Quick Transmigration: Crazy About the Villain, Begging for Love - Chapter 1

After a heavy blizzard last night, the city of Kyoto was blanketed in pristine white.

Creeeak—

In a small courtyard of the courier station, the door to the center room opened. An elderly man with a white beard slowly emerged, carrying a medicine chest, followed by a middle-aged man with an elegant and scholarly temperament.

“Doctor Lin, about the Sixth Prince…”

Doctor Lin waved his hand, cutting him off. He gazed at the accumulated snow in the courtyard and sighed helplessly, “His illness was brought on from birth; it is fundamentally incurable and requires delicate care. We have traveled for a month from the Yun Kingdom to the Ning Kingdom, and we have just been caught in the dead of winter. Several of the accompanying guards have already fallen ill, let alone the frail and sickly Sixth Prince. I fear… he does not have many days left.”

He Zhangzhi looked instinctively toward the room. The young man on the bed was thin and frail, his complexion deathly pale. If not for the faint rise and fall of his chest, one could not even tell if he were still alive.

He Zhangzhi grabbed Doctor Lin anxiously and asked, “Is there truly no cure? If he could at least hold on for this month the envoy group cannot leave for another fifteen days. He is the hostage I escorted here; he cannot die until I have stepped outside the borders of the Ning Kingdom!”

Doctor Lin looked at He Zhangzhi with a hint of mockery, “I truly did not realize that Chancellor He could be so cold-blooded and ungrateful. He is your own nephew!”

He Zhangzhi’s expression shifted slightly. He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. “Since Doctor Lin lacks the skill, I shall go into the city to seek out a renowned physician of the Ning Kingdom!”

The two did not intentionally lower their voices, and the young man on the bed was awakened by the noise. He slowly opened his eyes.

“Cough, cough, cough… cough, cough, cough…“

Li Qing had just arrived in this small world. Before he could even receive the memories, he felt as if he were coughing his life away. This body was in terrible shape.

His uncle had previously said that he needed an immersive experience of the world’s warmth and cold, life and death, so he had sealed away all of Li Qing’s powers before sending him out. His soul was now attached to the original owner, and he would also inherit the other’s illnesses and ailments. Here, he was just an ordinary human; he really wasn’t used to it.

“Cough, cough, cough…“

Hearing the sound, Doctor Lin hurried back into the room and handed a cup of warm tea to the person on the bed.

The coughing gradually ceased. Doctor Lin took the young man’s wrist. He had just checked the pulse not long ago, but driven by professional habit, he checked it once more with great care.

Li Qing slowly sat up, leaning weakly against the bedpost.

He noticed Doctor Lin’s eyes, which had previously been narrowed into slits, widening further and further. What was wrong? Could it be a pulse of pregnancy?

Doctor Lin: “!!!”

The pulse felt similar to before, but there was now a trace of vitality. The Sixth Prince’s life could be saved!

Too excited to even speak, Doctor Lin turned and dashed out into the courtyard, not even remembering to close the door behind him. He stood in the courtyard and loudly shouted for the guards to bring paper and a brush; he had to write a prescription.

Li Qing silently lamented: A vigorous old man! He’s in better physical shape than I am, a young man.

He rubbed his aching temples and straightened his posture. With his slender fingers resting on the quilt, Li Qing stared at his left wrist and communicated with the system through his consciousness:

“San Sui, stop sleeping. Wake up and tell me the specific situation of this small world.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the grey, dull shadow on his left wrist seemed to come to life.

It stretched and bloomed an Equinox Flower, red and bewitching, resting upon his slender, porcelain-white wrist. It was both exquisite and sinister. Fortunately, this flower was only visible to Li Qing and would not arouse suspicion.

Awakened, San Sui let out a massive yawn, but did not speak. Instead, it quietly admired its host’s peerless beauty.

Clearly a pair of alluring, fox-like eyes, yet they were clear as water, completely devoid of any intention to charm others. The contradiction between seductiveness and innocence was interwoven, making one unable to stop from becoming drawn in, wanting to explore more.

Before embarking on the mission, San Sui had specifically looked into Li Qing: a powerful nine-tailed fox, the next patriarch of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. He was reticent, cold, and sparing with his words.

It was unknown which Qingqiu patriarch had left behind the tradition, but new patriarchs were required to undergo trials in small worlds before their succession to temper their temperament.

The elders had approached San Sui, asking it to help guide Li Qing into the small world to learn more about human affairs. San Sui had hesitated at first, but upon seeing Li Qing’s face, it drooled all over the floor it loved beautiful people most! Li Qing was exactly its aesthetic ideal, so San Sui happily bound itself to the host.

After binding, it discovered a massive secret: Li Qing appeared silent and a bit cold, but in reality, his internal monologue was richer than anyone’s; he was just too lazy to express it out loud…

Noticing the system hadn’t responded, Li Qing poked his wrist, “San Sui? Can you hear me?” It didn’t wilt, did it? Does it need watering?

San Sui pulled itself together and hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes! Host, let me clarify the rules of this system first.

“Once you reach the small world, everything depends on yourself. Once I finish explaining the plot, I will go into sleep mode. The system will only appear to help when you are in life-threatening danger; otherwise, you’re on your own. Also, if you encounter important characters, such as the male lead, female lead, or villains, the system will automatically trigger relevant introductions to help you understand things better.”

Li Qing was not surprised by this approach; his uncle and the elders had already told him. The so-called trial was meant to avoid relying on external forces; the system was merely an assistive tool and should not be depended upon too heavily.

Seeing that he understood, San Sui continued with the prerequisites: “You are just here for the trial; there are no special tasks. Every time you transmigrate, you will enter the body of someone with the same name who is on the verge of death. You only need to fulfill their dying wish. The original owner will pass away from illness in one month. His dying wish is to return to the Yun Kingdom, bring his mother out of the cold palace, and find a place with a good environment for her to spend her twilight years in peace.”

Li Qing rubbed the jade pendant of a prince at his waist. A filial child. What a pity.

The Equinox Flower on his wrist swayed, transmitting the original owner’s memories into Li Qing’s mind. San Sui continued:

“This is a world created from a novel. The male lead is the Heir of the Prince of Li in the Ning Kingdom, and the female lead transmigrated into the daughter of the Grand Tutor.

“The emotional arc between the male and female leads is very complicated. The female lead insists on equality for all even in ancient times; this novel idea attracts the male lead, and at the same time, the female lead feels affection for the male lead who saved her life. Then, there is a series of schemes by female and male supporting characters, dog-blood misunderstandings… and in the end, they successfully get married!

“The male lead’s career arc is simpler. The Emperor of the Ning Kingdom, who is the main villain of this small world, suffers from a mental illness from childhood. He is manic, irritable, murderous, and tyrannical. No one dares to get close to him, and as he ages, the illness grows increasingly severe. Everyone in the court fears for their lives, terrified of being executed at any moment! As a righteous little angel, the male lead schemes with his father to rebel. Prince Li successfully seizes the throne, the male lead is crowned Crown Prince, and he reaches the pinnacle of life!

“However, Host, you are just a passerby character who dies quite early. You have no connection to the male lead, female lead, or the villain, so you don’t need to worry about them.”

Li Qing: “…” Only the last sentence was the point. Why did you set up so much background? I have no interest in hearing about irrelevant things.
