Chapter 28: The protagonist of an ancient abusive novel (Part 1)

　　Translated by peonynoveltl

　　        After Gu Bai was taken to the courtyard that Lord Fu prepared for Du Haitang, no one bothered with him anymore.

　　Du Haiyan didn't came back until the next morning. Obviously, Lord Fu is very fond of his new concubine.

　　On the first day, he couldn't familiarize with the environment and Gu Bai also didn't dare to run around, so he settled into an empty room in the courtyard and improvised with the tea and snack on the table for the night.

　　Throughout the night, he was thinking about how to do this task.

　　Although the main partner of this mission is Fu Junli that demon* gong*, there are many other potential partners and dangers in this mission too, it's those cannon fodder cuc.u.mbers that are eyeing the original host's chrysanthemum.

　　*kichiku - a person who acts like a demon or a beast

　　*top/seme

　　Therefore, in order to complete the task, he must first have the ability to self-protect.

　　This is very important. The reason why the original host's chrysanthemum was crushed so tragically, other than his low status, the most important reason is that he didn't even have the slightest ability to resist, fully complying with the professional ethics of a weak shou* that will fall once pushed.

　　Therefore, if he doesn't want to suffer from the painful experience of the original host, he must have power. At worst, if one cuc.u.mber comes, he will chop one, and if two cuc.u.mbers come, he will chop two!

　　This isn't a problem, Gu Bai is very fortunate to have foresight and he also learned quite a lot in the previous fantasy world.

　　Other than power, he also needs to improve his status. This is an ancient dynasty that uses the "four cla.s.ses"* hierarchy. A person's status level determines the fate of that person.

　　*the four occupations/categories of people in ancient China (scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants)

　　The original host came from a brothel's prost.i.tute and is now the lowly son of a concubine. His status is lower than others from the moment he was born and he also doesn't have any backing. With such a seductive and enchanting face, it's very normal for people to eye him and push him down.

　　By turning over his mind*, he solved the power problem, but there's still that status problem. Since he can't become a rich second generation*, then he will try his best to become a first generation official. In ancient times, only the official career can lift a person's status.
