5.6 – He had been a giant plug-in in the last life, so this lifetime he was really unlucky

Zhenguo General’s Manor was a very mysterious place. The Zhan family did not have many members, and when it came to Zhan Shaoxi’s generation, he was the only one left.
Zhan Shaoxi was a young hero and liked to stay in the barracks, seldom returning to stay at home. Even after reaching adulthood, he took no concubines or mistresses because he had no parents to arrange these things for him. After Wenren Hong married into the family, she could be considered to be the only wife in the back court, so the manor was still very empty.

Right now, everyone in the entire General’s Manor knew that there was disharmony between the General and his wife…
It could not be regarded as disharmony, but on the night of the wedding, the General annoyed his wife, and so he had been continuously rejected and left outside the door.
After the trip back to visit the Emperor, news once again came from the back court. The Lady had saved a young and immature teenager. He was bright and cute, but did not like to talk, and after he had woken up, he was full of hostility towards everything around him. It was only when the Lady approached that his temperament would become more gentle.
This made the General extremely angry. He walked around with an icy expression all day long, and the sour smell of vinegar filled the entire General’s Manor.
The servants really enjoyed watching the funny interactions between the couple. Most of them had watched the General grow up, and always felt somewhat hopeless about their General’s difficult and cold-tempered personality. They were surprised to find that the newly married Lady could make the General think of something other than running off to the barracks all day, and were even more shocked to discover that she could make the General suffer a setback.
They were quite delighted to be spectators.
Xue Ling did not care what the people in the Manor thought of him. It was only that occasionally when he passed by, they would look at him with gazes filled with worship, which he found to be quite strange. Then, he promptly tossed those gazes to the back of his head.

No matter how the plot changed, the personalities of the male protagonists would not change much. The child Xue Ling picked up was based off the trends from the year that it was written, and the damned child was very adorable when he was being domineering. Xue Ling guessed that the popularity of this loyal puppy should have been very high, and this fellow was one hundred percent a worshipper of beauty. After opening his eyes, the most beautiful person he saw was Xue Ling, so he liked to pester him. When his wounds had not yet recovered, he wanted Xue Ling to comfort and accompany him, and after his wounds were healed, he liked to follow behind Xue Ling.
He would act like a spoiled child, pretend to be obedient, staring at others with his pair of large and innocent eyes. Even Xue Ling, who felt that he had very strong willpower, would sometimes find himself turning soft-hearted under that gaze.
Often, when this happened, the General who was suffering terribly but still insisted on maintaining his dignity could only bite his handkerchief in the distance and mentally imagine stabbing the young man named Xia Yang half to death with a knife.
Xue Ling thought it was fun to tease this little loyal dog, and he could even bully Zhan Shaoxi at the same time. With that in mind, he felt that he might as well play a bigger game this time around.
Since the charm of the heroine was so great, then he would use his charm as well, and they could compete. The main plot of this book revolved around the heroine reeling in the seven men, and as long as he took them away in advance, the female protagonist would not get their hearts even if she managed to get their bodies.
In any case, he was already the “Royal Princess”. It would be boring if he didn’t properly make use of this “female” status.
System: “…” The host’s ideas were becoming more and more dangerous. Why would he purposely make it more difficult for himself? “Does the great host remember that he is a married woman…”
As soon as the system mentioned this, Xue Ling’s eyes turned to the General who stood outside the pavilion pretending to practice martial arts, but in actually had kept his gaze fixed on Xue Ling as he lounged within the pavilion the whole time.

“You can’t seduce other men if you’ve already become a married woman?”
System: “…”
Xue Ling sneered. “Did I say I was planning to cheat?”
System: “…”
“Do you know what silent attraction is? Do you know what a white moonlight is? Being the unattainable perfection in someone’s heart?” He lips curved up as he smiled lazily, the smile so brilliant that Zhan Shaoxi felt his eyes hurt. It was clear that the other side was laughing, but why did he feel his heart getting colder and colder? “Do you know what the expression ‘the things you can see but cannot touch are the best’ means?”
System: “…”

Its host could always be very reasonable, and make it so that it was unable to come up with a way to respond.
“But it will be difficult to attract certain people with the host’s current identity as the Royal Princess… For example, male number two… He’s a modest gentleman, and would absolutely not be interested in a married woman.”
There is some truth to this. Xue Ling touched his chin and said, “Then I’ll approach him as a man. Making someone bent is also really fun.”
System: “…” In the future, a whole forest of green will appear on the General’s head.
xiin: Forest of green – reference to the green hat, which is a metaphor for someone who is being cuckolded.
“Princess?” Xue Ling was still deep in thought when Xia Yang returned with a bunch of flowers. He stuffed the potted flowers into Xue Ling’s chest and laughed brilliantly as he said, “Here you are, beautiful flowers for a beautiful rainbow.”
xiin: Xue Ling’s name in this world is Wenren Hong. ‘Hong’ means rainbow.

The tip of Zhan Shaoxi’s sword overshot; he had made a mistake. He returned his sword back into its scabbard, turned his head, and stared at Xia Yang with cold eyes.
This person was deeply hidden. He was clearly black-hearted to the bone, but pretended to be a little white flower in front of Xue Ling, acting like an innocent child, and performing some childish acts in order to please him.
This kind of thing made Zhan Shaoxi very unhappy. That’s his wife! Normally, no man other than himself should be able to get so close to her, but now that teenager’s head was so close!
The more he looked, the more he wanted to cut off the other person’s head.
