Reborn To Be The Imperial Consort [BL] - Chapter 25: Trembling Buttercup — III

The path of longevity is loneliness, it is solitude, it is the unbearable cold of being at the summit.Reborn in a different world filled with hidden dangers, Song Changsheng fortunately obtains a mysterious Daoist Scripture:Breaking through to Early-stage Qi Refining, he obtains the “Yin Yang Profound Flower Scripture,” absorbing Sun and Moon Essence, cultivating both Yin and Yang.Breaking through to Mid-stage Qi Refining, he obtains the “Breath Concealment Technique,” concealing his aura and obscuring heavenly secrets.Breaking through to Late-stage Qi Refining, he obtains the “Water and Fire Manipulation Technique,” and the world's water and fire become his vanguards.Breaking through to Qi Refining Great Perfection, he obtains the “Delusion-Shattering Pupil Technique” to see through confusion and trace things back to their source.Breaking through to Early-stage Foundation Establishment, he obtains the “Five Beasts Body Refining Technique”...

In life, the most important thing is appearance.To compensate for his lack of good looks, he worked hard for years to reach the peak.However, the reality waiting for him at the end was nothing but betrayal and despair.[The system has been activated.][You have obtained the ‘Handsome’ attribute.]On the brink of death, he gets a second chance at life.Now his goal is clear.[Quest Completed]Reward: Talent obtained through the ‘Handsome’ stat.[New Quest]Task: Become more handsome.“I will become handsome.”

“The masterminds are cooler than heroes,” I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game.Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit.Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not?***[Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.]What?[Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.]Wait, what?![Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.]And, why would I do that?![Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.]Why would I save him?![The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?]Ah! I give up...It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things.In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker.I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need?Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though.I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse!Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is...[Failure: Destruction of the World.]It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped.If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing.[Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.]“If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne.”And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

[Main Story Complete: Evil Female Reforms + Chaotic Scene of Male Rivalry + Satisfying Comeback Story]Su An'an transmigrated into a restricted Beast World novel as the vicious female side character.In the book, the original owner abused the Five Great Beast Husbands: the Mermaid Marshal's ear was severed and bleeding, the White Tiger War God was covered in wounds, the Dark-Jiao Executor's scales were mottled, the powerful Red Fox had all nine of his tails broken, and the top-tier Swan's voice was shattered. Meanwhile, she was stripped of her Princess identity and died tragically on the Black Star.When Su An'an transmigrated, it was already a disastrous start.Seeing that her death countdown was down to only 182 days, Su An'an took out her ancestral medicine box.While treating the mermaid's ear, she accidentally tied the mermaid silk into a bowknot. That night, the mermaid used sonic waves to collapse half the palace, just to hide the ear wrapped in a pink ribbon.While changing the White Tiger's dressing, she scratched the soft fur on his belly. The War God bared his teeth and growled on the surface, but in the middle of the night, he nudged the young woman into the warm fluff of his tiger belly.While mending the Dark-Jiao's scales, her hand trembled, and the gloomy Adjudicator suddenly whipped his tail around her waist: “Touch my Reversed Scale again, and I'll sentence you to life imprisonment.”When the top-tier Swan sneered with a hoarse voice, “Trying to poison my voice again?” Su An'an, in a swift move, made him drink loquat syrup, and his clear singing voice boomed throughout the Whole Star System.Later, on the day the Mutant Beast's toxic fog engulfed the Beast Star, the once-despised Wasted Evil Female appeared with a syringe to save the world, followed by five giant, fluffy creatures vying for her affection: “All of you, shut up! Line up for your vaccines!”
