Great Xia Empire, General’s Manor.
In a refined and elegant courtyard, Lu Chen opened his cold, star-like eyes and sighed, “Sigh, dead again. Can’t I last a little longer?”
Sunlight filtered through the sparse treetops, falling on his luxurious brocade robe, making him appear like a banished immortal. The maid standing beside him was so captivated she forgot to serve a fresh cup of tea.
But what the maid didn’t know was that the young master before her now carried a different soul.
That’s right—Lu Chen was a transmigrator.
A few days ago, on his way home from work, he suddenly hit the jackpot and ended up transmigrating.
At first, he transmigrated into the body of a wandering beggar. During a begging session, he accidentally disturbed the passing carriage of the Grand General. Unexpectedly, the General recognized him as his long-lost son and brought him back to the manor.
Just like that, without rhyme or reason, Lu Chen became the legitimate eldest son of the Grand General of the Great Xia Empire.
Besides him, Grand General Lu Qingshan had two other sons.
The second son, Lu Wen, was raised on poetry and classics, known for his eloquence. He now served as an esteemed academic scholar in the imperial court.
The third son, Lu Wu, was born with great strength and strategic talent. At a young age, he had already been appointed General Who Guards the West and currently defended the Great Xia Empire’s border.
Meanwhile, this conveniently returned legitimate eldest son had no apparent strengths—he didn’t even retain memories of the original body’s past.
His only ‘specialty’ might have been something below the belt.
Fortunately, like most transmigrators, Lu Chen received a golden starter gift: the Infinite Simulation System!
From its name alone, it was clear this was a system that could simulate entire lifetimes.
When it first bound to him, Lu Chen received three free simulation opportunities.
In the first simulation, Lu Chen was born as a rich and idle playboy. Unfortunately, all he did was frequent brothels and listen to music. After battling a courtesan for two days and nights, he died in a pleasure house.
At the end of that simulation, he gained the [Fated with Peach Blossoms] talent.
In the second simulation, he became a destitute scholar.
Thanks to the [Fated with Peach Blossoms] trait, whether it was village girls or noble ladies, all took a liking to him. Even seductive female ghosts, white snake demons, and spider spirits threw themselves at him.
Sadly, Lu Chen lasted only three days before dropping dead.
After all, as a mere mortal, it was impossible to survive coupling with demons and spirits. Even if his waist held up, his Yang energy couldn’t endure such reckless indulgence.
“Two simulations finished in just half an hour?”
Lu Chen pulled his thoughts back and couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed. Then he opened his status panel to take a look.
[Name: Lu Chen]
[Lifespan: 25/26]
[Identity: Legitimate eldest son of the Grand General of the Great Xia Empire]
[Status: Severely weakened, terminally ill]
[Talents: Fated with Peach Blossoms (Green), Undead Knight (Green), Grassroots Hero (Green), Insect Manipulator (Green)]
[Simulation Points: 1]
Lu Chen not only shared the same name as the original, but even the age—both were 25.
Unfortunately, the original had some sort of terminal illness, with only one year of life left.
“Sigh, am I going to be the shortest-lived transmigrator?”
He closed the panel.
Suddenly, Lu Chen began coughing violently.
His face turned pale, and his palm was stained with bright red blood.
The maid panicked and quickly ran to the kitchen.
Soon after, she returned carrying a bowl of medicinal soup.
“Young Master, it’s time for your medicine.”
“Alright.”
After drinking the decoction, Lu Chen’s complexion improved slightly, and the coughing gradually subsided.
But his body remained incredibly weak—even heavy breathing made him dizzy.
There was nothing he could do. With a terminal illness and two indulgent life simulations back-to-back, his health had only worsened.
“Who would’ve thought a mere text simulation could affect my real physical state too?”
“Only one simulation left. I’ll have to use it wisely.”
Setting the empty bowl down on the stone table, Lu Chen staggered to his feet.
The maid hurried forward to help him, but Lu Chen waved her off.
“Jin’er, accompany me for a walk by Tranquil Heart Lake.”
The two simulated lifetimes had drained him mentally.
He needed to rest properly before conducting the final simulation.
“Yes, Young Master!” the maid bowed.
The maid was an orphan picked up by Grand General Lu Qingshan and trained as a death soldier from a young age.
Ever since Lu Chen was brought back to the manor, she had been assigned by Lu Qingshan to guard him closely.
She had no name, just a code—“Jiayin.”
Lu Chen found it unpleasant to hear, so he gave her the name “Jin’er.”
Just as the two were about to head out, a servant came rushing over.
“Young Master, a guard from the Prime Minister’s estate requests an audience.”
Lu Chen frowned. “A guard from the Prime Minister’s estate? Why would he come to our General’s Manor?”
“Replying to Young Master, he came with the Prime Minister’s daughter. It seems… to discuss a marriage annulment.”
Starting off with a breakup?
What a cliché plotline!
Lu Chen couldn’t help but complain inwardly.
But regardless of how ridiculous it seemed, now that he was the General’s legitimate eldest son, there was no avoiding such matters.
As Lu Chen was considering how to respond, a middle-aged guard wearing armor and a sword at his waist strode in.
“You’re the legitimate eldest son of the Grand General?”
The man looked Lu Chen up and down with complete disregard.
“Indeed, I am,” Lu Chen replied with a calm smile.
But the maid at his side narrowed her eyes, already on edge.
“Hmph, just like the rumors say!”
“Not only frail, but also a sickly weakling!”
After scoffing a few more times, the guard smirked.
Jin’er could no longer hold back her anger and beat him up on the spot.
Despite being a 3rd grade cultivator of the Vajra Realm, the Prime Minister’s guard had no chance against a maid from the General’s Manor and was thoroughly beaten.
“Jin’er, that’s enough. Leave the Prime Minister’s estate a little dignity.”
“Understood, Young Master!”
With Lu Chen’s command, Jin’er finally stopped.
Looking at the guard’s bruised and swollen face, Lu Chen smiled and asked, “So your young lady wants to break off the engagement?”
Covering his battered face, the middle-aged guard had lost all earlier arrogance.
“Reporting to Young Master, my lady has been waiting in the guest hall for quite some time.”
“Young Master… please meet with her to discuss the annulment.”
Lu Chen glanced at him and replied indifferently, “I’m quite busy. Tell her to come meet me at Tranquil Heart Lake herself.”
Leaving behind a dumbfounded guard, Lu Chen turned and walked out of the courtyard with Jin’er.
