"A bunch of useless trash!"
Atop Zichen Hall, the Emperor in his yellow robe was furious, and a jade porcelain teacup beside him was smashed to the ground, instantly shattering into pieces.
Below knelt a large group of women, all concubines of the Emperor, lying on the ground, not daring to breathe a sound.
Even the usually arrogant and domineering Noble Consort was trembling with fear today.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger—"
The concubines were also desperate; why couldn't they bear children?!
Ever since the previous emperor had passed away and His Majesty had ascended the throne five years ago, there hadn't been a single prince or princess under his knee.
The court officials were anxious every day, choosing concubines and Imperial Physicians, but to no avail. The harem had no offspring, the former dynasty would be unstable, no wonder His Majesty was so furious.
"Stop talking about them, Emperor. Dressed in silks and fed with jade, living in the Imperial Palace, not one of them is of any use! Just looking at them annoys me. If this continues, when will I ever hold a grandson? All of you, leave!" The Empress Dowager disdainfully glanced at the colorful array of women below, even her usually beloved niece, the Noble Consort, was annoying to look at now.
The Empress Dowager waved her hand, and the women left after giving their salutations.
Only some palace maids and eunuchs remained in the great hall.
It was at this time that Su Zhiruan woke up. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself kneeling on the ground, with a small Palace Maid kneeling beside her. She suddenly realized, she really had entered the Transmigration World!
In her previous life, she was an ordinary worker in the modern age. After an accidental death, she was bound to a Childbirth System, which promised her immortality and endless wealth if she could complete the tasks in the Small World.
[Welcome to your first mission! I am your System 001, let's work hard together from now on!]
"What's the Childbirth System for? Just keep giving birth?" Su Zhiruan asked in her mind; outwardly, she remained motionless, still kneeling with her head lowered in the great hall.
Without the Emperor's or Empress Dowager's command, no one dared move, or it would be tantamount to seeking death.
Especially since the Emperor was still seething with rage.
[Yes! As the leading characters of the dimensions, these male protagonists should have been surrounded by descendants, ruling over all under the heavens, and having excellent spouses. But something went wrong, the leading characters actually have no offspring. They have greater fertility than normal people but cannot have their own children. The system has determined that perhaps their aura is too strong, incompatible with ordinary women]
"So I am the one to change their fate of having no descendants, right?"
Su Zhiruan acknowledged that she understood; being an outsider with a system, she naturally differed from ordinary women.
[Right, you indeed are a very clear-headed person. Previous hosts cried and made a fuss, tried to mess things up, and eventually collapsed the dimension]
"Alright, I agree."
She saw things very clearly. Having died once in her past life, she cherished her life a lot.
Now that things had come to this, instead of weeping and refusing to do the task, only to die again, it would be better to properly complete the task, bear a child for this man who was destined to have no descendants, and then live a good life.
The System was very pleased with such a host.
[Thinking it through is the best, and in doing so, you are also saving the world. The citizens of countless Small Worlds will survive because of your arrival]
[Here is a Newbie Gift Package for you, consider it as a blessing from the system]
Su Zhiruan responded in her mind and then opened the Newbie Gift Package.
[Ding~ You have successfully opened the Newbie Gift Package]
