The Cross-Dressing Legend Is Excessively Beautiful - Chapter 4

Chapter 4

At this thought, Song Xizhi opened the system interface.

A blue panel opened within his mental domain. At the very top were his own attribute values and skill card descriptions. On the far left, a mission card hovered continuously, rotating and emitting a faint, eerie red glow.

Carved upon it was a woman—exquisitely beautiful, possessing an intense visual impact.

She wore red robes, had long flowing hair, and a cluster of red flames marked the space between her brows. “The peach trees are young and elegant, brilliant are their flowers”—yet they could not compare to the soul-snatching allure of her eyes.

Her makeup was extremely thick and heavy. Her eyes were extremely cold and icy.

She reminded one of a flower blooming in solitary pride atop a snow-capped mountain; she lived there, and though you could see her by lifting your head, you could never possess her.

This was his character card for this mission—the “Eldest Young Lady” of the Prime Minister’s Manor, Song Xizhi.

Whether by coincidence or not, the two of them shared the exact same name.

The card was crafted with extreme delicacy, with a row of small golden characters in the top right corner: Twin Lotuses. Two flowers on one stalk, born from the same root.

Song Xizhi carefully sensed the card. Because he had failed the mission several times before, fine cracks had already begun to appear on its surface.

When this card shatters completely, you will be trapped in this world forever, never to leave. 001 sighed eerily.

001 specifically reminded him, Your current completion rate is only 50%~~

“Understood. 001, can you go offline now?” Constantly being reminded of the mission progress was truly irritating—especially when that progress had been stuck for several years.

Song Xizhi coughed, a metallic scent of blood rising in his throat. He pressed his tongue against his palate as the salty, fishy taste spread through his mouth, making him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Tsk, this body is far too weak. Song Xizhi disgustedly used a handkerchief to wipe the bloodstains from his hand.

Host, this is the most fashionable ‘Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable’ (Mei-Qiang-Can) persona nowadays~~ 001 spoke in its usual milky, cute voice.

Song Xizhi remained expressionless. “Abandoned by his most respected father, stabbed by his most beloved sister, and lusted after by a pervert for his beauty—it is indeed miserable enough! And beautiful enough!”

In the first lifetime, he quietly played the zither and nursed his illness, only to have a demonic woman from the martial arts world take a fancy to his face, leading to his “skin-peeling” game-over achievement.

In the second lifetime, he practiced martial arts bitterly, only to be treated as a discarded pawn by his “father,” Song Ci, who pushed him out as a scapegoat to fulfill his own reputation of “sacrificing family for the greater good.”

In the third lifetime, he successfully killed his father in a counter-attack, but at the final moment, he was stabbed in the back by his “sister” and directly ascended to heaven.

The winter wind was always as cold and sharp as a knife, scraping against the face until the skin stung.

Recalling the various tragic endings of the previous three lives, Song Xizhi nodded. “Truly worthy of the ‘Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable’ persona!” It was certainly miserable enough.

“The most miserable part is that after three reincarnations, I still don’t know what this mission actually wants me to do!”

That was the truth. The mission consisted of only four simple words: Fulfill the Wish.

But how was Song Xizhi supposed to know what on earth the original owner’s wish was?

001 immediately played dead, skillfully going offline. It was that familiar, frustrating feeling.

Song Xizhi waited for a long time, but he still did not hear the familiar mechanical, cute voice.

Cold-blooded capitalist. With so few clues, it was hard for him to work obediently.

Song Xizhi thought nonchalantly.
