Chapter 29: The protagonist of an ancient abusive novel (Part 1)
Translated by peonynoveltl
It’s been a busy month! I got buried by work and finally crawled out. Sorry it took this long to finally update again TT
I’ve also been really distracted by all the news going on lately…..sigh…
In the original plan, Gu Bai decided to rush back to Fu Mansion after he was done dealing with Fu family’s second young master to find a shield* to block this matter.
*excuse
In the past few years, although he wasn’t bullied by servants like the original host in the storyline because of studying, he didn’t raise his status into a real young master of the Fu family. The fact that the original host is a drag* is unchangeable.
*woman’s children from previous marriage (derogatory)
Once something goes wrong, between his own son and a drag*, the brain of a normal person will definitely be biased towards his own son. Furthermore, the fact that he was present today can’t be concealed.
So he needs to go back to Fu mansion to find a shield before the matter of Fu Tianci is exposed. As for this shield, he already figured it out. Naturally, it’s the target of this task, Fu Junli.

In the Fu family, although Lord Fu has the rank of a master, but in the entire Fu family, Fu Junli who is already in charge of Fu family’s business is the one with the final say. So as long as he receive Fu Junli’s protection*, no one in Fu family will dare to lay their hands on him.
*blessing
After preparing for several years, it’s also time to make a move on the BOSS. To go against Fu Junli, he already completed his strategy in recent years.

Fu Junli is very cold-blooded, it’s not easy to get close to such a person. Getting close to this person’s heart is more difficult than entering heaven.
However, nothing is for certain. While being cold-blooded, Fu Junli was also extremely infatuated. His more than ten years of reminiscing and nostalgia towards Ronglian* can prove his degree of infatuation.
*Sweet lotus paste
aka Lianzhi the white lotus
Such people either don’t love or love wholeheartedly.
Therefore, the only way to attack such a BOSS is to step on the ex and occupy the seat*. Using the similarities between the original host and Ronglian to get close to him. Otherwise, there won’t be any chance for Fu Junli to take a look at him, let alone make Fu Junli fall in love.

*take the position
As long as Fu Junli put his gaze on himself, then things will be easier. In the storyline, the original host’s emotional intelligence was too low and his character was too weak, causing him to become unfavorable and therefore abandoned.
Now that he already changed, there will be a poetic and artistic dreamlike ‘chance of encounter’ that will successfully seduce Fu Junli as planned.
No matter how angry Lord Fu is for what happened to Fu Tianci today, he definitely won’t dare to anger Fu Junli this cold-blooded son to come teach him a lesson. In the future, the outcome of him VS the white lotus is even more uncertain.
After a month long of crouching, he already pretty much understood the BOSS’s itinerary. Tonight was a good time to have a ‘chance encounter’, seamlessly linking them together.
Unfortunately, he didn’t expect Fu Tianci’s matter to be exposed before dawn. The little servant by his side was also a godly teammate. In a tea house full of people, he made a big fuss to find someone to come look at his young master’s naked ass!

However, even if things change, that dreamlike ‘chance encounter’ can’t. There’s another thing, the original host and white lotus’s similar azure eyes are the true weapons of seduction, the chance encounter is just icing on the cake….
Fu mansion became very lively in the middle of the night. In the large garden, no matter if it’s the madame, concubine, or servants, everyone climbed up from the bed and put on clothes to check the bustling scene.
Lord Fu sat on a carved chair, accompanied by a few wife and concubines. One gorgeous woman among them kept on crying.

”Laoye*, you must give justice to my child. Today, it must be caused by the unlucky star brought by the seventh concubine. He went drinking and sightseeing* with my child. How did my child encounter such things, he was fine and without a single strand of hair missing! Sob sob….. “
*Lord Fu is actually called Fu ‘laoye’, the father/master of the household. Using ‘master’ is probably more accurate than ‘lord'(?) But there’s so much master this and master that in ancient story, so I will just stick with using Lord.
*to appreciate the beauty of something
Gu Bai was invited to admire the chrysanthemums by Fu Tianci
The seventh concubine that she spoke of is Du Haitang. Du Haitang was anxious when she heard it and quickly defended “Laoye, there’s no way, Yunxi is timid since he was small, where would he have the courage…”
During these past few years in Fu mansion, she was still unable to bear Lord Fu’s child. Gu Bai was able to pass the imperial exam at a young age and is also very filial to her, unlike his heartless father. Du Haitang looks forward to seeing him achieve scholarly honour (or official rank). Fortunately there’s someone that she can rely on for the rest of her life. After all, you can’t depend on men, but there’s still some hope in a son.
”Enough, all of you shut up! Fugui, you say it, what happened today?”
Lord Fu who was already holding backing anger was bothered by those two ladies to the point of annoyance. He slammed the table, and with eyes full of anger, he first caught the little servant for interrogation.
”Laoye, this servant will say it, this servant will say it. Today, the second young master made this servant go invite little young master Du to go to the Lihua Garden to drink and make friends. Who knew that not long after young master Du entered, a ruckus happened inside. When this servant went in again, the room was already a mess. The second young master was not in sight and little young master Du was also missing. Also don’t know when they left the door, this servant was always waiting outside the door….”

The little servant was frightened to the point of trembling, how could he dare to hide what happened. He immediately said everything, and in order to protect his own life, he spared no effort to push the matter to Gu Bai.

Trailblazer
The story of a man who accidentally wrote another world into existence. Everyone breaks away from their mundane daily life in one way or another. Our protagonist, an unfortunate consequence of circumstance, being no different, often escaped the harsh reality of life by writing stories of an alternate world of swords and magic. Though he recognized the difference between reality and fantasy, he could've never imagined what would happen, when the line between the two blurred as lightning struck down from the skies, and his escapism fantasy became all too real... After he came to, he would soon learn that things in the other world aren't quite as he remembered them to be. The world he wrote of had become but a shadow of its former self. Albeit hesitant at first, he sets off on a quest to find out the secrets behind the Trails, yet even then, he can't help but wonder... Can he really bring his world back to its old glory? —————————— I have never written a story before in my life and now I'm doing so in a language I don't natively speak. Groundbreaking quality is probably not something to be expected, but I do my best to keep things readable. With the necessities out of the way, both constructive criticism and other suggestions are very much welcome, and I'll do my best to take them into account when writing future chapters.

The cover is commisioned and done by: Artist: FatCatInTheBox ***** Before you lot bashes me up with my English etc., consider this: 1. This is my first novel. First conceptualized and written some 23 years ago. Only until last year that I did some improvisations and improvements to what I had kept in the dusty corner of my room all these while. This story sees the light of the day because I challenged myself, that's all. 2. English is the 6th language that I speak.And in RRL, I'm using British English mostly to write my story. 3. Easier said than done. Rather than subjecting me to subjective comments/reviews about the language, point it out and suggest an alternative. One or two would do just fine. It goes a long way. The Pledge - This story shall continue till it ends properly.
8 112The one Player
Jacob, an avid Minecraft player in his free time, touched that damn mirror that looked so much like an End portal.

8 135After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
