But the world is so vast, and how many can have a next life to start over? It’s rely a whimsical thought.

"Task completed. Would you like to enter the next world?"
Seeing that her Chef God’s Light had advanced another level, Ye Qiu felt satisfied and thus moved on to the next world.
Upon opening his eyes, he imdiately sensed sothing was very wrong with his body, as if his Eight Extraordinary ridians were all blocked, rendering him extrely frail.
He closed his eyes to sort out the plot of this world, finding his suspicions were correct; indeed, his Eight Extraordinary ridians were blocked, and it wasn’t natural—it was man-made.
In a country nad the Daluo Dynasty, he was an Emperor. In theory, the Emperor should be the highest authority of a nation, but in this era, imperial power was weakened, and the true authority belonged to the State Preceptor. He, the Emperor, was just a puppet, a stallion ant to carry on the royal bloodline.
The State Preceptor was nad Gao Zhuo, and no one knew how many years he had lived. So said he was only in his thirties, while others claid he had lived for hundreds of years. But Ye Qiu knew, he was a thousand-year-old monster.
This was not rely a feudal dynasty. Besides ordinary people, there were also Cultivators, among whom the State Preceptor was a highly gifted one.
Though he was an Emperor, he ranked lower than his two brothers. Since childhood, his ridians were blocked, and he couldn’t cultivate. However, his two brothers were naturally gifted and beca disciples of the State Preceptor. In fact, they were more qualified for the throne than Ye Qiu. But they disdained these trivial matters, or making their descendants re puppets, thus pushing Ye Qiu onto the throne instead.
This puppet Emperor was not only belittled by his brothers, but even the concubines in the harem treated him as if he were nothing, all cheating on him. Yet, it wasn’t this that broke him.
In the previous life, he lived half his life, and the only person in the entire palace who was genuinely kind to him was his sister. Unlike him, his sister’s ridians were not blocked, but she had no foundation to cultivate. Her physique was special; she was the best vessel for Spiritual dicine. Though these dicines couldn’t aid her own cultivation, they could help others cultivate.
Once the State Preceptor discovered her physique, her tragic fate began. A Princess of a nation, she beca a forbidden plaything of the State Preceptor, and after suffering humiliations till death, she found no relief, eventually being forged into an Elixir.
The State Preceptor seed to be the major villain of this world. Since there were villains, naturally, there was a hero. The savior was Zhang Yuwen, the Junior Prefect of the capital.
On the surface, Zhang Yuwen was a mber of an aristocratic family, but in actuality, he was taken as a disciple by a celestial master since childhood. When he returned after completing his studies, he found that his childhood sweetheart had beco the Empress of a nation.
Empress Kong Suxin had feelings for this cousin as well, but having been married to Ye Qiu, she felt unworthy of her elegant cousin and suppressed her emotions.
But apart from her, another concubine, Yao Qinxue, also deeply loved Zhang Yuwen. She was once rescued by Zhang Yuwen and devoted her heart to him ever since. By coincidence, they engaged in an indescribable relationship and she even bore his child.
Following Princess Zhaohui’s tragic death at the hands of the State Preceptor, Zhang Yuwen, who usually led a carefree life adhering to his sect’s principles of non-involvent, couldn’t bear the inner tornt and finally confronted the State Preceptor.
These two were both cultivation geniuses. Poor Ye Qiu, caught between them, didn’t even get a chance to avenge his sister before becoming a scapegoat. Naturally, in the end, the protagonist Zhang Yuwen achieved a great victory and married Yao Qinxue, who gave birth to his child.
As for the late Empress, Kong Suxin, she, though envious, despised her tarnished self and could only suppress her jealousy, wishing her cousin and her forr sister a long and happy life together.
Recalling all this, Ye Qiu exhaled a murky breath, unable to hide the gloom on his face.
"Your Majesty, it’s ti to rise. Lord National Master has gone to the Empress Dowager’s palace and invites you to dine together," the Palace Attendant’s gentle voice ca from outside.
"Co in and attend to ," Ye Qiu said weakly.
"State Preceptor, try this fish. I hear it was caught this very morning, and is the freshest possible." As Ye Qiu entered the palace, he heard his Empress Mother’s coquettish voice, and he paused montarily, his face expressionless.
"Did Lord National Master arrive so early today?" He lightly coughed and then saluted his Empress Mother, "Mother, blessings upon you."
"Your Majesty." The State Preceptor did not rise, rely nodded slightly toward him with a cold attitude.
The Empress Dowager seed sowhat displeased, appearing to resent her son for disturbing her ti with the State Preceptor. "Emperor, sit as you please."
"Did Lord National Master call here to instruct on so matter?"
"Last night, I observed the sky’s ons and calculated that the Phoenix Star has appeared. It is ti for Your Majesty to marry."
"Whose daughter might the State Preceptor have calculated?"
"The Kong Family’s."
"My family’s?" The Empress Dowager said in surprise, "I rember I have only one niece, could it be Suxin?"
"Exactly."
"That is truly marvelous, relatives joining relatives. Son, shouldn’t you thank the State Preceptor?"
"Thank you, Lord National Master," Ye Qiu said, forcibly suppressing his anger.
"The fifteenth of next month is a favorable day. By then, I will co to preside over the marriage," the State Preceptor maintained his haughty deanor, stating as if he was bestowing the honor upon Ye Qiu, "I’ve observed Your Majesty’s health is declining further. Here is an Elixir I’ve refined; Your Majesty must take it daily."
Ye Qiu looked at the so-called health Elixir on the table, actually a Poison, and endured once more. If he weren’t physically weak and lacking strength, why else must he adhere to the malicious State Preceptor’s words and tolerate his liaison with his mother?
Sotis he truly doubted, was he really his Empress Mother’s child? Why conspire with outsiders to harm him? They even sent his sister into the hands of this beast.
