Transmigrated into a useless female in interstellar space, she won big by picking up an SSS-level be

Jiang Zhixia was utterly stunned!

So that's how it is!

She wasn't the only fake prince; Jiang Ting was also a fake prince!

Ahhh, no wonder Jiang Ting noticed her mental energy reacting to him, but never said anything!

So... the last time he so openly admitted to feeding his own spiritual body was to tell himself—he is not of royal blood!

Her disguise hasn't been exposed!

Su Chen was also stunned.

A look of shock flashed in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Zhixia for confirmation.

Does the princess know about this?

However, Jiang Zhixia quickly suppressed her shock and nodded repeatedly at him with a straight face.

"Oh right, right, big brother is an adopted son. Don't worry, big brother isn't some... pervert."

She couldn't control her expression just now; even the fake prince's gaze towards her was off.

Hold on, hold on! The disguise has been recovered, it can't be lost again!

Upon hearing this, Su Chen lowered his eyes slightly, "Princess...did you always know?"

Jiang Zhixia glanced at Jiang Ting's probing gaze and nodded emphatically: "Yes, I know."

Su Chen clenched his fists tightly, his voice low and hoarse: "Then, Princess, do you like him?"

"Did the princess consent for him to kiss you while you were unconscious?"

Thinking back to that day, when Jiang Ting kissed the unconscious princess in front of him, he wanted nothing more than to tear this hypocritical guy to pieces!

Jiang Zhixia: "...?"

Is that true?

She blinked and slowly shifted her gaze to Jiang Ting's outrageously handsome face.

Oh... so besides that forced kiss, this man took advantage of her once more.

So that's how he fed the little white flower last time.

She glared at him, somewhat annoyed.

The indifferent man met her gaze without the slightest guilt; a fleeting smile even crossed his eyes.

Su Chen noticed their exchange of glances and said dejectedly, "So it's what the princess likes... I was just being nosy."

After saying that, he collapsed onto the bed and fainted.

Jiang Zhixia: "..."

Jiang Ting raised an eyebrow: "Send them to the palace?"

……

Inside the palace, the Empress Dowager rubbed her temples, her head aching.

Wu Zhan stood by her side, serving her water.

The queen shoved him away in frustration, looked up, and asked, "Are you sure the damage is serious?"

The healer standing before him bowed and said helplessly, "The princess's fiancé has indeed suffered severe damage to his mental strength. The deer clan's mental strength was never strong to begin with, and now it's even more so..."

Wu Zhan listened with a sigh, muttering, "Isn't that just being a cripple?"

The queen was already annoyed, and upon hearing this, she suddenly grabbed his ear: "You still dare to talk back?! Your daughter is still hanging around a useless man! Tell me, should this contract be entered into or not? What about the marriage agreement?!"

Wu Zhan grimaced, protecting his ears: "Return! Return! Right now! Pick something better for our daughter!"

The queen released her grip and sighed heavily.

It's easier said than done.

It's not like I've never seen a daughter so persistent in pursuing a male she likes.

Bai Zhiyu caused such a fuss back then, and now she cares so much about Su Chen. What if she insists on making Su Chen her legal husband?

...How about we have a proper talk? If our daughter insists on having this Su Chen, then let him be her concubine?

Jiang Zhixia was holding Su Chen's test report and looking at it carefully.

Previously, Su Chen's mental strength had been damaged due to long-term electric shock abuse, and now, due to the impact of drugs, the fluctuation of his mental strength has almost disappeared.

D-grade males are practically no different from useless people.

The healer made it clear: there was no way to reverse it; given the Empire's current level of scientific research, recovery was impossible.

Jiang Zhixia put down the report, glanced at Su Chen, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and sighed softly.

The plot has gone off track again.

In the original storyline, Su Chen's mental strength wasn't damaged to this extent; otherwise, how could he have become a therapist in the military?

The door was gently pushed open.

Jiang Zhixia turned her head, raising her eyebrows in surprise.

Jiang Ting, contrary to his usual demeanor, changed out of his general's uniform and into a simple casual outfit. The fitted black bodysuit was tied with a silver leather belt, which accentuated his waist and legs. His cold aura had faded considerably, replaced by a more ascetic feel.

He walked in, frowning as he looked at her: "You should go and rest."

She rushed out overnight to bring Su Chen back to the palace, and she hasn't closed her eyes since.

Jiang Zhixia really cares about everyone.

Jiang Zhixia was indeed a little sleepy, so she looked away, said "Oh," and obediently followed Jiang Ting out.

She followed behind the man, stealing glances at him again and again.

Wow, look at that guy, so tall and long-legged, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist...

He's really handsome.

Jiang Ting shoved her into the bedroom and watched her go to bed.

He closed the door and took out his personal computer.

His slender fingers slid across the virtual screen, pulled up a male fashion store, and he gifted it 10,000 gold coins without any expression.

This is a famous shop in the capital city, specializing in providing males with clothing combinations that can attract the attention of females.

He didn't miss the little glance the female gave him earlier.

It works well and is worth the price.

He paid no attention to how terrified the clothing store owner was after receiving the prince's real-name donation, repeatedly confirming the donor's ID three times, staring blankly at the 10,000 gold coins in the donation.

Jiang Zhixia lay on the quilt and soon became drowsy.

Oh dear, that's great, my alias is still there.

As long as Jiang Ting doesn't know she's a fake princess, there's no question of him pulling her down from her princess position.

This period of time terrified her!

The biggest weight was lifted from my heart, and I fell into a deep sleep within seconds.

After waking up, she went to check on Su Chen again.

He was still dizzy, but his breathing had become much more stable.

Although she strongly disapproved of Su Chen's self-harming behavior, she knew that he did it for her sake.

But precisely because of this good intention, Su Chen may be completely ruined.

Jiang Zhixia felt guilty looking at the unconscious Su Chen.

Her original intention was to keep Su Chen away from the female lead and preferably have him stand on her side, so that she would have some confidence when fighting against the female lead in the future.

According to the original plot, Su Chen was the Empire's top healer, renowned in the military. Later, the inhibitor he developed with the female lead benefited the entire orc society.

But now, because of an engagement, he might be nothing anymore.

She dejectedly tucked the blanket around Su Chen and turned to leave.

Su Chen slept for a whole day, and the Empress was a little anxious, so she had a heart-to-heart talk with her daughter.

"Xiaxia, tell your mother the truth, do you really like Su Chen?"

Looking at the Empress's worried eyes, Jiang Zhixia knew that given Su Chen's current situation, if she said she didn't like him, he would lose everything.

After bowing to her mother, she pleaded sweetly, "Mother, let's postpone the ceremony for now, okay?"

The Queen Consort, with a knowing look on her face and cold, beautiful eyes, earnestly advised her, "Daughter, if you really like him, just give him the position of a concubine. We can choose a new husband for you. Your mother will pick someone better, okay?"

Jiang Zhixia stubbornly shook her head: "Let's talk about it after he wakes up."

She still had someone else's "dowry" in her hands, so she had to wait for Su Chen to wake up and make a decision.

Before the Empress could offer any further advice, Jiang Zhixia blinked and unleashed her ultimate move.

"How about making Bai Zhiyu the official husband?"

The Queen's expression hardened, and she spoke rapidly, her face turning cold: "Wait! Let's wait! Let's wait until Su Chen wakes up!"

Don't be silly.

Choosing a husband for their daughter was for the purpose of serving and protecting her. Even if Su Chen was a cripple, at least he was gentle and could be used.

But she still vividly remembers how her daughter from the Peacock Clan had humbled herself for him and caused chaos at home!

Bai Zhiyu should never even think about entering the royal family!

After the Empress finished speaking, fearing that her daughter would again try to persuade her to say how much she liked Bai Zhiyu, she turned and left, her steps quick as the wind.

Jiang Zhixia suppressed a laugh as she watched the Empress leave.

Bai Zhiyu's existence really lowered the Empress's expectations for her official husband.

Come to think of it, the original owner almost drove her whole family crazy because of Bai Zhiyu. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor couldn't do anything about her. At most, Jiang Ting could only put her in confinement for two days. Not to mention her second brother, Jiang Huai, he had to go to Bai Zhiyu's birthday banquet to cheer her up.

Huh? By the way, why haven't I seen my second brother lately?

Jiang Huai had a very difficult month.

He had just returned to the palace from the border star field, and was so exhausted that he was about to explode. Before he could even catch his breath, a servant rushed over to inform him.

"Your Highness, the First Prince is waiting for your report in the study."

Jiang Huai let out a wail and turned a corner to see his elder brother.

The study door opened, and he stepped in with one foot, paused for a moment, and silently pulled his foot back.

He looked at the man inside wearing the latest trendy clothes, turned his head to look outside, and then turned his head back.

...Is this the imperial palace?

Holy crap!? This guy is the boss?!

Jiang Ting glanced at him impatiently and said, "Come in."

Hearing the familiar, cold tone, Jiang Huai scratched his head blankly and came in with a puzzled look on his face.

"Brother, you've retired?"

Isn't the general's uniform welded to his body?

What's with this outfit?

Jiang Ting gave him a cold look, ignored his nonsense, and cut straight to the point.

"How's the investigation going?"

When it came to serious matters, Jiang Huai became serious in a second: "We found out. It is true that someone deliberately approached my sister, and they specifically targeted the people around her."

He turned on his personal computer and sent the data to Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting sat down at his desk, unfolded the documents, and a complex network of transactions and communication records appeared on the virtual screen.

Jiang Huai continued, "At first, we thought the Zerg were stupid enough to openly buy royal information on the black market, but after investigating, we found out it wasn't the Zerg, but rather the Federation's actions."

"Moreover, only Zeng Wenwen could see the information about the acquisition of royal family members' whereabouts. Zeng Wenwen also confessed that someone offered her the black market trading channels."

Jiang Ting flipped through the documents without saying a word.

Jiang Huai had been working non-stop for a month and was exhausted. He yawned and said, "My father has pretty much destroyed the black market. The trail went cold in the Federation. I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to rest for a bit. I'm too sleepy."

He had just turned around when he was called back.

"etc."

Jiang Huai turned around and saw his older brother looking hesitant. He opened his mouth to speak.

"How's my outfit...?"

Jiang Huai: "..."

Brother, don't be like that, you've scared me half to death.

What exactly happened this past month?
