The Curse

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Apr 29, 2020

The Qin Dynasty has been prosperous for many years.

Fu Heng was a cold, wise, and ruthless emperor. He inherited the throne when he was 16 years old. He married prime minister Zhou's daughter, Ya Hua at the age of 15 and became a father at the age of 16.

Fu Heng has been ruling for 4 years now. Under emperor Fu Heng's ruling, the Qin Dynasty has bloomed even more.

For political stability, he also takes other princesses from neighboring countries as concubines.

Under his court minister's suggestion, he also agrees to take ladies from other lower ranks officer households as concubines.

By the age of 20, Emperor Fu Heng had 3 sons, and 1 daughter, and a total of 6 consorts that consist of one imperial noble consort, 2 noble consorts, and 3 consorts. He had about 35 concubines and was still waiting for the other 10 ladies, who he had just accepted to take as concubines that have yet to arrive at the palace.

Despite having many consorts and concubines, yet the empress position still remains empty as he has yet to bestow the empress title to any of his consorts, or concubines.

In the Zhang's mansion, the mourning period for the main wife, Shu Ying, has just passed.

Zhang Lin was the oldest son in the Zhang's family household. His mother passed away not long ago from a weird disease. However, he knew that the real reason behind his mother's death was that his mother got poisoned by his father's concubine.

Zhang Lin hated his father, Zhang Lee. He knew that his father is the cause of his mother's death since his mother is the main wife in which his father's concubine always fight for that position, and his father clearly loved his concubine, Fan more than Zhang Lin's mother in which he often turns a blind eye when concubine Fan hurts Zhang Lin's mother.

Concubine Fan became the main wife of Zhang's family household after the death of Zhang Lin's mother.

Concubine Fan has a daughter, who is the same age as Zhang Lin.

Li Na was concubine Fan's daughter. Fan dotted and spoiled her daughter a lot, which results in her daughter being illiterate.

Li Na is a pretty lady, who likes pretty clothes and jewelry. She likes being bossy and has a nasty personality.

Li Na was supposed to be sent into the palace as a concubine for the emperor, however, while she was eating at a fancy restaurant she overheard some commoners saying how old and ugly the emperor was and that the emperor has too many concubines to the point that she lost her appetite, and left the restaurant.

On her way back to the Zhang's mansion, Li Na couldn't help, but recall back to what the commoners were saying about the emperor.

Li Na could only feel disgusted when she recalled what she heard about the emperor.

Li Na is someone who likes wealth, but that doesn't mean that she will let anyone have their way with her.

One thing she hated the most is ugly people.

Beside she already has a crush on this handsome scholar, Chen.

Humph! You old pervert. Wanted to marry me when you already have countless concubines. In your dream, there is no way I will marry you old pervert... Just you wait, I will send you a gift.

"Haahahahahahha." Li Na couldn't help, but laughed out loud with the crazy idea that she has just came up with.

The servants and maids by her side was startled by Li Na's sudden laugh.

What a crazy lady, they all thought inside to themselves.

Reaching home, Li Na then started to put her plan into action.

"Mother, Li Na is home."

"My baby Na." Fan called with open arms ready to embrace her precious daughter.

Li Na quickly came forward to hug her mother. She then started her fake acting with a fake sobbing.

Hearing her precious daughter cry, Fan couldn't bear to listen and quickly comfort her daughter.

"Xiao Na, what is wrong with you? Did someone bully you? Was it Zhang Lin? Tell mother, I will teach them a lesson for you."

"Mother. Wuuuuuwuuuuuu. Li Na, don't want to live anymore. Wuwuwuwu."

"What is wrong with my baby? Tell mother, and I will make sure to bring you justice."

"Zhang Lin...Zhang Lin..he...he slapped me in the face. Wuuuuuuu."

"What! How dare him! Servant call Zhang Lin over."

Seeing her mother's reaction, Li Na knew that her plan was working.

"Wait, mother."

"What now? Let's talk after I teach that bastard a lesson. Go wait in your room for mother."

Of course she couldn't let her mother go and hit Zhang Lin not because she cares about him. She hated Zhang Lin to the core for having such a look that she could only dream about. As for the reason why she stopped her mother was because she's going to use Zhang Lin as her replacement, and she couldn't let her mother ruin her plan.

Li Na quickly grabbed her mother's robe to get her attention.

"Mother, Li Na wants to talk to you about something very important. Can we talk in your room?"

Seeing her daughter's serious expression for the first time, Fan could only nod.

Inside Fan's room, there was only the mother and daughter. The servants and maids have long been dismissed.

"Mother, I don't want to marry the emperor."

"What!" Fan was shocked by her daughter's words. From what she remembers her daughter had always wanted to live in the palace like a princess, so why did she suddenly change her mind?

Beside she knew that her precious daughter likes wealth the most, and isn't being a concubine and living in the palace gives her daughter the life that she had always desired.

"I said I don't want to marry the emperor. Besides, I already have someone that I like."

"But it's a decree from the emperor that all the officials must send their daughter as a concubine to serve the emperor."

Li Na couldn't help, but felt disgusted at her mother's remarks.

As if I would serve that stinky old man!

"I don't care. I'm not going to marry the emperor. And if you don't agree with me...I...I will run away from home."

Fan was stupefied. Besides money, Li Na was the most precious thing for her. There is no way she would let her run away from home. Thus, she could only agree with her daughter.

Seeing her daughter like that, Fan knew that her daughter must have a plan.

"Since you don't want to marry, then do you have a plan?"

"Of course. Since it's the emperor's decree then naturally we will follow it."

Fan was confused by her daughter's words, so she asked, "Didn't you say that you don't want to marry the emperor then how are we supposed to follow the decree?"

"What I mean is that I will need a replacement."

"What! Are you out of your mind? Not only you, but the whole family can get killed if the emperor finds out."

"Don't worry mother. Listen to what I have to say first.” She then continued, “I'm planning to have Zhang Lin as my replacement."

Fan widens her eyes and quickly interrupts her daughter, "Li Na, my dear, I think this is a bad idea. I mean if we are going to find a replacement, shouldn't we find a woman? Despite his look, Zhang Lin is still a man. If the emperor finds out not only we have someone to replace you, but on top of that we send a man, he will definitely be angry to the point of killing the whole family."

Li Na smirked.

Exactly, that is what I want. Let that old man die from anger. Hahahahahahahahahaha.

"Mother, didn't you want to teach Zhang Lin a good lesson for me? Sending him into the palace is like sending him to hell. Once the emperor finds out that he is a man, the emperor will definitely kill him on the spot."

"But..but..."

"There is no but. Besides, don't worry. Look, if we send Zhang Lin into the palace as a concubine, and the emperor finds out, we could just push all the blame to Zhang Lin for stealing my place."

"True. But how will we get him to replace you? I think he will most likely disagree with this plan."

"Of course he won't agree to it, which is why we have to use knock out drugs. While he is unconscious we will send him into the palace on my place. And don't worry, I believe that he won't reveal the fact that he is a man, unless he has a death wish."

After listening to her precious daughter's plan and explanation, Fan finally agreed with her daughter.

That night when the maids send food to Zhang Lin's room, Li Na has already put the knock out drugs in the food.

Zhang Lin really has no appetite for food. Since his mother's death, he hasn't eat anything for almost 4 days. His body is currently very weak, and didn't feel like eating anything, but he knew that he had to eat something to get strong, and find evidence regarding his mother's death.

Zhang Lin only takes two bits of the congee and suddenly feels suffocating. Before he could react, everything had gone dark.

Fan and Li Na were just outside his door listening to his movements. Hearing the thump sound, they knew that Zhang Lin had been knocked out. They open the door slowly, and can see Zhang Lin with his head laying on the table.

Unbeknown to them, but the knock out drug that they give to Zhang Lin has a side effect that if fed to someone who has not eaten for at least three days, it can kill the person.

Seeing the unconscious Zhang Lin, both mother and daughter were happy, and didn't notice the fact that they had killed Zhang Lin with the drug.

The wedding is happening the next day.

When morning comes, both mother and daughter quickly dress up Zhang Lin in a wedding dress, and put him into the wedding carriage. They weren't worried that he would wake up in the process since they were told that the knock out drug would last for about 2-3 days, which means that by the time Zhang Lin wakes up, they would have reached the palace by then.

It was a lovely bright sunny day.

In the capital of Qin, the commoners are all busy setting up their stalls preparing to sell foods, and other goods.

In the busy streets of the capital, a wedding carriage was on the way to the palace.

Inside the wedding carriage was the unconscious young master, Zhang Lin from the Zhang's household.

The emperor did not come out to welcome his newly taken concubines. Instead he was in his study room handling the country's affairs.

About to reach the palace, inside the wedding carriage, the unconscious Zhang Lin slowly starts to open his eyes.

Ming Yu feels very tired, but still makes the effort to open his eyes since it was very noisy.

Ming Yu was shocked to see himself dressed in a red dress when he lifted off the red veil from his face, and what is more surprising to him was the fact that his hair had grown very long.

Wtf...am I dead? Where is this? What is happening?

Unbeknown to Ming Yu, the curse had transmigrated him into another time period.

The girl that got rejected by Ming Yu couldn't help, but curse at him.

Girl: Ming Yu, you bastard! You know that I clearly like you for so long, yet you didn't even hesitate to reject me. You evil bastard. I...I curse that in this lifetime you will live a miserable life, and if possible I hope that you will get TOP by someone else for rejecting a sweet girl like me.
