CHAPTER 22: CHAPTER 1: DANCING PRINCESS (PART 1)

Li Shuning was silent for a while, then asked, "I want to know, after Li Xin lived again and Li Shuning died, what things happened?"

"Li Shuning’s death had a certain impact on Li Bingyi, some causal connections caused his strength to decrease. Li Bingyi was very annoyed, and later accidentally learned about the Yun Family and the Zhuo Family. He used that piece of jade crystal to lure Zhuo Shaojun, using Yun Lanxin’s corpse and Li Shuning’s corpse to capture Zhuo Shaojun and absorb him as well. His power skyrocketed, and then he controlled the upper echelons of the Alliance, and all the civilized planets were also under his control. The Yun Family and Zhuo Family became his stepping stones to create High Rank warriors."

Li Shuning was somewhat silent, but that voice suddenly said, "The host can obtain one item in this world, it can be a skill or a tangible item."

"Oh, can I get that super-rank Spiritual Power Ability?"

"Sorry host, auxiliary abilities are possible, but something that would affect the trajectory of your original world cannot be obtained."

"Then I want my hovercar."

"The host is truly clever, a hovercar naturally cannot appear in your world, you can definitely get a Space Button. Although the space inside the Space Button is small, it can hold quite a lot of things."

"Can I have it?"

"Of course."

When Li Shuning woke up, she found herself still in the car. The people around her were the same as those she had seen before, but in her palm, there was an additional small, tiny button.

Li Shuning took a deep breath, glanced at the Space Button, and knew in her heart that everything was real.

And the main thing is, she spent many years in that world, but here, it was just a moment. Looking at the time, it seemed they were about to arrive at HZ.

Putting the Space Button away, Li Shuning organized her backpack and handbag, preparing to get off the car.

Back home, Li Shuning sat on the sofa in a daze, knowing that life would be different from now on.

The next day, Li Shuning returned to the office, submitted her report, and resigned.

The big boss was a bit surprised, as Li Shuning’s abilities were quite good and she was responsible. Was someone poaching her?

"Shuning, is it that you are not satisfied with the current treatment? We can increase it for you."

Li Shuning smiled and said, "Boss, it’s not that. The company’s treatment has been excellent for me. I’ve been with the company since I graduated and have feelings for it, but over the past few years, with all the business trips and dealing with complex clients, it’s really tiring. I want to take a break and think about what I want to do next."

Even though the boss wanted to retain her, Li Shuning was firm in her decision, and in the end, she resigned.

The office was doing well, and Li Shuning had saved quite a bit over the years. She even bought her single apartment with her own money.

She would still travel to other worlds in the future. She didn’t want to struggle fiercely in another world while being overly busy in the real world, with no time to relax even a little.

After leaving the office, Li Shuning went to a large supermarket.

Picking and choosing, she bought a lot of things to wear, use, and eat.

She found an area with no people and no cameras on the outskirts, found an abandoned warehouse, took out the hovercar, activated its invisibility function, and stowed everything inside.

The hovercar had two energy blocks in total, one could last a long time, and after it was depleted, it could be recharged under sunlight, but very slowly.

Li Shuning placed the food in the refrigerator inside the hovercar and came out.

After all, there were many differences between that world and this world, and one never knows what might be needed.

Returning home, she had a meal with her parents and told them about her resignation, stating she might take some time off.

Li Shuning’s parents were quite reassured about her, just reminding her to take care of her health and relax more.

That day, Li Shuning was planning to handle some matters, but just as she got in the car, the navigation system indicated the current traffic condition, which seemed to be jammed all over.

Her residential area was near a subway station, so Li Shuning decided to get out of the car and headed straight for the subway.

She had embedded the Space Button into a bracelet, and that special ticket was also hidden inside the Space Button.

Upon entering the subway station, Li Shuning did not notice that the ticket inside the Space Button had already transformed into a subway ticket.

Finally finding a spot, Li Shuning let out a sigh of relief, but the next moment, she froze.

That familiar voice echoed in her mind, "The host will travel to the Great Dynasty, please be prepared."

Li Shuning was speechless; how was she supposed to prepare?

"Does the host wish to deduct Space-Time Energy Points to obtain the plot?"

"Yes."

"Deducting two Energy Points, six Energy Points remaining."

Then, a flood of information flooded into Li Shuning’s mind.

In the Great Dynasty, she was a stunning Dancing Girl in the Imperial Palace. Normally, such a Dancing Girl wouldn’t have a good end; beautiful, skilled in singing and dancing, she was very likely to become someone’s plaything. Yet, this Dancing Girl was deeply loved by the Empress Dowager, in her eyes, sometimes even more than the Emperor’s status.

This Dancing Girl could dance carefree and had found her ideal lover, who was also a high-ranking official in the court. Her life could be said to be the envy of others.

But just like in the previous world, some special events completely changed her perfect life.

First, Prince Yu frequently showed goodwill toward the Dancing Girl and induced her to seduce the Emperor, causing the Empress Dowager to be disappointed with her. Moreover, Prince Yu drugged both the Emperor and the Dancing Girl, resulting in an irreversible situation.

Before long, the Dancing Girl became pregnant. In desperation, the Empress Dowager secretly had the child removed, but during the process, Prince Yu bribed a palace maid. After the Dancing Girl didn’t miscarry, the maid put a certain medicine in her tonic, causing her to bleed profusely and die.

The Empress Dowager went mad as a result, and Prince Yu took the opportunity to win people’s hearts, claiming the Emperor’s position was illegitimate. The Great Dynasty had always passed the throne to the legitimate eldest son, and he was the eldest legitimate son, yet the throne went to the second legitimate son, not just and proper. Eventually, the Emperor was dethroned, and Prince Yu took the throne.

Although she had deducted Energy Points to obtain the plot, some things were not clearly mentioned in the plot, such as why Prince Yu suddenly appeared, or why the Empress Dowager liked the Dancing Girl so much. If she liked her, why not go with the flow when the Dancing Girl and the Emperor were together? Why abort the child? And the throne, but all these could only be slowly investigated.

Li Shuning was awakened by a knock on the door.

Opening her eyes, she saw someone walking in.

Li Shuning sat up and asked, "Is there something you need?"

The person who entered was also a Dancing Girl, but of average appearance, and seeing Li Shuning’s languid and charming demeanor, she felt a bit jealous.

"Sister Shuning, Prince Yu is here, and Your Majesty is hosting him at Yongqing Palace. The mama says we should get ready."

Li Shuning frowned. She had already gained the Empress Dowager’s favor, and everything started to deviate after meeting Prince Yu for the first time.

Which means it’s today; the timing of her arrival in this world was perfectly aligned.

"Got it."

"Sister, get up quickly. Shall I help you get dressed and made up?"

Li Shuning nodded. She had received the plot details, as well as this body’s innate skills, such as dancing and singing.

From the previous days onward, others helped her dress up, which was one of the conveniences after gaining the Empress Dowager’s favor.
