In the blank world, there is nothing but white.
Feng Guang looked at the score on the panel and saw that it had increased to sixty-six, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Host's mission performance is good. The shop has been upgraded and new items have been added: the Resurrection Pill. Would you like to purchase it?" The system's voice remained unchanged, still devoid of any emotion, and still impossible to discern whether it was male or female.
A remedy to bring the dead back to life—this is a miracle cure for escaping a bad ending!
The scenery was enticing. "How many points does the resurrection drug cost?"
"Thirty points, 30% off on the first day of release."
"No way!" She refused without even thinking. A 30% discount? Even 21 points was ridiculously expensive! She'd rather do missions in other worlds. She looked up and said, "Draw a script."
Books made of data floated around Feng Guang, their names unseen. She picked one up at random, and the name appeared on the book in her hand. The surrounding books then vanished; as always, seeing the names sent a chill down her spine.
The title "The Ghost King's Beloved: The Mad Concubine's Daughter" sounds very sophisticated. Once you open the book, the storyline is immediately implanted into Feng Guang's mind.
The female protagonist is Xia Qimeng, the illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister of the Great Wei Kingdom. Her birth mother died early, and she was bullied by her stepmother and elder sister. In the Prime Minister's mansion, only this weak and unfavored illegitimate daughter could be ordered around by everyone. However, one day, after Xia Qimeng fell into the water and woke up, she seemed to have become a different person. Not only was she exceptionally talented in literature, but she was also highly skilled in martial arts. She took revenge on all those who had bullied her. Moreover, while she was pretending to go to the temple to worship her birth mother, she disguised herself as a man and went to the military camp. She successfully met up with the male protagonist, the famous Ghost King Xiao Ruo. Ghost King Xiao Ruo was the general guarding the border, and Xia Qimeng became his strategist. With this man and woman, something was bound to happen. The enemy army was the Guangliu Kingdom, and the second male lead was naturally the king of Guangliu Kingdom.
Thus, during her time on the battlefield, Xia Qimeng successfully won the hearts of both the male lead and the second male lead.
Feng Guang let out a deep sigh, "Mission begins."
When she opened her eyes again, her surroundings had changed. She was in an antique-style room, dressed in fine silks and satins, with a beautiful face reflected in the bronze mirror, and maids busy doing her hair and makeup.
The maid Xiao Lü put the jade hairpin on Feng Guang's head and said happily, "Miss, today His Highness the Ghost King is returning to the capital in triumph. You must appear at the palace banquet looking absolutely stunning and leave His Highness speechless."
"Of course, our young lady is the most beautiful woman in the world. If she weren't His Highness the Ghost King's fiancée, the suitors would probably be lining up from the east side of the city to the west side." Xiao Lü's twin sister, Xiao Zi, also said with a smile. She looked just like Xiao Lü, except that Xiao Lü had a mole on the corner of her lip, while she didn't.
Feng Guang remained silent, because she always felt that the constant use of "Ghost King" sounded awkward. Ghost King, Ghost King, what kind of title is that? It's just as awkward as having unlucky words like "injury," "darkness," or "separation" in someone's name.
Before long, Fengguang's hair was finally combed. It must be said that although the ancient people's dressing up was troublesome, the effect was still amazing. Wearing a light pink gauze dress with a white veil draped over her shoulders, she gave people a feeling of being ethereal whenever the wind blew. A few strands of her long black hair were simply tied up with a white jade hairpin, and the rest of her hair hung down by her neck, making her look slightly soft and beautiful. With her beautiful face, Xia Fengguang truly deserved the title of the number one beauty.
But as is often the case, according to the usual tropes of romance novels, the one who is called the most beautiful woman is always just cannon fodder.
