Blare's appearance in the public market was spread in the Capital of Yang Empire.

Men praised her beautiful demeanor and alluring temperament.

While the young ladies and madams of the rich families became silent. Fellow women who admired Fang Chunhua sneered at their silence. The envious young ladies and madams have clearly eaten their own words.

Soon, rumors about Fang Chunhua being ugly was debunked. Instead, she was described by the people as a beautiful, kind-hearted miss who fancies things that were made by artisans.

They further described her as a young woman who knows the value of hand made crafts. A woman who has an eye for valuable things!

Many young men, whether they are noble or from low families have wanted to ask the woman for marriage. Of course, young men from low families didn't take the chance because they can never compete with the nobilities. But General Fang refused all of this because Fang Chunhua just got her engagement broken.

Blare was unaware of the rumors that are circulating outside. The servants of the Fang Estate never uttered a word about the good rumors to the young miss. Instead, they were delighted and proud inside. 'Finally, the young miss has proven them wrong!' the head maid thought as she nodded her head approvingly.

While her servants were feeling delighted inside. Blare was admiring the pink, red and lavender silks that she purchased in the market. The pink silk have an embroidered plum blossoms, the red silk has embroidered flowers that were sewn in gold. While the lavender dress has embroidered flowers as well and was also sewn in gold.

The hairpins also have the same color as the silks. The Phoenix hairpin made in silver, a plum blossom hairpin made in strong wood and a small violet flowers that were handcrafted and were made in gold.

The Fang family's seamstress gladly sewed the silks into cheongsam dresses.

Blare was beaming at the cheongsam dresses. This can count as an experience for the body, specifically Fang Chunhua. The original owner of the body wanted to experience all kinds of things. Just like a teenager, Fang Chunhua wanted to shop her own clothes and accessories. She wanted to explore the Capital of Yang City. She wants to communicate with the town folks, and so on.

Blare wore the red cheongsam dress that has flowers embroidered in gold, paired with the red Phoenix hairpin that was made in silver.

She smiled in satisfaction. Then Blare put the half top of her hair in a bun and slid the red hairpin in it.

Her waist-length hair that was not tied in the bun flowed freely. Added with her baby bangs, her beauty literally leveled up.

3 months have passed and Blare continued going outside and exploring the Yang Empire. She made two female friends while exploring in the Capital, both came from a rich merchant family. The two was older for a year, Fang Chunhua is already 18 years old while the two were 19 years old. Both females have a free spirit and desire to explore.

"Hua'er, my father already permitted me from going on tour in the Wanshu Empire. You have to come!" Li Ruohan said as she fisted her two hands and shake them up and down in excitement.

Blare giggled at her friend's excited reaction.

"Han |×|jiejie, you can trust me on that. I'll definitely convince father that I'll go!" Blare said as she clasped her hand together.

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

Guang Fan Ai elegantly drink a cup of jasmine tea and look expectantly at the two.

"Ai jiejie, when are we departing? What are the fun activities?" Blare's eyes lit up towards Guang Fan Ai.

Guang Fan Ai sighed hopelessly at the two women who are acting like children.

"Hua'er, your father hasn't said yes yet. And please you two women... act according to your age" Guang Fan Ai massage her temples.

Blare and Li Ruohan was used to Guang Fan Ai's nagging about etiquette and stuff that they already know.

"Ai |×|ji, we're the only ones here" Li Ruohan pouted,

"|צAiyah! Ai jiejie, you need to loosen up too." Blare pouted as well and crossed her arms.

Guang Fan Ai sighed in defeat.

When the sun started to hide, Li Ruohan and Guang Fan Ai bid goodbye to Blare.

Noticing that the sky is darkening, Blare decided that asking permission to her father is best to be asked tomorrow.

When the sky was already dark, Blare took a bath in lavender flowers and slept after.

Blare woke up when the sun was starting to rise. The servants have long changed their habits of waking up because of their young miss.

Early in the morning, Blare would always walk around the Fang Estate and interact with the servants. At first, the servants were nervous around her and are afraid to make mistakes. But whenever they made a mistake out of nervousness, Blare would not shout or scold them, their young miss will even gladly help them.

Her change 3 months ago was shocking but slowly, everyone in the Fang Estate is getting used to their young miss's behavior. As for General Fang, he didn't expect his daughter to be more outgoing when her and the Crown Prince, Wang Jianyi, got their engagement annulled.

He concluded that the engagement might have suffocated her daughter in the first place.

Blare's shocking change on the body did not go unnoticed by the original Fang Chunhua's elder twin sibling. Her elder sister, Fang Chuntao, visited 2 months ago after hearing her disengagement. Same with her elder brother, Fang Chuanli, who also came 3 days after Fang Chuntao's arrival.

Both of them are already married and both hurriedly made their way to visit their little sister. In the end, they have calmed down after hearing that Fang Chunhua was delighted to her disengagement.

Fang Chuntao and Fang Chuanli departed from the Fang Estate with their anger and worry subsided.

Back in the present time, servants would always greet and let Blare watch them work.

"Young miss. General Fang calls for you." a servant appeared behind her.

"Whose in the main hall besides my father?" Blare faced the bowing figure of the servant that flinched in her question.

"His Highness and Zhao Kang are also present in the main hall." the servant answered,

"Zhao Kang? (sigh) is father bullying him again?" Blare mumbled and signaled the servant to lead her to the main hall.

Zhao Kang is the son of the old man in the public market. The old man who sold the Phoenix hairpin made in silver.

Now, why would Zhao Kang enter the Fang Estate?

To work. Blare generously offered work to the 21-year-old Zhao Kang because his mother got ill. The old man can only thank Blare repeatedly.

The moment Zhao Kang entered the Fang Estate. Her father, General Fang would always make him do difficult things. It was nothing to Zhao Kang, but letting the man work non-stop from morning to night... every day is wrong.

Blare suggested that his pay will be raised because he was always working. But General Fang turned deaf to her suggestions.

So Blare fought with General Fang and gave him the silent treatment for a week. Until his father gave up, confessing that he was against Zhao Kang as her future husband.

Blare facepalmed at this. Then she explained that the man only need work for the treatment of his mother. Only then General Fang calmed down and Zhao Kang's life became easier.

Presently, Blare was thinking 'Why did Zhao Kang be present in the main hall as well? To... watch?' Blare shrugged at the thought.

As Blare entered the main hall, she saw his father sitting at the center with Zhao Kang sitting at his side. While Wang Jianyi sat on the opposite side of the table.

Blare shivered from the awkwardness. 'Wang Jianyi was so out of the place.'

"Young miss has arrived!" the servant announced and the three men looked in her direction.

"Chunhua greets father and his highness!" Blare said as she cupped her hands and bowed.

"Hua'er! Come and sit!" Her father delight voice called her.

Blare obediently sat beside General Fang.

The room was silent. No one was willing to talk.

Blare look at his father and look at him with furrowed eyebrows that are saying 'What is happening?!'

The General smiled, then turned his eyes towards Wang Jianyi.

"Your Highness, Hua'er is already here just as you requested." General Fang smiled, but Blare sensed a hidden contempt behind it.

Wang Jianyi raised a brow at General Feng and Zhao Kang. Indicating them to leave. 

Sensing his gaze and intention, General Fang said, "My daughter just annulled her engagement to Your Highness. It is improper if she accompany you alone."

"I understand General Fang, but what is this peasant doing here?" Wang Jianyi looked at Zhao Kang in disdain.

Zhao Kang's eyebrows twitch, but it wasn't seen since he was bowing his head.

"Zhao Kang is my daughter's betrothed, Your Highness" General Fang answered nonchalantly.
