1: The Third Young Master of the Su Family

The third year of the Zhao era.

Three years ago, the Great Xia Emperor died mysteriously, sending the world into chaos as various females rose up, vying for the supreme imperial power.

The young Empress, only fifteen years old, ascended the throne in a time of crisis. She wielded power with a ruthlessness and iron-fisted resolve that belied her age.

She executed treacherous officials, quelled rebellions, and repelled the Xiongnu.

In just three years, she stabilized the chaotic situation of Great Xia. However, behind the facade of stability, several remnant factions still held onto their armies, plotting rebellion!

Qingzhou.

Located at the extreme south of the Great Xia territory.

It was truly a place where the sky was high and the Empress was far away.

Here, the Governor of Qingzhou, Su Xuemei, was a local emperor who covered the sky with one hand and whose word was Law; her orders were more effective than the imperial edicts from the Capital City.

Rumor had it that the Governor of Qingzhou had three daughters.

The eldest daughter, Su Guimin, thirty-two years old, was the Cavalry General in charge of one hundred thousand elite infantry in Qingzhou.

The second daughter, Su Guihui, twenty-three years old, was the Grand Marshal of Divine Might for the Qingzhou Navy.

And that Third Young Master was rumored to be so beautiful as to topple cities and kingdoms, a peerless beauty, but unfortunately, everyone turned pale at the mere mention of his name.

Su Residence.

In front of the majestic vermilion gates stood two powerful and noble white jade Dragons. Daring to use symbols of imperial power as "watchdogs" was enough to show the arrogance and tyranny of the Su Family.

Deep within the inner courtyard, in an elegant garden, came the weak, listless voice of a youth.

The voice was as crisp and pleasant as an oriole.

"System, is there really no Newbie Gift Pack? Are you even capable of anything, System!"

System: ...

Helpless, Su Quan sat up from the silk soft bed, which was fragrant with incense, and stared blankly at the stunning person in the bronze mirror.

Damn it!

The beautiful youth in the mirror had fluffy, ink-black hair draped casually over his shoulders.

In ancient times, both men and women were accustomed to long hair, a point he could barely accept.

But that face!

Skin like snow, sword-like eyebrows, and a pair of charming star-like eyes that were as transparent as purple glass, as if scattered with starlight.

Under his straight, delicate nose, his lips were pursed, red as cinnabar fruit.

Seen from the side, he seemed vaguely shrouded in a halo, like an immortal descended from the heavens.

His whole body exuded a cold, aloof temperament, as well as an indifference that kept people at a distance.

Yet, in his bones, there was a soul-stirring charm. These two completely opposite temperaments blended together, enough to drive the women of the world crazy.

"Is the highest Realm of handsomeness being neutral, indistinguishable between male and female?"

Su Quan could only complain powerlessly.

According to the System, his appearance was already a peerless existence in this world.

Actually, there was no need for the System to say it; the women he met on a daily basis, drooling all over the place, their eyes wanting to strip his clothes off, were enough to know the terrifying lethality of this skin.

Seeing no one around, the beautiful youth somewhat lewdly lifted his pants to take a look, and only then did he feel a little better.

At least... his good brother was still there!

Compared to his appearance, what he found hardest to accept was the worldview here.

That's right, he had Transmigrated!

In his previous life, he was an excellent student in the performing arts department. His looks weren't top-tier, but he was somewhat handsome. During a public performance, he was eyed by a wealthy woman.

The wealthy woman possessed a massive fortune of four hundred jin, wanting him to live off her, which immediately cured his years of stomach problems.

However, he didn't expect that after politely refusing, the wealthy woman wouldn't give up and sent subordinates to forcibly kidnap him.

On the way to escape, he ran head-on into an out-of-control large truck.

His memory ended abruptly. When he woke up again, he was already lying in the bed of the Su Family.

He had soul-transmigrated!

Nearly five years had passed since then.

He had also figured out the background and structure of this world.

Unlike his previous life, this world, called the Yuling Continent, was actually a matriarchy!

Simply put, women managed the outside, men managed the inside; women farmed, men wove.

Women earned money to support the family, men were there to be beautiful.

Women paid heavy betrothal gifts, men only needed to wait in the boudoir, waiting for the day to be married off in glory.

Of course, the physiological structure hadn't changed; giving birth to children was still something women had to do.

It was just that the women of this life generally had strong Physiques; even during the ten months of pregnancy, they could walk like the wind and fight with others. Childbirth didn't require enduring bone-chilling pain, but was as simple as taking a dump.

According to his deductions from reading history books over the years, the root of all these changes might be due to the changes in the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Under the constraints of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, women's bone structure and Aptitude were better, more suitable for the Cultivation of martial arts and Cultivation Technique. Conversely, men were mostly weak, unable to truss a chicken, and those with a Physique suitable for Cultivation were one in ten thousand.

"A matriarchy is fine, but I am actually the Vicious Villain Male Supporting Character fate appointed by destiny!" Su Quan muttered, rubbing his eyebrows painfully.

What is a Vicious Villain Male Supporting Character?

Simply put, he was born not to be liked by the female lead, using any means to achieve his goals, creating obstacles, disrupting the relationship between the Daughter of Destiny and the male lead, and the ending was mostly miserable.

At best, he would be ruined and lonely for life; at worst, he would die on the spot, affecting his loved ones.

"Perhaps, this is the price of Rebirth?"

Su Quan could only comfort himself this way.

However, what was worth celebrating was that, as a child of Transmigration, the benefits of a System were still provided.

His System was named "Strongest Regret System"!

The core lay in "regret value"!

"regret value," as the name implied, was when the Daughter of Destiny felt guilty, remorseful, ashamed, sad, painful, or regretful due to various situations regarding him.

The System could collect these emotions and use them for exchange between the endless treasures in the store.

However, the target of the System's function must be the Daughter of Destiny.

The Daughter of Destiny was born in accordance with the Heavenly Dao, favored by the Laws of fate, and both her appearance and Aptitude were top-tier choices. As long as she didn't fall, she would surely be a terrifying existence that would suppress the ages and push across the world in the future.

Such Daughters of Destiny were extremely rare and uncommon.

Therefore, the System had not been triggered to this day!

"In a few months, it will be five years since I came to this world, but I still haven't been able to embark on the path of Cultivation!" Su Quan lay back on the bed powerlessly.

As someone who had lived two lives, although he was accustomed to the worldview here, his thinking and personality were still dominated by his previous life.

After learning that there was a path of Cultivation in this world, he was unwilling to spend his life in mediocrity, guarding a wife and a hot bed.

Flying with a sword and being free for ten thousand miles!

That was what a good man should do!

Just then, the System gave a prompt.

"Ding, detected that the Daughter of Destiny has entered Yongning City!"

Finally here!

Su Quan stood up abruptly, his body trembling with excitement.

Because of the constraints of the Laws of Heaven and Earth and his weak body, everything he wanted to do to change the fate of the Vicious Villain Male Supporting Character and Cultivate to become stronger depended on the System.

But because of his mother, he was strictly forbidden from leaving Yongning City.

So he could only wait bitterly in Yongning City.

Hard work pays off; five years had passed, and he had finally waited for her!

"Set off!"

"System, get up and work!"

"No matter who she is, I must take her down!"

"If I miss this opportunity, I don't know how long I will have to wait for the next one!"

Yongning City.

It was the provincial capital of Qingzhou.

As the most prosperous city in the south of Great Xia, it was home to millions of people, with tens of thousands entering and leaving the city gates every day.

The city gate was heavily guarded, with dozens of elite soldiers stationed there.

"Hey, stop, what are you doing entering the city?"

A burly woman wearing armor, her eyes lighting up, immediately rushed into the crowd and blocked their path.

Among these people, a Cyan-Robed Girl immediately stood out and took a few copper coins from her bosom and handed them over.

"This military sister, we are entering the city to rely on relatives. These are the entry fees; please accommodate us!"

The woman weighed the copper coins in her hand, her gaze passing over the Cyan-Robed Girl and landing on the stunning young woman behind her holding a folding fan and wearing a gold-threaded robe. Her eyes narrowed involuntarily.

"These copper plates, not enough!"

"This old lady suspects you are spies sent by an enemy country, intending to do harm!"

She had been a guard here for more than a decade and had developed a pair of sharp eyes. She had long noticed that the stunning young woman was dressed expensively and had a noble bearing; there should be quite a bit of oil to squeeze.

"Don't slander people!"

The Cyan-Robed Girl glared, took a document from her bosom, and placed it in front of the woman: "We are from the Capital City!"

"So what if you are from the Capital City?"

The burly woman laughed disdainfully, mocking: "This is Yongning City, not your Capital City. Even if the Empress came, she would have to follow the rules of our Yongning City!"

"You!"

The Cyan-Robed Girl was anxious and wanted to argue more.

At this moment, the stunning young woman holding the folding fan behind her spoke. She had phoenix eyes, and her pupils were a majestic gold, saying indifferently: "Give it to her!"

The Cyan-Robed Girl was unwilling, but she had no choice but to honestly take a few taels of silver from her bosom and hand them over.

The woman laughed contentedly, then waved her hand impatiently, saying: "Go in. Remember one thing: in Yongning City, if you are a Dragon, you must coil; if you are a Tiger, you must lie down. This is the world of the Su Family!"

Soon, the group walked into the city.

The Cyan-Robed Girl looked back at the city gate, full of unwillingness, and said: "Your Maj..."

"Hmm?"

The stunning young woman snorted coldly.

The Cyan-Robed Girl immediately changed her words and said: "Sister Mu, these city gate guards are too arrogant, aren't they? Extorting the people in broad daylight, they simply don't take the Laws of Great Xia seriously!"

"They don't have the Laws of Great Xia in their eyes, they only have the Laws of Qingzhou!"

Mu Xiyan stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the bustling people on the street, and said a meaningful sentence.

The cyan-robed maid also thought of something, waving her fist fiercely and cursing: "Let's see how long they can be arrogant!"

"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first!"

Mu Xiyan shook the folding fan in her hand and walked forward first: "A show of strength right after entering the door, this Qingzhou... is somewhat interesting!"

Inside Yongning City.

Shops lined the streets, traffic was heavy.

Peddlers' calls, shouting, and people's bargaining could be heard everywhere, very lively.

Mu Xiyan walked very slowly. As she walked, she observed, and couldn't help but nod slightly: "I have to say, our Governor of Qingzhou, being able to develop Yongning City into the number one city in the south, indeed has some means."

However, at this moment, the prosperous and stable scene was broken by a burst of urgent hoofbeats.

The people on the street looked terrified, as if they had seen a plague god, and fled in panic, the scene suddenly falling into chaos.

"Move, move, don't block the way!"

"If you don't want to die, get out of the way for this young master!"

The voice was crisp and pleasant, but the words spoken made people's hearts cold.

Mu Xiyan narrowed her beautiful eyes involuntarily. She could see not far in front that a beautiful youth with a handsome and immortal appearance was riding a fat, strong horse, showing off in the city.

The beautiful youth's long whip was cracking with "pitter-patter" sounds, and the warhorse was moving extremely fast, rushing across the street.

Several people narrowly avoided it, nearly dying under the hooves.

Soon, Su Quan rushed in front of Mu Xiyan. He had no intention of slowing down at all. The horse's hooves were raised high, charging directly at her, and he scolded angrily in a delicate voice.

"Blind things, be careful in your next life!"
