her husband's wellbeing.
And of course, her mother-in-law had gladly approved of it.
One should always been dressed plainly and humbly when visiting a temple, hence this was Gu MingYue's reason as she firmly refused to be escorted by the Qin Palace's guards. Instead, she insisted to be sent there in a simple-looking carriage while being accompanied by merely two maids.
HongLong Temple was not far from the prime minister's residence, and behind the temple was a dark alleyway. An injured man dressed in black jumped over the high wall as he escaped from that place, his exhausted eyes instantly noticing an unguarded carriage at the entrance of the alleyway.
This was all thanks to Gu MingYue's plans.
Having read the entire story plot earlier on, there was no way she would allow the male and female protagonist to meet each other easily. Instead, she would replace the heroin and appear at the correct timing.
Although her carriage might look cheap on the outside, the inside was actually much more larger and comfortable than the average carriage, easily accommodating at least three men to lie down horizontally. Furthermore, there were also scented sachets hanged on the four corners of the roof, while the curtains were made from pink silk. It was obvious that though Gu MingYue did not attained her mother-in-law's affections, she had not been treated harshly in her new home, as the carriage and the accessories provided were all new and in good condition.
She had quickly go through the entire set of procedures for the burning of incense and prayers, and by the time she was done, the sky was already completely dark, as she had calculated.
She had took her time approaching the carriage that she had previously ordered to be parked near the exit of the alleyway. This was, in fact, the perfect place to park her carriage, as it would block Liu Yi's way and at the same time, attracting his attention to it. Furthermore, it would also safely block the alleyway from the heroin's view, just in case she was nearby too.
As soon as Gu MingYue entered her carriage, she instantly took off her outercoat, only to notice that she had left her jade pendant behind. Quickly leaning out of the window, she sent both of her maids to go bank into the temple to retrieve her belongings while she waited alone inside the carriage.
Her luscious black and long silky hair were tied up in a delicate bun4, and being held in place by a jeweled hairpin, while her yellow silk dress was like layered glass, flickering across her body as she moved every once in a while. And under the dimly lit place, it was almost as if she was half naked.
Now that she had prepared her bait, all she needed to do was wait patiently for the big fish to arrive.
Gu MingYue found a comfortable spot on the cushioned walls to lean against as she waited, and before long, a man rushed into her carriage.
He was extremely fast, and before she could react, Gu MingYue was already being held at knifepoint.
Liu Yi had been escaping from the prime minister's house when his presence had been found out, and though he was an extremely skilled martial artist, one man could not win against many equally skilled guards. In no time at all, he was already injured and exhausted, but as soon as he ran out of the place, he noticed that his only way out of the alleyway was blocked by a carriage.
He had already lost too much blood, and he had no confidence that he could jump over the carriage at this state, and the fact that there was a huge group of skilled guards chasing after him. Hence, without hesitation, he had entered the simple looking carriage, confident that he would be able to handle whoever that was inside.
And the first thing he saw was a young lady resting against a cushion, "Miss, please allow me to hide here for the time being, and I do hope that you won't scream, otherwise…" He rasped deeply as he pressed the knife slightly deeper against her smooth and delicate neck, threatening her viciously while feeling the panicked trembling from the woman beneath him.
Due to the dimly lit carriage, and the fact that his huge frame was blocking most of the light, he wasn't able to see the woman's face in detail, but he was somewhat surprised that she did not scream, together with the whiff of aroma coming from her body.
"Kind sir, would you be willing to move the knife from my throat." The woman's voice trembled slightly, but it was surprisingly melodic.
The first thought that came to Liu Yi's mind after hearing her speak was that this was a married woman with a pretty voice. After considering her words thoroughly, he decided that no sheltered married woman could win against him in a one-on-one battle, hence he swiftly removed the dangerously sharp knife from her skin before laying down to rest on the other side of the carriage.
Releasing a sigh of relief, he finally glanced at her way, only to gasp in surprise.
On the other side, Gu MingYue was actually beaming with glee at the fact that she had finally moved one step closer to her target, though on the outside, she was still keeping up her weak and scared demeanor, while glancing at the intruder cautiously.
Liu Yi was truly handsome, with his sharp features and firm eyebrows. The fact that he was always pretending to be bedridden had taken a toll on his skin, making it much smoother and paler than the average men here. Furthermore, he would also occasionally emit the studious sort of vibes, hence giving him the gentle and patient demeanor.
If she had not witnessed him stealing from the prime minister's residence, who would have thought that such a gentleman looking man would be a top-notch martial artist?
When as she was sizing him up, he too, was doing the same. Being one born in royalty, it was not an exaggeration to say that he had met plenty of beautiful woman, but still, he was still utterly captivated by her beauty and grace!
To the point that if she claimed that she was the second beauty in the entire country, no one would've dared to claim the first spot!
Both man and woman stared at each other in silence, Liu Yi being lost in thought, and Gu MingYue being due to not knowing what to say to an intruder. Fortunately, her maids returned with her pendant moments later, and after eyeing the man inside her carriage, she raised the curtains slightly to let the maids know that she wished to return home.
"Sir, are you okay?" Knowing from the story plot that he was injured, she asked worriedly as the carriage moved.
In fact, this was her attempt at pretending to be a kindhearted and gentle person, as this was how the main heroin had captured Liu Yi's heart in the original story.
But before he could give her an answer, the carriage had come to a stop suddenly, and being a weak woman, Gu MingYue had not been able to grip onto something, hence she had allowed her soft body to fall towards Liu Yi, even taking the effort to land her twin bunnies right onto his face.
He grunted softly at the impact, as though he was an injured man, this was not something one could enjoy everyday.
It was noisy outside, and they could hear the city guards' voices as they demanded to check the carriage. Gu MingYue was clearly flustered, as her face was burning with embarrassment as she tried to move away from this awkward position, but her panicked movements only seemed to make things worst, as her fingers would inadvertently graze through his chest and abdomen.
Being a man in his prime and the fact that he had usually stayed away from women in his daily life, such teasing actions from a beauty such as her was enough to fill him thoroughly with desire.
After forcefully reminding himself many times that this was a married woman, he finally held her up by the waist promptly, allowing her to finally steady herself. But even after she did so, he could not bear to let go of her soft and tiny waist.
His thoughts and desires were clearly shown on his face, while her entire face was furiously reddened as she blushed in shame, "What's the commotion!?" She quickly steadied herself before calling to the outside.
"Princess consort, the prime minister had lost one of his belongings and he is personally leading the city guards to search each and every house in the city. The city guards are demanding to check our carriage, claiming that it is under the orders of the prime minister."
"What?! I do not mind allowing them to check my carriage, but do they have the guts to do so? If nothing was found here, I wonder if the prime minister could bear the name of disrespecting the royal family?" At this point of time, Gu MingYue's original demeanor had fully replaced Lu ShuYan's, her expression hardened and her voice was firm.
And as expected, their carriage was quickly allowed free access to leave as soon as her maids relayed her words to the guards. Meanwhile, as if her remaining strength was drained fully from the act of courage, her body went limp and her legs gave way under her. But before she could fall to the ground, a pair of firm hands reached out and pulled her into a hug.
"You are a princess consort? Who is your husband?" Liu Yi lifted up her chin to take a clearer look, in fact, he had vaguely guessed who she was, but his voice carried an obvious hint of eagerness.
He knew not why he would feel such feelings for a woman he just met, perhaps it was because of her striking beauty, perhaps it was the way she had tried her best to stay calm in such a stressful situation, or perhaps it was because of her kindhearted nature.
Gu MingYue's eyes were half-closed as her long eyelashes trembled at their closeness, she could clearly smell the minty scent from his body, "My husband is Qin Wang." Her cherry lips moved as she whispered softly.
Her eyes were lowered as she answered his question, henceforth missing the gleam within Liu Yi's eyes.
And as if something funny had crossed his mind, he chuckled deeply before continuing, "So, you're the rumored bride of that sickly man. To think that such a beauty like you are wasted on the likes of him." He rasped deeply as he trailed his fingers across the smooth silky skin around her neck.
"S…so what? Even though he is ill, he is gentle and considerate to me. We are very much in love." Gu MingYue retorted his words anxiously as she struggled against his grasp.
Her stuttered rebuttal sent him into a happy smile.
"Of course. This one wished for the wellbeing of your married life." He whispered softly into her ears, before striking her sleeping acupuncture point, and as she fell into slumber, she could vaguely hear his words before she lost conscious entirely, "I will remember this, and I will repay you in the future."

All princes will get their title and their own palaces.
Newlyweds were supposed to visit the husband's parents on the next morning of their wedding to offer tea as respect to the elders. And in return, the elders of the family will in turn bestow the newlyweds with gold jewelry as gifts. And in the ancient times, daughter-in-laws were required to visit the mother-in-law as a daily morning routine.
Newlyweds, mainly the wife, are supposed to take a day off and visit her maiden house after the wedding, as such, the role of the husband is an important one, as accompanying the wife home proves that they value her truly, and it will usually raise her status in her maiden house.
Married women would always have their hair tied into buns, while single ladies would let their hair down.
Extreme elegance, yet unspeakably seducing.
He had spent the past three nights sleeping on top of her roof.
For three nights in a row, he could not help but think of the way her delicate eyebrow creased at his cheekiness and the nectar is her voice. After that, he would always find himself on top of her roof when he came back to his senses…
Due to her system's target alert, Gu MingYue knew for certain that her target had been peeking in on her for many days, which was why as soon as he arrived each night, she would start on her nightly skin-care procedure.
After that, she took extra care to make sure that her movements were smooth and graceful, as she applied body lotion to her entire body, before moving towards her bed slowly, as she untied the ribbons around her waist.
Without the support of the ribbons, her almost see-through silk nightdress loosened instantly, before fluttering to the ground and leaving her in only inner-wear.
Her body was almost like a fine piece of jade under the moonlight, moderately thin with skin as pale as snow.
Flawless. He gulped.
And as if chilled by the night air, her body shivered slightly from the cold, causing the tip of her twin bunnies to perk up against her silk innerwear.
As soon as Liu Yi, who was lost in his own fantasy, saw this lewd scene, his body temperature rose sharply and he could feel a uncontrollable burning sensation within his abdomen.
At the same time, as she neared the bed, Gu MingYue 'accidentally' tripped over her own feet, causing her to crash face-down towards the bed in a funny and ridiculous posture.
She shut her eyes nervously together as she braced for the impact, and knowing that her uncoordinated posture looked weird, she could not be sure that Liu Yi would attempt to save her from falling.
All she could do was to gamble upon his male instincts.
She heard only but a soft chuckle from above her, before huge warm hands pulled her into his arms, her eyes widened in shock at the sudden intruder in her room, but before she could glance up at the stranger, her eyes were instantly blindfolded by a white piece of ribbon.
"What a seductive little lady, dressing up like this in the middle of the night, are you waiting for your sickly husband?" Liu Yi breathed warm air into her ear, leaving behind an odd sensation throughout her body and causing her to struggle against his grasp uncomfortably.
The intruder was obviously a young man, as his voice was deep and pleasing to the ear.
Gu MingYue's cherry-pink lips were slightly agape, almost as if she were going to call the guards, but she was quickly silenced by another pair of mint-flavored lips.
"Mmph!?" She cried out in surprise, but the intruder held her head steadily with both hands, unwilling to release her as he sucked against her puffy lips before tasting and teasing the inside of her tiny mouth thoroughly with his eager tongue.
Gu MingYue's cheeks were scarlet with rage and shame, as she tried to free herself from his grasp without avail. Her struggle was but a slight ignorable annoyance to him, after all.
After what felt like forever, he finally released her from his hold, though he kept an arm around her waist to steady her now jelly-like legs.
The ribbon that was tied around Gu MingYue's eyes was slightly soaked with tears, while the tip of her nose was red from her silent sobbing.
Though Liu Yi released her lips, he would not give up the chance to taste more of her. He made his way down her neck slowly and surely, causing a moan to unintentionally escape.
Her escaped moan was nothing but an encouragement for him, as he began to taste her much more aggressively than before, desperately urging her to bestow upon him her mesmerizing voice.
Meanwhile, Gu MingYue was in an utter shock, to think that she, a married woman, would even feel pleasure upon the hands of some stranger! And she felt nothing but despair at the sudden realization.
If anyone else sees her like this, not only would she be labeled a slut, she would also bring shame to her husband's family!
Without a moment's hesitation, Gu MingYue stuck out her tongue quickly, intending to end her own life rather than to take this abuse, only to bite down onto two strong fingers instead.
"Pretty lady, you have a rather fierce temperament, but if you really committed suicide here, where else can I find such a fine and beautiful woman, hm?" His words were light and stern, but she could vaguely hear a tint of fear within his voice.
What use is there in living if her body was to be tainted by a stranger?
Gu MingYue stayed silent, and instead, bit down even harder onto his two fingers while tears streamed down her cheeks, almost as if she intended to bite off this intruder's fingers.
Perhaps it was how the weak but stubborn beauty in his arms tried so hard to keep herself untainted, that it gave Liu Yi a great sense of satisfaction, so much so to the point that he decided to remove her blindfolds before tucking her messy hair behind her ears.
Gu MingYue glared at the intruder with tears within her eyes, only to stare at the man in surprise, wasn't this the man that intruded her carriage the other day!?
Her delicate brows furrowed in regret at her actions from that fateful day, to think that her kind actions would brought such a disaster upon herself…
"Ah, look at you, so pitiful and small… You're making it even harder for me to bear." Liu Yi sighed, but his words only seemed to anger her even further, to the point that she gave her everything to push him away, at the cost of her crashing towards the edge of the bed.
Thankfully, Liu Yi reacted swiftly enough to her actions that he grabbed her on time, causing both of them to crash towards the bed together.
"Sigh… Do you not recognize me? I am your husband." He said gently and softly, almost as if he regretted teasing her so much.
"I've had enough of your lies. My husband is sick and he is currently resting in his room, there's no way someone with your martial skills could be him!" The beauty stared at him contemptuously with her bright eyes, obviously not believing a word he had just said.
The man sighed in response as he reached towards his belt to grab hold of a pouch, before passing it to Gu MingYue, and upon noticing the pouch, all she could do was gasp in shock.
It was the exact pouch that she had hand-sewed days before, the one that she had her handmaiden personally deliver to her recovering husband.
"Y…You…" Gu MingYue stuttered in shock as she stared at the intruder, this pervert is her husband!? Not only was he not born sickly, but a strong man with exceptional martial prowess?!
Unable to determine if this was merely a dream or reality, she had to pinch herself twice to make sure that she was indeed not dreaming.
Liu Yi stared at her, amused with her adorable reactions, "Thanks to my wife's sincere prayers, I've finally recovered from my sickness. Besides still feeling a little weak in the body, I'm basically as healthy as a normal man now."
Gu MingYue was anything but an idiot, as she instantly understood her husband's words. But her face dimmed immediately after it hit her that there was no news that her husband was "healed", showing how little the servants in this palace valued her.
Liu Yi felt an unbearable tug within his chest as he glanced at her dimmed expressions, "Do not be saddened, my wife, it's all my fault. I have my reasons to be 'ill', but it wasn't my intention to keep it from you. I hope you can forgive me for my mistakes." He said in a low voice as he caressed her smooth cheeks.
It seems that it's time to teach the servants in his palace their place, even though he had been 'ill' and had not been able to complete their first night together, the servants were still at fault for their negligence.
"By the way, since your husband is fully recovered, why don't we make up for our first night together right away…" Liu Yi continued softly as he tugged onto the straps on her innerwear, instantly revealing her twin bunnies and the red plum-like buds, which were standing upright due to the midnight chills.
Gu MingYue responded to his actions shyly, before lifting up both of her hands to cover them up, but her actions were quickly halted as he caught her wrists and locked them above her head with one hand, while his other hand proceeded to remove her remaining panties quickly.
Before long, both man and woman were already fully naked.
Liu Yi, who could no longer hold himself back at the sight of such lustrous beauty, instantly buried his face within her welcoming chest, before twisting his face to one side to suckle and bite down on her hardened pink-ish bud teasingly, while pinching the bud on the other side aggressively.
Hearing her uncontrolled breathings and the cat-like moans seemed to encourage him further, as his fingers trailed through the soft skin on her stomach teasingly, slowly moving down towards her most secretive parts surely and steadily.
As if sensing Liu Yi's intentions, Gu MingYue hurriedly slammed her thighs tightly together, but they were quickly forced apart by strong hands, and before she could react, he locked one of his legs between hers.
Right after that, Liu Yi grasped ahold of her right leg before pressing it against her chest, completely exposing her most secretive parts in plain sight. It was extremely beautiful and full, and unlike the petal-like image Liu Yi once saw on a pictured book, hers was like a smooth pinkish nutmeg with a very thin slit in the middle.
Her face was flushed scarlet at his burning stare, "Don't look, don't look…" She sobbed as she twisted her body with her eyes closed, as if intending to escape from his deadly grip, but there was no way he would allow her to leave now. Quickly holding her in place, Liu Yi turned his gaze back onto her delicate parts, inspecting it thoroughly before tugging both of her legs free and pressing both thighs near her slender waist against the bed.
He reached out a curious hand towards her, touching her parts ever so softly before fiddling around with her pink aroused bud, causing her moans to escape her supple lips uncontrollably. And before long, his entire hand was stained with her dripping nectar.
Nodding in satisfaction at her too-sensitive responses, he proceeded to pick at her two un-bloomed petals, but though they were hidden and wrapped nicely around her virgin parts, they were extremely soaked and slippery. Feeling that it was time to explore deeper into this gold mine, he entered her with a single finger, before digging around her uneven walls curiously while not forgetting to continue rubbing her hardened bud with his thumb.
And before long, the bedding under her was soaked entirely with her overflowing nectar.
Though her body was a virgin, Gu MingYue herself was not, and Liu Yi's constant teasing was almost enough to make her lose her mind, causing her to twist her waist impatiently as if offering him a silent invitation.
"Hm? Does my little one wants it already?" Liu Yi glanced at the impatient beauty underneath him, before reaching down to take off his pants, finally revealing his thickness. His huge and domineering shaft was already rock-solid, and a half-translucent liquid escaped from the mushroom-like tip. After that, he reached out his nectar-filled hand towards her face, "Open your eyes!" He said in a commanding tone.
Gu MingYue opened her eyes shakily, her face flushing into a deeper shade of red as soon as she saw his soaked hand, only to gape in shock as he caressed her lips with the same hand. His gaze deepened dangerously at her reaction, and he forced his nectar-covered fingers into her mouth and stirred it around slightly, before bringing his hand up towards his tall nose.
After deeply inhaling the wonderful scent he gathered, he proceeded to lick his fingers slowly, as if savoring her delicious taste.
Gu MingYue felt a sharp jolt running down her spine as she watched his movements, instantly filling her with lust and desire.
Finally, when he was done, Liu Yi released her previously captured wrists, before kneeling down right above her face as if showing off the beastly shaft he was so proud of. The burning monster was surrounded by bulging blue and purple veins, but though she was already a woman in her past life, this was the first time she had seen a man's genitals at such a close distance.
She was truly embarrassed and ashamed at this point.
"How is it? Do you like it?" He poked her flushed cheek with the tip of his shaft, not moving an inch until she replies.
"Y…yes…" With her face as red as a plum, she nodded slightly and replied in an extremely soft whisper, not knowing that her shyness had sent another hot wave down his abdomen.
This was it, there's no bearing it any longer.
He backed away from her face and returned to the space between her legs. He scooped out a whole handful of nectar and lathered it around his burning shaft, before aiming it against her dripping parts and thrusting it deep within her in one push.
Gu MingYue cried out in tears as the splitting pain of having her cherries popped spread throughout her body from her abdomen. She instinctively tried to push him away, hoping that the tormenting object that had intruded her body would leave, but her efforts were to no avail.
Thankfully, knowing that she was suffering a lot from her first time, Liu Yu held entirely still, allowing her as much time as she needed to get used to him.
But it was extremely difficult for him. Being a virgin, she was already extremely tight, but the pain was causing her warm and bumpy walls to tighten even more around his shaft, and it almost took every inch of his willpower to keep himself in check.
He reached out both hands and began caressing each and every part of her, hoping that it will help with the pain, before moving a little as he kept a watchful gaze on his little wife's expressions.
Her scrunched-up face soon relaxed as her body got used to him, and before long, he could feel the flood gathering within her walls as he gradually increased his speed and strength.
Gu MingYue's moans soon echoed through the entire room, while her legs arched from the pleasure as his untiring tender meat moved in and out of her with no restrain.
Before long, aside from the sound of the impact of their naked bodies, the only sound other than her cries of moans was the slushing sound of her overflowing nectar.
"T…Too fast… Ah! Ah! S…Stop… Ah! En~" Her voice was soft and melodic as she frowned while her half-closed eyes were shone with uncontrollable tears. Her pouty cherry lips were slightly agape, but his unending thrusts were making it hard to speak.
She glanced at him with her shining bright tear-stained eyes, begging for him to allow her some rest, but how could a man be obedient at such a crucial moment? Furthermore, even though her words said no, her legs were wrapped tightly around his strong waist as if leaving him with no choice but to continue with his conquest.
"Insincere little thing~" Liu Yi chuckled softly as he raised her right leg towards her chest, before reaching his other hand behind the back of her head and raising it up, allowing her to watch their connected parts clearly.
"Take a good look at how it's going in and out of you." He said meanly, making her already flushed face turn even more scarlet before he suddenly increased his speed without another word. At this angle, he could clearly see how her soaked petals moved as he thrust. He entered and exited her quickly, easily stirring up their combined nectar into white foam, it was extremely stimulating to watch.
Meanwhile, he wasn't the only one watching, as Gu MingYue, too, was forced to watch this lewd performance. She could feel her body's sensitivity rising as she watched on, this was nothing like what she had felt when she watched the little white lotus did it. All she felt at that time was disgust, but now, she felt as if she was floating on clouds.
Her inner walls contracted suddenly, causing Liu Yi to gasp in wonder, before reaching out both hands to squeeze her full and round buttocks as he brought himself deeper and deeper within her.
"N…No more… Ah~ I…It's too deep… En~ S…Slower… Ah! Ah! Mmph!" Her puckered lips were slightly agape, and her melodious moans were already somewhat hoarse. Liu Yi leaned down and stamped his lips over hers, silencing her moans before slowly taking a taste of the insides of her mouth.
His actions below did not stop, and as his burning hardness moved within her bottom lips, his tongue, too, moved around within her mouth, as if mimicking and matching the movements of his ferocity.
Soon, the rising heat building within Gu MingYue's body reached its peak, and with a sharp scream, she felt as if something exploded within her mind as the burning wave crashed throughout her entire body. Her bumpy walls convulsed violently as her burning nectar splashed out from her like a broken tap, before crashing against the tip of his beast.
"I'm coming!" He gasped eagerly, and with a low growl, he thrust himself deep within her sensitive walls and released a huge amount of fresh and sticky straight into her womb.
Gu MingYue, who was still in a daze from her previous exploding orgasm, cried out once again, as his burning seeds scalded her walls, causing yet another wave to crashed throughout her!
Her entire mind was blank once again, and she was panting like a fish stuck on land, as if gasping for air.
After his ejaculation, Liu Yu did not remove himself instantly from her warmth, instead, he leaned over and kissed her forehead tendering, before leaving behind trails of kisses around her tear-stained eyes and her reddened nose, and finally reaching her swollen lips.
He loved her before, and even more so now after ravaging her thoroughly, "You're finally mine~" He called out softly to her in a heartfelt voice.
Meanwhile, after this entire session of bonding, there was not even a trace of strength left in Gu MingYue's body that when Liu Yu finally pulled out his semi-softened shaft, her limp legs were still in an opened posture, but surprisingly, right under his surprised stare, her slightly agape cum-filled lips retracted back to its original form, as if not allowing any of his seeds to escape her body.
Liu Yi was lost in words, but as his gaze landed on her body, which was now full with his kiss marks and her still-convulsing lower lips, he felt as though the blood within his entire body was once again alive, causing his semi-softened shaft to raise up in dominance once again.
"Y…You… H…How…?" Gu MingYue gaped at him in horror as he pounced on her once more, and before she could react, she felt him flipping her around, causing her face to lean against the mattress while he lifted her buttocks high up into the air.
And without another word, he spread her legs apart and slid himself into her uneven walls once again, ramming her deeply and quickly with no end.
She did not know how many times they did it that night, as she had screamed so much to the point that her throat was hoarse and sore, and her legs were limp and shaking. Never had she went through anything like this in her entire life, it's really tiring…
As she lost consciousness, she could vaguely hear the static voice of her system in her mind.
Congratulations on having sex with the target!
Keep up the good work!
Eh?" She murmured in confusion before falling into a deep slumber.
