Nine out of ten gamblers lose; I've run into a jerk!

Please watch the video for Chapter 2!

So, curses are that effective?

Shen Qing lay face down, clenching her fists and pounding the bed board, filled with regret—a very, very, very intense regret!

If I had known Wendy had this hidden ability to make her words come true, I shouldn't have... gone to that lousy party!

They are aware, but not many.

"Gurgle—" My stomach rumbled loudly, much to my dismay.

Shen Qing stiffened and sighed dejectedly.

This morning, upon discovering that she had indeed transmigrated into the body of a woman, Shen Qing, unable to accept reality, became emotional and threw herself into a lake, hoping that she could die and return to her original body.

The lake water in early spring was icy cold, a suffocating feeling pressed against my chest and lungs, and my consciousness gradually faded away...

How did they finally get up there?

He can swim, and before he knew it, he was on the surface. Damn instinct!

Having narrowly escaped death, Shen Qing's resolve to commit suicide was no longer so firm. At least he could die a full-fledged death.

Since we're already here, let's see how things go. If we can live, great; if not, then die!

After rousing herself, Shen Qing wanted to call someone to bring some food, but she stopped herself as soon as she opened her mouth.

What was that little girl's name again?

"Fuck you!" Shen Qing covered her head. "You've already transmigrated, but you didn't even give me any of the original owner's memories!"

Foolish humans, fusing with other people's memories will drive you insane.

Just as Shen Qing was about to use the old trick of pretending to have amnesia, a smug voice suddenly popped into her mind.

"Who!" Shen Qing sat bolt upright in shock, recalling the ethereal, strange, and mechanically synthesized voice from just now, and tentatively asked uncertainly, "A...system?"

[As expected of my chosen host, yes, I am the legendary cheat code that can help you defy fate and reach the pinnacle of life...]

"Wait a minute, you brought this over to me?" Shen Qing seized on the key point, suppressing his anger and forcing a 'kind' smile. "May I ask, System Master, what do you see in me?"

At this moment, the system was unaware of what it was about to face and was still smugly pleased with itself.

[This system is officially called the "Charismatic Heartthrob System," and you are the human with the highest charm value in your plane, so I have chosen you.]

Shen Qing smugly flicked a stray hair from his forehead, then immediately suppressed his upturned lips. Didn't they even consider gender? His ex-girlfriend, the queen of the sea, wasn't bad either, so he only chose the best, not the most suitable, right?

[Be proud, humans. Come on, let's go through the formalities.]

[Does the host agree to be bound to the "Charismatic Conquest System"?]

"Not."

【Okay... Huh? ⊙?⊙?】

"Tie you up my ass! You interdimensional human trafficker!" Shen Qing pointed at thin air and cursed, "Get her back right now!!!"

【…】

"I was already at the peak of my life, and you turned me into the lowest point of my life, and I should thank you for that!"

How can you call it a low point? She's the eldest daughter of a prestigious family!

“This place,” Shen Qing pointed to the furnishings, “is ancient!”

Then he pointed to himself, "Woman!"

In the 21st century, it is not easy for women to survive, let alone in a feudal society where men were superior to women.

"What's the difference between your actions and kidnapping a female college student and selling her to an impoverished mountain area?!"

Wen Ying paused slightly as she twisted the needle, then pulled the silk thread and said, "The silver charcoal in the lady's room is almost used up. Go and get some more."

Upon hearing this, Fangyu looked up and called out to the little maid sweeping at the courtyard gate, "Qiaoqiao, go and fetch some silver charcoal!"

"...You should go too, and while you're at it, bring back this month's allowance for Yilan Courtyard. Qiaoqiao is too impulsive; you're not as efficient as she is."

"Oh dear~ you're just trying to coax me with sweet talk~" Fangyu said reproachfully, her lips curving into a wide smile that almost reached her ears. She quickly got up and caught up with Qiaoqiao, chatting and laughing as they walked away.

[As long as you have enough strategy points, the system shop has everything you want.]

"There are no free lunches in the world, only traps."

[I'm not one of those run-of-the-mill systems where you get rewards for free just by signing in; you have to work hard and figure things out for yourself.]

"Can we go back?"

The system opened the shop, a dazzling array of goods, all sorts of strange and wonderful things. Scrolling to the very end, I finally saw the Boundary Breaking Return Card – a strategy point.

Shen Qing raised an eyebrow: "How many strategy points can you normally get by conquering one person?"

[For ordinary people, 1-10]

"..."

Seeing Shen Qing's unfriendly expression, the system quickly added...

The more prestigious the status and the greater the influence, the higher the "conquest value." For example, an emperor can reach a maximum conquest value of [missing information].

"Ha~ Where are we going to find a hundred emperors?"

This is an era of 16 kingdoms divided into one. The strategy points for princes, generals, and officials are also very high. These are not unattainable tasks. I'm not the kind of system that just makes empty promises.

Seeing that Shen Qing remained silent, the system pressed its advantage.

[Does the host agree to be bound to the "Charismatic Conquest System"?]

“Damn.” Shen Qing crossed her arms.

Why?!

Shen Qing scoffed, "I'm perfectly fine. I haven't been in a car accident, I haven't gotten sick, and I haven't died from overwork. You dragged me here, and the biggest benefit of working myself to death is to buy my freedom? What's the difference between this and a madam forcing a woman into prostitution?"

【…】

The system regretted its past actions, recalling when it was a newbie and would create all sorts of accidents when choosing hosts. However, it had been smooth sailing for so many years, and all the hosts it encountered had good acceptance, making it exclaim that it was indeed the chosen one.

Then it got carried away, and the process became increasingly simplified at the beginning, just like a sixth-grade student's broadcast gymnastics can never be as standard as a first-grader's, unconsciously omitting too many movements in the day-to-day repetition.

"Human, don't be so stubborn. If you don't activate the system soon, I'll eliminate you and find a more sensible host." The system's voice turned cold.

"Oh, so you're not pretending anymore." Shen Qing gave him a look that said, "You really are a villain." "Come on, apply it. Anyway, I don't want to live anymore."

【I applied it... I really applied it!】

"Hurry up, don't block my path to reincarnation!" Shen Qing retorted, completely adopting a "what's the worst that can happen?" attitude.

【…】

After a long stalemate, the system finally gave in.

Honey, she's really a good person, not some evil villain.

Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He had won his gamble. He had guessed from the moment the system kept asking him to agree to the binding that it was not omnipotent and must have certain limitations.

Business is not impossible, but you must take the initiative. At the very least, you must first figure out what the strategy value is before exploring!

He was brainstorming in his mind, but his expression remained completely unchanged.

"Hmph~ You still say you're not an evil system? Then let me ask you, where did the original owner go!"

The system was taken aback; this was the first time someone had asked such a question. Usually, the system would assume that the original owner was dead, since no one wanted to bear the stigma of possession.

[Having reached an agreement with the supreme deity, voluntarily offering up his physical body, he has already been reborn.]

"Who would be so young and from such a wealthy family as to think of sacrificing themselves?"

[It's true, the original owner was a reincarnated person who couldn't live the ending she wanted in three lifetimes, which is why she made a deal with us.]

Rebirth? Three lifetimes? The original owner wasn't simple either. Shen Qing had some guesses in her heart. What was the Main God? And what kind of organization was "we"?

"I don't believe you unless you have evidence," Shen Qing said, feigning irrationality.

The system, in a fit of impotent rage, roared:
