Chapter 1846: The Frail Young Master's Clash-Marriage Beauty Wife 01

【Memory Recall Complete】

【Currently transmitting to the next world…Transmission successful!】

Red silk bed curtains, double happiness pasted on the window.

Red candles burn through the night, auspicious lanterns sway.

Vast swaths of red fill the spacious room; just looking at it feels festive.

Jin Chen: "……"

Wrong.

How come I have to get married as soon as I arrive?

【Host, don't get excited! Don't rush to get up, this body can't take it.】

Ling Gun Gun hurriedly had Jin Chen lie down.

【Rest assured, this is your wedding night with the Main God.】

Jin Chen pondered for half a second, then subtly raised an eyebrow, "Wedding night……am I to lie in bed?"

Is this a proper wedding night!

【You don't even have the ability to get up.】

As soul and spirit gradually merged, Jin Chen could clearly feel that this body simply wouldn't do.

Ling Gun Gun gave a weird chuckle twice, 【I've sent you the plot, wow!】

Turns out it wasn't a plot of forced abduction and plunder.

The antagonist Ye Yuchi, the unfavored second son of the third branch of the Ye family in Chuan Ze Cheng, had a weak father and a greedy mother; the Ye household never knew a day of peace, filled with scheming and dire straits.

After Ye Yuchi passed his coming-of-age ceremony, the renowned merchant clan Jin of Chuan Ze Cheng suddenly encountered a major incident.

The Jin family's sickly young master suddenly fell into a coma, even the imperial physicians summoned from the capital were helpless.

Just when everyone in Chuan Ze Cheng thought the frail young master would ride a crane westward, a mysterious old Daoist with a bull-nose appeared out of nowhere at the Jin household and divined a hexagram for this young master.

The hexagram proclaimed that only a clash-marriage could restore the long-ailing Jin young master to health.

When the birth characters of the intended spouse were announced, it turned out to clash exactly with the Ye family's heir, the protagonist's beloved Ye Zining!

Scanning all of Chuan Ze Cheng, which wealthy merchant clan would not want to ally by marriage with the Jin family?

But it is precisely this sickly young master who could die at any moment.

Ye Zining felt fate was playing tricks, refusing no matter what to be the clash-marriage partner, while the Ye family was unwilling to let go of the lavish betrothal money.

That's the Jin family, the number one merchant clan under heaven! Once they become in-laws, good days will follow.

And Ye Yuchi, born on the same day as the protagonist's beloved Ye Zining, only a few hours apart, was swapped by the Ye family to be the clash-marriage partner, after all, following the tradition of the wedding ceremony with the veil over one's head, who knows who lies beneath?

And indeed, that is exactly what happened.

On the night Ye Yuchi entered the household, the Jin young master completely breathed his last; the next day, the Jin parents discovered the clash-marriage groom was not Ye Zining, confronted the Ye family for an explanation, but the Ye family insisted Ye Yuchi had meddled, seeking to climb to wealth.

The Jin family, helpless, divorced Ye Yuchi again, giving him only a small house on a remote street so he wouldn't become a beggar.

Thus the Ye family gained immense wealth, while also letting Ye Zining escape the clash-marriage fate.

Ye Zening, kind-hearted, used that money to open many shops and often aided the exiled Ye Yuchi, whom the Ye family refused to acknowledge.

At that time, Ye Zening also met the young marquis who came to Chuan Ze Cheng to visit his maternal grandparents—none other than the protagonist's love interest, Duan Lingfeng.

They developed mutual affection, growing ever closer.

Just as they were about to bear fruit, Ye Zening caught sight of Ye Yuchi at a lantern festival—Ye Yuchi, who relied on his aid to barely survive—shamelessly hoping to cling to Duan Lingfeng!

He even schemed to spend a spring night with Duan Lingfeng!

How could Ye Zening tolerate this, and how could the Ye family head, on the verge of becoming imperial kin, tolerate it?

No matter how Ye Yuchi explained, nobody believed the handsome young marquis Duan Lingfeng wanted to humiliate him—after all, since the Jin young master's death, Ye Yuchi had become a notorious widower in Chuan Ze Cheng!

After that incident, rumors spread in Chuan Ze Cheng that Ye Yuchi had inexplicably gone mad.

Some said it was because his shameless thoughts were exposed; others said it was because Ye Zening cut off his aid, leaving him starving one meal and full the next; no one knows the cause.

All we know is that after going mad, Ye Yuchi repeatedly put Ye Zening's life in danger, Duan Lingfeng fell into his traps several times, ending up in a sorry state, and the Ye family fell further into disarray.

Later, all of Ye Yuchi's ruthless deeds were uncovered; he was beheaded by Duan Lingfeng's subordinates, and the notorious widower of Chuan Ze Cheng finally died.

He died at twenty-five, without a whole corpse, wrapped in a straw mat and tossed into a mass grave.

Upon waking again, it was that same winter day, the wedding night.

—

The wedding feast, the hall full of joyful guests.

Silk banners hung high from the eaves and corners of the Jin manor, on plum branches—vivid red, the night resplendent.

Inside the gate where the couple should have bowed, only the veil‑clad clash‑marriage groom stood, wearing a brocade robe embroidered with cloud patterns of superb quality, which set off his tall, jade‑like bearing, splendid and noble.

No other guests were present, only the beaming Ye family members, and the Jin patriarch Ji Ji De and Madam Jin Qiao Yan Pei seated on the high dais.

No one dared to cheer the bowing ceremony; the atmosphere was merely tolerable, and Ye Yuchi only felt a deathly gloom, oppressive to the extreme.

The pain of dismemberment still lingered faintly, and in a daze he found himself back at the wedding night—the beginning of every nightmare.

Ye Yuchi didn't know whether his past life's wicked deeds had been exhausted, earning divine punishment that allowed him neither to live nor to die, forcing him to endure this long, painful life over and over.

As he knelt before the high hall, Ye Yuchi saw the Ye family members seated to the side through the red veil; as he rose and lowered his eyes, hatred flowed like poison.

Also good.

Living again, it's also good to make plans early.

Let those he couldn't kill in his previous life die a satisfying death this time.

"Send into the bridal chamber——"

Tree shadows swayed in the courtyard like ghostly demons dancing; the thick, lingering bitter medicinal aroma permeated the yard, unable to dispel even a hint of the deep chill from that gorgeous red silk.

Upon smelling the medicinal scent, Ye Yuchi knew he had entered the Jin young master's Luochun courtyard, his brow slightly furrowed.

In his previous life, from the wedding night onward, even if he were divorced by the Jin family again, he also spent several years as a "Jin clan widower".

"Young Madam, please come in."

Two guide maidservants stopped in front of the bedroom door.

Ye Yu Ci knew that as soon as he pushed the door open, what he would see was the corpse of the young master Jin.

He took a deep breath, the veil covering him so no one would notice, stepped over the threshold, and the maid closed the door.

The room was silent.

Ye Yu Ci walked over slowly, took off the veil and casually tossed it onto the table, fatigue closing his eyes as he supported his forehead to calm himself.

"Cough cough…"

From inside the red canopy came a weak cough.

Ye Yu Ci's pupils contracted, and he suddenly stood up, unable to believe as he stared at the person on the bed.

【Detected the world's plot villain! Triggered Blackening Value, currently Blackening Value: 98!】

【Mission requirement: Clear the Blackening Value, change the villain's tragic ending.】

【Detected that the Host's illness is severe; according to the small world setting, the higher the Villain Heartthrob Value, the better your body will become—please let the villain fall in love with you as much as you like～】

Ling Gun Gun's tone remained flirtatiously cute and cheap.

Jin Chen coughed even more severely, half-propping himself up, and looked toward the other person in the room.

A jade hairpin bound the hair; the phoenix eyes were narrow and long; the features were aloof, icy, and absolutely gorgeous; the demeanor was solitary and chilly, making it impossible to forget them at a glance.

"Who are you?"

Jin Chen barely suppressed the cough, doubtfully looking at the person beside the bed, and also saw the genuine shock in his eyes.

The young master Jin isn't dead!

Ye Yu Ci felt a chill rise from his spine, this being completely different from the previous life, causing the plan he had just made to come to naught again.
