To some men, seeing a blushing woman looking towards them will definitely move their hearts.

Zhao Kang belonged to that kind of men. But he can only smile bitterly. 'I don't deserve her.' he thought as he headed towards his room.

Blare did not see his bitter smile. But she knows that the man did not respond to her affection because of their status.

One was the honorable General Fang Lei's youngest daughter and the other one was the son of a peasant.

Blare understood this fact. Status, even in the modern era, is definitely an issue between couples. Moreover, ancient China ruled by the Imperial family is a big wall that Blare have to climb.

But she wouldn't climb, she would break that wall.

Fang Chunhua needed a sincere man to love her, and now she can feel that Fang Chunhua is liking Zhao Kang. The man was honest to the bone and would surely treat Fang Chunhua with love.

Moreover, Blare needed to win these missions in order to wake up in a coma without getting disfigured.

Her actions may not fit the ancient era, but so what? It was never good to hold back when the solutions are in front of you.

Marrying a man from a humble birth will definitely stir the royals and rich families. They would be so brazen as to give a scornful and mocking gaze to the Fang family. 

'Hmp! So what?!' Blare mentally huff as she looked out in the window.

Fang Chunhua never really cared for the people who gave her scornful gazes. Her family's social standing may be questioned, but due to the success of General Fang Lei as a warrior and even supporting the current Emperor, who could reprimand her? Moreover, her father insisted that she marry Zhao Kang or another man from a humble birth.

Her family would even be a less threat to the imperial family because she married a humble man. Wouldn't that fulfill the second wish of Fang Chunhua? She was almost fulfilling the three wishes!

Blare pat herself in the back, she was almost at the end of the game! Right now, she plans to make Zhao Kang break his shackles and fall for her without feeling restricted.

Blare fell asleep after, feeling tired from today's shopping and planning.

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace, General Fang kneeled while the Empress is seated on her throne.

No one else was present, only the two.

"General Fang, this Empress is worried for Hua'er. How is she faring?" The Empress soothing voice echoed in the spacious main hall. 

"Hua'er is doing great, Your Majesty. This subordinate is thankful for checking on his daughter" General Fang replied in a calm tone.

"That's strange. This Empress thought that the annulment greatly devastated Hua'er. It looks like I have mistaken" The Empress tone turned cold.

General Fang did not even flinch and only said, "This subordinate's daughter is very good at adapting."

"Hm. I heard Hua'er had also found her true love? The man even accompanied her to the Wanshu Empire."

It did not surprise General Fang that the Empress already knew where his daughter went. After all, the walls of every noble under the imperial family have ears and eyes in them.

"Replying to Her Majesty... Hua'er and my future son-in-law, Zhao Kang have fallen in love with each other. It is this subordinate's duty to support his daughter's wish." General Fang replied, his head bowed low.

"Zhao Kang... Which family is he?" the Empress turned curious,

"Replying to Her Majesty... Zhao Kang came from humble birth, thus, his family is not known"

"You let your daughter marry a commoner?!" the Empress did not expect Fang Chunhua would willing to marry a commoner to replace his son.

The Empress had long thought that Fang Chunhua's love was a facade to make his son jealous. But even after Wang Jianyi visited the Fang Estate, the two never become betrothed again. Then, the Empress thought that Fang Chunhua was trying to escape the imperial family by marrying into a powerful nobility. However, her spies within the Fang Estate was unaware of Zhao Kang's status, thus, it did not confirm her assumption. The General has hidden his background well.

The Empress had even assumed that Fang Chunhua was scheming something and she will use that to eliminate Fang Chunhua. But who would have thought that it was a commoner? It was so harmless! The Empress can only hide the bitterness in her heart.

She had no excuse to eliminate Fang Chunhua because she married a commoner. But she will make the girl suffer, one way or another. 

"To answer Her Majesty, this subordinate has fully supported the relationship between the two. It did not matter to this subordinate whether future son-in-law is from a humble birth or not" General Fang gave the same answer he said to Wang Jianyi.

The Empress studied the General before she dismissed him. Through the wave of her hand, General Fang left without any strong emotions plastered on his face.

As General Fang turned around to leave, the Empress gaze softened. A feeling of longing can be seen in her eyes.

After all, General Fang Lei was the Empress's first and only love.
