The Beloved Chosen for a Political Marriage, I Turn Around and Edit the Strongest Background!

"Ning Que, it is a supreme honor that your woman could be selected for a political marriage!"

"Yet you dared to cause an uproar at court, defy the imperial decree, and injure a colleague. What crime is that!"

A deafening sound of judgment echoed in his ears.

Ning Que woke up groggily, looking at the resplendent imperial palace before him, as well as the dense throngs of armored imperial guards surrounding him.

He jolted in a fright.

Damn! Where the hell did this send me?

And damn it, this hurts like hell!

The intense pain made Ning Que's sturdy frame shake, and the next moment, a massive influx of information surged into his mind.

Only then did Ning Que understand what was going on.

He had time-traveled.

He had transmigrated into a chaotic era.

The original owner was an ordinary soldier of the Great Li Dynasty.

Relying on a fierce and ruthless drive, he had survived the battlefield and also earned some military achievements.

He had thought he could finally let his wife at home live a good life from then on, but then a piece of news about a political marriage arrived-the Great Li Dynasty decided to accept the marriage alliance terms of the enemy Mara Dynasty, sending a woman to the enemy Mara Dynasty!

Yet this woman to be married off was neither some imperial princess nor a courtesan of great talent.

She was simply the original owner's fiancée!

The moment he heard the news, the original owner completely lost his mind.

He charged into the imperial palace all by himself, wanting an audience with the reigning Empress to question her why she had to make an ordinary commoner's daughter endure all of this!!

The result, naturally, was that before he even crossed the gates of the royal palace, he was arrested as a rebellious partisan.

This is way too miserable, isn't it?

He won the battle, but lost his wife at home?

While feeling sympathetic, Ning Que also felt a dull ache in his groin.

How did he transmigrate into such an unlucky bastard?

How was he supposed to handle this?

Fight an entire dynasty all by himself?

Stop joking around!

Though to be fair, his wife was truly gorgeous...

Gentle and serene, kind and virtuous, her appearance could also be called peerless.

No wonder she caught someone's eye.

He could only say that a woman on this brother's level was not someone he could hold onto.

"Ning Que, do you know your crime?!"

With a loud shout, the Minister of Personnel, Wang Yong, puffed out his large belly and walked down from above.

"The rise and fall of the realm is the responsibility of every ordinary citizen! The glory, disgrace, prosperity, and decline of the Dynasty are closely tied to every person in the world. Now, sacrificing your wife can exchange for more than a decade of peace across the four seas. What are you still dissatisfied with?"

Disdain filled Wang Yong's eyes as he spoke indifferently.

Behind him stood the resplendent Golden Throne Hall, with a plaque hanging above it, bearing four bold and vigorous characters written in a flying, dragon-like script-Serving the Public Good!

Ning Que's fury was instantly ignited. He slowly raised his gaze, looking at Wang Yong and the surrounding imperial guards.

"I know your grandmother's crime! Why doesn't your wife go for a political marriage? Why doesn't your elderly mother go?"

"Are the scions of the Great Li royalty and the noble daughters all dead? You have to send an ordinary commoner's daughter to marry?"

Ning Que was truly enraged.

Perhaps Ning Que had also been a small figure before transmigrating, so he empathized completely.

There was no bullying people like this!

Could the daughters of commoners be casually seized for a political marriage?

Did the ordinary people in troubled times have no human rights?

Could the fates of the weak be manipulated at will?

Was there still any justice to speak of?

Ning Que's questioning was powerful and resonant, falling like clashing metal and stone as it echoed across the foot of the imperial palace.

It made the expressions of both Wang Yong and the surrounding imperial guards change drastically.

"Y-Y-You... What did you say?! This is the Li Royal Palace, right beneath the Empress's feet, and you dare utter such treasonous words?"

Especially Wang Yong, whose family's female relatives had just been invoked; he was furious, his face red and flushed.

Ning Que watched him with cold eyes, sneering again and again. "What? Am I wrong? Minister Wang, right? Let me rebut you once more-sacrificing a small household can preserve a dynasty's great household? But have you ever considered, with a dynasty so vast reduced to relying on the peace-marriage of a commoner girl to trade for peace, what kind of future is there to speak of?"

"You might as well all surrender early!!"

"BOOM!!!"

As soon as these words came out, towering waves stirred through the entire imperial palace.

Whether it was Wang Yong or every single member of the Imperial Guard, their complexions changed profoundly, expressions of horror emerging on their faces.

No one expected that Ning Que would actually speak such treasonous words.

These words were no different from those of a rebel!

"Audacious! How dare you bewitch the masses and openly plot rebellion!"

"Seize him for me, throw him into the dungeon, and execute him tomorrow at the hour of mao!"

Wang Yong roared hysterically, cold sweat welling up on his forehead.

To tell the truth, he was also scared out of his wits.

If these words were to fall into the empress's ears, the consequences would simply be unthinkable...

When Ning Que woke up again, he was already within the prison walls.

The surrounding cellmates cast astonished gazes one after another.

"This brother, your feats have spread all over the royal palace, and we all admire you!"

"That's right, you spoke the words we didn't dare utter. If we weren't in this prison, we would all want to follow you!"

These people had every one of them entered having committed crimes, some had been wronged, and others were death row inmates with brands struck upon their necks.

Yet at this moment, they looked at Ning Que from the bottom of their hearts, viewing Ning Que as their spiritual leader.

"Pity... I'm going to be executed tomorrow."

Ning Que glanced at the pitch-black night, slowly exhaling a turbid breath.

"If I don't die this time, in days to come I will surely turn this dynasty upside down!"

Cold light flashed and splattered in Ning Que's eyes.

It was very strange; clearly he was going to 'restart' tomorrow, but Ning Que was not panicked, his heart as still as water.

Very soon, dawn was approaching.

The execution was about to take place.

It seemed even the heavens were sympathizing with Ning Que's encounter, as a torrential downpour began to fall.

"Tube, aren't you going to show up yet?"

"If you don't show up again, I might really have to restart..."

Ning Que gazed at that curtain of rain filling the sky, murmuring to himself.

[Ding! The Background Editing System is activated!]

[Binding in progress... Binding successful!]

The next moment, the system's prompt tone resounded in his mind.

Only then did Ning Que's tensed body relax.

He cursed, "You could have arrived early, you just had to cut it so close!"

"Speak quickly! What use do you have?"

[Ding! This system is the 'Background Editing' system. As the name implies, as long as Karma Points are sufficient, you can customize any background and character relationships for the host!]

[Karma Points: After performing background editing, slaying each person who has karma with the host will allow you to acquire Karma Points. Karma Points fluctuate according to the targets' status and strength. They can be used for background editing, mall exchanges, roulette draws, and so on...]

Ning Que gained a rough understanding.

"In other words, as long as my points are enough, theoretically speaking I can possess countless identities?"

[That's right, as long as the host desires, becoming the ruler of all under heaven is not a dream!]

"Forget it, I'm about to be executed, and you're talking about the ruler of all under heaven? It would be more practical to give some newbie gift packs!"

Ning Que glanced outside; the executioner on the execution platform was already sharpening his blade.

[Ding! The newbie gift pack has been distributed!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a free background editing opportunity, the Indestructible Diamond Body, the Strategist's Mind, and the techniques "Back-Penetrating Fist" and "Demon-Subduing Saber Technique"!]

[Shall they be fused?]

"Fuse!"

As the silent recitation fell, Ning Que felt his body undergo heaven-shaking and earth-shattering changes.

The original body's weak physique grew stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally turning into a gleaming bronze color, his vital energy and blood surging mightily.

His spiritual platform also gradually cleared; as if receiving a supreme awakening, he mastered both the Back-Penetrating Fist and the Demon-Subduing Saber Technique directly without a teacher.

An impervious physique paired with top-tier fist techniques and saber arts was simply like adding wings to a tiger!

However, Ning Que understood that these were still not enough to help him survive the ordeal of his execution.

He focused his attention on Background Editing.

"Start editing..."

He silently chanted in his mind.

Soon, rows of entries appeared in Ning Que's mind...

[You are the long-lost offspring of the leader of Flowing Sand, a strange-person organization surging with undercurrents beneath the dynasty. Juzi Ning Yuanzhou of Flowing Sand devoted his entire life to overthrowing the rule of the Great Li imperial family; his ideals won the approval of many capable and unusual people who successively followed and joined, causing Flowing Sand to grow...]

[However, Ning Yuanzhou mysteriously disappeared during an assassination mission, leaving behind only an unseen offspring and a jade pendant. Flowing Sand was left without a leader and disintegrated. Loyalty and betrayal, ambition and original intent, Flowing Sand endures forever, waiting only for someone who can gather them together once more...]
