Yu Chu’s head bobbed in the waves. A wave smacked her back down under water once more.
She was speechless.
Finally, she managed to grab hold of a wooden plank. She widened her eyes and surveyed the surging violent waves around her, looking like a pitiful child.
“System, where is this place?”
“The world of the fake Little Mermaid.”
Yu Chu’s heart surged violently. She had a premonition, hence she asked.
“I know about the story of the little mermaid. Isn’t it a fairytale? Why did you say that it’s fake?”
The system fell silent for a moment before it replied, “You will understand once you meet Master.”
Yu Chu fell silent.
She had been with Master for a few centuries. When she was a baby, Master had adopted her. Even though Master had retained his youthful looks, he was like an elder to her.
Master’s soul had dispersed everywhere. She had bound herself to the system and came to retrieve the fragments.
As to how she should retrieve them…
She had to depend on the system’s strategy.
The name of the system was ‘Master’s Soul Strategic Position System’. Naturally, the strategy didn’t refer to love, but rather to getting close to and seeking approval. There were various forms of approval which included admiration, respect, appreciation…
As long as it was a form of approval.
Yu Chu asked, “Then what should I do in this world to get Master’s approval?”
The system replied coolly, “I can only advise you of the strategy after you’ve met Master. Do note that the system will only provide you with strategies. The host will have to decide on the method and execution based on your own judgment.”
Yu Chu thought to herself, ‘Why would I need you, then?’
However, she heard that the system was designed personally by the previous Master. So it should be reliable… right?
She clung onto the wooden plank as she asked weakly, “What is the plot now? Which proprietor am I using right now? Does she have any wishes?”
A proprietor was the body that Yu Chu’s soul was using. The proprietor had to match Yu Chu’s soul in order for her to use it.
Furthermore, if the proprietor had an unfulfilled wish, Yu Chu had to fulfill the wish before she could use the body.
After the transaction began, Yu Chu would have a period of time to use the proprietor’s body.
If she didn’t fulfill the proprietor’s wish before the deadline, the transaction would be considered a failure and she wouldn’t be able to use the body.
The system’s voice rang, “The current plot is that the proprietor is a prince in a fairytale. His wish is to cancel his wedding engagement. He wants to marry a man. The time you have is five months. Host, please be reminded that if you didn’t fulfill his wish in five months’ time, you won’t be able to use the proprietor’s body anymore.”
She was speechless…
Hold on. Something wasn’t right.
Yu Chu was puzzled. “Why would he want to marry a man?”
The system answered, “Touch your body.”
Instinctively, Yu Chu raised her hand and placed her palm on her chest. Her eyes widened in surprise.
“The prince… is a girl?”
Yu Chu blinked several times as she held onto the plank. Her mind raced as she began to receive the proprietor’s memories.
As the sole heir to the kingdom, Princess Lai En was brought up as a boy. She had to marry a princess due to a political marriage arrangement between two countries..
Yu Chu asked, “I just want to know something. How did she get through the wedding night?”
