Yunlang - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

“Why is Your Highness staring at me like that?”

His pure white robes hung in disarray, half undone, and his ink-black hair fell straight past the curve of his hips. Yan Zhi lowered his eyes, his long, thick lashes trembling faintly.

My mind was completely blank. I still hadn’t recovered from the shock of transmigrating into a book when his younger brother, Yan Zhu, stepped forward, tugged at the hem of my robe, and knelt at my feet. In a soft voice, he asked, “Did we brothers fail to serve you well, Your Highness?”

The two brothers had nearly identical, devastatingly beautiful faces, snow-pale skin, and deep crimson lips. They were dangerously alluring.

I snapped back to my senses, almost bewitched by the look in their eyes, and hurriedly waved my hand, flustered. “Withdraw!”

Who knew how many Gu insects they had hidden on their bodies…

As someone who had been terrified of bugs since childhood, I absolutely did not dare go anywhere near them.

Seeing my panic, Yan Zhi narrowed his dark eyes. An unreadable smile curved his lips as his fair, slender hand settled on my leg, drifting and stroking…

“Did Your Highness not say that the two of us were to attend your bed tonight? Why, at a time like this, are you telling us to withdraw instead?”

The touch against my leg was icy cold. Yan Zhi’s roaming hand felt like a slick, chilling snake…

I couldn’t help shuddering. I slapped Yan Zhi’s hand away and pulled my leg back.

“This princess has suddenly lost interest tonight. I will summon you another day. The two of you may withdraw for now.”

Yan Zhi and Yan Zhu exchanged a glance, then gave a soft laugh. Obediently, they rose and bowed to me.

“Yes. We take our leave.”

The moment they turned around, the docile look in their eyes vanished without a trace. Their crimson lips lifted into bloodthirsty, crazed smiles.

Dangerous, cruel, and ice-cold.

After the twins left, the System finally showed up late.

“Sorry, host. I forgot to tell you. Your mission is to dote on the twins like in the original book and cooperate with them in completing their revenge, thereby unlocking the ending: Plaything of the Twins.”

My face went as dark as the bottom of a pot.

“What do you mean, Plaything of the Twins? Why does that sound so improper?”

The System’s electronic voice let out an awkward laugh. “It means exactly what it says… Anyway, just dote on the twins according to the plot. Besides, the twins have already planted Gu in you, so you can only go along with them now…”

My pupils practically shook.

The twins! Had already! Planted Gu in me!

The moment I imagined a worm burrowing around inside my body, my skin crawled all over, and I wanted to scream and go insane.

This was madness! Those two were rotten with madness down to the bone. They actually dared to plant Gu in me, the Eldest Princess, the very first time we met!

But then I thought about it. This world was a revenge-and-court-intrigue novel, and Yan Zhi and Yan Zhu were the male leads, so it was normal for them to be a little unhinged.

They had been born into a wealthy family and raised in luxury, but when they were five, an elder in their family accidentally offended the Third Prince.

The Third Prince ordered the twins’ entire family beaten to death with rods. Only the two young, pitiful brothers survived by hiding in the cellar.

However, their mother came from Miaojiang and was skilled in Witchcraft and Gu Arts. The two brothers were innately brilliant and painstakingly studied Witchcraft and Gu Arts, all for the sake of killing every member of the imperial family one day.

At that, I couldn’t help complaining, “So what does their grudge have to do with me, the Eldest Princess?”
