1: Chapter opening matches the female emperor system, dog system, are you kidding me! ?

“Brain Cafeteria, open late at night.”

“Brains, come eat your brains...”

“PS: To prevent the protagonist from being too bland and lacking personality, I’ve added some character arcs. As a ‘little dark fan’ who has transmigrated for two and a half years, the protagonist, though invincible, starts off a bit timid. However, through experience, he gradually becomes arrogant and disregards all rules.”

“...I’m so nervous. When it’s time to choose a grave, I must pick an awesome one!”

“You? Give it up. You’ve never won the lottery in this life. Be grateful if you can even pick a monster’s corpse!”

“Heaven help me, please let me choose a powerful corpse. I’m relying on this corpse to defy fate and change my destiny!”

...At theyizhuang, just past midnight.

A cold wind howled, carrying a bone-chilling coldness.

In the distant wilderness, there were occasional wolf howls, and the entireyizhuangwas enveloped in an eerie silence.

Hundreds of students stood neatly among the gravestones, each with a mix of tension and anticipation on their faces.

Lin Mo stood at the very back of the line, looking down at his pale fingers.

His palms were slightly sweaty, a sensation brought on by nervousness and terror.

Among so many students present,

only he... felt fear.

Because he wasn’t originally from this world.

Two and a half years ago... Lin Mo was holed up in his rented apartment, watching “The Ring.”

As Sadako slowly crawled out of the TV,

her eyes fixed on the camera, a blinding white light burst from the screen, enveloping him.

After a dizzying sensation, he arrived in this unfamiliar world, and today was his contract day.

At some unknown point, in this world... various places began to undergo inexplicableWeird(eerie transformation) without warning.

Forming dangerous and eerie instances, each full of deadly perils.

Of those who entered, nine out of ten never returned.

Under the ravages of these terrifying disasters, the human population sharply declined.

Once prosperous cities became ruins, civilization nearly collapsed, and the extinction rate reached a horrifying seventy percent.

To combat this terrible situation, humanity constantly sought a turning point for survival.

Later,

some areas began large-scale graveyard transformations, and people discovered that

the corpses in these graveyards seemed to hide special powers.

Thus, when everyone turned 18, they would usher in this crucial Contract Day.

They could randomly draw a corpse from a graveyard.

Some were the bodies of powerful monsters from their past lives, while others were human remains.

Once contracted with them, they could nurture the corpse, becoming a Ghost Servant.

Gaining special abilities to counter these terrifying disasters... Just then, Teacher Wu, the homeroom teacher, walked quickly to the center of the graveyard.

Her fitted professional attire outlined sharp lines, and inadvertently, her every movement exuded a mature charm.

She casually scattered a handful of yellow paper money.

The copper bell in her hand jingled.

Her rosy lips parted slightly.

“Spirits, return; souls, rest in peace. This place is tranquil. Excuse me, excuse me...”

As the incantation was recited, the students gradually quieted down.

“Next, each student will choose a grave and sign a contract with its owner. Once signed, there’s no going back.”

“You will then have three days to nurture the corpse, revive it, and let it become a helper in your lives.”

“After the revival is complete, we will conduct a comprehensive test for the corpses you’ve nurtured. Those who meet the standards can become true Jiangshi Herders.”

“Students who don’t meet the standards shouldn’t be discouraged; you can enter society and control corpses to work as security guards or even delivery drivers, which isn’t bad...”

“Alright, time is almost up. Now, begin choosing your graves...”

Although Teacher Wu’s expression was kind, the students all knew that

if they couldn’t become a Jiangshi Herder,

they would forever remain at the bottom of society in this life.

They would only be able to control corpses to work as security guards, cleaners, or nannies, becoming one of the “Three Lucky Treasures.”

There would be no chance to rise up.

Everyone was very nervous, afraid of choosing the wrong grave.

Only Lin Mo felt pure fear... There was no other way; he was someone who had transmigrated midway.

He was still unaccustomed to this terrifying world.

He had a natural sense of fear towards corpses and ghosts.

Therefore, in all of his school’s dissection experiments and interactions with cadaver teachers, he was always at the bottom of the class.

So,

Lin Mo didn’t hope to pick a powerful corpse.

As long as he could choose a corpse that looked decent, wasn’t too badly decomposed,

and didn’t have large-scale disfigurement, that would be enough... In other words,

just don’t be too scary... Soon, all the students had successively found the graves they were convinced contained top-grade corpses... Lin Mo also casually found a hastily made, desolate grave.

The tombstone was incomplete; there was no way of knowing if a human or ghost, male or female, was buried inside... He dug out the coffin from the grave...

Just as he pushed open the coffin,

“Ding!”

“Activating system...”

“System binding successful.”

“Detecting host’s innate timidity...”

“Matching suitable system...”

“Holy crap! It’s here, it’s finally here!”

“I waited for two and a half years, and it’s finally here!”

“Do you know what I’ve been through for the past two and a half years?!!!”

As a transmigrator, how could Lin Mo not know that a system was equivalent to a welfare package?

He originally thought that among the countless transmigrators, he was the only one without a system.

Facts proved that it was late, but it arrived.

The mechanical voice rang out again!

“System matching complete.”

“Congratulations, Host, for activating the Peerless Empress System.”

“You can transform any female you control into a peerless female sovereign, an empress.”

“Host will gain Honor Points every second.”

“Honor Points: +1, +1, +1...”

Hearing this voice, Lin Mo almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

What the hell? Did this have any relevance to his current situation?

A female sovereign empress, and it had to be a female he could control.

What a joke?

He hadn’t transmigrated to ancient times.

Where he could marry three wives and four concubines, and whoever he pointed to would be Liu Ruyan.

He transmigrated to a horror world, but its social operating rules were no different from before he transmigrated.

Women had the same rights as men.

Both parties could freely marry and divorce.

They could even openly engage in ‘fist-fighting’ on Xiaohongshu (a social media platform).

Even more incredible was the Jiangxi region, where if a man wanted to marry a woman, the bride price was a million, plus a house and a car.

It could be said that the status of women was already at an empress level.

Was this broken system messing with him... He was speechless.

With this thought... Lin Mo could only slowly open the coffin... A strong stench of decay assailed him, mixed with the damp smell of earth, almost suffocating him.

Lin Mo suppressed the urge to vomit, staring intently at the inside of the coffin.

Inside the coffin lay a female corpse dressed in a white gown.

Her skin was as pale as paper, her hair raven black and shiny, and her features were as delicate as a painting.

However, her body emitted a nauseating smell of decay, as if she had been dead for a very, very long time.

“Is this my destined Ghost Servant?” Lin Mo murmured to himself.
