Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 378

In the year 3091 of the Alliance Calendar, Monarch Huo Ling and Consort Sheng Nuan passed away hand in hand at a private hospital on the Imperial Star, two hours apart. The elderly couple’s final moments were spent leaning on each other, their expressions serene.

Sheng Nuan’s elder brother, Sheng Siyang’s eldest son Sheng Muhe, was elected as the new Alliance Monarch with the highest number of votes. By this time, the Imperial Alliance had already reached an unprecedented height of power and prosperity…

After the destruction of the Zerg home planet, only a small number of homeless Zerg remained, barely surviving, being hunted down by Alliance forces everywhere.

Having suffered bitterly through the ravages of war, the Imperial Alliance finally ushered in stability and peace…

Statues of Huo Ling and Sheng Nuan stood in the central plaza of the Imperial Star, symbolizing the people’s respect and love for them.

Without Huo Ling’s decisive expedition to the Zerg territories, suppressing all voices of opposition, there would have been no later peace for the Alliance. And without that genius designer who created a whole series of battle armors and warplanes, there would have been no overwhelming victory for the Alliance.

Many years later, that Imperial couple still appeared in the textbooks of the Imperial Alliance…

In the system space, Sheng Nuan opened her eyes and, as expected, heard a cheerful melody. She found it a bit funny, but for some reason felt a strange sense of peace.

Sensing her awakening, the customer service immediately reined in its smug tune and chuckled mischievously: “Host, it’s another S rating.”

Sheng Nuan curled her lips: “Congratulations to us.”

Right after that, she noticed the memories of the previous world fading quickly… starting from the scenes of old age, all dissolving swiftly.

An elegant, short-haired elderly lady danced with others in the park, while beside her sat an old man in a coat and mask in a wheelchair. He suddenly stood up, grabbed her, and led her away, leaving the wheelchair behind…

Then, a middle-aged couple on the Nuanyang Star watched as that once barren land had become a thriving planet. Pedestrians often approached her on the street, hoping for a photo. Then a man stepped off a nearby car with a grim look and dragged her into the car.

Later, there was a young couple… and at this point, the images became frame after frame of scenes not suitable for minors.

On the monarch’s throne, that man grew more solemn and severe day by day, cold and harsh. Yet in front of her, he was always so fierce—especially when it came to the two lumps of flesh on her chest, as if he harbored some bizarre obsession, inventing countless ways to play with them.

The final memory froze on a war-torn mountainside. The young man, drenched in bl00d and chill, lowered his head to kiss the girl in front of him… then that image, too, popped like a soap bubble and vanished with a great burst…

Sheng Nuan blinked. When she tried to recall, there was nothing left.

But she was used to this feeling. Although it left a hint of emptiness, it also made her feel quite relaxed.

She had wondered before, that without this memory-erasing mechanism, carrying all the experiences from world after world, who could say if she would still be able to walk this path to its end?

The customer service, rarely well-behaved, asked her: “Host, do you want to rest a bit before looking at the next mission?”

Sheng Nuan laughed: “Rest for what? Just to chat idly with you here?”

Customer service immediately responded: “Then forget it… Please prepare to receive the new mission world’s storyline.”

In the next moment, the new world’s storyline appeared…

The story originated from a novel set in a world similar to the Republic era, titled ‘Gilded Beauty’. It told the love story of the second young master of the Xu warlord family, Xu Yunqian, from the Yunmu Three Provinces, and the heroine Luo Linlang, a merchant’s daughter who had received a modern-style education.

Xu Yunqian came from a powerful warlord family. His elder brother, Xu Zhengqing, held a large army and dominated the Yunmu Three Provinces, honored as Marshal Xu.

Xu Yunqian had a marriage contract with a distant cousin, Sheng Nuan. But after Sheng Nuan’s parents passed away, when she sought refuge in the Xu family because of the engagement, she discovered Xu Yunqian already had someone he loved, Luo Linlang.

Luo Linlang, open-minded and lively, had been educated in modern ways, while Sheng Nuan, a traditional, conservative lady from a scholarly family, did not appeal to Xu Yunqian at all. He wanted to break the engagement.

To Sheng Nuan, who had been steeped in old cultural etiquette, being rejected in marriage was tantamount to a catastrophic blow. She could only plead her case before Marshal Xu Zhengqing.

Xu Zhengqing was cold and strict, an absolute feudal patriarch. He cared nothing for so-called mutual affection and insisted that an engagement was an engagement. He forced Xu Yunqian and Luo Linlang to break up. He even went as far as to suppress the Luo family, and at the same time, threatened to expel Xu Yunqian from the family to make him yield.

Luo Linlang could not bear it and left quietly without saying goodbye, leaving Yunzhou. Xu Yunqian cut ties with his brother and left the Xu family to search for her.

He traveled almost the entire country… Eventually, he found Luo Linlang in the New Army, and the two joined forces in the war against the invading country of Hai.

During the fiercest battles, the enemy besieged their positions. Xu Yunqian contacted his elder brother Xu Zhengqing for help to defend against the enemy together with the New Army, but Xu Zhengqing refused.

Later, the front lines collapsed, and the chaos spread to Yunzhou. Xu Zhengqing fought the enemy in Yunzhou city for fourteen days and nights… ultimately, he was defeated and died.

Just as Yunzhou city was about to fall, Xu Yunqian arrived with the New Army, saving the entire city…

In the end, Xu Yunqian succeeded to the head of the Xu family. In the following years of continued fighting to defend the homeland, he achieved great meritorious deeds… eventually marrying Luo Linlang.

As for his former fiancée, Sheng Nuan, she returned to her rural hometown and, within a few years, died of depression.

Customer service said: “This time, the client who commissioned the task is precisely this fiancée, Sheng Nuan…”

Sheng Nuan responded: “What does the client want?”

She originally expected that the client might want her to win back the fiancé. But the next moment, she heard customer service say: “The client’s request is… to make the handsome Xu Zhengqing fall in love with her and to be with Xu Zhengqing.”

Sheng Nuan was surprised: “Huh?”

After the customer service explained, she understood. It turned out that shortly after the original host came to the Xu family, she fell in love with the upright and imposing Marshal Xu Zhengqing.

But she was betrothed to the second young master of the Xu family, and Xu Zhengqing was rigidly proper… She did not even dare let him know of her feelings. Because she was certain that if Xu Zhengqing knew her thoughts, he would surely expel this “shameless” woman from the Xu household.

Thus, with her awkward identity as “the second young master’s fiancée,” she remained in the Xu household, clinging to an invisible engagement and a fiancé who never came home, enduring day after day under the strange gazes of others.

Until later, when Xu Zhengqing died, she never dared to show a trace of her affection. In the end, she returned to her old home with Xu Zhengqing’s memorial tablet and died of depression.

A woman who had nothing, trapped by conservative feudal traditions, so cautious that she never had any intense love or hate. All she asked for was this humble, unspoken love…

Sheng Nuan answered: “Got it.”

The previous world was rated S again. Sheng Nuan carried over part of her martial prowess, ensuring she had the ability to protect herself.

As for choosing a new buff, since she did not currently feel any particular need, Sheng Nuan decided to wait until the need arose.

Hearing her say she would choose later, the customer service chuckled mischievously, “Normally, that’s not allowed, but since we’re trending right now, it’s absolutely no problem!”

Sheng Nuan curled her lips. “Let’s begin.”

Customer service cheered: “Alrighty then, Host, onto the new world…”

Her vision went dark and then brightened again. Sheng Nuan heard a decisive male voice.

“Anyway, I will never marry Sheng Nuan… whoever wants to marry her can go ahead!”
