"Our ruler, Hua Xiangwan, is arrogant, extravagant, and dissolute, loving beauty more than his kingdom. Recently, I heard that he has summoned the peerless young master of Qingping Tower to the palace. Such a beauty, what a pity. It is said that no one who has left Hua Xiangwan's bed is ever whole."
"More than that! What a waste! The Peerless Young Master is the most beautiful man in our Flower Kingdom, and a virgin at that. It is said that someone once spent a fortune just to win a smile from him..."
"To be honest, Young Master Wushuang was really unlucky. He went to offer incense and bumped into that woman. He only caught a glimpse of her, and it was through a gauze curtain. Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Sigh, have you heard? The Second Princess intended to marry the Peerless Young Master and make him her principal husband! Now look what happened, her plans were thwarted halfway through. Do you think the Second Princess can swallow this insult?"
"Hmm, it's hard to say. Historically, there have never been any good endings for royal ladies who acted out of anger for the sake of a man."
"What if the ruler were different? What would you think...?"
Shh! Keep your voice down, the walls have ears.
Xiang Wan picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and then slammed it down on the table with a loud "bang." "Shopkeeper, the bill!"
"Oh, here it comes!"
This is the third day since Xiang Wan transmigrated to this world. Walking down the street, she can hear this kind of talk everywhere.
"Sweetie, you've heard it all, you've seen it all, come on, let me take you to see something interesting!"
Xiang Wan got up, pulled Lin Wushuang, who had a sour face, over, smiled, put her arm around his waist, and continued to lead him forward.
Lin Wushuang, in her early twenties, had long since lost the naivety and immaturity on her face, but was still some distance from true maturity, just like a flower bud about to bloom, which suited Xiang Wan's taste perfectly.
Women in this world all love handsome young men, but Lin Wushuang is at the age of decline. Although he has many suitors thanks to his previous popularity, it is unknown how many of them truly love him.
There are plenty of bad women in this world. They work hard outside and need someone famous to decorate their home.
As for Lin Wushuang's appearance, while he was handsome, he lacked the gentle and graceful qualities of men of his time, possessing a more masculine and rugged charm. This unconventional nature, coupled with his unique talent and insights, made him quite popular among noble ladies.
When Xiang Wan first transmigrated, she happened to see him going out to offer incense. That cold, aloof glance he gave her through the gauze curtain instantly stirred a tingling feeling in her heart. She was the ruler of the kingdom; did she need to ask for anything aloud?
The female security guard beside her was efficient and won her favor, so she sent the person over that very evening.
However, Lin Wushuang has such a bad temper...
With a beautiful woman in her arms, Xiang Wan was in a very good mood. This woman was still sulking with her, so she had to reach into her purse to try and make her smile.
The system was stunned for a long time in Xiang Wan's mind. It was the first time it had discovered that its host had such a hobby. No wonder it had to choose the world to travel to in the previous world. Had its host dragged it down with it?
Looking at the icy beauty beside Xiang Wan, the system was filled with deep apprehension, yet also a strange sense of excitement. Should I record this or not?! So conflicted!
“Honey, this rouge suits you perfectly. It complements your fair complexion, giving you a rosy glow that makes you stand out from the crowd.”
Yundu, the capital of the Flower Kingdom, is one of the top cities in the entire Yunshang Continent. Naturally, the things it sells are also the best, and it's only fair that they are more expensive.
Xiang Wan led Lin Wushuang out of the teahouse and headed straight for the Treasure Pavilion, taking whatever was expensive and picking whatever was rare.
What Xiang Wan was holding was rouge made from priceless pink pearls. There was only one box of it in the entire Treasure Pavilion, and it was said to be the most prized possession of the pavilion.
Seeing Xiang Wan's smiling face, seemingly unaffected by what she had overheard in the teahouse, Lin Wushuang's expression darkened further. "Don't call me 'baby,' and besides, I don't need this thing."
"This hairpin is quite unique, shall I put it on you?"
"Not rare."
"The sapphire ring suits your style perfectly."
"Don't waste your energy!"
"Lin Wushuang, my patience has its limits!" Xiang Wan put down her things, her face turned cold, and a chill emanated from her body, revealing the majesty of a queen.
Lin Wushuang turned her head away, unmoved by Xiang Wan's offer.
"Summon your sect leader!"
Xiang Wan slammed her hand on the table, startling the shop assistant, who quickly went upstairs to find the master, fearing that Xiang Wan might smash up the shop in a fit of anger.
In this capital city, even throwing a stone could hit royalty, let alone those who dare to enter the Treasure Pavilion, who are all rich and powerful. She is just a small shop assistant and can't afford to offend them!
A moment later, a pretty woman came down, her face full of smiles. She bowed to Xiang Wan and said politely, "If this distinguished guest has any complaints about my Treasure Pavilion, please feel free to mention them. Our pavilion will try its best to meet your requirements."
Xiang Wan glanced at the woman and said with a look of disdain, "Everyone says that the Treasure Pavilion collects the world's finest treasures, and everyone who comes in leaves satisfied. Why is it an exception here?"
The woman's smile widened further as she asked, "May I ask what your request is, esteemed guest?"
Xiang Wan turned her head and pointed at Lin Wushuang, saying, "My wife doesn't even look at any of the treasures. Your reputation is unreliable and should be smashed."
"Who's your wife? Humph!"
As soon as Lin Wushuang spoke, the woman knew what was going on. She reached out and invited Xiang Wan and Lin Wushuang upstairs, saying, "Your husband has a unique eye and naturally wouldn't be interested in these things. The Treasure Pavilion just received a new batch of treasures. Today we are fortunate to have such distinguished guests. Why don't you take a look? Who knows, it might just be exactly what your husband is looking for."
"You can't hit someone who's smiling," Xiang Wan glanced at Lin Wushuang, her face full of helplessness. Seeing this, the woman found a male employee and, after much persuasion, managed to get him into a private room upstairs.
