Blare opened her eyes and saw the vast white space. She was back in the void.
[First mission, complete! Blare Hawkins had successfully fulfilled Fang Chunhua's three wishes and her hidden wish!] Reyna cheered.
Blare blinked a few times to process the system's words. Then relaxed as she sat on the white marble floor.
"Hm. So her hidden wish was the last one. Will it appear on other missions? or will I do something that can trigger it?"
[Your words of encouragement back then triggered it. It can also unlock when a certain situation affects the original owner. Hidden wishes are great to complete your missions faster, but it is risky! I will explain the bad side later. Right now, here are your current points for completing the first mission.]
"Points?" Blare was confused, then a hologram in front of Blare appeared and it read,
¦Accumulated points: 1000/10000
||Love meter: 0/10
After seeing her points, she couldn't help but say, "I thought unlocking hidden wishes.. Will also make the points higher.." Blare face and tone held disappointment.
"Also, love meter? What is this Reyna? Are these missions a game?" She added, her eyebrow raised in disbelief.
[Your points will signify if you can go back in your own world without any major injuries. Moreover, your points are high! Perfect points would be 1000. As a matter of fact, you didn't actually accomplish her third wish. However, completing her hidden wish can gain you perfect points, which you just did!] Reyna replied.
[As for the love meter, it is a warning and you can never treat these missions as a game, Blare.] Reyna added as she replied to her questions chronologically.
"Hm... Her third wish which is about traveling the world is impossible... Fine, I guess I lacked at that. I was actually planning to travel to Europe. But thinking about the excruciating months of traveling is.. not really to my liking." Blare crossed her arms and sighed in defeat. She did not reply to Reyna's last sentence because she's not planning to fall for a man that the system created.
Reyna read her mind and said, [Blare, all the characters in those worlds are real. The only difference is your worlds. You can be with the man, but you have to sacrifice all you have.]
"Well, thank you for that. I won't really fall in love if I have to sacrifice everything." Blare quickly replied.
[... Anyway, you have to see what happened when Fang Chunhua got back in Yang Empire. There was some drama that you missed.]

The hologram changed into a big screen in front of her. Blare watched it while sitting on the white marble floor.
Fang Chunhua arrived in the Fang Estate together with Zhao Kang. General Fang Lei and Zhao Kang's parents greeted them outside the Fang Estate.
The couple was shocked that their families had gathered. Going inside the Fang Estate and having a dinner, General Fang didn't idle and told Fang Chunhua that he wants Zhao Kang as her betrothed and no other man will do.
The woman gaped, then laugh heartily. While Zhao Kang let out a chuckle.
Then the couple told them that they were actually planning to woo each other's family to be together. This delighted the two fathers, while Zhao Kang's mother, who was slowly healing, gave out her biggest smile.
The two families ate with their stomachs and hearts fulfilled.
The Fang twins, Fang Chuntao and Fang Chuanli visited with their spouse and children when they heard Fang Chunhua's new engagement. The twins did not let Zhao Kang have it easy, they made him do labor work for the sudden renovation of Fang Chunhua's room. Then always stared at him menacingly during dinner time.
Zhao Kang, of course, did not give up on this challenge. He pleased her father and her older siblings. Did all they ordered and act as a filial son-in-law.
The twins hesitantly accepted him but gave up in the end when Fang Chunhua was set on loving the man. Zhao Kang was the same, he swore on his ancestors grave that Fang Chunhua is the only woman he loves.
General Fang also accepted Zhao Kang wholeheartedly. Status did not matter to the Fang family. That is why Fang Chunhua grew up with a clear understanding of the people. She was the perfect Empress who knew her people but was killed in her past life. Now in the present, Fang Chunhua is alive and kicking.
But the drama happened after half a year. The Empress was arrested with treason. She was caught making an alliance on their enemy, the Gao Empire.
Who caught her?
It was her only son, Wang Jianyi.
"Ha!" Blare couldn't help but comment. She smiled mockingly on the screen.
Wang Jianyi discovered that the Empress had planned to marry Fang Chunhua to the Emperor of Gao who have a thousand concubines. She would offer Fang Chunhua as a concubine to the Emperor of Gao with the excuse of making a peace treaty with the Gao Empire.
But the Empress had turned deaf to his son's warning. Wang Jianyi started investigating his own mother back when he warned her. He also discovered that her mother really hated Fang Chunhua to the core because of her birth mother, Yao Qianqian.
Struck with guilt and pain for his misbehavior in the past, Wang Jianyi revealed her mother's scheme to the Emperor and General Fang.
Naturally, the General was enraged at this. While the Emperor could not hide his disdain on the Empress.
The Emperor and General Fang grew up together after all. The Emperor did not even love the Empress, it was a marriage of convenience.
It was only natural that the Emperor would side with his longtime friend, General Fang.
When the Empress was going to be hanged as a punishment. Her past crimes and schemes suddenly came into light, these turned the Empress' punishment in the form of torture.
Through Fang Chuntao and Fang Chuanli's evidence. They revealed that the Empress had wanted their mother and them dead.
Being poisoned and kidnapped were the heartless things that the 5-year-old twins experienced from the Empress. When they knew that their mother was also being targeted. The twins did everything they can to prevent anyone from harming their mother. At such a young age of 10, the two became strong mentally and physically.
The twins excelled in every aspect. Martial arts, medicine and literature were the subjects they mastered for 20 years.
After their mother's death, the Empress scheming stopped. They were fortunate to be informed that she was starting to move again. This time, her target was their little sister, Fang Chunhua.
Because of the protection of her family, Fang Chunhua and Zhao Kang were never harmed in any way.
The Empress was dethroned and was tied in a prison. Her whole body was full of bruises, old and new. She suffered for a year before her body finally gave up.
Dying at the age of 35, the dethroned Empress, Yao Lijuan, was remembered as the worst reigning royal in their Empire.
Wang Jianyi still became the Emperor of Yang Empire after his father retired. In the end, the woman he broke up with confessed to him. It took two years before Wang Jianyi accepted Qiao Langfeng's heart and to move on from his first love, Fang Chunhua.
Eventually, Fang Chunhua forgave him from his insults. But what he did in the past will never be forgotten. Instead, she treated it as a lesson in her life.
Qiao Langfeng became the Empress of Yang Empire. Both happily married and ruled the Empire accordingly.
Fang Chunhua and Zhao Kang lived normally. Through Zhao Kang's efforts, he became known as the greatest artisan in the whole continent. Even though he came from humble birth, his creations made the nobility admire the man.
At his side, Fang Chunhua was the designer of the hair ornaments that the nobilities fancied. The peasants on the other hand also admired the simple hair ornaments that the couple created at an affordable price.
For the past 10 years, Fang Chunhua was blessed with 5 children. Who all grew up humble and proud.
Then years passed, Fang Chunhua at the age of 90, and Zhao Kang at the age of 93. Died in their spacious bed, their face contented, holding each other's hand tightly. Until both of them slept eternally.
