“Miss Jing, you seem to know medicine?”
After watching Jing Yin bandage Grandma Jing’s hand, Dongxue couldn’t help but step forward and ask.
Jing Yin shook her head. “No. I used to help the doctor in our village sort medicinal herbs for a while, so I only know how to do some basic bandaging.”
“I see.”
Dongxue had thought that this young woman knew medicine and might be able to take a look at the young master.
A trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes, but she quickly forced a smile and gently apologized.
“I’m sorry, Miss Jing. I disturbed you.”
Dongxue was about to leave when Jing Yin called out to her.
“Miss Dongxue, are you worried about your young master? I think your young master is blessed and will surely recover soon.”
This girl was really polite, so Jing Yin didn’t mind saying a few comforting words.
Besides, the system’s reward had already been issued, which meant the treatment mission had been successfully completed.
The young man had also drunk some water mixed with Spirit Spring Water earlier, so he would probably recover even faster.
Dongxue was stunned when she heard this.
She then thanked Jing Yin and returned to the Third Miss.
After quietly recounting their entire conversation, Third Miss looked at the young man with deep guilt in her eyes.
Then she saw him slowly open his eyes.
Their gazes met.
The Third Miss covered her mouth in disbelief.
“Little Brother?!”
The Third Miss cried out and hurriedly rushed over.
The young man smiled at her, indicating that he was fine.
However, the boy had only just regained consciousness and was still extremely weak.
The Third Miss didn’t dare disturb him too much.
After saying a few words to him, she actually walked over to Jing Yin and gave her a respectful bow.
“Thank you for your kind words, Miss Jing. My name is Mingyue.”
“You’re welcome.”
Jing Yin smiled and waved her hand.
She was just about to say that her brother was simply lucky when suddenly, memories that did not belong to her surged into her mind.
After receiving all those memories, Jing Yin was completely stunned.
It turned out that she hadn’t merely transmigrated.
She had actually transmigrated into a melodramatic tragic-romance novel.
And in this tragic romance novel, the original owner didn’t even count as a supporting character.
At most, she was just a passerby A.
The woman standing before her was none other than the female protagonist of this tragic romance novel—Xia Mingyue, the daughter of Consort Liang and the current Third Princess.
When Xia Mingyue was six years old, Consort Liang was still the emperor’s favored concubine, and Xia Mingyue was also deeply loved by the emperor.
She was innocent and carefree, and she accidentally saved Jun Molin, the Crown Prince of the Tianan Kingdom, who was being held hostage in the Great Xia Dynasty.
At that time, Jun Molin was treated terribly.
Everyone looked down on him and bullied him.
Xia Mingyue was the only light in his life.
Seven years ago, Jun Molin was taken back to the Tianan Kingdom.
Before leaving, Jun Molin promised that he would definitely marry her one day and treat her well for the rest of his life.
After that, the two never saw each other again.
That was until a year ago.
Consort Liang’s family was exiled to the borderlands under some fabricated charge, while the Sixth Prince, Xia Renye, was poisoned.
No one in the palace was willing to save him.
In order to secure a chance of survival for her two children, Consort Liang desperately arranged for them to leave the palace before she died.
They were sent to their maternal grandfather’s family under the pretense of going there to recover from illness.
Unexpectedly, halfway there, Xia Mingyue’s saintly heart got the better of her.
She gave their food to the refugees.
In the end, not only was all their food robbed, but Xia Renye became so furious that the poison in his body attacked his heart.
Xia Renye had already been deeply poisoned.
After becoming enraged, the poison directly invaded his heart and lungs, and he died not long afterward.
Xia Mingyue was devastated.
While Yin Wudao went to search for food, she deceived Dongxue and left alone, intending to end her life as atonement.
However, she happened to be discovered and kidnapped by Jun Molin’s men.
By then, Jun Molin had already become the emperor of the Tianan Kingdom.
He had her kidnapped in order to threaten Xia Mingyue’s maternal family.
Because Xia Mingyue had only told Jun Molin her childhood nickname, “Nannan,” when they were young, Jun Molin failed to recognize that Xia Mingyue was actually the person who had once been his light while he was a hostage.
After that, the two began a series of torturous, supposedly deeply passionate encounters.
But from what Jing Yin could see, there was no deep love at all.
There was only the torture of the female protagonist.
Jun Molin mistakenly believed another woman was his beloved “Nannan.”
After kidnapping Xia Mingyue, he subjected her to all kinds of torture—bleeding her, gouging out her eyes, cutting her flesh, hanging her from the city wall…
Then, because he needed to cure his “beloved” Nannan’s illness and the required medicinal ingredient was a seven-month-old fetus, Jun Molin raped Xia Mingyue, made her pregnant, and then forcibly aborted the baby when it reached seven months.
Later, he wiped out her entire maternal family and hung their corpses from the city wall.
He even forced her to look at their miserable state by prying open her eyes.
Xia Mingyue went completely insane.
By the end of the story, Jun Molin finally discovered that he had mistaken the wrong person.
He was filled with regret.
But Xia Mingyue would never forgive him.
She slit her own throat in front of him, using her death to secure a promise that the Tianan Kingdom would not invade the Great Xia Dynasty for thirty years.
Although Jun Molin fulfilled the promise he had made to Xia Mingyue, he spent the rest of his life drowning in pain and regret.
But that didn’t stop him from getting married and having children…
…
After receiving all those memories, Jing Yin’s expression looked as miserable as the famous old man staring at a smartphone.
So in these tragic romance stories, the female lead was always the one getting tortured?
At least Xia Mingyue had a voice and knew to explain herself to the male lead.
Unfortunately, the male lead simply refused to believe her.
And after hearing her explanation, he tortured her even more severely.
Originally, this kind of tragic romance had nothing to do with Jing Yin, a mere passerby A.
But according to the original plot, after the original owner died, the Jing family found her corpse.
Heartbroken, they also changed their route.
On the way, they encountered the female protagonist and the others.
When Jing Da saw them, he thought of his own daughter and felt sympathy for them, so he repaired their carriage.
Because of this, Yin Wudao pointed them toward the correct route.
But shortly after the Jing family set off, they encountered assassins sent by Jun Molin.
After intimidating and torturing them, the assassins learned from the family which direction Yin Wudao and the others had gone.
Then they killed the entire Jing family.

Heh.
“Miss Jing, what’s wrong?”
Seeing that Jing Yin’s expression was strange, Xia Mingyue couldn’t help asking.
Jing Yin shook her head.
“Maybe it’s just too hot. I’m feeling a little dizzy from the sun.”
She had no intention of interfering in the matters between the male and female leads.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t even know how she died.
Moreover, she wasn’t sure whether they would encounter those assassins this time.
After all, Xia Renye hadn’t died this time.
Still, she needed to make preparations in advance.
Jing Da quickly finished repairing the carriage.
Jing Yin didn’t linger for even a moment and immediately urged the family to hurry along.
Yin Wudao was anxious to find a water source and didn’t stay either.
Before leaving, however, he handed half of a jade pendant to Jing Da.
“Senior Jing, the magistrate of Taohua County in Yanghua Prefecture is my friend. If you encounter any trouble after you get there, you can seek his help.”
“Thank you, young brother.”
Jing Da solemnly accepted the jade pendant.
Whether the man’s words were true or not, it was better to accept the token first.
What if it really was genuine?
If they eventually settled down in Taohua County, they would at least have another layer of protection.
Yin Wudao drove the carriage away quickly, and the Jing family immediately set off as well.
Along the way, Jing Yin kept thinking about how to deal with the assassins.
According to the original plot, there would be six assassins.
There was no way she could deal with them alone.
Even if they changed their route, it was probably already too late.
After checking everything in her space, Jing Yin pursed her lips and took out the venom sac she had collected from the poisonous snake earlier.
(System, can this be converted?)
[Ding! One venom sac from a poisonous snake has been detected. Would the host like to spend 2 points to convert it into a Venomous Explosive Egg?]
