“She says something and you believe her? If she told you to eat poop, would you?”
“Second Miss, your words are so crude.”
“Harsh words are often honest ones, Third Concubine. In this house, you and I are on the same side.” Jiang Wei began her psychological offensive. “One of us was abandoned by our parents and dragged back to the city only to be forced into a substitute marriage. The other was pushed into marrying an old man in his prime just so her legitimate sister could secure her own position. Don’t we have a common enemy?”
She helped Chen Yiyi to her feet and gently wiped her tears. “Look at you—such a beauty. You should’ve married the man you loved and lived a happy life. Instead, you ended up as a concubine to my perverted scumbag father. And that’s not all. You suffer at night from his abuse and still have to serve Second Concubine and that fake legitimate daughter, Jiang Yan, during the day.”
“Second Miss, how do you know all this?” Third Concubine, filled with grievances, looked at Jiang Wei as if she were an angel—if she could just ignore her ugly face.
From her eyes, Jiang Wei could see the reflection of her own hideous, round, dark face.
She twitched at the corner of her mouth.
That damned black koi Jiang Yan—she sucked the original host’s luck dry, turned Jiang Yunhe into a fool, and made the original body hideously ugly.
“Second Miss?”
“I naturally have my sources. Don’t forget—my maternal grandfather loved me most when he was alive.”
Chen Yiyi lowered her eyes. Second Miss’s grandfather had been a capable man who accomplished many things. Unfortunately, he didn’t live long. On the way to pick her up at age six, he had a so-called ‘accident’, and since then she had been stuck in the countryside for eighteen years.
Jiang Wei pressed her lips together. Accident? Yeah, right.
Her grandfather’s death had been orchestrated by Chen Xiaolian and Jiang Dahai.
Chen Xiaolian didn’t want the original host returning to the Shen family and living better than her daughter.
Jiang Dahai, on the other hand, wanted to swallow the entire Shen family estate—but miscalculated, because the old man had already arranged everything carefully.
Besides the monthly allowance for Shen Peirong’s living expenses, all the rest of the money had been hidden away and entrusted to those loyal to him, waiting to be passed on to the original host when she came of age.
And what did the foolish original host do with that huge sum?
She tried to use the money to “move” her scumbag parents emotionally.
“Ptui!” Jiang Wei spat directly on Jiang Tian’s face.
She didn’t feel the least bit guilty. “Third Concubine, if you have time to play politics, maybe go check on the man who risked his life for you. He doesn’t have many days left.”
“That’s impossible. The eldest miss just gave me medicine for him.”
“Take that medicine to a real doctor and you’ll understand.”
With that, Jiang Wei pushed her out.
Chen Yiyi wanted to say more, but seeing a maid return, she quickly led Jiang Tian and the medicine given by Jiang Yan out of the residence.
“Second Miss, you… what’s wrong?”
The maid had just entered when she saw Jiang Wei jamming her fingers down her throat.
“Mm-mm…” She looked like she couldn’t speak.
“Don’t panic! I’ll go get a doctor right away!” The maid slammed the door shut in panic—locking it as her eyes flashed with a sinister glint.
Second Miss was mute! She had to tell the Eldest Miss immediately!
“Ha.” Jiang Wei, face twisted in feigned paralysis, suddenly sat upright and pulled a palm-sized cube out of her embroidered pouch.
“Untrustworthy system—power on.”
[Host, it’s not that I’m untrustworthy, the system really malfunctioned.]
Jiang Wei ignored it. “The malfunction is fixed. Time to pay up my hundred billion reward, right?”
[Ughhh, but we already compensated you with a huge space villa and a multiverse exchange system…]
Faced with this unreasonable host, the system was on the verge of tears. It howled internally: Why are there so many weirdo hosts these days?!

[Weiwei Overwhelms the World]: Hello all~ Any welcome gifts?
[I Sleep With Hunks in Ancient Times]: Posting hunk bath pic x1. Please download and print, stick it by your bedside.
Uhhh… Jiang Wei quickly saved the image.
[I Sleep With Hunks in Ancient Times]: Hey girl, taking any tasks? @Weiwei Overwhelms the World
[Weiwei Overwhelms the World]: I’m in.
[I Sleep With Hunks in Ancient Times]: Task: Draw a BL illustration. Reward: one Beauty Pill.
Jiang Wei twitched at the corner of her mouth, quickly sketched a spicy BL pic, and sent it off.
[I Sleep With Hunks in Ancient Times]: Nice! Beauty Pill delivered. Swallow whole without water.
Jiang Wei stared at the pill the size of a glutinous rice ball in her palm, her eyelids twitching violently. She crushed it in one slap and swallowed.
As soon as the pill hit her stomach, it felt like her body’s energy channels opened up—primal power surged through her. She dashed into her private space and let it all out.
Afterwards?
She weighed herself and was 20 jin (10 kg) lighter.
Looked in the mirror—her skin was smooth and glowing.
But that was just a surface fix. To fully restore the original host’s beauty, she needed to take back the jade pendant draining her luck.
Ding. The cube lit up—two more members were now online in the multiverse group.
[The Apocalypse Boss Keeps Staring at My Hook]: Task, reward: Invisibility Pill x1
[Table Creep Attacks Me When Lights Are Out]: Task, reward: Strength Pill x1
Invisibility? Strength? Jiang Wei’s eyes sparkled—just what she needed to loot the Jiang family clean.
Before anyone else could take the jobs, she accepted both, sent in the required drawings, and…
[Ding. Host has received: Invisibility Pill x1, Strength Pill x1]
In less than half an hour, she’d acquired so many cheat items. If she kept doing tasks…
[Host, note: today is your newbie gift day. You may accept three missions. Starting tomorrow, you can only take one per day. Please choose wisely.]
Jiang Wei lay weakly. “But I want my hundred billion…”
Silence.
After eating the Invisibility and Strength Pills, she snuck into Jiang Yan’s room.
Jiang Yan wasn’t there.
Passing servants whispered that Madam Shen’s chronic headaches were acting up, and Jiang Yan was performing acupuncture on her.
They said the Eldest Miss was not only dutiful but skilled in medicine—every time she did acupuncture, Madam Shen would sleep soundly.
“Ha.” Invisible Jiang Wei chuckled softly.
How could she not sleep? Her luck was being drained by the black koi—no wonder she’d collapse afterward.
“Who’s there?” A maid heard laughter but saw no one. Spooked, she ran away.
Jiang Wei sighed—Shen Peirong’s bias was buried so deep it probably reached her intestines.
The original host had been shoved into a doghouse, while Jiang Yan’s room was a luxurious haven.
Her bed was a foreign-imported spring mattress—so soft it could swallow a person.
The massive walk-in closet was full of beautiful qipaos, lace dresses, silk robes.
Jewelry boxes overflowed with gold, silver, agate, and pearl ornaments.
Any one of these could’ve improved the original host’s life in the countryside.
Empowered by the Strength Pill, Jiang Wei had immense power. With one hand, she tossed the wardrobe, spring bed, and jewelry boxes into her space.
Once Jiang Yan’s room was emptied, the pill’s effect wore off—but the Invisibility Pill still had half an hour left.
She clapped her hands and boldly strode into Shen Peirong’s room.
At that moment, black smoke was curling over Shen Peirong’s head.
Jiang Yan was actively draining her luck.
Jiang Wei casually walked over, opened her mouth wide, and tossed something into Jiang Yan’s mouth—a mud ball about the size of a glutinous rice ball scraped from the original host’s body.
Jiang Yan, still receiving Shen Peirong’s luck, felt the unexpected round object in her mouth and thought it must be something good.
She swallowed it joyfully—but it was too big and got stuck in her throat.
She could only dig it out with her fingers, crush it, and force it down.
BLEGH…
The sight made Jiang Wei gag in disgust.
