Episode 1: Blessed by the Gods? Make a wish?

How dark. I thought I had died. But it seems I'm still alive. Oh well, it doesn't matter.

She opened her eyes. What befell her vision was not the familiar ceiling of her bedroom, but soars of clouds which covered the world.

She slowly got up and looked around, only to find herself sitting on a white jade-like floor which reflected her face.

She looked closely. Raven black hair and eyes, quite a contrast to her calm personality. She was blessed with a beautiful appearance, too bad she despised her looks.

Her mother had adopted her in the place of her deceased daughter. She changed her name, even her appearance, to match her real daughter's.

She was robbed off of her identity, even her face, but she accepted it all because she was grateful to her mother.

However, now looking at this face, she felt nothing but disgust, towards her mother and towards herself. What was even the point of the life she had lived.

Initially, she was abandoned by her birth parents, then she was raised by another as a substitute. She even gave up on the only thing she had truly desired in life, her love.

During her life's journey, the only incident which proved that she was 'Ning Ru Fei' and not anybody else, was when she fell in love.

She loved him wholeheartedly, and he also loved her back. It was perfect. Until, her mother found out about it and threatened her with his life.

Ning Ru Fei had no choice but to distance herself to keep him safe, and she never saw him again. She wondered what he might think of her now. Surely, he hates her.

She sighed. Finally, getting on her feet and glanced around. The scape was covered in clouds, as far as the eyes could see.

Am I really alive? This place is no way, Earth. So I guess I'm dead... Then, is this place...

"Welcome to the heavens."

A voice rang from behind her. The voice was gentle, calm and composed. The owner of the voice was surely courteous.

Ning Ru Fei was startled by the voice, but the calmness in it soothed her. She didn't feel any harmful intentions from the owner of the voice, so she calmly turned around.

What befell Ning Ru Fei's vision was a beautiful man with vibrant red hair, who looked to be in his twenties. He had a carefree smile on his face. She envied that but lost herself at the sight for a moment.

"Are you alright, dear?"

He asked.

Ning Ru Fei was confused. How long has it been since someone asked her if she was alright? She didn't know how to reply. So, she opened her mouth, but closed it again.

The man chuckled lightly, "It seems you're startled. Of course, you are, with such a scenery before you." He turned around and guided her to follow him.

The man walked ahead, Ning Ru Fei quietly followed behind him. After a while, he spoke again, "Dear, You have been blessed by the Gods. Or perhaps, they simply felt bad for you."

He stopped for a moment. Then suddenly turned around, his face serious and spoke again, "The Gods will grant you a second chance at life, as well as a wish, anything you desire. So, what do you wish for?"
