The Queen’s Rise to the Top

Chapter 2

Nan XiangWan felt the heavens were playing a joke on her in the evening.

She, the first female general of the empire, the goddess of death who struck terror in enemy countries with a mere mention of her name!

She didn't get into the military academy of the civilized world?

It was maddening!

According to information about this world, the requirements for admission to the military academy were extremely strict. Enrollment for outsiders was only open during the winter vacation, and they didn't accept repeat applicants.

So Nan XiangWan was out of chances.

It was over!

Ah!

She let out a yell of frustration!

Just then, her parents walked into the room.

Her mother Xin Zi's face was full of concern as she sat at the bedside stroking her daughter's cheeks. "Little Wan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Her father Nan Song frowned at the side. "Had a nightmare?"

Xin Zi glared at her husband. "It's all because of you, insisting that little Wan take the military academy exam. Now she's running a fever after coming back!"

Nan Song's mouth twitched. "It was just trying it out!"

"Our ChaoYang got in."

Xin Zi: "Keep quiet!"

Nan Song didn't say anything more, but his gaze at his daughter was also full of worry.

What was wrong with his daughter?

Nan XiangWan looked at her parents with vacant eyes, her face ashen.

Why did she transmigrate so late?

Even just two months earlier would've been fine!

With her physical fitness and reaction speed, she would've definitely gotten into the military academy!

Her parents didn't know what Nan XiangWan was thinking. They kept doting on her.

After some thought, Nan Song said, "It's alright, little Wan. If you didn't get in, you didn't get in.

Xin Zi also comforted, "Don't worry too much about the college entrance exam either. We still have half a year. Maybe one day you'll suddenly score much higher."

Nan Song: "That's wishful thinking."

He understood his daughter well.

She simply wasn't the studious type!

Xin Zi: "Keep it to yourself!"

Nan XiangWan: "Oh, I don't want to study."

She wanted to kill people.

Nan Song suddenly suggested, "Our little Wan has always been a beauty. Why not become an actress?"

Xin Zi: "Little Wan, what do you think about becoming an actress?"

Nan XiangWan: "Heh."

No way!

She wanted to become a general and lead troops into battle!

Just then,

[Ding!]

[Triggered Quest: Participate in a talent search show]

[Quest Details: How can a top-tier celebrity not start from a talent search show? Please sign up for a trainee talent search show, host, to increase your exposure.]

[Quest Rewards: +10 Appearance, +10 Figure, +10 Charm]

[Quest Failure: Electric Shock Punishment]

Nan XiangWan lay still.

[Does the host confirm accepting electric shock punishment?]

Whoosh!

Nan XiangWan leapt up sharply.

A talent search!

What's wrong with her participating?

Her parents stared blankly at their daughter's dramatic reaction. What was going on?

Nan XiangWan cleared her throat. "Mom, Dad, the trainee talent search?"

Nan Song was surprised. "You want to participate in that? Sure! Dad will sign you up!"

But after saying so, Nan Song felt a little worried.

The thing was, his precious daughter, she was useless at everything except eating, which she excelled at.

The trainee talent search was a singing and dancing program.

Out of 100 trainees, 7 would be selected to debut in a group.

His daughter had never learned music or dance since young!

It would be difficult!

But well, trying wouldn't hurt!

After her parents left the room, Nan XiangWan lay still for a while longer.

She was processing the information in her mind!

She didn't know if something went wrong while transmigrating, but she only had some information and some was missing. Her memories were fragmented.

She didn't have a comprehensive understanding of this body either!

Nan XiangWan got up to walk around and saw a head peeking from outside her door.

It was Nan ChaoYang, spying on her.

Nan XiangWan beckoned him over. "Come here."

Nan ChaoYang's eyes showed unwillingness, but he swaggered in since he'd been caught anyway.

As he walked, he said sarcastically, "Nan XiangWan, who do you think you're ordering around?"

Before he could finish speaking,

Swish!

Nan XiangWan suddenly lifted her leg.

Nan ChaoYang hurriedly ducked and squatted down.

His knee was still hurting from Nan XiangWan's earlier kick.

This squatting was a subconscious reaction.

Nan XiangWan was very satisfied. She reached out and rubbed his head. "Good, obedient."

Nan ChaoYang's face instantly turned red. Damn.

He had actually ducked and covered his head subconsciously?

It was too embarrassing!

Just then, Nan XiangWan spoke again, "Remember, you have to address me respectfully as big sister from now on. Don't call me directly by name."

Nan ChaoYang stood up and jutted out his chin. "Nan XiangWan, I think you-"

Before he could finish speaking,

Swish!

Nan XiangWan lifted her leg again, her eyes cold and murderous!

Her imposing aura was so sharp it frightened Nan ChaoYang into not daring to move.

He swallowed and said meekly, "Alright, big sister."

Nan XiangWan was definitely not normal.

Her strength had suddenly become so great, her moves so aggressive!

Nan ChaoYang absolutely wasn't afraid of being beaten by his big sister!

But, sobs, his knee still hurt.

His shoulder too!

Wah, big sister was so fierce!

She scared him to death!

Seeing Nan ChaoYang run out pitifully,

Nan XiangWan disdainfully clicked her tongue.

Little brat, wanting to fight against her?

He was still too green!

She could suppress him in minutes!

After closing the door, Nan XiangWan began her daily workout routine.

However, this body really was very weak.

She was already panting after just fifty one-armed pushups!

Useless!

Nan XiangWan wasn't resigned. She switched hands and continued the one-armed pushups.

She increased her speed. Move it, give me strength!

Swish swish swish!

Sweat poured like rain!

At the same time, the system sounded.

[Ding!]

[Host's physical strength has increased. Appearance +5, Figure +5, Charm +3]

Nan XiangWan: ???

Why were her appearance, figure and charm increasing when she was training her body?

What about strength?

Combat ability?

Her powerful explosive power?

Damn system!

Just then, the information in her system panel underwent earth-shattering changes too.

[Top Star System]

[Host: Nan XiangWan]

[Age: 17]

[Appearance: 95 (Breathtakingly Beautiful)]

[Figure: 95 (Breathtakingly Beautiful)]

[Charm: 93 (Charismatic)]

[Skills: None (Extremely Useless)]

[Assets: 200 RMB (As Poor as a Dog)]

Nan XiangWan really was speechless. This system's wording was quite flowery.

But seeing that her stats had all increased to over 90, it meant the previous quest to participate in the trainee search was complete.

It was a little unexpected that it happened so quickly.

After completing 100 one-armed pushups with both left and right hands, Nan XiangWan immediately moved on to other exercises.

She didn't stop for the entire morning, working up a huge sweat!

After the intense workout, she went to take a bath.

Her parents still doted on her very much. Her room had a private bathroom.

Nan ChaoYang didn't have one.

She also had a walk-in closet full of neatly lined clothes in all styles and colors.

Nan ChaoYang didn't have this either.

However, looking in the mirror in the bathroom, Nan XiangWan wished she could punch the mirror!

This face, this skin, and the slender arms and legs.

One look and you could tell she was useless in a fight!

It was so aggravating!

After her bath, her mom called her for lunch from outside.

Nan XiangWan walked out, her hair still wet and dripping.

The three in the dining room were stunned at the sight.

Her slightly upturned eyes held an innate bewitching quality, and her exquisite features seemed flawlessly sculpted. Combined together, she looked unbelievably perfect!

It was as if the female lead of a comic had walked out.

Even Nan ChaoYang was dumbstruck. He suddenly realized Nan XiangWan was so beautiful.

She was beautiful before too, but not this beautiful!

Her parents took one look and were internally proud.

Their daughter was simply gorgeous!

Just look at that pretty face!
