Chapter 2.1 : Was the Original Host a Ninja Turtle—or the Reincarnation of a Dragon King Son-in-Law? (Part 1)
Tang Qingmo was born in a high-martial world. By the age of thirty, he had already become the young head of a top-tier family—an existence feared and respected by all.
After graduating from university, he married early and had three children. If not for one incident, his life could have been considered complete.
When the beast invasion began, and he was discussing battle strategies with the military, a streak of flickering light suddenly appeared in the sky.
Then—he turned into light.
When he woke up, he discovered that he had transmigrated into a body so thin it was nothing but skin and bones!
Sensing Tang Qingmo's anger, the system cautiously spoke in a small voice:
[Host, since you're already here… how about binding with me first? I'll explain everything afterward…]
...
[Fine.]
Tang Qingmo had previously been exposed to plenty of transmigration novels by his subordinates.
Since a system had appeared, it meant that he would need to complete the tasks it assigned in order to return.
Seeing how unexpectedly straightforward he was, the system immediately said excitedly:
[Binding with host confirmed. Beginning transmission of the original host's memories.]
In the next second, overwhelming waves of memories surged into Tang Qingmo's mind…
He had transmigrated into a parallel world of the "regret flow."
The original owner, "Tang Qingmo," was a heaven-blessed son of destiny protected by the Dao of Heaven. Although he was kidnapped and abandoned by a vicious nanny at birth, he was rescued by kind-hearted people and grew up in an orphanage.
At the age of six, due to his outstanding talent, he was adopted by the dean of the Modu Martial Arts Academy and taken in as a disciple by his mentor, Fairy Chiyang. He became the junior disciple of Chiyang Hall and was doted on by her and his seven senior sisters.
At eighteen, because his appearance closely resembled Madam Tang's, he was noticed by the third sister—who was a martial arts instructor. Through this, he reunited with the Tang family, became the young master of a prestigious household, and gained the love and affection of his parents and seven sisters!
However, such a perfectly configured protagonist of a power fantasy had his fate overturned when the Dao of Heaven was suddenly invaded by two "world consciousnesses." From that moment on, his life changed drastically!
The vicious nanny had an additional son and secretly swapped him with the infant original host. As a result, the nanny's son became the Tang family's young master, and the Tang family, unaware of the truth, never searched for their real child.
As for the original host, he did indeed enter Chiyang Hall at the age of six—but one month later, in spring, Fairy Chiyang suddenly brought back another junior disciple.
Through that junior disciple's manipulative green-tea tactics, no matter how sincerely the original host tried to please his master and senior sisters, they never accepted him.
Instead, they unreasonably suppressed and bullied him for the sake of the junior disciple, causing him to be unable to cultivate. He became the academy's notorious bottom-ranked student, constantly mocked and ridiculed!
At eighteen, the junior disciple even framed the original host for stealing a high-grade pill. Without investigating the truth, his master and senior sisters beat him until he was half-dead and tried to expel him from the academy!
Thanks to the help of the dean and the Holy Maiden, Fairy Chiyang was ordered to investigate the matter.
But just then, mutant beasts attacked, forcing the dean and Holy Maiden to leave to deal with the crisis. Meanwhile, the original host became a thorn in Chiyang Hall's side.
In the end, Fairy Chiyang ordered that he was not allowed to remain in the academy during the investigation—and he was driven out.
Thus, the original host ended up wandering the streets, living a miserable life scavenging trash and competing with dogs for food.
A week later, the Tang family's third sister came to the academy for a martial artist exchange and discovered the original host rummaging through trash bins outside. Because his appearance resembled Madam Tang's, suspicion arose.
After conducting a paternity test, they finally learned the truth: the original host was the Tang family's real young master, and he was brought back home!
But by then, the Tang family already had a fake young master who had enjoyed boundless love and favor. Through the fake young master's manipulative schemes, the original host once again became disliked, loathed, and bullied by his biological parents and seven sisters…
A son of destiny who should have had everything saw all that belonged to him stolen by the green-tea junior disciple and the fake young master, becoming a universally despised figure whom anyone could humiliate and trample on!
Yet, because the original host longed desperately for familial affection, he endured every injustice and accusation, even when bullied and wronged.
He endured until, after being falsely accused countless times, his heart finally turned cold. He severed all ties, left for a place where no one knew him, fell into depression—and passed away…
Only after the original host left did those who had bullied him finally realize that everything had been orchestrated by the green-tea junior disciple / fake younger brother!
