Chapter 2045
The Rise of the Concubine's Daughter 1
More than ten years later, the emperor was about to pass away.
He was not very satisfied with his sons; they were all unambitious but mostly incompetent.
The few with sufficient ability have already become so engrossed in their infighting that if any one of them were to rise to power, the others would not fare well and might even lose their lives.
The emperor's paternal instincts kicked in, and he wished that his sons could all live well.
Therefore, only someone who had no grudges against these sons could be put in power.
After considering a number of candidates, the emperor set his sights on the original owner's son.
The original owner's son was taught to be exceptionally well, thanks not only to the original owner's instruction but also to the emperor's personal guidance.
The emperor pitied the child for having no father and often brought him to his side.
The child learned a great deal from being around the emperor.
The emperor then abdicated while he was still able to move, handing the throne over to his grandson.
With him backing the child up, not a single prince dared to object.
Afterwards, the princes quickly accepted the fact that their nephews had ascended the throne, as long as it wasn't their mortal enemies who had taken the throne.
The original owner became the Empress Dowager, the most noble woman in the world.
Her favorite pastime was drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and observing the plot of this world's male and female protagonists: the female protagonist was the daughter of her best friend. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and Liu's best friend belonged to the same group as Liu. Her best friend's daughter, raised by her mother from a young age, had also become that kind of person.
She appears calm and elegant on the surface, but is actually very ambitious; a green tea bitch.
The male lead is the tenth son of the late emperor, and is ten years older than the female lead.
The male protagonist already has a principal wife, concubines, and a group of mistresses, but that doesn't stop him from truly loving the female protagonist.
In her previous life, the original owner's deceased husband lost his eligibility to compete for the throne due to the Fifth Prince's machinations, so he supported the male protagonist to ascend the throne.
After the male protagonist ascends to the throne, he selects concubines, and the female protagonist enters the palace, thus beginning her magnificent career of harem struggles, eventually becoming the empress and empress dowager.
In this life, the one who ascends the throne is the original owner's son.
The female lead also participated in the talent show.
The original owner watched the entire talent show process, and when he saw the female lead, his face showed disgust.
A dutiful son would never bring a woman who displeases his mother into the palace, even if the female lead is truly beautiful.
The female protagonist was rejected, which damaged her self-esteem, and she fell seriously ill after returning home.
However, her connection with the Tenth Prince is very deep and not easily broken.
After recovering from her illness, the female protagonist went to a temple to burn incense and encountered the tenth prince.
The tenth prince fell in love with her at first sight.
In order to obtain this beauty, the tenth prince did the same thing as the third prince in his previous life, ruthlessly drugging his own wife.
However, the tenth prince did not dare to target his principal wife, whose family was powerful, and only dared to target his concubines.
The tenth prince married the female lead and made her his concubine.
After the female protagonist enters the royal palace, she begins a power struggle within the household.
In the end, she defeated the principal wife and became the principal wife herself, and then the dowager concubine.
The original owner watched the show from the sidelines, thoroughly enjoying himself.
……
After separating from the original owner's body, Liu Tong did not leave the small world. Instead, she was persuaded to stay by the Little Heavenly Dao, who helped her eliminate the resentment of another person.
That person was named Yun Qiao, and she was the illegitimate daughter of an official.
According to the original plan, Yun Qiao would marry a scholar who had passed the imperial examination and was from a wealthy family.
Her husband's family is wealthy, so her life after marriage won't change much; she'll continue to live a life of luxury and comfort.
Her husband was also ambitious and tactful, adapting well to officialdom. With the help of his father-in-law and brother-in-law, he rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a first-rank official. Yun Qiao's life was truly happy.
But then a woman transmigrated and became Yun Qian, another illegitimate daughter of the Yun family.
Yun Qian and Yun Qiao didn't get along, and when they were arguing, they both fell into the pool.
Yun Qiao recovered after falling ill, and Yun Qian was indeed transported to another world.
The time traveler believed that Yun Qiao had killed the original owner of the body, so he was determined to avenge the original owner and settle the karmic debt.
Her so-called revenge was to seduce Zhang Yu, Yun Qiao's husband from her previous life, so that he would fall deeply in love with her and refuse to marry Yun Qiao.
However, Yunqian did not marry Zhang Yu, because she felt that Zhang Yu's status was too low and he was not good enough for her.
She earned the reputation of a talented woman by plagiarizing the poems of powerful figures from her previous life, and eventually married Qin Tong, the Marquis of Ning'an, becoming a high-ranking lady of the marquis, showing off in front of Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao's reputation was damaged by Yun Qian's scheme, and she was married to a playboy. Later, she was infected with a sexually transmitted disease by her husband and chose to commit suicide.
Liu Tong frowned; he despised transmigrators with no moral compass whatsoever.
Liu Tong: "How come there are time travelers in your world?"
Little Heavenly Dao cried: There's nothing I can do! Isn't it because His power is still too weak? I don't know when someone broke through my back door.
Liu Donghan: You'd better strengthen yourself quickly.
After saying that, he entered the world again.
This time, he possessed the body again, and in order to help Yun Qiao, he had to stay by Yun Qiao's side.
After searching high and low, only one person met the conditions for possession and had some connection with Yun Qiao.
Liu Tong possessed the daughter of Yun Qiao's stepmother's sister.
The little girl was spoiled by her own mother; she has a willful, selfish, and unlikable personality, and is even somewhat malicious.
She got into an argument with another young lady outside, and when she couldn't win, she became wicked and wanted to push the young lady into the lake to drown her.
As a result, the young lady avoided it, but she herself fell into the lake.
The original body drowned, and Liu Dong entered her body.
Liu Tong disliked the little girl, and even though he had incurred the karmic consequences of taking her place, he did not want to repay them. He simply passed on a message to Xiao Tiandao, telling him to handle it as he saw fit.
Upon receiving the order, Xiao Tiandao immediately took action to eliminate the karmic ties between Liu Dong and the little girl, kicking the little girl into the underworld.
Whether she is reborn as a human or an animal depends on the outcome of her past good and bad deeds.
It seems the little girl will be able to be reincarnated as a human.
However, she can only be born into a poor family to suffer; she will never be a rich person again.
Liu Dong lay in bed pretending to be sick.
As soon as he entered the little girl's body, she was cured.
He is currently mainly cultivating in bed, hoping to gain power as soon as possible.
Well, after reincarnating in the Rabbit Kingdom for so long, he's developed the rabbits' fear of insufficient firepower.
However, even while "recuperating," there are some things that can be done, such as crippling the original owner's father's third leg.
The original owner's personality was spoiled by her own mother.
The original owner's mother came from a prominent family, so she should have no problem raising her children. Her older brother and sister, for example, were raised quite well.
But the original owner's biological father was no good; he was a womanizer and a scoundrel.
When the original owner's grandparents were alive, the original owner's biological father didn't dare to be too presumptuous and treated his legitimate sons and daughters fairly well.
But after his grandparents passed away, Liu's father started to live freely, constantly bringing beautiful women into the family.
Now, besides the three Liu siblings, Liu's father has ten children born out of wedlock. (End of Chapter)
