The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age
Chapter 1



Snow continued to fall, its descent silently becoming a relentless barrage above the earth. It has been a long time since the restoration of the Xia Dynasty. The whole world is covered in snow.


Several crows appeared out of nowhere, dark wings flapping as they flew across the sky towards the highest palace in the capital, becoming the only visible living creature in this tranquil world.


"Sister!" The young emperor wearing imperial robes cried. Tears streamed down his face as he was filled with sadness. The person she summoned as 'Sister' was the most legendary Eldest Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Wanyuan.


"Don't cry." The face of the woman lying on the bed was pale, but the gentleness in her eyes could not be hidden. Even though he had been bedridden for several days, his words still carried an undeniable strength. Perhaps it was already ingrained in him, having held a high position for a long time.


"I've taught you whatever I can. You should treat loyal officials well and take good care of Xiao Yu and Xiao Qiao."


Upon seeing Xia Wanyuan trying her best to raise her hand, Emperor Xia reached out to immediately hug her. A smile appeared on Xia Wanyuan's face. He glanced at his younger brother, who had grown into a man with the air of a king, and his younger siblings, who were crying in front of his bed.


"It's time for me to go." With limited strength left, Xia Wanyuan could no longer speak. He paused for a moment. "I will hand over the Xia Dynasty to you."


Saying those words had exhausted all his strength. Xia Wanyuan gradually closed her eyes. The cry grew louder, but it didn't seem to bother him anymore. Eventually, the voices faded into the distance gradually.


The eldest daughter of the Xia Dynasty, Xia Wanyuan, who raised Emperor Xia by herself, recruited all the talents in the world and laid a solid foundation for the Great Tian Yuan era, which was to become the most powerful, has died in the fifth year of Tian Yuan. .


Emperor Xia held a state funeral and buried the Eldest Princess in the Imperial Mausoleum. From then on, the most beautiful Eldest Princess was sealed in history.

The afternoon sun illuminated the villa located in the middle of the mountain. Through a large French window, sunlight shone on the face of the woman in the house. A light breeze blew past him, causing the wind chimes to clink.


Seemingly distracted by the sound of wind chimes, the woman on the bed frowned. His eyelashes fluttered twice before he finally opened his eyes slowly, revealing a pair of glass-like eyes. However, there was a look of confusion in his eyes.


The woman in bed remained in this motionless position for about half an hour. If not for the big blink of his eyes, others would have thought he was asleep again.


After digesting the newly discovered memories in her head, Xia Wanyuan took a deep breath. He raised his hand and pinched his arm. It was a little painful, and she finally accepted that what happened to her was true.


He, who had obviously died, somehow came back to life. It was just that he was currently reborn in the body of a woman, who had the same name as him, a thousand years later.


This Xia Wanyuan, who was born a thousand years later, also came from a wealthy family. However, the way he did things was frivolous and wild. He had a meeting with a group of friends the night before, and he became so drunk that the driver had to send him home.


By the way, that's pretty depressing. Although he was surrounded by people outside, no one noticed that he had been poisoned by alcohol after a rush. Not long after being helped into bed by a caregiver, the original owner of the body loses consciousness. Unfortunately, no matter how he struggled, no one came to save him. When he opened his eyes again, this body had been occupied by a soul from a thousand years ago.


Taking some time, he allowed himself to sit down slowly as he examined the scene before him. Recalling the rest of the memories that flooded his consciousness, Xia Wanyuan was somewhat shocked and emotional. He really did not expect that the current human race would evolve to this point. To think that the invention and development of society has exceeded all expectations in this day and age.


Those memories filled him with knowledge of things he had never known, the rise of technology, worldly creations that made the days more comfortable... Maybe things that are taken for granted.


His body was damp and had an unpleasant smell from a mixture of alcohol and an unknown aroma. Xia Wanyuan lifted the blanket and got off the bed. The headache from his drunkenness left him staggered. Stepping on the soft wool rug, he still felt unreal.


Following the memories of his original owner, he walked into the bathroom. The person in the mirror looked very disheveled. Her curly hair was messy, and her makeup was smeared. The bright red lips were a great surprise to Xia Wanyuan.


His hands fumbled, he turned the unknown switch in the bathroom and in a few moments, soothing music began to play. The warm water that had been adjusted automatically splashed onto his body. Xia Wanyuan took a long shower and cleaned the dirt on her body. It was only then that he finally felt a little better.


After she cleaned herself thoroughly, she stood in front of the mirror. The face on the mirror actually looked the same as Xia Wanyuan in his previous life. To be able to be called the most beautiful Eldest Princess of the Xia Dynasty, her appearance was naturally extremely outstanding.


However, ever since the country was in chaos when she was young, she had to raise her younger siblings while maintaining power on the political battlefield. The Eldest Princess, who had angered herself for so many years in the past, was naturally no longer the same person she was when she was young.


But the current Xia Wanyuan in front of the mirror was only twenty-two years old. He was in his prime, and his skin was as white as jade. His lips curled into a smile. The original Xia Wanyuan liked to look down on others from above, which made her beautiful eyes seem a little fierce. But now, Xia Wanyuan had a calm and elegant atmosphere between her eyebrows. In a daze, he seemed to shine brightly like a speck of dust on the bright pearls that had been brushed.


Xia Wanyuan, who was only wrapped in a bathrobe, was still somewhat unfamiliar with the way she dressed. However, the people of the Xia Dynasty were not so conservative compared to the others. After all, in this chaotic world, there were not many things to pay attention to. Moreover, Xia Wanyuan had never been a person who obeyed the rules. Since the current era was like this, he would follow the style of the times.


The bedroom is very large, with an accompanying balcony that is also equally large. Looking at the chair on the balcony, Xia Wanyuan walked up to him and sat down.


The weather today was very good. As night approached, large swathes of fiery clouds dyed the sky red. It was spring, and the gentle breeze made one feel very comfortable.


She single-handedly raised Emperor Xia, who had grown up to be able to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the empire. Therefore, he had died without any worries or regrets in his heart. So, what was the reason he was reborn here?


Xia Wanyuan thought about it for a moment. Suddenly, he decided to let go.


He always believed in destiny. Since heaven allowed him to come here, he might as well go with the flow. Xia Wanyuan combed her hair and smiled to the sky, her eyes filled with relief and calmness.


But thinking of the chaos left behind by the original owner of the body, Xia Wanyuan felt dizzy. The original owner of the body was good at causing trouble.


He had just tapped on the screen to answer the call when the person on the other end of the phone behaved as if he was lit up like a firecracker.


"Xia Wanyuan, why can't you stop doing stupid things? Do you still know that you are a public figure?! Last night, someone posted a video of you being drunk. Don't you think that you have gained enough hatred?! You have dragged the company down with you again and again! Do you really think you are a princess ?! "


Scanning his mind to match the voice on the phone, he finally identified it. This guy has to be his manager.


Xia Wanyuan came from a good family and had beauty. When he entered the entertainment industry, the company appreciated him, so they sent him an experienced manager, Chen Yun. Although Xia Wanyuan's acting ability was poor and she was arrogant without comparison, her family was rich and had capital. Over the years, she has been criticized by many, but she is still popular and gets a place in the entertainment industry.


By the way, that's kind of weird. In his previous life, being an entertainer was not a respected profession. It was unexpected that this job would be so popular right now.


If it was in the past, Chen Yun would definitely not dare to speak to Xia Wanyuan in such a manner. However, now that the investors had withdrawn their investments one after another, and the stocks had fallen rapidly, the Xia family faced the threat of collapse.


Just last night, Xia Corporation officially declared bankruptcy. Xia Wanyuan, who used to be the eldest daughter of Xia's wealthy family, no longer had the resources or support to be arrogant, and this had led to her recent alcohol addiction.


On the other end of the phone, Chen Yun was still talking nonstop, as if he had been suppressed too much in the past. Now, he finally had a chance to vent.


"Hi! Do you hear me!"


"Come tomorrow. We'll finish this then. "


Xia Wanyuan hung up, and the world finally calmed down.


Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, Chen Yun froze. It was true that the voice on the other end of the phone was Xia Wanyuan, but why did she feel that something was amiss? Shouldn't Xia Wanyuan curse him? Why did he become so calm, and what was with that commanding tone?


"What joke! I must have endured eight lifetime bad lucks to work with this unlucky star."


After cursing gently, Chen Yun immediately took a taxi to the company to clean up the mess caused by Xia Wanyuan. Meanwhile, in the villa, Xia Wanyuan curiously experienced new things that she had never seen before.


The real Xia Wanyuan had a flamboyant personality, so all she had was matching clothes and accessories. The wild combination of colors made his head hurt. Since the wardrobe was filled with brightly colored clothes, Xia Wanyuan had to scout around in it for a long time before finding a light blue knee-length silk dress to replace.


Taking her phone, she walked to the first floor where she found the waiter preparing food in the kitchen. When they heard it, they came out.


"Miss, dinner's almost ready."


Xia Wanyuan slightly raised her eyebrows. Based on his memories, the original owner of the body had married. However, she only got the chance to enter the Jun family by drugging her husband and making herself pregnant. Therefore, her husband asked her not to publicize their relationship, even though everyone in this villa knew about her.


'So they called me 'Miss' instead of 'Miss'. Looks like the original owner of the body was completely disliked.'


"Go and set the car. I went out."


"Miss, where are you going?" Nanny Li, who had been waiting for him for a long time, was completely fed up with Xia Wanyuan's words. He had just returned home after drinking so much last night, and now he was out again after waking up. He did not like the way Xia Wanyuan acted.


"I said, send the car." He slightly emphasized his words, which attracted Nanny Li's attention. Nanny Li raised her head and was stunned when she saw Xia Wanyuan.


The woman in front of him was wearing a light blue silk dress, with her curly hair hanging loosely on her shoulder. The face that was always clad in makeup looked plain, making it look smart and refreshing like a lush mountain range after the rain. And what scared her the most to stare straight at him was that impressive pair of eyes.


"OK, I'll have them set it up now." Before his brain could react, he had already subconsciously voiced his obedience.


The black car stopped in front of the door and the driver opened the door for Xia Wanyuan.


"Miss, where are you going?"


"TK International."


"Yes, Mom." Drivers are not used to hearing him go anywhere other than a bar or restaurant. 'What's wrong with Miss Xia today?'
