Quick Transmigration System: Male God, Come Here
chapter-1061-14072105

After Qi Chimu married Bai Weiwei.

Bai shi no longer guarded against him. Although she still loathed him, she at least gave her daughter face.

She also didn’t implement her previous plan of stopping him from taking the imperial examinations.

And Bai Weiwei, in accordance with her wish, accepted the mini task without any pleasant surprise.

【Ding! Stop the male lead from taking the imperial exam. Failure permitted.】

What was with this ‘failure permitted’ part added on at the end?

Bai Weiwei’s eyes lit up. “Tongzi, is it to try to stop him from taking the imperial exam and then fail to stop him?”

System: “It’s not that you’re being allowed to fail, but that there’s no punishment for failure. The follow-up is saying that you can fail, but you need to take some sort of preventative action. Plus, this action you take has to use your full efforts1. Only like this will nothing happen even if you’re exposed by the male lead.”

Saying this, the system added, “Having this kind of add-on where failure is permitted must be because in the last life the Bai family blocked the male lead from taking the imperial exam, but it was a failure.”

Therefore, it was necessary to block the imperial exam.

But failure was possible.

Bai Weiwei: “Can’t hold back? Qi Chimu hasn’t even taken the provincial exam yet. He’ll have to take the entry-level exams, and he’ll have to take tests for the next year until he can become the top scorer. Don’t tell me I have to stop him every single time ba2.”

Although the timing of the imperial examinations changed a bit.

Scholars of all ranks3 would have to take each test, then take the court examination next year.

The system calmly flipped through the data, then chewed on its instant noodle seasoning packet before saying, “Every time.”

Bai Weiwei: “…”

So her one and a half year of capture time was actually just to use her as Qi Chimu’s stumbling block?

There was no time to be lazy.

For the first time, Bai Weiwei pondered the meaning of the main system.

After thinking about it, she concluded, the main system was a Huang Shiren4, an exploiter of labor, an evil demon.

If there’s a chance, she must tie it up and feed it to the dogs.

The system gave 10,000 likes to the host for this lovely thought.

Right as Bai Weiwei finished communicating with the system.

The door swung open. The embroidery hoop in her hand jerked, and the needle pierced her finger. Blood flowed out.

Qi Chimu walked in and saw his younger cousin tightly gripping a needle, watching him in both disgust and fear.

He saw the blood on her finger, and his eyes darkened. “How could you be so careless?”

Bai Weiwei knew that her character settings had already become that of a vicious woman who hated her cousin without end.

There was no way Qi Chimu liked this person.

The more she hated him, the more she liked to toss her about, and the faster the favorability would rise.

What kind of fucking perverted way of increasing favorability was this.

Qi Chimu didn’t put her attitude in his eyes.

Bai Weiwei was already someone he could completely control. Even while he was in such dire straits.

She was unable to go against him.

Under his schemes, the gossip outside had already reached the skies.

That she had been defiled by bandits, and there was no one who wanted her.

That even Bai shi had given up on her.

That Bai shi no longer paid attention to her.

His deep affection for her, who would believe he was faking it?

Everyone knew she was willful and arrogant, and he had always tolerated and cherished her.

So even if she went out and accused him of tormenting her, nobody would believe her.

Qi Chimu’s dark scheming had completely succeeded.

He walked over to her, bending over to grasp her bleeding hand, but Bai Weiwei evaded.

She watched him vigilantly, instinctively trembling at any of his intimate approaches.

This was an unfortunate result of being tossed about by him for this period of time.

She had lost a lot of money from using a dozen substitute patches.

A dozen.

In her eyes, Qi Chimu was now a monster who ate up her life value.

1: (不能)放水: lit. release water. Can be used to describe throwing the game or letting the other party win/pass despite being weaker/less competent. Based on context, it probably means that Bai Weiwei can only be let off from being punished even if she fails to actually stop Qi Chimu if she puts all her efforts into stopping it, instead of being half-hearted or deliberately making it easy for Qi Chimu to find out what she’s scheming.↩

2: For the sake of my sanity (and maybe yours) because I can’t organize and keep track of pinyin as well as I can English. The 乡试 (xiangshi, provincial exam) and 童生 (tongsheng, entry-level exams) make up the four lowest levels of the imperial examination system. They are held at the district and provincial levels, respectively. The entry-level exams are further broken down into the 縣試 (xianshi, county exam), 府試 (fushi, prefectural exam), and 院試 (yuanshi, college exam). Basically, if Qi Chimu wants to take the top scorer position in the imperial examination (the highest level in the examination system), he’ll have to start from the entry-level exams and work his way up to the imperial exam.↩

3: 童生秀才举人: titles used to refer to students who have passed the lowest 4 examinations in the imperial examination system. 童生 (tongsheng) for passing the county/prefecture exams, 秀才 (xiucai) for passing the college exam, 举人 (jiuren) for passing the provincial exam.↩
