Blare opened her eyes and saw the wooden floor.

She was kneeling in front of someone.

She cannot lookup. The body she's residing in instinctively prevented her.

"Fang Chunhua! Even if you were to become an Empress, you can never own my heart!" A manly voice shouted in anger while Blare flinched at the last words that he shouted.

As soon as the man left the room in anger, fragments of memories of the body she's residing to were delivered in her soul.

Fang Chunhua. A beauty with brains and the talented daughter of General Fang Lei. She was engaged when she was a child with the man that just angrily left. That man was Wang Jianyi, the Crown Prince of the Yang Empire.

Wang Jianyi has never love or felt anything for Fang Chunhua. He was in love with Qiao Langfeng, a merchant's daughter in the Yin Empire.

Fang Chunhua dedicated her life to a man that never looked her way. She had excelled in literature, music, and arts but Wang Jianyi had never bothered knowing her achievements. Even when they got married and became his Empress, the man remained indifferent. But even after all this, Fang Chunhua remained close to the man and supported him as an Empress. But what did Fang Chunhua got in the end?

She was schemed by her own husband. Got dragged by him in the pit of fire as he watched her burn in an abandoned house. While her Fang family was executed for the treason that they never committed.

After all of Fang Chunhua's memories came into Blare's soul, a sweet, soft voice of a woman spoke,

"I have several wishes. First, do not marry Wang Jianyi. Second, save my Fang family and third... I want you to explore the world in my stead. Please show me what I've missed in my past life..."

Blare's body suddenly felt light. But her heart was still throbbing, she took a deep breath and stood up straight.

As she scanned the room. What she saw was an unfamiliar structure of the place. Blare was certain she was in China, after all, she recognized the yellow |×|cheongsam dress that she was wearing.

'Wow..' she thought as her eyes roamed the area.

"Young miss"

Blare look at the person who was bowing in the doorway.

"Young miss, General Fang wants to see you"

"Hm" she responded as she walks towards the male servant.

The servant bowed and lead her in the main hall. There, her father was seated alone and when he saw her, he gestured her to sit.

Blare sat like the literal young miss of the Fang family. 'Fang Chunhua's qualities that are still residing in this body are helpful at times like these' she thought as she elegantly poured a cup of tea for her father.

After all, Blare does not know the proper etiquette in Chinese culture. So she was thankful that the qualities of Fang Chunhua stayed.

"Do you still want to marry the Crown Prince?" General Fang gritted his teeth, he was aware that his daughter was not loved by Wang Jianyi.

"No father. Please... help me out of this excruciating engagement"

The moment Blare uttered those words, her heart felt so heavy and the next thing she knew, she was already bawling.

Her father hurriedly sat by her side and pat her back. His face was full of worry and pity for her daughter.

"I will, I will... Father won't let you be unhappy. |×|Hua'er, my child, stop crying" Her father embraces her daughter as the woman kept crying.

For General Fang, this is the first time that Fang Chunhua cried so much in front of him.

He knows that his daughter was rational but is blind when it comes to love. She never cried because he thought she didn't care if the man does not love her.

Now, seeing his daughter cry, he can only feel sad and angry. Angry for the man who disregarded his daughter. But General Fang knew that he can never go against the imperial family. He can only grit his teeth in anger.

Blare was shocked by her own reaction. Rather, she was alarmed that all of Fang Chunhua's sadness will reach to this extent. Blare never felt this sadness all her life.

It took 10 minutes before Blare can calm herself.

As Blare fixed herself and dried her tears with the long loose sleeves of her cheongsam dress, her hoarse voice said, "Father, what do we do? How can I avoid the imperial edict of the Emperor?"

The imperial edict was her marriage with Wang Jianyi when she was 4 years old and the man was 9 years old.

At such a young age, Fang Chunhua's fate was already written. Blare can only furrow her eyebrows in annoyance. She knows that disobeying the imperial edict of the royal family will endanger her and the Fang family.

"Hua'er, there is a way" Her father reassured,

"How?"

"We have to find another spouse for you. Hua'er, you were so young so you didn't understand all of His Majesty's decree. The imperial edict says that, if you or His Highness have found your true love, your engagement will be void."

Blare was genuinely shocked when she heard the imperial edict. Fang Chunhua did not know that the engagement can be void. Does this mean that Wang Jianyi also did not know the whole imperial edict?

Because if he knows, then he could easily dissolve the engagement, but he didn't.

Blare concluded that Wang Jianyi was totally unaware of the whole statement in the imperial decree. She just felt hopeless because the General never told his daughter that there was a way out.

To escape the marriage to Wang Jianyi, Blare is reluctant to marry another. In this era, it is impossible to find a man that will let her roam free in the future.

"|×|Chunhua understands father. Please let me choose my potential husband," Blare lied.

General Fang did not expect her daughter to be so brazen and would actually choose her own husband!

The middle-aged man just sighed and let her daughter be.

General Fang lowered his voice. "You need to find someone in a month. A suitable man Hua'er, do not take in any random low man."

'Damn it,' Blare thought.

She was actually planning to take a random low man if she needed to marry. So she can also be unrestricted in the future.

Blare only nodded in response to her father's stern voice.
