Translator: Henyee Translations       Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Ruolan and the leader of the martial arts world had spent several months in the capital, exploring all the exciting places both within and outside the city, indulging in all the culinary delights the region had to offer.

Despite the emperor’s invitation, the martial arts leader chose seclusion, accompanied by Su Ruolan, and declined to stay further in the capital.

Upon their departure, Qin Zhenzhen felt a profound sense of relief.

In the original storyline, Su Ning met her demise at the hands of Su Ruolan, a chilling thought that lingered in Qin Zhenzhen’s mind. Fortunately, in this life, they had not crossed paths, and the relationship between Su Ruolan and the emperor held no romantic entanglements.

Qin Zhenzhen’s influence had significantly altered the books plot and character trajectories.

Su Lan, initially destined for a tragic fate, had now found happiness, marrying a good husband, having children, and leading a content life in the countryside.

Qin Zhenzhen’s transformation of the gangster into a potential city defense commander marked a significant turn in Su Bin’s life. The book’s villain had become the Prime Minister, genuinely concerned about the welfare of the country and its people, and, most importantly, possessed strong moral values.

Su Qing, once a perverted character, evolved into a strategic businessman and Qin Zhenzhen’s reliable right-hand man.

Su Cheng, with initially evil intentions, met a different fate and emerged as an elegant young master adept at managing business affairs.

Su Ning underwent a drastic transformation from a villainous supporting actress obsessed with love in the original book to the legitimate empress, achieving her desires across two lifetimes.

Even Qin Zhenzhen’s four tormentors experienced positive changes.

The most significant transformation was observed in Qin Silong, realizing his dream as he ascended to the position of a young general.

The only constant was the inevitable ascent of the Third Prince to the throne, foreseen to become a rare and wise ruler.

It was rumored that Miss Su Ruolan had presented the emperor with a handwritten compilation of advice aimed at stabilizing the country.

The emperor, delighted with the gift, engaged Su Bin in a night-long discussion.

Su Bin shared this with Qin Zhenzhen, and what lay ahead seemed to promise a new golden age.

The Old Marquis, ailing and aware of his limited time, summoned the strength to visit Su Bin.

Initially reluctant, Su Bin, unwilling to tarnish the Old Marquis’s reputation further, reconsidered at Qin Zhenzhen’s urging. “Let’s go meet him. He’s your biological grandfather.”

With the Old Marquis nearing the end of his life, Qin Zhenzhen didn’t want Su Bin to harbor any regrets.

When they met, tears welled in the Old Marquis’s eyes as he handed Su Bin the death exemption card with both hands.

“This death exemption card was obtained through the sacrifice of our ancestors. I present it to you now.”

Su Bin hesitated, saying, “This belongs to the Marquis Mansion. Why are you giving it to me?”

The Old Marquis insisted on leaving the death exemption card.

“Listen to my counsel. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Even if your generation encounters a wise ruler and faces no immediate threat, I cannot guarantee the same for the future.”

“Accept this death exemption card. It can safeguard the lives of your family.”

“Even if you choose not to acknowledge me, in my heart, you will always be Marquis Mansion kin.”

“You need not worry about the Marquis Mansion. The hereditary position is relinquished, and they lack the capability to pursue official positions. I have made arrangements. After my demise, they will relocate to a countryside farm, far removed from the capital.”

If he wasn’t beneath the emperor’s authority or serving as an official, he had no intention of undermining the emperor’s dignity. Whether he desired the death exemption card or not was inconsequential.

After sharing so much, the Old Marquis found himself a bit breathless. When he turned to depart, his steps were unsteady.

Su Bin couldn’t help but step forward to support him. “Grandpa, please be careful.”

Touched, the Old Marquis welled up with tears.

He understood that although Su Bin addressed him as grandpa, he wouldn’t return to the Marquis Mansion to honor his ancestors.

Yet, he felt content.

Upon returning to the Marquis Mansion, the Old Marquis personally composed an announcement and affixed it outside the estate.

In it, he acknowledged his past mistakes and openly admitted to being the most inept father in the world.

The entire realm rejoiced in celebration of the empress’s wedding.

The emperor devoted three months to meticulous preparations, orchestrating a magnificent wedding for Su Ning.

Su Bin’s siblings had all gathered in the capital for the joyous occasion.

As night fell, Su Bin indulged in drinks at the wedding banquet.

Upon returning to their chambers, he embraced a slightly tipsy Qin Zhenzhen.

“Wife, every moment of this night is worth a thousand gold…”

Qin Zhenzhen playfully clicked her tongue. “Look at you! We’re already an old couple. Why play the role of a groom?”

Su Bin chuckled. “After marrying you, my wife, I want to be the groom every night.”
