1 My Fate is One That Makes My Wife Prosper

"You don't wish to be forcibly matchmade, right? Student Lin Chang`an?"

A young girl with exquisite-looking features asked.

Several scenes immediately appeared in Lin Chang`an's mind. A 100-kg fatty? A 50-year-old aunty? Or an ordinary-looking girl filled with blind confidence in her own looks? He hurriedly shook his head.

"So, what's your decision after consideration?"

The young girl pushed a contract on the table toward Lin Chang`an.

[Personal Subservience Contract]

Staring at the contract before him, Lin Chang`an sighed softly. He felt a little disappointed and frustrated.

What sort of useless parallel world was this?

Why was it that when others transmigrated, they all led a good life, but when it came to him, he actually transmigrated to such a place?

Three years ago, he had transmigrated to this world. He originally thought that he could depend on the content of the novels, songs, and movies in his mind to swiftly become famous.

Even if he couldn't, he could at least become an internet celebrity (streamer).

In the end, he discovered that this was a world filled with spirit qi where everyone cultivated.

The powerful cultivators could topple mountains and overturn rivers with their bare hands.

Demonic beasts also mutated because of spirit qi. Their bloodlines evolved and they thereby gained terrifying power.

At the same time, the world underwent a huge change. Calamities such as the black fog and bewildering dreams appeared, but there were also places of opportunities such as star caves and dungeons.

Moreover, the science and technology in this world became even more advanced, and their social structure underwent a gigantic earth-shaking transformation.

In order to resist the black fog and demonic beast invasion, and explore the dungeons, almost all countries enacted compulsory birth laws.

It was because the human population was the crucial point for the survival of the species.

Article 22 of Xia's compulsory birth laws stipulated that everyone who failed their unified examination would be forcibly paired up to participate in the task of reproduction.

The unified examination was also the college entrance examination.

Right now, Lin Chang`an was in his senior year, and there was still one more month until the examination date.

Also, what the schools in this world taught were cultivation arts, martial skills, and spirit techniques.

As for the content of the examination, they tested the relevant knowledge as well as practical combat.

To Lin Chang`an, it was almost certain that he would fail.

This was because his talent was truly too inferior. Right now, his qi and blood value were merely 134. Since that was the case, his fate of participating in the practical combat was definitely to be one-shotted.

Usually, if females failed, they might still have some choices.

However, for the males, they were doomed to complete the task of reproduction.

If they failed the examination, their data would be sent to the national data bank for those people who failed to meet the standards, and they would be forcefully paired up with a mate.

After that, there shall be no rest every day and night until a certain target was achieved.

As for who they would end up forcefully paired to, that would depend on their luck.

The partner might be a 100-kg fatty, a 50-year-old aunty, or an ordinary female. It all depended on luck.

The pairing was done nationwide randomly, and the results were posted daily on the official government website.

As for wanting to encounter a beautiful 'celestial maiden' through the pairing? You should stop dreaming.

Before these beauties were forcefully paired, they would have chosen to become subservient to a cultivator or use some other methods.

In any case, they wouldn't benefit losers.

"There's only one more month until the unified examination. Given your talent…Mn, actually I'm doing this for your own good. Chang`an, you understand this, right?" The young girl's eyes were sincere.

Lin Chang`an nodded.

He naturally knew. This choice was better than the fate he was about to face by more than 10,000 times.

Choosing to be subservient to a cultivator would allow him to escape forceful pairing by losing some of his human rights - for example, his right to his body.

But…he couldn't get past his psychological barrier.

Lin Chang`an glanced at the young girl.

She had ice-like muscles and jade bones. Her brows were so beautiful as if they were works of art, and she also had bright eyes and teeth.

Her figure was lithe and graceful, her features flawless.

The most important thing was that she gave off a feeling of incomparable cleanliness.

Moreover, her gaze was extremely clear, and her skin was fair and tender. She was like an immortal fairy that walked out from a portrait.

This young girl was Su Xi`er, the publicly acknowledged campus belle, and she sat at the same table as Lin Chang`an.

If he had to be subservient to this girl, he might have signed the contract.

However, the main point was that the target of the contract was this girl's mother.

"I treat you as my classmate, yet you treat me like your father?"

Even up until now, Lin Chang`an had never met this girl's mother. He also had no idea why her mother noticed him.

Also, Lin Chang`an couldn't help but admit that when he had just transmigrated here, he had once had feelings for Su Xi`er.

When facing a campus belle of such outstanding beauty, who wouldn't have some feelings for her?

But now, things had already developed to this state.

Fate was playing tricks on him.

"Don't worry. My father has long since passed away and my mother also doesn't have any vassals. In addition, she's about to enter the second realm. To you, this is the best choice."

Upon listening to her patient and meticulous words, Lin Chang`an felt very confused. 

(How can you be so open-minded?)

(Or to put it in another way, do you really want to save me so much?)

(Although we share the same table and have a very good relationship to the extent where we sometimes don't distinguish between what's yours and mine, the other party is your mother!)

(Besides, even if you are open-minded, I still cannot get past this psychologically.)

(I'm only 18 and also a transmigrator.)

(If I really agreed, it would simply be too shameful to transmigrators.)

However, after he thought of his fate after failing the unified examination a month later, Lin Chang`an felt extremely depressed.

(If I didn't agree, it would be even more shameful to transmigrators.)

"Give me one more month to consider…"

As he spoke, he suddenly started.

Seeing that Lin Chang`an had fallen into a daze and was staring ahead blankly, Su Xi`er stood up.

"It wasn't easy for me to get my mother to agree. You better not delay for too long…"

After she spoke, she headed out. Her movements were hurried and panicky, but because Lin Chang`an was in a daze, he didn't notice it.

…

After leaving Lin Chang`an's house, Su Xi`er touched a ring on her finger.

An illusory soul materialized and floated in the air.

"What's the matter, Xi`er?'

It was a female soul with a graceful figure and appeared to be around 27 to 28 years old.

She was clad in luxurious clothes that bound her waist.

Her features were refined and flawless, exuding a faint sense of incomparable imposingness and might. In her star-like eyes, one could see bright light flickering. However, she was merely a faint shadow and didn't have a corporeal body.

It seemed like she had died, but it was unknown why her soul managed to remain.

"Master, why do I have to do this? I feel so embarrassed. Now, my face is flushed red."

She touched her face and felt it was scaldingly hot.

"Firstly, you should always make an unreasonable request to lower the other party's expectations. After that, you tell him what you truly want and the other party might end up agreeing."

Su Xi`er gasped and felt enlightened.

"Master, you are so smart!"

The human shadow helplessly shook her head. "Luckily, I'm with you, or I wonder how badly you would have been swindled by others."

Su Xi`er stuck her tongue out. After that, there was a look of grief on her face. "But I feel that doing so is very cruel to Lin Chang`an."

"Can't you simply compensate him more in the future?"

Su Xi`er's face instantly turned even redder. "I…I actually...have not…Mn, aiya…master…"

The human shadow shook her head. "Look at you, I haven't mentioned what type of compensation yet."

Su Xi`er started. "Aiya, master, you should stop talking!"

"I really don't know what you are thinking. Given your talent and background, why would you fall in love with this person? Just because you share the same table as him for three years? Little girl, you are really unfathomable."

Su Xi`er hurriedly denied it. "Master, don't speak nonsense. I…I didn't…I…mn…"

After seeing the human shadow surveying her with a half-smile, Su Xi`er's face flushed again. "Maybe…just a little bit…"

"Sigh, luckily, he isn't that much of a trash."

"So, Master. Why did you agree? You haven't even told me the reason yet."

Her master taught her very strictly.

She kept saying that she wanted to nurture Su Xi`er into the second empress and truly lead their nation to walk into the stars.

Her master would often say this, 'You are different from these commoners. Your goal in this life is to become the empress.'

"If I disagreed, would you stop liking him?"

Su Xi`er was speechless.

The human shadow felt extremely helpless. "Luckily, his fate is one that will prosper his wife. It's very suitable for you."

"Ah? A fate that will cause one's wife to prosper?"

"Yes. His fate will prosper his wife. If you become his wife, you will receive aid from destiny."

"Destiny?"

"I know that this term is a little archaic and should have long been tossed into the dust of history. Your school probably has stopped teaching about it, but destiny truly exists."

Su Xi`er nodded.

She didn't really care about destiny. At the very least, it was very good as long as her master didn't reject Lin Chang`an.

"But why should I act so hurriedly?"

"What if others discover this? There might still be people in this world who understand the art of divination. In addition, the first person he becomes one with will definitely receive a present from destiny. This is because his life matrix is one of the most resplendent ones I've ever seen."

"B…become one…?" Su Xi`er's face was flushed once more.

(Something like this should only happen after a long time, ah…)

"Little doll, your judgment really isn't bad." The human shadow laughed lightly.

If it was another male, she would surely disagree.

However, the life matrix of this brat was simply as resplendent as the constellations.

She was also somewhat curious about how much would a life matrix like this prosper the wife.

"But what if he really passes the unified examination?"

"He definitely won't. Doesn't he have you?"

"Oh, oh~"

"But Su Xi`er, you have to remember this. You cannot allow him to obtain you easily. For creatures like men, the easier it is for them to get something, the less they will cherish it."

Su Xi`er nodded dumbly. After that, she smiled cunningly. "Master, you must have a story to tell, right?"

"Nope, I only heard my mother speaking about this…" The human shadow seemed a little sorrowful when she recalled past events. She had never known who her father was.

At this moment, Su Xi`er had a contemplative look on her face. She didn't want to disturb her master after seeing her appearance, but she still involuntarily asked, "But Master, there's still a problem."

"What problem?"

"What if he really agrees to this unreasonable request?"
