Thus, Eva randomly selected a lucky man in Heaven Dou City.

Then, relying on her peerless beauty and formidable strength, she effortlessly acquired a powerful family background in Heaven Dou City.

With a family and background behind her, combined with Eva's stunning beauty, everything that followed was child's play to her.

She easily entered Xue Ye's harem and even more easily became its most favored woman.

And after drinking Eva's specially prepared wine, Xue Ye permanently lost the ability to father children.

In Eva's eyes, Xue Ye was merely an aging tool who allowed her to indulge in a life of luxury and excess.

Share a bed with Xue Ye?

That would simply be desecrating herself!

How could an old man like him possibly deserve to be with her?

Eva only needed to use a simple illusion spell to make Xue Ye lose himself in a land of tenderness.

Xue Ye thought he had enjoyed every sensual pleasure, but in truth, he was merely amusing himself with air.

In just a few months, Eva had firmly claimed the position of foremost woman in the harem, with no one daring to challenge her.

Xue Ye doted on her and obeyed her every word, while the empire's high-ranking officials were filled with awe toward this mysterious and beautiful woman.

And now, only one reason remained why Eva had yet to become queen.

She had not borne a child.

A child had become the obstacle preventing her from becoming queen, even though Eva's current authority was no different from that of a queen.

But Eva liked the title of queen immensely, so she had long since prepared for the matter of having a child.

It so happened that Lin Wan had recently struck it lucky and drawn a large batch of character cards. She only needed to casually pick one child from among them.

At a glance, Eva selected one of her former children: Snow White.

The girl whose skin was white as snow, lips red as rose petals, and hair black as ebony.

She would become the most useful tool in Eva's hands.

Snow White's first reaction to Queen Eva's proposal was refusal.

After all, their past experiences together in the Fairy-Tale World had not been pleasant.

But after thinking for a moment, Snow White agreed.

Now, with the system's protection, they could not kill one another.

This guaranteed her life, and becoming a princess was clearly a good choice.

At this moment, Eva lounged lazily on a soft couch covered in snow bear fur, playing with the Magic Mirror in her hand.

Once again, she asked the question she made sure to confirm every day.

"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful woman on Douluo Continent right now?"

Eerie ripples spread across the Magic Mirror's deep surface, and a fawning voice, so flattering it was almost distorted, sounded from within.

"My incomparably noble, radiantly brilliant master! Your splendor is like the bright moon in the dark night, and your face is the Creator's most perfect masterpiece! Upon this vast continent, at this very moment, only you, Her Majesty Queen Eva, are the one and only, supreme most beautiful person! Your existence dims the stars and shames the flowers. You are beauty incarnate. You are the most beautiful woman on this continent!"

The Magic Mirror's extravagantly over-the-top flattery had clearly struck Eva right in the heart.

"Hahahahahaha—!"

A burst of brazen, uninhibited laughter erupted from Eva's mouth and echoed through her luxurious bedchamber.

She rose and walked before the enormous full-length mirror, admiring the woman in its reflection who could captivate the world.

"That's right!"

Facing her own reflection, she declared resolutely, "I am the most beautiful woman on Douluo Continent! I possess incomparable beauty. And soon, the supreme power of the Heaven Dou Empire will belong to me as well."

As for Xue Ye's newly favored consort, most people in Heaven Dou City did not take her seriously.

After all, in the eyes of all the nobles of Heaven Dou City, Eva was merely a beautiful woman.

They had seen far too many beautiful women in Heaven Dou City, and Eva was simply one of them.

So what if Eva possessed peerless beauty? She was still only a consort without children.

A favored consort without children was merely a plaything in Xue Ye's eyes.

As for what these people thought of her, Eva felt there was no need to worry. She had already written every one of them down in her little notebook.

Whenever she was in a bad mood, Eva would randomly choose one of them to torment for her own amusement.

Eva was not worried that she would be unable to deal with them. After all, her cultivation had reached Soul Douluo. Though she was not among the absolute strongest in all of Heaven Dou City, she still ranked near the top.

As for Heaven Dou City's nobles, their bodies had been nourished with heavenly treasures since childhood, they were extremely selective when acquiring Soul Rings, and they cultivated only intermittently. They had never endured even the slightest hardship in cultivation throughout their lives.

How could they possibly escape Eva's grasp?

As for those in Heaven Dou City whose cultivation surpassed Eva's, most of them were protectors of their respective sects. Their devotion to cultivation was exceptionally firm, and they paid no attention at all to political affairs.

And in Heaven Dou City, Ning Fengzhi was one of the few who did not underestimate Eva.

As the only sect among the Three Upper Sects composed of Support System Soul Masters, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's leader, Ning Fengzhi, had always worried about the sect's future development.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect currently had two Title Douluo, Gu Rong and Chen Xin, neither of them was young. What would become of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after they passed away?

Thus, Ning Fengzhi set his sights on the Heaven Dou Empire's future heir apparent.

He needed to prepare in advance for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. On one hand, he would continue searching for exceptionally talented Soul Masters; on the other, he would find a backer for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

And now, the Heaven Dou Empire's crown prince, Xue Qinghe, was the one Ning Fengzhi had chosen to place his bet on.

Heaven Dou City, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect residence.

It was an elegant and secluded garden estate, steeped in heritage at every turn.

At this moment, incense smoke curled through the sect leader's study, yet a trace of gravity hung in the air.

Ning Fengzhi gently set down his teacup and turned his gaze toward the young man seated opposite him.

The young man was the Heaven Dou Empire's crown prince, Xue Qinghe, and also his disciple.

Xue Qinghe wore the crown prince's usual attire. His features were handsome, his bearing calm and reserved, carrying an innate air of nobility.

Yet at this moment, a faint trace of contemplation also lay between his brows.

"Qinghe."

Looking at the still-pensive Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi asked, "What do you think of Lady Eva, the woman your imperial father has favored so greatly of late?"

He did not use the frivolous title of favored consort, instead addressing Eva with the more formal title of lady, which showed just how seriously he regarded her.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, swiftly considered the matter.

She had been playing Xue Qinghe for a year already and had thoroughly grasped this crown prince's personality, habits, and way of thinking.

She knew that Ning Fengzhi's question was by no means idle conversation.
