Why?

Crimson stained the entire residence of the prime minister. Over a hundred servants and masters lay dead in the courtyard.

And in the middle, a child under ten years old lifted his smudged face. The child with features like a New Year's painting doll let out a question like a dream murmur.

A pair of adorable little faces wore expressions of bewilderment, chubby little hands clutching themselves protectively to their chests, while a sword pierced their back. "Mother... why?"

It seemed as if he were waiting for a reply, or perhaps speaking to himself. When the moment arrived, the little man could no longer hold back his tears and burst into sobs.

Why?

The heart-wrenching voice was especially clear in the vast and empty Prime Minister's mansion.

Why is Daddy framing Grandpa?

Why did Father have to kill over a hundred people at the Chancellor's residence?

"Why doesn't Father even spare Mother?"

Why?

Word by word, sentence by sentence, it seemed as if the words would overwhelm the little one. Tiny hands, stained with fresh blood, clutched their mouth, gasping for breath, and every question pierced the heart of both listener and hearer, bringing tears to their eyes.

However, there was no reply except for an echo.

The air was thick with a heavy, fishy stench. After what felt like an eternity, the sound of steady footsteps broke through Gu Nuannuan's contemplation. She stared blankly at the armored soldiers before her, then her gaze landed on the man leading them – none other than her third uncle, the current Generalissimo and Grand Marshal of State, Gu Wu.

"Warm Warm"

The sound of his voice sent a shiver down Gu Nuan's spine, and she hurriedly grabbed her already icy mother's hand.

The words my mother had said echoed in my ears.

"Warmth, run away! Don't trust anyone. Your grandmother, your father, they all want you dead. Run!"

Run, yes, run away, you have to run.

Gu Nuan Nuan quickly got up, cautiously eyeing the pulse's kin in front of her. She took small, hurried steps backward.

However, the next second, he was seized by the guards.

Gu Nuan Nuan was covered in tears, staring at Gu Wu, her hands trembling. She wanted to ask him why.

"Nuannuan, if you behave yourself, you'll still be my dutiful daughter."

Gu Nuan Nuan clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging in, the pain bringing back a sliver of rationality. She strained and finally managed to break free, but stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud.

Gu Nuan warmed her hands and feet, crawling to her feet. Step by step, she walked in front of Gu Wu. Looking up at the man who had once been like a mountain in her heart—the man who gave her safety, the man who let her live carefree. Why, why did he become a murderer?

Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs, is father going to kill me?

Gu Nuan's hoarse voice made the air suddenly quiet.

"Daddy, tomorrow is my tenth birthday. Daddy promised Nuan Nuan that he would take her to the spa in the countryside. He said it would make Nuan Nuan's body stronger and she wouldn't get sick anymore."

"Daddy, you said you would take Nuan Nuan and Mommy to see the jewelry that came from a foreign land. You said you wanted to dress Mommy up beautifully."

"Daddy, you"

"That's enough!" Gu Wu suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes holding no emotion. "Nuan Nuan, if you listen to me, I'll spare your life. If you want to be reunited with your mother, I'll naturally send you there."

The cold voice caused Gu Nuan Nuan's heart to plummet into an icy abyss.

"Father, I am your son," a soft sigh, perhaps reminding Gu Wu of the bond between them, or maybe lamenting for himself.

Gu Wu sneered, "It's all your mother's fault."

Why

Gu Nuan Nuan bit her lip hard, her fists clenched tightly at her sides. She stared at Gu Wu's face and asked word by word, "What did my mother do wrong? What did my aunt and uncle do wrong?"

The heart-wrenching accusations only made Gu Wu more disgusted.

Gu Nuan Nuan laughed instead. She had a sharp mind since she was young, but her mother protected her well, and she never wanted to overthink things. However, as long as she turned her brain slightly and combined what happened with what she knew, there was nothing she couldn't understand.

Di Guwu has had one wife and one concubine up to now.

Everyone envied the mother for getting a husband, but no one thought that the father was guarding the concubine as precious jade.

Father Gu Wu, was kind to himself, but he was extremely strict with his half-sister, Gu Xiangyan. He thought it was because he liked himself, but he didn't expect it was to cultivate his sister's abilities.

Nowadays, in the capital city, who doesn't know that Gu Jia has two sides? One is proficient in everything from qin (zither), chess, calligraphy and painting to sword riding. The other loves to eat, drink, play and have fun.

This is all thanks to daddy!

"Nuan Nuan"

"You shut up!" Gu Nuan Nuan roared, her usually adorable face now contorted with fury. The small figure whirled around, snatching the sword from a nearby guard, and without hesitation, plunged it into her own heart.

Gu Wu was finally shocked. Looking at Gu Nuan Nuan, he couldn't say a word.

"Those who loved me are gone, and I, Gu Nuan Nuan, will not live alone."

"I only wish to offer myself as a sacrifice. In the next life, I will no longer be someone else's target, and I will not allow my loved ones to die."

"Warm Warm"

The sound of silk brushed against my ears, yet I had closed my eyes and plunged into darkness.

"God, if there's a next life, I wish to kill my enemies with my own hands and never be blinded by them again."

"Ding, congratulations host, fifth thousand task complete, awarded with a Rejuvenation Pill." A mechanical voice echoed in Gu Nuan Nuan's mind.

Gu Nuan Nuan opened her eyes, her lips parted slightly. "Change,"

Looking at the Rebirth Pill in her hand, Gu Nuan Nuan couldn't help but smile.

I thought I would die myself, but for some reason, I became bound to a so-called system. To be able to avenge myself with my own hands, I agreed to the system's terms and went to five thousand parallel worlds, completing five thousand missions.

And every world shocked him greatly, and he understood that his original world was so backward.

Five thousand tasks, no one knows how to persevere. The hard work and tears inside are only known to oneself, but being able to obtain the Rebirth Pill is enough.

"Host, please note that once you take the Rejuvenation Pill, you will be unlinked from the system. After rebirth, everything will be faced by the host alone. Good luck."

It was still the mechanical voice, but I could hear a deep sense of reluctance beneath it.

"Host, don't worry about me, I will find my next host."

Gu Nuan Nuan raised an eyebrow. "I'm not worried about you."

"Host, please do not argue or doubt the scanning function of this system. This system clearly sensed the host's reluctance towards it."

Gu Nuan Nuan "self"

As soon as her voice fell, Gu Nuan Nuan immediately swallowed the Rejuvenation Pill. In the second before she fell into a coma, Gu Nuan Nuan softly uttered, "Thank you, I wish you all the best, Erdog."
