Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

They said no official business would be handled during the New Year's Eve, but if something important came up, it still needed to be taken care of. Su Tang ate the pigeon soup alone.

She nestled on the couch, wrapped in a warm fur coat, and lazily looked at the little palace maid walking towards her. The little maid had an unfamiliar face, not one of the usual ones.

"Qiu Yue, Dong Shuang, where are they? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The little maid bowed and answered obediently, saying that the other two were busy.

Su Tang smiled. Just because she hadn't been asking about anything recently didn't mean she was stupid.

She let the little maid keep bowing without telling her to rise, then asked the system, "Dog, which side is this little palace maid from?"

Called a dog for the third time, the system's voice was devoid of emotion. "Qin Li's half-brother."

"Hmm?" Su Tang became interested. "I remember he's not from the Great Qin Dynasty, but from the Zhao Kingdom, right?"

The system replied, "Yes, but he is also ruthless. Afraid that his position would be threatened, he wanted to strike first."

Su Tang was speechless. "Is he an idiot? Capturing me to threaten Qin Li? Does he think his life is too boring?"

This person could no longer be described as a ruthless person. He was more like a werewolf.

The system said, "This happened in the original world too. Qin Li also took a certain beauty to enjoy the hot springs, and then that beauty was also captured."

Su Tang asked, "And then? Did risk his life for the beauty?"

The system answered, "The beauty died, and Qin Li led his army westward, sweeping across the Zhao Kingdom. The people of both countries were moved, saying that the emperor was a devoted lover."

Su Tang said with a wooden face, "Do they have some misunderstanding about devoted lovers? Is that what you call a devoted lover?"

The system explained, "After Qin Li conquered the Zhao Kingdom, he named it after the beauty, saying it was to commemorate her."

Su Tang recalled what the system had said before, that Shen Jiu'er had killed all of his sons. Now, with his lover captured, based on her understanding of Qin Li, if he really cared, none of this would have happened. Ultimately, he didn't care. He didn't care about his sons, his wife, or even his country. So from another perspective, this guy wasn't a gentle and powerful male lead at all. All that patriotism and love for the people was fake. In essence, he was a ghost.

"Old dog..." Su Tang said, "I remember you described this as a sweet romance world. Come on, look at my mouth shape and tell me again, is this really a sweet romance?"

System: ...Crap, she found out.

The conversation couldn't go on. Su Tang realized she had been tricked, and her face turned ugly. The system tried to comfort her, but it only made things worse.

The room was warm with burning charcoal. Su Tang, barefoot, walked down from the couch and stopped in front of the little palace maid.

"You're so young, yet blind. You said you didn't want to follow a bad master, but you ended up with an idiot."

The little maid was shocked. She dropped the pigeon soup and pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, but before she could get close to Su Tang, the hidden guards subdued her.

However, the little maid wasn't alone. She had a group of people behind her. Although she was caught, the group still stared at Su Tang.

Su Tang didn't dodge. Instead, she sat back on the couch and drank her tea, as calm as a mountain.

Her composure angered the group, their eyes turning red. "Prince An, Qin Li is not the late emperor's son. He's an illegitimate emperor. Are you really willing to hand over the throne?"

Su Tang laughed and said lazily, "As you can see, I am a woman. The throne has nothing to do with me. If it's given to my brother, I can only be a princess. It's different for Qin Li. His empress can only be me. If I have a son, the throne will still belong to my Qin family. Either way, it won't fall into the hands of others. Since that's the case, why wouldn't I be happy?"

If it were anyone else, they would have tried to hide it and find a high-sounding reason. But not her. She just said it out loud shamelessly, shocking everyone.

She looked at them with a dumbfounded expression, then saw someone entering from the doorway. She immediately ran over, her bare feet flashing, and said with a grievance, "Qin Gege, you're here! They won't let me marry you!" She pointed at them.

Zhao Kingdom's hidden guards: ...No, we didn't! That's not what we meant!

Qin Li held the little girl in his arms. When she ran from the couch, her white, tender feet were dazzling. Dressed in a moon-colored dress, she looked like a little elf from the forest, untouched by the mortal world, so adorable that he wanted to hide her from everyone.

"It's getting cold. It's time for the Zhao Kingdom to change its name." His voice was flat, without any fluctuation.

But Su Tang felt that he was a little scary. Where did he learn to speak like that? She had only said it casually, but he remembered it until now.

"Yi Bao, don't be afraid of me." He looked at her, his voice gentle, but his eyes were almost crazy.

He cared about Su Tang. The surroundings were already filled with his people. The Zhao Kingdom's hidden guards couldn't escape his eyes. He didn't act because he wanted to see if the little girl would leave him if she had the chance.

Su Tang felt a chill down her spine, but she still smiled and said, "I'm not afraid. I'm just thinking about what the Zhao Kingdom should be renamed to."

Qin Li stroked her head, a faint smile appearing between his brows, clearly in a good mood. "Let's call it Yi. It's my dowry to you."

Su Tang: ...Thank you, big boss.

"Ding, the blackening value has decreased by 10%. Current blackening value: 10%."

Before the New Year's Eve ended, Qin Li took Su Tang back to the palace and conveniently issued a decree to attack the Zhao Kingdom.

Back in the palace, Su Tang regained her female identity. Qin Li was lazy and named her Qin Yi, which was only one character different from her original name. The Qin family's generation was all named with the character "An." Without the character "An," she was an adopted daughter.

She thought that life back in the palace would be the same as before, but it turned out to be quite lively.

She looked at the concubines kneeling on the floor, plump and slender, truly a variety of beauties. But she didn't understand, she hadn't become the empress yet, why were these concubines bowing to her?

Qin Li said, "Didn't you say the palace was boring? Choose a few people to play with. It's okay if you don't like them. If anyone offends you, just drag them out and behead them." He finished and saw the stunned expression on the girl in his arms, so he continued, "It's okay if you don't like anyone here. There will be a big selection every three years and a small selection every two years. You can choose whoever you want."

The hall was empty and quiet. His words echoed, clearly audible to everyone, making the beauties tremble.

Su Tang looked at the pale beauties and said with a wooden face, "No need, I like peace and quiet."

She felt that if that day really came, she wouldn't be the one saying "drag them out and behead them." She didn't want her future days to be filled with blood.

Her answer pleased Qin Li again. He was testing her. He didn't like having outsiders around her, neither men nor women. If she had agreed, these concubines wouldn't have survived today.
