The Resolute Cannon Fodder Teaching In Ancient Time

Chapter 11: Eleven Treasures ✨

Xu Zhen had read many books, but this one stuck with her because it was the only book she had during her time volunteering as a teacher. Even though the book was melodramatic, nonsensical, and a yuri novel, she had read it all the way through. The story was about a heroine who, in her quest to protect her country, kept reincarnating to stop a villain. Eventually, she teamed up with another heroine to save the nation.

But the villain...

The villain's character design made Xu Zhen want to cry. Coincidentally, the villain was named Xun Qianchun. She was described as having Hu features, a scar at the corner of her eye, and being silent and aloof. She was someone who disowned her relatives. Except for the last trait, the description matched Little Beggar perfectly!

No wonder being around Little Beggar earned her merit points—she was benefiting from the villain's presence!

Moreover, the villain's background was tragic. Her entire clan was wrongfully executed, and she was the only survivor. Vowing to clear her clan's name, she roamed far and wide. Eventually, she succeeded, but her success went too far. Not only did she overthrow the original ruler, but she also became an empress herself. Coming from a line of generals and having witnessed much darkness while on the run, she ruled with an iron fist, ushering in a Legalist regime.

The people, used to living under the moderate and benevolent Confucian culture, were thrown back to the harsh Qin era, and they were miserable. Scholars denounced her, and the people wailed.

The book's heroine was a victim of this regime. She died under its harsh rule and was reborn...

If the story ended there, Xu Zhen wouldn't be so scared.

She was frightened because—

The heroine reincarnated ten times before finally defeating the villain! That showed how formidable the villain was!

In the first five reincarnations, the heroine tried to kill the villain early but failed each time. In the later attempts, she realized she might try to reform the villain instead. So, she tried to encounter the villain during her exile and become friends. However, perhaps because her intentions were too obvious, the villain remained wary and used the heroine as a tool, leading to her death again.

Unwilling to give up, the heroine tried over and over.

In the ninth attempt, she finally succeeded.

Just when she thought she could save the country—

The villain killed her with a sword, saying sincerely, "If you want to be with me forever, why not become blood and mud, staying by my side? That way, neither of us will suffer."

... Back then, Xu Zhen thought it was merely a case of the villain turning dark, so she read on. But she was too naive!

It wasn't just a dark turn.

The villain had a unique trait—

The villain was poisoned with a rare toxin. Whenever she felt deep emotions for someone, she would be in unbearable pain, and the only relief was to kill the person she cared about. The villain's Hu mother, in a moment of madness, poisoned her with this, embedding the toxin into her bones from a young age, leaving no cure.
