Lady of the Lord From the East

[Edited] Chapter 2

Compared to the amazement in Earl Felix's eyes, the person in the tree, Wei Wei, was filled with fright.

As a traveler, Wei Wei only wanted to log out of the system and scold them once she realized she had traveled to the wrong place.

Let's rewind about an hour ago.

At that time, Wei Wei was just an ordinary person in the 21st century, immersed in the mobile game "Reincarnation," where she had won the first prize.

The prize was a journey through time.

Of course, a mere mobile game couldn't physically transport someone through time. This first prize was granted by the Samsara System from the underworld, and it just so happened that they shared the same name.

Wei Wei had never considered time travel, especially not in ancient times.

Living in the most democratic and technologically advanced 21st century, Wei Wei had no interest in a world devoid of modern technology.

But fate had other plans for her this year.

Only those who had died unexpectedly were eligible to participate in this lottery, and Wei Wei, at 24, was one of them. The system found her after she had already passed away.

It was an unforeseeable accident. While playing online games at home as usual, a small steel ball flew through the open window and struck her temple. With a sharp pain, she died instantly.

Now, the Samsara System gave her two choices: either stay in the city of the dead for the remaining 60 years she should have lived or accept its reincarnation gift package.

Wei Wei wasn't foolish; being alive as a human was better than being a ghost.

And the time-travel package seemed promising. Apart from the location, everything else was negotiable. That was one of the notable perks of the time-travel package.

She could choose any identity she desired, as long as it wasn't that of a monarch. Moreover, she could draw a "golden finger"—a special ability or advantage—from the Wheel of Fortune.

There were many coveted abilities on the Wheel of Fortune, but Wei Wei drew an encyclopedic library that only existed in consciousness.

This golden finger was a great advantage, especially in ancient times.

If knowledge was power, she was invincible.

"Tell me, what identity do you want? I'll arrange it for you now," the system prompted.

In feudal ancient times, noble birth was undeniably advantageous. Since she was among the lucky ones, the underworld was happy to grant her this privilege.

Not wanting to take over someone else's body and life, Wei Wei, in her soul state, turned her attention to the table.

A sly glint appeared in her eyes. "Is any identity really okay?"

The newly appointed Samsara System didn't understand human cunning and replied honestly, "[Except for being an emperor, everything else is possible. However, the identity should not be too conspicuous, or monsters might notice and harm you. I won't be responsible for after-sales service.]"

"Then I want this!" Her slender fingers, unable to touch anything anymore, pointed at the computer screen.

On the screen, a female doctor character in martial arts attire was diligently exploring dungeons with her captain.

"You can say anything you want. I don't want to take over someone else's body; I just want to be this female doctor."

The female doctor was a supporting character in "Reincarnation," known as the healer or "nanny," affiliated with the Xuanqingguan school. She had a background in legend, excelled in healing, possessed some combat skills, and played a supportive role with her dual expertise in medicine and poison.

Moreover, the appearance of the female doctor's character was quite appealing to Wei Wei, who wasn't satisfied with overly glamorous features.

The Samsara System hesitated for a moment and objected, "[No, this character's setting is too unnatural for ordinary society and may disrupt the balance.]"

"You mentioned earlier that I could live in the new world as I wanted. Why are you concerned about balance now?"

"Besides, if we talk about disrupting balance, the encyclopedic library I just obtained disrupts balance too, right? Don't think I didn't notice those overpowered abilities in the lucky wheel!"

The Samsara System was momentarily speechless.

Fortunately, Wei Wei wasn't greedy. Most of her interest in the female doctor character stemmed from her appearance. Since she had chosen one already, the system's rejection made it easier for her to negotiate.

"Fine, then weaken all her abilities except medicine and poison skills, and add a bit of self-defense for me. How about that?"

The Samsara System hesitated, "[This...]"

Hearing its hesitation, Wei Wei pressed on, "You see, winning your time-travel package means we're destined to cooperate. You wouldn't want me to pass and then die immediately due to illness or calamity in ancient times, right? Medicine and poison skills will allow me to handle basic situations; it's not too much, is it?"

"[Hmm... That seems reasonable.]"

"As long as you've agreed, let's proceed," Wei Wei affirmed.

The next moment, she closed her eyes and departed from the world, leaving behind a bright smile for the little light floating in front of her. "Thank you, System, for allowing me to embark on this journey of a second life."

The Samsara System blushed slightly and replied insincerely, "[It's all because you were lucky enough to win the first prize.]"

"But I still want to thank you for accommodating my requests."

"[—It's fine.]"

With that, she entered a dark void, ready to start her new life in another world.
