Three years after I transmigrated here, I finally completed the system's mission. I gave up on the idea of going home and chose to stay, spending the rest of my life with the man I love most in this world. Kingston Johnson held my hand, his eyes filled with deep affection. "Kylie, I swear I'll never let you down for the rest of our lives." Five years later, the system reappeared: [Original plot detected. Mission restarted.] Margaret, my half-sister who once eloped with a poor scholar, returned to the capital after her husband's death. She wore black, her eyes brimming with tears, looking delicate. Kingston seemed to forget the five years of deep love we'd shared. "The Queen is barren and jealous. The Imperial Consort enters the palace, now standing as the Queen's equal in all but name." I sat in the lonely night at Phoenix Palace when that familiar voice echoed in my ears. The system rebooted: [You can go home in seven days, but you'll have to endure pain and torment.] On the seventh day, blood poured from my mouth as I collapsed at Kingston's feet. The only thing left in my sight was the endless blue sky. Kingston was nowhere to be seen.
