Even at the end of her short and unfortunate life, still Gu MingYue could not understand what exactly had happened.

As the daughter of Zhou Guo's Elder Princess and the royal niece of the current emperor, Gu MingYue was known to be the most beautiful and poised woman in the country. She was known for her elegance and beauty, together with the natural flowery scent that lingered over wherever she went.

Of course, she had a fairly high status in the country, as she had been given the name Princess YuHua by her uncle at the age of ten.

Not to mention that she had always been an exceptionally bright child. One could test her in every field, no matter if it's of musical instruments, or poems and literature, there was nothing she had not mastered.

But still, even though she had been born with talent, she had not once rejected the opportunity to study how to be a proper lady, and in addition to her gentle nature, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was the model lady of the country.

But this was the exact reason why she could not understand what went wrong, why was her ending so miserable, and her poor mother, who had her royal status taken from her and forced to live out her retirement as a slave.

Gu MingYue's soul lingered in midair as she watched the little white lotus married her ex-husband, and one by one, seducing all the powerful men of the country, there was the prime minister, the leader of the WuLin society, the powerful saint of the cult, the godly doctor, even Gu MingYue's very own elder brother, Gu MingYu!

She watched as all of the men, though knowing that she's a married woman, fall in love with her and spoiled her to no ends. They would do anything for her, just for a smile, or a passionate (shameless) fuck…

Gu MingYue watched unblinkingly, as if she was a mere bystander, though she was still utterly confused, her heart eventually calmed down. It no longer bothered her that her cold and expressionless ex-husband would smile so warmly at the presence of the white lotus; or the fact that her brother, knowing that the little white lotus was their half-sister, but still he continued to engage in shameless activities with her.

It did not bother Gu MingYue at all, the way all these men accepted each other, just so the little white lotus would be happy. They pampered her to the heavens, and gave her everything they had…

But still, it just did not make sense.

Until one day, the peace was finally shattered. The little white lotus had stopped her brother from taking care of their sick mother, not only did she not allow him to take care of Mother. And when he had finally given in to her request to go shopping with her, she had thrown a huge tantrum, crying at this heartlessness when he told her that he wished to wait for a caretaker servant to arrive before they leave for the marketplace.

To think that his brother would be so heartless! Their mother had always made sure to provide them with the best of everything, even personally taking care of them whenever one of them fell sick.

To think that he would abandon their mother for this woman!? Just because she cried!?

Even when her wonderful sister-in-law, who was gravely worried for their mother, carried their child with her as she knelt before Gu MingYue's main door, begging him to send a doctor to see their mother, he had only thrown her out of the house with a divorce letter.

And his lack of action had cost their mother's life, as she passed away in pain.

To think that her brother was someone with little to no morals and common sense. Such an unfilial man, with no loyalty to anyone at all!

His actions had shocked Gu MingYue to her core, as she trembled in fury at the scene.

Her mother's death was the last straw, as she finally reached out her hand towards the bubble-like mirror, intending to claw the little white lotus to death.

But just before she could kill her mother's murderer, her bloodthirsty claws were bounced off by a golden shield surrounding the bubble! Not only that, her very soul was being burned to ashes by the golden light!

She stared at the woman who ruined her family with bloodshot eyes as her soul shattered into pieces, while her heart burned with an undying need for vengeance.

She could not leave like this! Not when the little white lotus lives her happily ever after with her countless men! Not when she took everything that was rightfully hers! Not when she had to watch helplessly as her mother died right in front of her!

It's unfair! Everything is wrong!!! Her soul shrieked through the air in retaliation, momentarily solidifying her soul in her desperate attempt.

A static voice sounded through her ears suddenly.

I do! Gu MingYue answered instantly without hesitation.

The hollow voice continued, right after that, a half-transparent board appeared in front of Gu MingYue.

Gu MingYue stared unblinking at the shining words floating in midair, this was something entirely new to her and she did not know how to react to it, but her attention was quickly caught by the information shown.

But Gu MingYue was in a daze from the influx of information, “You mean, this world doesn't exist…? I am but a fictional character? But the pain felt so real…”

The voice explained calmly.

“I see…” She hung her head as she cleaned up her thoughts.

Two buttons appeared under her status board, specifically [Yes] and [No], and after confirming her status board once again, she touched the [Yes] button softly with her index finger.

The status board instantly minimized into a small tab, while new interactable tabs appeared.

Even now, Gu MingYue was still somewhat confused, this system technology is way beyond her knowledge, causing her to subconsciously treat it with respect.

She tapped lightly on the button named [Gift Box], and a letter appeared.

Gu MingYue could already feel her blood burning within her as she read on, this was like a dream come true, to think that she would be given a chance to change her own fate! But as she shakingly tapped on the button called [Mission Completing Tips], she almost fainted from what she saw!

Right in front of her, floats another bubble.

As the model lady of the country, who had grown up in a world where females are to be poised and pure, Gu MingYue could not believe what she had read.

No longer able to process her surroundings, her eyes blackened and she fell backward as she finally fainted from shock.

But, right before she lost her consciousness, she could vaguely hear the static voice of the system.
