Liu Qianyu suddenly opened her eyes, surrounded by deep darkness. She slowly sat up, finding herself on a quaint wooden bed with rough linen sheets beneath her. The air was thick with the rustic scent of earth and wood, making the sudden change of environment tighten her heart.
As memories flooded back, she felt the weight of the sadness and hatred from her previous life, filling her with grief and determination.
"System Xiaoling, are you there?" she called silently in her heart.
"I am here, ready to help the host at any time," came the reassuring voice of the system spirit.
Liu Qianyu pondered for a moment. To bring down the wealthy businessman Xiao Wanjin and the imperial concubine, she needed to start with Emperor Xuanyuan Ce. Gaining his trust and favor was undoubtedly the key, but entering the palace as a peasant girl would be no easy task.
Just as she was lost in thought, an idea struck her like lightning. Tomorrow marked a pivotal moment in her previous life—the day she had gone up the mountain searching for her brother, only to encounter bandits and be rescued by Xuanyuan Ce, the emperor of the Daxuan Kingdom.
"Xiao Ling, I remember that in my previous life, the emperor didn't take me directly into the palace after saving me. Why was that?"
"Host, the emperor's harem is filled with beauties. While you are outstanding in appearance, it may not be enough to attract him," the system explained.
"Is it because he’s become indifferent to women after being childless for so long?" Liu Qianyu asked half-jokingly.
"That's not the case, host. You will understand how powerful the Son of Luck is in the future," System Xiaoling replied, a hint of mystery in its tone.
"Then we'll have to find another way. Xiao Ling, can the props you mentioned earlier be used now?"
As she asked, a transparent light screen unfolded in her mind, displaying a variety of goods. Each item shimmered with potential, offering her tools to aid in her quest. Liu Qianyu felt a rush of excitement—this was her chance to prepare for the challenges ahead.

In this dazzling virtual mall, Liu Qianyu seemed to have stepped into a new world full of infinite possibilities.
This life experience was so wonderful that she couldn't wait to start browsing and looking for the elixirs she needed.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Qianyu decided to start from the basics and change her appearance and temperament first.
Especially for someone like Xuanyuan Ce, who is used to seeing beauties, everyone has a love for beauty; it just depends on whether a woman is beautiful enough.
So, she chose the Body-Shaping Pill, the Skin-Beautifying Pill, the Famous Instrument Pill, the Sweet Talk Pill, the Body Fragrance Pill, and the Pot of Spring Water Pill.
The pills melted in her mouth, and she felt a warm air current rising from her dantian and slowly flowing to her limbs and bones.
Her body began to change, and a faint blush appeared on her face, just like a newly blooming peach blossom—so beautiful and tempting.
Her skin became delicate and fair, like the finest mutton-fat jade, smooth and translucent.
Her facial features were reshaped; her eyebrows were like crescent moons, and her eyes sparkled like stars.
Her lip color was as bright as cherry, showing charm and style.
She looked like a fairy walking out of a painting, yet she was irresistible.
Looking down, her figure became more slender and well-proportioned, with curves in all the right places and a charming silhouette.
In the real world, she hadn’t paid much attention to nutritional balance, which led to her friends jokingly calling her "brother." Her breasts were a sore spot for her, and if she had the chance, she would make herself a woman that could not be grasped by one hand.
As she browsed the mall, she considered buying some Wave Pills to eat and double the blessing. This time, it was really out of control; it was so fierce at the beginning.
Not only did men like this figure, but even she, as a woman, loved to look at it, causing her face to flush and her heart to race.
"Host, don't worry. Everyone who knows you will subtly influence your appearance, and no one will notice anything unusual," the system said proudly.
The next morning, Liu Qianyu woke up leisurely.
Her father had already walked through the morning dew to work hard in the fields, but her eldest brother still hadn't returned all night. After eating the breakfast her father left for her, she picked up the bamboo basket and set off on the path leading to the forest.
According to her memory, in her previous life, she encountered bandits on this road and was rescued by Xuanyuan Ce.
Liu Qianyu looked around and saw lush trees on both sides of the mountain path. Occasionally, the sound of birds chirped, breaking the silence around her.
The tranquility was soon shattered by the chaotic sound of footsteps and men's voices, indicating that the opportunity was approaching.
Liu Qianyu pretended to be panicked and quickly retreated to the side of the road, waiting for the bandits to appear.
Soon, a group of bandits came into view. They had ferocious faces, holding sharp blades, with murderous glints in their eyes. They stared at Liu Qianyu, the lone "prey," like hungry wolves.
Especially the bandit leader, who wore a lewd smile on his face, drooling over Liu Qianyu's beauty, his words dripping with unbearable provocations.
"Hey, where did this fairy come from? She's so beautiful. Are you lonely here, all alone in this desolate mountain? Come on and have some fun with your brothers!"
Liu Qianyu looked extremely frightened and helpless. "Don't come here!"
The bandit leader laughed out loud, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Who will come to save you in this desolate mountain? Just follow your brothers!"
When the bandit leader reached out to grab her, Liu Qianyu pretended to run away in panic. "Help, help, there are bandits! Help!"
Her cries echoed through the mountains and forests, adding a note of sorrow and despair.
The bandit leader laughed heartily; how could he let go of this delicious meal?
At this critical moment, a rapid and powerful sound of horse hooves roared from afar.
Liu Qianyu felt a surge of joy—Emperor Xuanyuan Ce of the Great Xuan Kingdom had arrived, just as he had in her previous life.
Xuanyuan Ce rode a tall horse and wore ordinary brocade clothes, but his heroic spirit could not be concealed. He held a long sword in his hand, looking every bit the god of war.
Seeing the miserable scene of the woman being besieged by bandits, his eyes filled with anger.
Following his order, the guards rushed towards the bandits like tigers descending from the mountains, and a fierce fight broke out instantly.
Xuanyuan Ce rode his horse straight towards Liu Qianyu. With swift and powerful movements, he pulled her onto the horse's back.
"Don't be afraid."
Xuanyuan Ce's voice was deep and powerful.
Liu Qianyu let him pull her out of the encirclement. Taking the opportunity, she secretly looked at this "lifesaver."
He had an extraordinarily handsome face, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes, with a kingly aura radiating from him. Xuanyuan Ce didn’t look like he was 32 years old; instead, he appeared to be a handsome man in his twenties. This was quite a pleasant surprise.
She quickly redeemed the "Spring Night Pill" in the system mall and stealthily took it when no one was paying attention. This pill would be the key for her to get close to Xuanyuan Ce and eventually enter the palace.
