Chapter 200 -200: Side Story: Ning and Yan Kongqing (Children)
After Fu Huaichu’s ascension to the throne, there were a total of three offspring in the Imperial Family.
Fu Zhezhi went from being Commandery Princess Zhaoyang to Princess Zhaoyang, becoming the dynasty’s very first princess.

From a young age, she had been incredibly smart, a prodigy known far and wide, adept at bookkeeping and accounts review. She was exceptionally skilled when it came to financial matters.
Zhezhi’s learning capacity was outstanding, and Fu Huaichu had the Grand Tutor educate her and Zheye; they both did very well, to the point where the Grand Tutor lamented that if Zhezhi were not a girl, she might have achieved great accomplishments.
While Su Zhiruan was pregnant with Zhesheng, Zhezhi and Zheye tenderly took care of her, even prompting the Palace Attendants to praise the prince and princess for their filial piety.
After giving birth to Fu Zhesheng, Su Zhiruan did not neglect Zhezhi and Zheye in the slightest.
She knew that generally, when there is a second child, a younger infant, people’s hearts tend to favor the smaller child, leading the older children to feel neglected and emotionally distanced from their mother, sometimes even rebelling.
Having raised many children herself, she was well aware of this principle. Therefore, even after the birth of the second prince Zhesheng, she made sure to talk with Zhezhi and Zheye every day, so they would not feel any favoritism or lack of love.
Fu Huaichu also took great care of all three children.
In this way, time flew by rapidly, and the children grew up quickly. Because Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu showed no favoritism, Zhezhi and Zheye wholeheartedly accepted their younger brother, feeling that although a brother or sister was born, the love they received from their imperial parents was not diminished, and this acceptance came naturally.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye.
Fu Huaichu and Su Zhiruan were nearing fifty, and looking at their growing children, they felt truly proud from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhezhi, Zheye, and Zhesheng all had strong opinions from a young age.
Originally, Fu Huaichu had wanted Zheye to become the Crown Prince and later ascend the throne.
But to his surprise, Zheye did not accept his proposal and instead took the opportunity to sit down and have a serious talk with Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu.
Having studied under a master from Jianghu since childhood, he was fascinated by the Jianghu world as described by his master and dreamed of a life of wandering, unconstrained by the confines of the Imperial Palace.
In comparison, Zhesheng seemed a more suitable candidate.
Indeed, Fu Zhesheng was more fit to be an emperor; he was reserved and discreet, with profound scheming. Growing up alongside Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu, he possessed innate intelligence, which, coupled with his education, made him truly more suitable for the throne.
Thus, Fu Huaichu respected Zheye’s dream and allowed him to follow his path of swordsmanship across the realm.
Latter on, it was said that Zheye attained a high status within Jianghu and even solved many troubles for the court, eventually becoming the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch.
Although Zhezhi was a princess, her talents did not go unrecognized. Su Zhiruan entrusted the management of her businesses to Zhezhi, who became renowned. Additionally, being a princess of the Imperial Family, she encountered hardly any obstacles, and having watched Su Zhiruan conduct business from a young age, she grew the enterprise even further, eventually leading the Su Family to become the country’s greatest taxpayer.
Zhesheng, the youngest, yet after his ascension, he conducted himself with prudence and stability, quickly proving capable of governing on his own, giving Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu peace of mind.
When Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu grew old, all three children stayed by their side, personally caring for them, striving to make them laugh, and bringing their grandchildren to keep them company by their bedsides.
Su Zhiruan was the first to depart this life.
The day she closed her eyes for the last time, it snowed.
“This snowfall is just like our first encounter in Capital City,” she could no longer see, but could faintly feel that the person who had been by her side her whole life was sitting right next to her; reaching out her hand, as tightly clasped as when they were young, she smiled, “It’s as if… there’s a beginning and an end…”
After saying these words, she closed her eyes forever.
In the bedroom, her descendants were all present; she had passed away, but her bloodline, in her children, continued to live vibrant lives.
She lived on in everyone’s hearts.
…
[Congratulations, host. Task completed, you will now leave the world—]
After returning to the System Space, Su Zhiruan felt her energy instantly restored.
[Does the host want to rest for a while?]the system asked her.
“Sure,” Su Zhiruan casually crossed her legs and sat down, “It felt quick, yet it was a full lifetime, hard and real. Ah, life is indeed so brief.”
[A human’s life is only a mere hundred years, and the body is quite fragile.]
“Yeah,” Su Zhiruan lay flat on the ground of the System Space, “Life is short, just a few moments, a few beautiful moments.”
[The next world will be easier, set in the modern era.]
“Okay, you arrange it,” Su Zhiruan lay on the ground, feeling sleepiness overcome her, “Just directly transfer me when it’s time.”
…
“Get out, get out, get out, have you no shame?!! Can’t you see Director Jiang and his fiancée here, what are you doing?!”
Su Zhiruan hadn’t opened her eyes, but she already sensed ear-piercing roars and heavy metal music.
Instantly, she felt her head was about to split.
“Ruanruan, believe me, this slut has always been pestering me, I truly love only you.” A man’s voice, slightly panicked, approached, trying to wrap his arms around her, but Su Zhiruan swiftly dodged.
After she opened her eyes, she found herself in a private room at a bar, with flickering lights above and a table in front piled high with bottles of alcohol, exuding a fragrant aroma, along with dice and various other knick-knacks, and including her, there were six people seated. All except her were men.
To her left was an open space, and to her right sat a man who looked visibly anxious, his eyes fixed on the girl who had appeared at the door, taking deep breaths.
“See for yourself? Still dare to pester Director Jiang and Miss Su, so eager to be a mistress?” the man who had spoken earlier mocked the girl at the door with a sneer.
Su Zhiruan could clearly hear the heavy breathing of the man next to her, and looking down, she saw Director Jiang’s hands clenched into fists.
She could tell at once that he was not as indifferent towards the girl as he pretended to be.
But right now, she genuinely didn’t care, so Su Zhiruan took the initiative to stand up, walked to the door, and calmly pointed to her seat, “What if she has something to discuss? Let her come in for now. I’ll go to the restroom for a moment.”
Director Jiang seemed to want to stand up and follow her, but the girl bluntly blocked him.
Su Zhiruan did not head to the restroom but walked out of the bar, taking a breath of fresh air.
The smell of smoke in the private room had been too strong, giving her a headache.
“System, deliver the plot.” She was currently wearing loose jeans and a short top, so Su Zhiruan didn’t fuss and simply sat on the steps waiting for the plot.
Before the plot arrived, she casually lifted her eyes and saw a group of people walking out of a teahouse not far away.
The man in the center who was surrounded by the crowd was very young, dressed in a black Mandarin suit, the tallest among the men who respectfully surrounded him. Su Zhiruan took a glance from afar, noting he seemed expressionless with a string of beads on his wrist.
At that moment, the plot came.
After she received it, she felt a bit nauseous.
