"Host, your first task is to marry Ji Mohan."

"What did you say? Say it again? Aren't you being a little arrogant? Isn't this too much of a leap?" Yan Wan was completely dumbfounded. This damn system, it hadn't spoken for half a month, and now it was finally speaking, it was full of pent-up emotions.

"Why shouldn't people be arrogant? People should be arrogant, young and impetuous. Host, don't you want the newbie gift pack? I specially applied for it with my dad, no other host has it but you do!" the system said smugly.

"Yes, yes, yes! I knew you were the best to me. You're the best in the world. I'll only be with you. No other system is good enough. You're the best..." Yan Wan showered the system with compliments. She had asked the system for a Nourishing Essence Pill. The original owner's body was delicate and weak. After falling into the water, her health was damaged. Ordinary pills were useless. She could only use the system's help. It had to be a high-quality pill. Sigh!

"Oh dear, host, I'm not as good as you say. Please stop talking, I'm getting shy, hehe," the system said with a shy expression.

"Alright, let's distribute the newbie gift packs. Let me see what's in them!" Yan Wan couldn't wait.

"Okay, host, now I'm sending you a newbie gift pack, please accept it."

Yan Wan opened the newbie gift pack, which contained 2 Nourishing Essence Pills, 1 Healing Poison Pill, 1 Hair-Shaving Dagger, and 1 Lingguang Brocade.

Yan Wan happily took out the Nourishing Essence Pill and ate it, then put the rest away. She then went on and on praising the system for a while, until the system was embarrassed and stopped.

"System, when will Ji Mohan return to the capital?" Yan Wan remembered that although Ji Mohan was a prince, he was stationed at the border for many years. He was the only prince who was enfeoffed as a king early on and stayed in his fiefdom at the border. After returning to the capital at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, he was kept in the capital by the old emperor, which led to his later relationship with the female lead. In the end, he loved her but could not have her and died on the battlefield.

"Host, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is in half a month. He should be back to attend the banquet. You'll be seeing him soon, aren't you excited?" the system said with a gossipy look.

"I'm so excited! I've read this novel so many times and cried so many times because of his experiences. How could I not be excited? It's like a fan seeing their idol after a long time. Just seeing him brings tears to their eyes."

Yes, in the book, Ji Mo Han will pay respects to his mother, Consort Xue, at the Ruyi Palace during the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Then he hears the female lead of Luowei Palace playing the pipa piece "Ambush from Ten Sides". After hearing it, Ji Mo Han feels that the female lead's music has a magnificent and powerful atmosphere, so he goes to the Hundred Flowers Banquet and asks the female lead what piece it is. This is their first meeting.

The female lead shines at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, winning first place and receiving a promise from the emperor, after which she breaks off her engagement with the Vice Minister of Revenue. Then, like in all wish-fulfillment novels, she fights her wicked stepmother, punishes villains, runs a thriving business, and engages in love-hate relationships with the male lead and other male supporting characters.

Yan Wan thought silently that she couldn't make enemies with the female lead and couldn't continue down the path of a vicious female supporting character. Actually, Yan Wan quite liked the female lead when she was reading the book. She dared to love and hate, was open and honest, and was also very talented, showing the true nature of a mercenary.

The first step to getting along well with the female lead is to break off your relationship with Jing Lian'er, the female lead's younger sister. Previously, Yan Wan and Jing Lian'er were just superficial friends. It was Jing Lian'er who gave the original owner the idea to peek at the Crown Prince. Jing Lian'er also liked the Crown Prince. Because her father's position was too low, he was not qualified to attend the lake banquet. So she encouraged the original owner to take her to attend. She tricked the original owner into peeking at the Crown Prince through the window. The original owner lost her footing on the edge of the boat and fell into the lake.

After a period of rest, Yan Wan accepted her previous memories. During her illness, both the Crown Prince and Jing Lian'er came to see her, but Yan Wan did not want to get too involved with the Crown Prince, so she did not see him. Jing Lian'er, that scheming woman, naturally did not see her either. Only Yan Jin came to see Yan Wan during this time. Everything else was turned away by her mother.

"Sigh, how can I get Ji Mohan to marry me? So annoying o?o Wait, maybe I can start by paying respects to Consort Xue." Others might not know the cause of Consort Xue's death, but as someone who had read the book several times, Yan Wan knew the cause of Consort Xue's death.

This is also why, in the book, after Ji Mo Han turned to the dark side and went on a killing spree, intending to kill his father and brothers to avenge his mother, the old emperor revealed the cause of Xue Fei's death in order to prevent Ji Mo Han from going on a killing spree. Later, Ji Mo Han learned the truth, let go of his hatred, returned to the frontier, and finally died on the battlefield...

"But, if I reveal the cause of Xuefei's death now, will Ji Mohan become suspicious of me? Besides, I definitely can't use Xuefei to get Ji Mohan to marry me. Sigh, what should I do?" Yan Wan thought to herself, so engrossed that she didn't even notice her mother and brother had arrived.

"Wan'er, what are you muttering about? You've just recovered, so don't stand by the window in the wind. Come here, Mom made your favorite red bean soup."

"You're here, Mother, Brother. Please sit down. Thank you so much for making me red bean soup, Mother. You've worked so hard! By the way, Brother, why did you finish your shift so early today?" The girl smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling like stars. She was beautiful, fair-skinned, and incredibly cute.

Seeing his well-behaved and adorable younger sister, Yan Jin smiled and said, "Brother switched shifts with Lord Wang today, so I came back early to see you. Oh, by the way, I bought you your favorite chestnut cake from Furongji in the east of the city."

"Wow, brother is so great! Wanwan loves brother the most!" Yan Wan said happily. In fact, Yan Wan was very grateful to the system for bringing her here and making her feel the warmth of family. In modern times, Yan Wan was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage with her best friend Xiao Xiao. They supported each other and healed each other's wounds. She didn't know what Xiao Xiao would do after she came here.

"Wan'er, rest well after you finish eating. The Hundred Flowers Banquet in the palace is in half a month. After you recover, I will take you and your sister-in-law to the Hundred Flowers Banquet to see the young talents. I don't know which rascal has gotten such a good daughter of mine."

"Mother, what are you saying?" Yan Wan said shyly.

"Haven't my sister-in-law and Yi'er returned yet?"

“Yes, Rongniang’s mother is unwell, so Rongniang took Yi’er back to Jiangnan to take care of her. But judging by the days, she will be back soon. The day before yesterday, your sister-in-law asked in her letter if you were feeling better.” Yan Jin rubbed Yan Wan’s head.

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I'll go visit you as soon as you get back," Yan Wan said with a shy smile.

"She's still a child at heart. She's almost of marriageable age, and she's still as playful as Yi'er," Mother Yan said with a smile.

"Mom! Don't scold me! Talk to my brother instead. Please let me off the hook!" Yan Wan and Yan Jin were laughing and joking, and their mother looked at them lovingly.
