Chapter 1 You are Qingyu
"I don't even remember who I am, do you?"
The charming woman lay leisurely on the exquisite embroidered couch, her graceful figure and curves fully revealed, exuding a delicate and tender demeanor.
As she spoke, her lips parted slightly, her voice soft and magnetic, seemingly capable of captivating the soul and drawing people in irresistibly.
The system sighed upon seeing this.
Sure enough, its host woke up looking the same as before, with a face that looked like it could bring ruin to the country.
"You are Qingyu, and I am your system. We need to do a mission now. You should be able to feel how weak you are, right?"
The system's reminder made Qingyu lower her eyes; she had naturally noticed something was wrong with her body from the very beginning.
The inside was empty; there wasn't a single bit of power in the dantian.
Although she has lost her memory, she remembers that she should be strong and confident, unlike how she is now.
Is all I can do is lie in this bare space and pretend to be a sick beauty?
Thinking of this, Qingyu sighed, her frail and delicate appearance evoking pity. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the system, "Then...then you can't bully me too much, okay?"
The system's lips twitched, its face darkened, and it turned its head away as if it were an eyesore, gritting its teeth as it said, "Don't give me that deadpan act. I'm a system, a system without emotions, understand?"
Besides, they've known each other for so many years. Qingyu is a scheming and treacherous woman inside. Does she think she doesn't know?
Upon hearing this, Qingyu immediately composed herself, gently wiping away the remaining tears with her jade-like hand, giving off a "you're so boring" look, which made the system want to hit her even more.
Then she asked in a sweet voice, "When are we going to do the mission? If you won't cooperate with me, I'll find someone else to cooperate with me."
Her smile and the way her eyes sparkled with charm were simply irresistible.
The system directly took out a panel and selected a world.
"Our task is to play the villainous female supporting character. The more villainous you are, the more malice points you will get, and the better it will be for you. Your role is to promote the development of the male and female leads and do your job well!"
The system pronounced the last few words very heavily, and Qingyu understood its meaning. She couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes crinkling. "I know, it's just playing a role. By the way... since you know me so well, do you also know about my life before I lost my memory?"
"Since you knew, why didn't you tell me?"
The entire system froze for a long time before mechanically replying, "You don't need to know about the past."
After saying that, it abruptly changed the subject, saying, "I'll send you to the little world now."
Before Qingyu could react, it opened a portal of light and pushed Qingyu inside.
Qingyu felt a wave of dizziness. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an elegant courtyard.
This courtyard was truly exquisite and luxurious. A path was paved with bluestone, and exotic flowers and plants were growing all around, vying for attention. Qingyu spotted several kinds of rare and precious flowers at a glance.
Not to mention the swing made of fine wood next to it, and the tea set on the jade table...
Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her lips.
Well, it seems like her life is good, and she won't suffer. She's afraid of hardship.
After looking around, Qingyu realized that the original owner had been dozing off next to this jade stone, and now she was holding a book in her hand...
Qingyu glanced at it casually; the content was a storybook, nothing interesting, so she gently closed the book.
She picked up the teacup with her delicate fingertips, smelled it, and was about to take a sip when she saw a maid in pink approaching. She was dignified and walked with a quick gait.
She slowly put down her teacup, and then heard the other person say respectfully, "Miss, you've finally woken up. Dinner has been prepared for you in the manor. Please move to the front hall to dine."
Qingyu hasn't received the memories yet and doesn't recognize the person in front of her, so she calmly waved her hand and said, "You can go now, I'll be there in a bit."
The voice was clear and melodious, making the maid's heart tremble. She subconsciously looked up and met those captivating eyes.
She was beautiful, like an alluring fairy.
The maid blushed instinctively, feeling that her mistress seemed to be getting more and more beautiful...
Qingyu ignored the maid. A thought struck her, and she mentally called out, "System?"
"I thought you wouldn't call me." The system's indifferent voice carried a hint of relief, and then it directly transmitted all the plot and memories to Qingyu.
Before the latter could react, memories began to surface in his mind.
Qingyu silently sorted through the plot. For some reason, it seemed to be her natural habit, and within a few minutes she had a general understanding of the entire plot.
Her current body is indeed that of a young lady from a wealthy family, but it's fake.
Now she is Ji Qingyu. For the first sixteen years, she was the apple of the eye of the Ji family. The Ji family are distant relatives of the current empress. Although they are merchants, they are a special existence among the powerful and nobles because of their relationship with the empress.
Ji Qingyu, as the eldest daughter of the Ji family, was not good at any of the arts, such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was raised in seclusion and was both naive and spoiled.
If things had continued as they were, with the Ji family's resources, outsiders could only envy Ji Qingyu. However, a change occurred when she turned sixteen. The Ji family suddenly discovered that the daughter they had raised for over a decade was not their biological child.
The biological daughter ended up living with a peasant woman in the countryside for over ten years!
Once this incident occurred, the struggle and tug-of-war between the real and fake heiresses began.
Qingyu skimmed through the first half; the rest of the plot mostly revolved around how she schemed against the real heiress and how she was humiliated...
In short, as long as the real heiress is around, she'll be getting slapped in the face every day!
"System, I'm so beautiful, delicate and easily pushed over... What if they beat me up if you make me the bad guy?" Qingyu's eyes trembled as if she were afraid, her long eyelashes like a fan, touching people's hearts.
The system immediately denied it, saying, "The ones you're going up against are all like the female lead, male lead, and male supporting character. They're all people with status and good manners, and they won't just lay a hand on you!"
"As for you... don't mess around! Just focus on your mission and play your role!"
The system's words revealed a hint of seriousness and earnestness. It had gone to great lengths to revive this thing, and it was genuinely afraid that this thing would court death on its own!
Upon hearing this, Qingyu's eyes sparkled with a strange light, shimmering with brilliance. She chuckled softly, "You know me so well~"
The tone was indescribably alluring.
The system's face darkened; it was too lazy to deal with this person anymore and directly issued the next step of the task: [During dinner, the Ji family announced the truth about the real and fake heiresses. You must be the first to disagree; this is unreasonable!]
Qingyu lowered her eyes slightly. "Making a scene? That's her specialty. No matter how much she messes up, her character will only be kicked out later in the story."
Well, as long as I don't have to live a hard life, that's fine.
Thinking this, Qingyu gracefully rose and her slender, elegant figure walked slowly towards the front hall.

lobby.
It was a rare occasion for the entire Ji family to sit together around the dining table.
Ji's father and mother were filled with worry, while Ji Qingying sat upright beside them. Upon closer inspection, her brows and eyes showed a hint of relief.
Beside him were his youngest daughter, Ji Qingbao, and his two illegitimate daughters. Ji Qingbao was usually out traveling around at this time, but now he was unusually confined to the house for meals, and he was getting a little impatient.
