According to the plot, she was supposed to poison the tyrant on her wedding night, but the tyrant saw through her plan at a glance, and she drank the poisoned wine and died.
When Qi Niao transmigrated, the original owner was poisoning the nuptial wine.
She immediately smashed the wine jug, hid the deadly poison, put on a veil, and sat back in her original position.
To hell with the plot! She doesn't want to be cannon fodder!
-
The new ruler of the Feather Clan, Fu Yao, was born weak and sickly, with a violent, suspicious, and ruthless personality. He was quick to kill when he was in a bad mood, making him an absolute tyrant.
After the princess was sent for the peace treaty, she knew that this person had also come to assassinate her.
To everyone's surprise, once inside the bridal chamber, the bride, who was supposed to be waiting for her to drink the nuptial wine with her, actually fell asleep sitting up!
Fu Yao: Keep pretending. I'll see how long you can keep up this act!
-
In order to survive, Qi Niao deliberately avoided any activities that might trigger the plot and spent her days lying down in her bedroom.
Planting flowers, reading books, and occasionally prescribing medicine for myself to maintain health—life is peaceful and serene.
One day, the tyrant's condition suddenly worsened, and all the doctors were at a loss.
In order to keep her powerful backer, Qi Niao used the guise of visiting her to see her for medical treatment.
But just as she got a feel for the tyrant, a cold hand grabbed her waist!
"I've finally caught you, you little liar."
Qi Niao: ? ? !
Chapter 2
[First attempt at tea discourse successful! Tea flavor score +1. Keep up the good work, host!]
Hearing the system notification in her mind, Wen Yun shuddered, but also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the system's judgment is not so rigid. She only needs to be responsible for teasing and teasing, and does not need to output those strange remarks only to the protagonist.
The driver was taken aback and quickly said, "Of course I don't mind!" He then slowed down the accelerator.
Wen Yun looked at the girl in the back row again and saw that she had gradually stopped coughing, but tears had already streamed down her face, making her look very disheveled. She glanced around and finally took out a bag of unopened tissues from the original owner's bag.
She intended to hand it over silently, but instead, tea-related sayings and phrases automatically popped into her mind, and more and more of them appeared.
Knowing the system was reminding her to make a suggestive statement, Wen Yun thought for two seconds while looking at the sentences. She handed over a tissue and said in an embarrassed tone, "I don't know why, but I suddenly wanted to give you something. You won't refuse, will you?"
Meeting Ruan Yu's reddened eyes and astonished gaze, Wen Yun habitually revealed a corporate slave's smile.
[Tea flavor level +1]
As the notification sound rang, she noticed the girl's gaze turn wary, but the next second, the girl took the tissue she offered.
"Thanks."
Ruan Yu's voice was slightly hoarse, soft and gentle.
The words used most often to describe the protagonist in the original text are cowardice and weakness. But whether it was her imagination or not, Wen Yun didn't hear a hint of these two words in her tone, which surprised her.
However, she was carefree and didn't think much of it. She nodded and turned back.
Completely unaware, the girl's gaze had turned cold.
Before she got home, Wen Yun opened her attribute panel.
Current name: Wen Yun
Current survival time: 24 hours
Tea flavor level: 2 points
Interpersonal relationships: [Click to expand]
Wen Yun thought for a moment, then opened the exchange shop to check the items that could be exchanged.
"The host has just entered this world and does not yet have sufficient permissions. For now, you can only view the products in the beginner's shop."
As soon as she opened the shop, she heard a system notification: "Once the host's accumulated tea flavor reaches a certain value, you can unlock a higher level of the shop!"
The beginner shop only offers two types of items: a beginner life-extending card that grants 1 point of tea flavor and extends life by 3 hours, and a mysterious item that grants 10 points of tea flavor per draw.
Wen Yun used all her tea flavor points to exchange for two "basic life-extending cards," extending her life by 6 hours. After confirming that her survival time had been changed to 30 hours, she was about to start developing interpersonal relationships when the car suddenly stopped slightly.
She subconsciously looked up and saw a three-story European-style villa standing in front of her through the dark iron gate, bathed in a soft, warm orange glow from the afterglow of the setting sun.
The car waited quietly in front of the iron gate. After a few seconds, the gate opened automatically, and a middle-aged woman in a black uniform bowed to them. Behind her was a man in a black uniform. After the car slowly drove in, the woman walked to the side of the car and elegantly made a "please" gesture.
Wen Yun had never seen such a scene before. Even though she had inherited the original owner's memories and knew that these were the butlers and bodyguards hired by the Wen family, she was still taken aback for a moment.
However, she quickly regained her composure and, after the driver got out of the car, whispered to Ruan Yu in the back seat, "I have a few things to remind you of, but don't be nervous."
Before Ruan Yu could respond, she continued, "This is your home, so don't look around, or people will dislike you. After you see your parents, you must try to get a room on the second floor, understand?"
Her experience of reading countless transmigration novels taught her the importance of "transmigrating into a novel and clinging to the protagonist's coattails."
What's more, this is the protagonist she feels so resentful about. Since she has the chance to transmigrate into this frustrating book, she thought she might as well help the protagonist change his fate as well.
It's always good to treat the main character well.
The car door next to her suddenly opened, and Wen Yun quickly turned back and got out of the car first.
After getting off the bus, her attention was entirely focused on Ruan Yu.
It was only then that she realized how "rustic" the protagonist's current appearance was for a wealthy family.
Her skin was rough and dark, clearly indicating that she often worked outdoors in the sun. Although her hairstyle was a standard "student haircut" and she looked well-behaved, her bangs were too long and covered her eyes, making her appear somewhat gloomy. Her short-sleeved shirt and trousers were old and faded from washing, and her white canvas shoes were also slightly yellowed.
Fortunately, the protagonist straightened her back the moment she stood up, and her gaze did not wander due to curiosity and nervousness. Although her eyes were still red, the tears had been wiped away, and the tissues given to her earlier were hidden in her schoolbag.
It seems the protagonist is willing to listen to her.
Wen Yun smiled with relief and instructed the bodyguard who came to collect the luggage: "Xiao Yu's luggage is in the trunk. It contains her valuables, so please handle it with care!"
The bodyguards followed silently behind them, while the housekeeper led the way, also without uttering a word.
As Wen Yun followed the butler toward the villa, she recalled the original story. She remembered that at this time, the original owner teased the curious protagonist, indirectly making the protagonist realize that even though he had the blood of a wealthy family flowing in his veins, he was now just an outsider from the countryside.
Perhaps because of her reminder, the protagonist showed no curiosity whatsoever. He kept his eyes level and walked with an air of neither arrogance nor servility, exuding an inexplicable elegance in his every move.
Wen Yun even felt that even if the original owner were to speak, she might not be able to find suitable words of conversation.
The moment the thought crossed her mind, a template for "green tea" (a derogatory term for a manipulative or manipulative woman) speech popped into her head, appearing like a barrage of suggestive phrases, seemingly urging her on:
"You've lived in the mountains since you were a child, and you've never seen such a big house before, have you? It's okay, you can feast your eyes on it today, and look at it for as long as you want."
“This is your real home. I’m just someone who’s taken over. From now on, Mom and Dad will definitely side with you. But I have such deep feelings for this place. I’m so sorry. I don’t know what to do to be fair to you and Mom and Dad…”
"I didn't mean to take over your house. I didn't know anything before. You should forgive me, right?"
Wen Yun:......
She felt her blood pressure was about to rise.
"Is it absolutely necessary to tell me?" she asked the system.
"The host can choose not to say," the system replied, "but it is recommended that the host accumulate as much tea flavor as possible in the early stages."
"Then I won't say anything," Wen Yun refused without hesitation.
system:"……"
When it fell silent, the templates of tea-related sayings that appeared in Wen Yun's mind also disappeared.
"Don't rush, there will be plenty of time to 'brew tea' later," Wen Yun said. "By the way, can you turn off the tea flavor indicator? I'll check it from time to time."
She always felt uncomfortable with the "Tea Flavor Level +1" notification sound, as if a boss was standing behind her supervising her work.
"Okay, it's closed."
Wen Yun was so focused on talking to the system that she didn't notice the protagonist walking beside her lowering his head slightly, his bangs casting a shadow in front of his eyes.
The Wen family villa resembled a castle; its very outline was breathtaking for Wen Yun. Once inside, she felt as if she were in a dream.
Everything was exactly as described in the original text. The color scheme of the floor, ceiling, and furniture was quite bright, and a huge crystal chandelier could be seen at a glance, layered like a cake, radiating a rose gold glow.
Further inside, there is a spiral staircase with its railings carved into a design of thorns and roses intertwined, elegant yet unrestrained.
A huge landscape embroidery hangs on the living room wall, extending all the way to the second-floor ceiling. The storage compartments on either side of the embroidery contain expensive decorative items such as root carvings and jade and agate ornaments, and the storage compartments themselves are made of the finest wood.
The living room and dining room are separated by a tropical fish tank with a wide variety of fish that dazzled Wen Yun.
After a casual glance around, Wen Yun felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were surrounded by mountains of gold and silver.
Wen Yun: The Country Bumpkin Is Me.jpg
Turning her gaze away, she saw Mr. and Mrs. Wen sitting on the leather sofa, scrutinizing Ruan Yu standing beside them. On the expensive wooden coffee table, four European-style bone china teacups with different patterns, each reflecting the user's status, were already arranged.
The next second, a new template for tea-related sayings popped into Wen Yun's mind again:
"Mom and Dad! I'm so envious of Xiaoyu's tanned skin. I wonder how much sun she has to bask in to have it."
“…Let’s turn off the template too,” Wen Yun couldn’t help but say. “I’ll look at it myself when I need to.”
After crossing out the template, Wen Yun looked at the two elders of the Wen family, gritted her teeth, and called out "Dad and Mom" in a coquettish tone. However, she did not sit down next to them. Instead, she hugged Ruan Yu's arm and tried her best to put on the brightest smile: "I've brought Xiao Yu back!"
"Hello, Mom and Dad." Ruan Yu bowed slightly to Wen's parents, her voice calm, showing neither joy nor excitement, nor timidity or apprehension.
"My daughter!" Instead, it was Wen's mother who stood up and walked towards them. After murmuring this, tears streamed down her face. "It's all your fault, your father and I. You've suffered so much all these years!"
However, just as she reached out her hand to Ruan Yu, Ruan Yu took a half step back and said apologetically, "Mom, I'm sorry, I got carsick on the way here. Can I take a shower and change my clothes first?"
Wen Yun stood to the side, and seeing her mother withdraw her outstretched hand, she felt disgusted, but said aloud, "Mom, this is Xiaoyu's first time here, and she's not familiar with the environment yet. Can I accompany her to the bathroom?"
“Alright, you can go ahead.” Mrs. Wen nodded hurriedly, then turned and instructed, “Aunt Ge, prepare clothes and toiletries for Xiaoyu.”
"Aunt Ge" was the housekeeper who brought them here. She had been standing aside waiting for tea, and upon hearing this, she immediately agreed and headed for the stairs.
Wen Yun immediately pulled Ruan Yu along, but before they had gone a few steps, they heard Wen's mother's voice again: "Yunyun, the public bathroom is on the right..."
“But Xiaoyu is the real daughter of the Wen family, your own flesh and blood. I should take her to the private bathroom on the second floor!” Wen Yun interrupted, looking confused, but said matter-of-factly.
