That's right, don't doubt Xiang Wan's dedication. In her previous life, the original owner suffered a universe-wide cyberattack because Lou Yu'er twisted the truth, making those unaware of the facts her accomplices against the original owner. This time, she retaliated in kind, acting as the fuse for a space war; it's no wonder she's being condemned.
After finishing these tasks and inquiring about Xuan Yuanlie's battle progress, Xiang Wan learned that he had taken control of the situation and would soon be able to eliminate the Federation's internal traitors. Only then did Xiang Wan breathe a sigh of relief. Xuan Yuanlie would be arriving soon; it was time for her to leave.
To be honest, she had never understood why the original owner of this body retaliated against Xuan Yuanlie but didn't kill him. It wasn't until she witnessed Wu Ge's conversation with his subordinates that she suddenly understood: Xuan Yuanlie certainly deserved his title of general; he never abused his power or arbitrarily harmed the people. However, he was not a good husband. No matter how much the original owner hated him, she wouldn't gamble with the safety of the entire universe. The Federation needed him, so the original owner didn't harm him, only letting him experience the pain of losing a loved one—that was all.
After spending these days together, Xiang Wan had come to realize that Xuan Yuanlie had fallen deeply in love with her, though he himself hadn't fully understood yet. It was best to withdraw now; she had taken his love away while catching him off guard. Once he realized what was happening, all that would remain was a heart full of longing and regret—this was the original owner's punishment for his actions in his previous life.
Of course, before leaving, we had to give him a big gift.
Xiang Wan changed back into her daughter's clothes from Mercury, and with a little makeup, a charming beauty appeared in the video camera.
"Ah Lie, I have to go. Thank you for taking care of me these past few days; you made me think that there was something between us..."
Forget it, I won't say anymore. In my heart, you're still Ah Lie, the one who would fish with me on the beach and help others from time to time. It's just that we're destined to go our separate ways, and the longer I spend with you, the more painful it becomes for me.
I was serious about the question I asked you last time, but you chose to avoid it. I knew then that it was all just wishful thinking on my part. I just hope that when you're alone, you'll occasionally think of me, and remember that someone once loved you so deeply.
Goodbye, don't look for me. I'll find a place where spring is warm and flowers bloom, maybe I'll live alone, or maybe I'll settle for someone. Heh, who knows?
Allow me to call you one last time, Ah Lie. I hope that in the next life, you won't be a general, and I won't be an orphan...
The final image focuses on Xiang Wan, whose eyes are filled with deep affection yet also helplessness. She watched it again, and the expression and tone of her voice almost brought her to tears.
She quickly changed into another man's clothes, then, following the system's instructions, removed the bracelet and carelessly tossed it on the ground. She glanced at the ship again, then opened the hatch and jumped. Just before she jumped, she heard Lou Yu'er call out "Xiang Wan," nearly slipping and plunging headfirst into the water.
Lou Yu'er longed for her so much that she had to disgust her even while she was delirious. But none of that mattered anymore. She ran towards the battlefield, hoping to get her hands on an enemy ship so that she could be free to roam the seas and soar through the skies.
The system never judged this; it wouldn't interfere with how Xiang Wan completed her tasks. As long as the final result was correct, the process didn't matter. However, when it discovered that Xuan Yuanlie and Lou Yu'er's corruption levels had both reached 100, it trembled so much it couldn't speak. In previous worlds, the targets of revenge were always either killed off or subjected to torture; this was something it had never encountered before. It had a bad feeling that the road ahead wouldn't be smooth.
Xiang Wan, who was focused on escaping, was oblivious to all of this. Little did she know that her actions had already been observed by someone.
