“May I ask, divine lord, have I successfully completed the task you entrusted to me?”
“Yes, very smoothly.”
“Can I stay then?”
“You still need to complete two more tasks, then you can officially stay.”
“Please speak, divine lord.” Yu Yi heard a low laugh again, her eyebrows twitching, wondering about this heavenly god…
Before she could think further, her surroundings changed. This was an ordinary room, currently empty except for herself.
Yu Yi carefully examined the room. It was a bedroom, seemingly belonging to a middle-class family, but the furnishings appeared somewhat shabby. She secretly speculated whether this was a fallen household, and what task the heavenly god wanted her to do this time.
She saw a bronze mirror on the table, walked over, and picked it up to examine her reflection. This was not her own face, but a strange woman’s. The woman was around twenty years old, with fair skin, curved eyebrows, round eyes, and a pleasant appearance, though not stunningly beautiful. A subtle melancholy lingered between her brows.
Yu Yi focused intently, remembering from the previous encounter that the heavenly god could speak to her at any time and quickly transmit thoughts to her.
The heavenly god showed her the important details of this woman’s past.
Her name was Jin Zhi, married into the Liu family. After three years without children, Liu Zheng Yu took a concubine. The concubine, Zhou Hong Yan, was clever and sweet-talking. She was respectful to Liu’s wife in front of Liu Zheng Yu and served him meticulously. Initially seeking a child, Liu gradually spent more time with Hong Yan, even misunderstanding his wife due to Hong Yan’s secret machinations. He handed all household affairs to Hong Yan, effectively marginalizing his wife.
Here’s the edited version of the article:
“Simply put, your task is to eliminate the rift between husband and wife, make Liu Zheng Yu see Zhou Hong Yan’s true nature, and help the couple restore their marital affection.”
Yu Yi immediately responded, “Can I have a different task?”
“Why? Can’t you do it?”
Yu Yi blushed slightly, saying softly, “Eliminating the rift and reducing the concubine’s favor, I can manage. But regarding the husband and wife matters… I absolutely, absolutely cannot…”
