"Qingqing, welcome back. "How do you feel?"

"Not bad, how many points did I get for my mission this time?" Qing Qing couldn't wait to know how it was going.

"You did well this time. Your mission is rated S, 1,000 points awarded." However, this mission is not difficult. Qing Qing, you need to be on guard against arrogance and rashness, and do this quest properly. "

"Stop, I know all of this. Let's hurry to the next world." Hearing what the System said, Qing Qing acted like it was the head of the Education Bureau, and quickly called for them to stop.

"Alright, I'll teleport you to the next world now." The System could only shed tears silently in its heart, its good intentions were actually ignored.

"..."

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the black mosquito net. As her consciousness gradually returned to her body, the hard wooden bed boards beneath her and the stone-hard pillow made her scalp tingle.

The furnishings in the house were shabby and simple. It was clear that the original owner's house was not rich or even poor.

At this moment, the original owner's memories flooded into his mind.

The original owner's name was Ruan Qing. She was a peasant girl. Although their families were farmers from the Ruan Family Village for generations, their poor lives didn't crush them. They were still grateful that God had fed them. But the tranquillity of life was broken by a massive drought all over the country.

The drought lasted for two years, a nightmare for the whole village. In order to pay taxes, the villagers had pawned all the goods they could. However, this was just a drop in the bucket. Many families had no choice but to sell their daughters to a rich family to serve as maids. However, this was already the best ending. There were some who might sell to a woman who bought them by selling them to brothels.

The male lead was Gu Feng, an elderly unmarried young man. He was a hunter from a mountain not far away from the Ruan Family Village. In his previous life, when the Ruan Qing family decided to sell her to a large family to be their servant girl, Gu Feng suddenly asked the Ruan family's parents for marriage and promised the Ruan family's parents a gift equal to the price of the silver that Ruan Qing sold her for.

When the Ruan Family heard this news, they were naturally overjoyed. However, Ruan Qing didn't like the barbarian Gu Feng that the village people spoke of. She felt that it would truly be a grievance if a delicate beauty like her were to become Gu Feng's wife. Thus, she refused to marry Gu Feng no matter what, and even forced him to marry her with her death.

Gu Feng saw that Ruan Qing had a tough attitude and didn't want to rob a commoner. Thus, he gave up on the matter of marriage.

When the marriage ended, Ruan Qing could only be sold to the big families in the town. Because of her appearance, the original owner's maid was taken away by the young master of that family. However, the good news did not last long. How could this village girl, Ruan Qing, understand the inner chamber's internal strife? She was killed a year later by the partnership of the young master's concubines. The young master was sad for a while, but soon after, he happily married a concubine to her.

The moment before Ruan Qing died, she regretted being blinded by wealth. If she had agreed to Gu Feng's proposal, wouldn't she have died a violent death?

The time that Qing Qing was wearing was the day before Gu Feng proposed to marry him, so it was still too late.

"Little sister, quickly get up. The hunter Gu Feng has come to propose marriage. You don't need to go to other people's house to suffer." Ruan Ma rushed in, her voice filled with a slight choking sound.

"Mother, I'll dress first before going out." Qing Qing feigned shyness.

"Of course, of course. Although my daughter is a natural beauty, after all, this is your life's greatest affair. You should dress up properly, and make sure to make Gu Feng lose his head." With regards to Ruan's mother's mysterious confidence, Qing Qing could only respond with a dry laugh.

After sending off Ruan Mu, Qing Qing sat in front of the mirror and carefully observed Ruan Qing's appearance. As for why she was a famous beauty, it was because although Ruan Qing worked in the fields all year round, her skin was not too dark. Compared to the dark and unassuming people of the same age in the village, the fair skin of Ruan Qing was naturally considered a beauty by others. In addition, when Ruan Qing smiled, her charming dimples added a bit of intelligence to her plain facial features.
