Chapter 1 Dead and Alive

Xu Yaoyao is dead.

Many years after the apocalypse, she resolutely decided to die together with the zombie king in order to save the lives of the entire city.

She didn't know how long her soul had been floating around. She thought she was dead, but when she got confused she found herself still alive.

It was pitch black all around, I couldn't see anything, and my body seemed to be still immersed in warm and comfortable water.

Just as she was wondering where she was, an old voice sounded in her ears, sounding very vague.

"Princess, you are in your advanced age and it is very cold outside. It is better not to leave the courtyard."

Then another woman's voice was heard.

"It's okay, Yuanxiang, go and get the new red cloak I made." It was another gentle female voice.

"Yes, Princess." After the woman's voice fell, the sound of footsteps became farther and farther away.

"Princess, are you going to the Imperial College to deliver the newly made winter clothes to the eldest son? It's better to let Yuan Xiang do it. You are in heavy condition now and I don't know when you will give birth." It was the same old voice again.

The gentle voice smiled and said, "How can it be so fast? There is still a month before the due date. Han Yue is studying hard in the Imperial College. I will go to see him."

Princess? Yuan Xiang? Why does this name sound so familiar?

Han Yue? Xu Han Yue?! How come this person looks so much like a character from a book she had read before?

She remembered that one day she passed by a house and went in to search for supplies, and saw this book intact.

Could this princess be Princess Chaoyang of the Fusu Kingdom in the book?
Because she had just finished reading the book not long ago, Xu Yaoyao still remembered the contents of the book clearly.

This Princess Chaoyang is the biggest love-brained person in the book, but also the biggest cannon fodder!

She was the Empress Dowager's favorite youngest daughter and the full sister of Emperor Mingde. She had been pampered since childhood, but because she was in love, she broke off the engagement with the Prime Minister's eldest son and married Xu Jinhuai, a scholar from a humble family.

In a rage, Emperor Mingde cut off contact with Princess Chaoyang.

However, what Princess Chaoyang didn't know was that Xu Jinhuai, who seemed to be deeply in love with her, was actually not a good match for her.

It should be said that Xu Jinhuai's meeting, acquaintance, and love with Princess Chaoyangyang were all a scam designed by him and Yu Yue'er, the princess's personal maid, in order to help Xu Jinhuai escape from his humble status and ascend to the status of a nobleman.

Because Fusu always attached great importance to family background, the person the princess married had to be a noble. Even if he was not, the chosen son-in-law would be conferred the title of marquis after the marriage.

However, Emperor Mingde was angry with Xu Jinhuai because of Princess Chaoyang's disobedience and did not confer a title on him, causing Xu Jinhuai to feel resentful towards Princess Chaoyang.

Although Xu Jinhuai appeared to be deeply in love with the princess, he secretly raised Yu Yue'er, who had been expelled from the palace, in the house next door. He had three sons and two daughters with Yu Yue'er, and even brought these five children into the mansion and exchanged them with Princess Chaoyang's biological children.

The five children of Yu Yue'er, the concubine, enjoyed wealth and splendor in the mansion, while the five children of the princess suffered a lot outside, some were disabled and some died.

Princess Chaoyang, who was obsessed with love, knew nothing about this. After getting married, she devoted herself to respecting her mother-in-law, educating each of her children carefully, working hard and devoting all her energy to them.

Even because of her husband's words "I want to gain a foothold in the court as soon as possible", she lowered her status, often held banquets, and invited the wives of ministers in the court to attend, and implicitly encouraged them to whisper in her master's pillow.

So within ten years, the prince consort went from the lowest rank of ninth-rank official to the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Works. And Xu Ruyu, who was raised by Princess Chaoyang, is the heroine of the book, a fast-travelling woman.

With the title of the legitimate daughter of the princess, she relied on her golden finger to join forces with the hero in the book, wiped out the entire royal family, helped the hero ascend the throne, and became the most honorable queen of the new dynasty.

The several children born to the prince consort and his concubines were all rewarded with titles of nobility and prime ministers for their meritorious service to the emperor, which was a glorious occasion.

After the incident, in order to make Princess Chaoyang make room for her concubine Yu Yue'er, the five children who were raised by Princess Chaoyang held down her hands and feet, broke every bone in her body, and fed her a whole pot of poisoned wine, sending Princess Mingyang to the west. After her death, they left her body exposed in the wilderness.

When Xu Yaoyao read this book from the perspective of the heroine, she did not have much empathy with the cannon fodder.

Now that I think about it, Princess Chaoyang, who was a cannon fodder, was quite pitiful. She simply lived like a joke.

Just as Xu Yaoyao was lamenting the fate of Princess Chaoyang, she suddenly felt suffocated, and then she heard rapid shouts in her ears.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

"I have pains in my stomach, pains that come and go."

"Oh no, Princess, you might be going into labor early! Juxiang, help the princess back to the house!"

"Yuan Xiang, go get the imperial physician and the midwife, quickly, quickly!"

Feeling suffocated again and again, Xu Yaoyao wanted to cover her chest with her hands, but found that her body was wrapped in a thin film.

The dark space, the warm liquid, the thin film, these factors put together, Xu Yaoyao suddenly realized that her current form was actually a fetus!

Could it be that she was not dead, but had traveled through time and space in the book? She had traveled through time and space and became the fetus in the belly of Princess Chaoyang of Fusu? !

She thought carefully about the contents of the book. Princess Chaoyang gave birth to four sons and one daughter. Could she be the little daughter who was used as cannon fodder? !

She remembered the plot in the book. The concubine Yu Yue'er became pregnant a month earlier than the princess. In order to bring Yu Yue'er's child to the princess's mansion to enjoy better life, Xu Jinhuai tampered with the princess's daily food, causing Princess Chaoyang to give birth prematurely.

Therefore, the child was born weak and sickly.

In addition, the midwife who was responsible for delivering the princess was bribed in advance by Yu Yue'er. She deliberately delayed the delivery, causing Princess Chaoyang to suffer a lot. The child was also seriously injured due to premature birth and excessive suffocation, and has been weak and sickly since birth.

In addition, after she was transferred to the concubine Yu Yue'er, she suffered a lot at Yu Yue'er's hands and died when she was less than two years old.

"Princess, try harder, try harder!"

Along with the sound of Princess Chaoyang's continuous efforts, Xu Yaoyao flowed out along with the warm water, and even saw a faint light, but the midwife never started to deliver the baby.

Sure enough, the midwife was deliberately delaying time. She just wanted Princess Chaoyang to suffer.

Thinking that she would become weak and sickly because of this, Xu Yaoyao felt anxious and screamed desperately in her heart.

[Oh my god, the baby is going to die right after being born, mother, help me, someone wants to kill your baby!!!]
