Just as she was at a complete loss, a strange voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have been chosen by the unbelievably amazing, invincible Universal System as a host! Please choose: Accept… or Accept?]
Lu Jinhuan was so startled that she nearly lost her soul. Her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed onto the floor.
[Hehe! Don’t be scared! Let me introduce myself. I’m the Fertility System. You are my 10,086th host. My purpose is to help you win palace intrigues, family feuds, and mother-in-law battles. Complete the missions I assign, have lots of children, and I’ll help you reach the pinnacle of life!]
Lu Jinhuan’s tiny face turned deathly pale, and her wide eyes were filled with terror.
“Are… are you a ghost?”
[Nope~ My serial number is 9527. I’m a member of the Space-Time Administration Bureau. Once we’re bonded, no matter what’s wrong with your spouse even if he’s completely infertile I can still help you conceive his children!]
Lu Jinhuan’s eyes instantly lit up.
This was exactly what she needed!
From what her father had implied, the He family valued descendants above all else. Lu Jinyun and the He family’s second son had been married for years without having a child.
If she married into the He family and gave birth to several children…
Wouldn’t that let her finally get revenge by standing above Lu Jinyun?
Then she’d make Lu Jinyun experience what it was like to be treated like a servant.
Hehe…
Thinking of this, Lu Jinhuan hurriedly nodded and agreed to bind herself to the Fertility System.
[Ding! Binding successful. New Host Gift Pack awarded: +10 Points.]
[System Mission Issued: Please choose a man to marry as soon as possible and successfully consummate the marriage. Mission Reward: +20 Points.]
Lu Jinhuan looked completely confused.
“What are points?”
“And what’s a gift pack?”
[Dear host, points are a form of currency. You can use them in the System Shop to purchase items that help with childbirth and family battles. Would you like to take a look?]
The moment she heard the words System Shop, she roughly understood.
It’s probably something like the supply-and-marketing cooperative or a department store.
“Show me.”
[Certainly! The System Shop is now open. Please browse at your leisure!]
Being called “Host” over and over made Lu Jinhuan feel awkward.
“System, don’t call me ‘Host’ anymore. From now on, just call me Xiao Huan.”
[Of course, dear! And don’t call me ‘System’ either. Call me 9527, or give me any nickname you like. Just make it something cute. My previous host called me ‘Supreme Tyrant,’ and I really didn’t like that!]
Lu Jinhuan couldn’t help laughing. Gradually, she became less afraid of the mysterious system.
“When I was little, I had an adorable bunny. I named it Qiuqiu. Sadly… Lu Jinyun killed it and ate it. I’ve never forgotten it. From now on, can I call you Qiuqiu?”
[Of course I really like the name Qiuqiu!]
The girl and the system chatted for a while longer, quickly growing much closer.
When they finished talking, a huge screen appeared in Lu Jinhuan’s mind, displaying all kinds of miraculous pills.

…
Only these items were available. The remaining slots in the shop were grayed out.
Lu Jinhuan’s head spun.
What should I do? I want them all…
Unfortunately, the upper-right corner of the screen clearly displayed:
Balance: 10
“Qiuqiu, can I buy now and pay later?”
[No, you can’t~ Xiaohuan, you’re already very pretty. You’re just a little short. I recommend buying a Body Sculpting Pill to improve your proportions. That’ll help you find a spouse faster, complete your first mission, and earn another 20 points!]
Lu Jinhuan shook her head.
“No. I stopped growing after I turned fifteen. If I suddenly got taller, what if my father noticed?”
She measured her height every year. She was 162 centimeters tall. Her two best friends were 158 and 160 centimeters respectively. Compared to them, she was already quite satisfied with her height.
After browsing for a while, Lu Jinhuan finally chose:
One Fragrant Body Pill
One Papaya Enhancement Pill
One Bone Beauty Pill
The three purchases used up all her points.
She already thought she was fairly pretty.
But what girl could resist becoming even more beautiful?
As for the enhancement pill…
She felt that without support, her chest wasn’t as firm as she’d like. She hoped it would stay naturally lifted.
The moment she clicked Purchase, three tiny golden pills instantly appeared in her hand.
Each was about the size of a soybean and emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.
Without hesitation, she popped all three into her mouth.
Before she even reached for water, the pills dissolved completely with her saliva.
A minute later, she suddenly caught the faint scent of orchids.
It was like orchids covered in morning dew fresh, elegant, and refined as though the fragrance seeped from her very bones and lingered in the air.
Immediately afterward, she felt changes throughout her body. Most noticeably, her chest gradually became fuller and more lifted.
Startled, Lu Jinhuan quickly locked the door, drew the curtains, and hurriedly loosened the undershirt beneath her blouse.
The moment she looked down, her mouth fell open in shock.
Her previously modest chest had become noticeably fuller and firmer.
She slipped one of her fair little hands inside her collar to check and realized she could no longer wrap her hand around it as she once could.
“Wow!”
[Everything produced by this system is top quality! Xiaohuan, go look in the mirror!]
Grinning from ear to ear, Lu Jinhuan ran to her desk, picked up a small round mirror, and gasped in astonishment.
The girl reflected in the mirror had skin so smooth that not a single pore was visible. Her complexion was even, luminous, and soft as jade.
Her facial features had become more refined and well-defined.
Her large eyes were clear and bright, with gently upturned corners that lent them a naturally alluring charm. Her eyebrows were delicately shaped and softly colored, making her appear even gentler.
Purity remained the foundation of her beauty.
Yet beneath that innocence lay an effortless, captivating allure.
If she had once possessed only a trace of natural charm, now she radiated an irresistible blend of innocence and graceful seduction.
