The bright moon hangs high, beckoning him down from his pedestal.

Shen Qingruo looked at herself. Yes, she was not in the royal genealogy. There was no blood relation between them.

In terms of status and in name, she and he had no relation whatsoever.

This realization shattered the last vestiges of her hesitation.

"Then what should I do?" She looked up, her gaze clear as she looked at the small ball of light. "It seems I have two problems in front of me now."

"First, how do I let him know that I am not his blood relative?"

"Second, how can I make him see me with the eyes a man looks at a woman?"

Xiao Jiu's aura flickered a few times, as if she was thinking seriously.

"The first problem can't be rushed; it requires the right timing," it said in its soft, childlike voice, with an air of analysis.

"As for the second one, Aruo, what kind of woman do you think Shen Wangxi likes?"

Shen Qingruo thought for a moment: "Like Empress Ulan, bright and noble, like the most beautiful flower on the grassland."

"That's right!" Xiao Jiu affirmed. "He's used to that kind of passionate and flamboyant beauty, and he's always thought you were his daughter. He's bound by traditional moral principles, so naturally he can't see your charming face or your graceful figure."

"So?" Shen Qingruo asked, puzzled.

"So, you need to make sure he sees it," Xiao Jiu said excitedly. "Play to your strengths."

"Advantages?" Shen Qingruo frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. "You mean...?"

"I'm referring to your uniquely gifted body, which has been modified by the system!" Xiao Jiu's ball of light spun around.

"Aruo, you are like a piece of exquisite jade, but you hide yourself in a dusty box. You need to open the box yourself and let the light shine through."

It gave an example: "It's like the legendary Daji. Even if she possessed an ordinary-looking woman, she could make that woman incredibly charming and captivating."

"What you possess now is already the body of a stunning beauty, but you need to make that beauty more vibrant and alluring."

Shen Qingruo seemed thoughtful: "You mean I'm too obedient and don't know how to use my own assets?"

"That's right!" Xiao Jiu said cheerfully, "When you walk, your waist can be more flexible, and your skirt can sway, creating a fragrant breeze."

"When you look at him, your eyes can be more alluring, glistening with tears, as if you want to say something but hold back."

"When you speak, your voice could be softer and gentler, with the last syllable slightly drawn out..."

Shen Qingruo listened, her cheeks slightly flushed, but she still pondered seriously.

Xiao Jiu pressed on while the iron was hot: "We can start with the eyes. There's a skill called 'Autumn Water Bright Eyes' in the shop. After you redeem it, you'll be able to master the skill of conveying various emotions with your eyes."

"For example, how to look at a man with tender affection, how to appear heartbroken and aggrieved in different situations, but in a way that makes the man feel that it's not just simple grievance, but also a subtle, unconscious seduction that makes his heart soften and itch..."

"After you exchange them, these skills will be automatically imprinted in your mind. You only need to practice in front of the mirror a few times, and you will soon be able to master them."

Shen Qingruo remained silent for a moment, then her gaze returned to the mirror. The girl in the mirror had beautiful features and snow-white skin, but her eyes held a blankness; she was pretty but not alluring.

She took a deep breath, her voice soft yet firm: "Okay, Xiao Jiu, help me exchange for [Autumn Water Bright Eyes]."

"Great! Aruo, you've finally figured it out." The ball of light instantly brightened.

A stream of light merged into Shen Qingruo, and she looked at herself in the mirror again, trying to recall the grievances she had suffered in the Imperial Garden.

The girl in the mirror slowly reddened at the corners of her eyes, her long eyelashes were slightly wet, and her eyes looked at you with a heartbreaking fragility, but deep within the shimmering water was a seductive charm that lured people in without their knowledge.

She tried to imagine what dependence would look like, her eyes softly lifting up, full of trust and admiration, her gaze carrying an indescribable tenderness.

"Yes! That's it!" Xiao Jiu cheered excitedly in her mind. "Aruo, you're a natural-born fairy, you learn so fast!"

Shen Qingruo looked at the pair of seemingly expressive eyes in the mirror, pursed her delicate lips, and smiled, her beauty captivating.
