THE SISTER

Red like spilt blood was her first impression, as she opened her eyes and viewed her surroundings. Her seat was slightly shaking; she seemed to be in a carriage. She was dressed in blood red garments with a veil partially blocking her view. Gold threaded red brocade was draped and satin cushions placed all around, an epitome of luxurious travel.

" System, have you finished analysis? What's our situation?"

" Analysis Complete…The stat window for 616-Han Xixi is provided. Please view.

NAME : Han Xixi

CODE : 616

PROFESSION : Human Transmigrator

WORLD SETTING : Ancient Empire with huaxia influence

BASED ON: The Dark Emperor's missing empress.

BODY STATUS : Female protagonist's half-sister

ROLE: Antagonist."

"Wait a minute, why would I occupy the body of a major character? Is this not against the rules?"

" This world is on the verge of collapse Xixi. If we can correct the timeline just once, the world will reach its natural end. This world's story has repeated too many times. We are facing, both a reborn heroine and a transmigrated antagonist. The plotline is the story of a girl unwanted by her father after he remarried his long time lover few days after the death of her mother. The mother was murdered by the father and his mistress for her property. The heroine - Xu Qingyu was abandoned in a servants room, while her illegitimate half sister and brother with their mother were glorified as her father's family, who is the Minister of War for the current Emperor. She has an engagement set at birth with one of the princes of the Minan Kingdom, which is where you are currently."

" Don't tell me the half sister is involved with that prince!?"

" The prince she is engaged to is a neutral party. He will marry whosoever will provide him with the greatest benefit, especially for his ambition for the throne. But the half sister did indeed try to seduce him several times but failed as of yet. But the story has gone extremely awry! The sister is occupying the female protagonist's body, the female protagonist is occupying the body of a maid, the sister killed in a rage and you, are in the sister's body. Both sisters remember their previous lives. Currently we are at the beginning when the half sister replaced the heroine in her wedding sedan."

" I'm getting married!!! To that prince!? Can I not put a stop to it?" Xixi became agitated. She did not want to be married even if the body was not her own!

" You must, otherwise the story will derail! The Male lead is not this prince. He is only a secondary male lead. The hero is the recently ascended emperor of a neighboring empire. In the original story, when the half sister - Xu Ranyan tricks the 3rd prince - Ning Xiao into marriage, the step mother sells the Qingyu into slavery. The heroine was bought by the the dark emperor when she piqued his curiosity. He was in diguise. This is just the basic outline of the novel. I have enclosed the entire novel in the chip. I shall upload it's contents directly into your memory so that you will not be caught unawares." explained the system.

" Alright, but what must I do to succeed. Isn't this world too difficult for a first timer like me?" . There was definitely someone conspiring to get her killed, otherwise why would a world on the verge of death be given to a newcomer.

" Xixi, do not worry. I will be providing help within my purview. You must first transport the misplaced souls back in place and then you can take the maid's body currently occupied by Xu Qingyu. Also you must prevent Xu Ranyan from making first contact with the Dark Emperor - Jiu Yun. She is no longer interested in Ning Xiao. You must ensure the original ending. The half sister and other minor antagonists must die only when they are really supposed to, and not a moment earlier. Please review your plan of action. The carriage has arrived at the Prince's residence. Do not tip off the prince about your identity. There is a sleeping drug in your pouch. Use it at your discretion."

Just as the system became silent, the carriage stopped but she couldn't hear much noise. Then she remembered that the prince silently married her into the household without a proper ceremony. Ranyan had been too infatuated to notice. What a foolish girl this was, she sighed in her heart. As the carriage door was opened and curtains pulled apart, she hardened her heart and her eyes became colder as she took the first step to save this dying world.
