Time can sculpt a young girl's youthful and beautiful face into one that is mature and weathered, and it can also make a young boy's tender body become resolute.

"Aaaaaah!!!" A slightly frantic, clear female voice came from a room on the third floor of the apartment.

The camera passes through the door and goes straight to the toilet and bathroom.

Looking up from a slightly lewd angle, the first thing that comes into view is a pair of long, shapely, fair legs, pressed tightly together in a captivating curve. Moving upwards, a pert bottom, encased in short pajama bottoms, sways restlessly from side to side, followed by a slender waist that can be encircled with one hand.

"Phew... That scared me to death. I thought it was wrinkles, but it turns out it was from sleeping on my stomach."

That's right, the reason for the scream was that when Midis, the Sword Master, woke up in the morning, she noticed that there seemed to be fine wrinkles under her eyes. Midis, who had an absolute fear of the taboo of age, was most afraid of people saying that she was an old maid.

Because of the damage done to her reputation, by the time Midis realized what had happened, she had already lost her luck with men after becoming a Sword Master.

The young woman became a "leftover woman," which is something that can't be helped.

It's worth mentioning that her other three sisters all seem to have found their own happiness, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Midis. Although she is genuinely happy that her sisters are happy, her third sister (note: Sword Demon), whom she hadn't contacted for a long time, suddenly sent her an email a few days ago.

Aside from the obviously copied and pasted greetings at the beginning, the pointless sadistic remarks, and the sarcastic remarks at the end that made Midis's veins bulge, the only thing of value was probably... that the third sister's daughter, who was also Midis's niece, would be staying with Midis for a while for some reason.

Holy shit! !

My third sister has a daughter?! She had no idea!

Upon seeing the email, Midis's first reaction was to spit out all the coffee in her mouth onto her colleague's face. She simply couldn't believe that her third sister, who had such a severe case of "queen syndrome," actually had a daughter! Judging from the tone of her third sister's email, it seemed her niece was quite old; they had really kept it from her for a long time.

While washing up, Midis looked at herself in the mirror with her mouth full of white foam, and as an office worker, she suddenly realized something.

"Come to think of it, it seems to be today."

My niece's flight should arrive around noon on her day off, barring any delays. No airport pickup is needed; my third sister subtly mentioned in an email that her daughter is quite mature and sensible, requiring little attention. But honestly, given my third sister's personality, Mitis finds it hard to imagine how she'll raise her daughter. I really hope her poor niece hasn't gone astray.

Waaaaaah!

The kettle on the stove boiled, and as usual on her day off, she made herself a bowl of instant noodles. This bowl of noodles was equivalent to Mitis's breakfast and lunch; this one meal was enough for her to stay energetic until evening.

Let me formally introduce it once again.

Midis, age 32, former profession: Sword Master, current profession: office worker in the Quality Management Department of Kanina Bread Company. Personal life: Single since birth. Personality: Her swordsmanship seems to have completely vanished; she's not much different from an ordinary female office worker.

Outside the Arad Apartments.

A fashionable woman, wearing white peep-toe boots, a pencil skirt, and large sunglasses, looked up at the apartment building that would be her temporary residence. Like Midis, she had pale white hair and red eyes, and her beautiful face possessed a cold, aloof beauty that seemed capable of drawing frost from a blade!

She is the Yellow Springs who came to this world.

Following the system's guidance, Huang Quan easily acquired her identity in this world. Although having a mother with a queen-like personality out of nowhere was a headache for Huang Quan, fortunately, that adoptive mother didn't care about her and disappeared without a trace after only a few meetings.

I moved into the apartment with my suitcase. Hmm... the name of this apartment is quite interesting, it's called Arad.

A well-proportioned, aloof, and sophisticated woman is always eye-catching. Huang Quan had already attracted quite a few glances in just a few minutes. Most of these glances were admiring and amazed. If she had a long, elegant cigarette between her red lips, her aura would surely be even more captivating.

What a heartwarming world.

There was no bloodshed for survival, no grand war; the world was quiet. So quiet that Huang Quan was reluctant to use her astonishing power, having already learned to control it without the system needing to say anything.

The gentle intoxication lasted only a moment; the beautiful eyes behind the sunglasses quickly regained the tranquil clarity unique to Huang Quan, as if containing a cold sternness that kept people at a distance.

Clang! Clang!

A rhythmic knocking sounded, and Huang Quan stood in front of the door at the address her cheap mother had given her. Thanks to her cheap mother, she already knew some basic information about the owner of the place she was staying.

In terms of family relations, Mitis should be called Aunt.

A single woman in her late thirties...

A moment after the knocking, Huang Quan's exceptional hearing detected the noise coming from inside the apartment. Her breathing quickened slightly. The legendary [Sword Master]—a great milestone in one of her professions! Such a swordsman must be extraordinary!

"Ah~~, who is it?"

Yawning, Mitis pushed open the door, tears still glistening in her eyes. Stepping out of the room, she was momentarily disoriented by the bright sunlight and couldn't make out the figure standing before her.

"Hello, Aunt Mitis..."

"Well!?"

Looking at Mitis in her loose-fitting pajamas, which vaguely revealed a hint of allure beneath, Huang Quan felt a sense of absurdity. This woman, who bore a striking resemblance to himself, was nothing like a swordsman.

Chapter Two: Meeting with the Rai

When Midis, disheveled and still sleepy, heard the word "aunt," her sleepiness vanished instantly.

She had assumed it was the milkman who delivered milk that morning, but to her surprise, it was her niece, whom she had never met before, who had arrived so early. Seeing her niece looking so disheveled, Midis's smile gradually faded.

Ah, how embarrassing it is to be in front of the younger generation.

I feel like half my life is already over. My niece will definitely use this as leverage to laugh at me mercilessly later...

Bang! ! !

The poor door was slammed shut! Huang Quan, standing outside the door, still had unresolved questions in her eyes. The airflow from the violent slamming of the door blew her white bangs aside, revealing the demonic marks that once represented the struggle between the two great demons. Now, they were no longer as unstable as before.

"Aunt Mitis...!"

Realizing what had happened, Huang Quan hurriedly went up and knocked on the door again. He was still wondering what had gotten into Jianliao. Being locked out, Huang Quan didn't want to have to endure a rough night.

Inside the room, Midis was frantically changing clothes and putting on makeup in front of the mirror.

She rarely goes to such lengths on her days off! Even though it was just a brief glimpse… Midis, who was applying lipstick, could still see her niece's remarkably youthful aura. She wouldn't admit defeat! She was determined to prove she was still an unmarried young woman, not a 32-year-old spinster!

Her uniform-inspired office attire (she rarely wears fashionable clothes outside because she doesn't have dates), coupled with her mature and tolerant demeanor (although she's been single since birth, she's already a married woman), after dressing up, Mitis turned around in front of the mirror and smiled gently. The person in the mirror seemed to be the same as before.

"Great! If I go out like this, people won't think I'm thirty, but rather that I'm still a teenager, hehe!"

Full of confidence! Having mentally prepared herself, Mitis reopened the front door! She wanted to show her niece that even with the advantage of age, she was invincible! Come on, let's settle this here and now!

'My foolish niece, let me see the surprise on your face.' With a smug look in her eyes, Midis reached out and fiddled with her short silver hair, exuding a captivating charm.

"..."

Contrary to Midis's expectations, Huang Quan's beautiful face displayed a chilling, oppressive iciness. With her back to the sunlight streaming into the apartment, Huang Quan slowly and deliberately removed her sunglasses. Just then, a gust of wind blew from behind her, tossing her flowing white hair.

Her lips curved slightly upward, radiating pride and confidence like a goddess—absolutely stunning! Even the most clueless man would fall at her feet!

Midis stopped thinking for a moment, as if he had lost completely.

“Aunt Midis, I am Huang Quan. Please guide me from today onwards.” His sharp, heroic eyes firmly grasped Midis’s hand.

Almost simultaneously! A look of understanding flashed in both Midis's and Huang Quan's eyes. Long, well-proportioned, powerful yet supple—because they had both practiced the same swordsmanship, the structure of their hands was practically identical! Holding his aunt's hand tightly, Huang Quan seemed to sense something and squeezed it slightly…

"Haha, I knew it was you just by looking at your face! Come in, come in and sit down!"

As if electrocuted, Midis quickly broke free from Huang Quan's grasp and warmly invited Huang Quan into the house.

Huang Quan, who had been gripping her aunt's soft hand tightly, was somewhat taken aback. Her aunt had been holding on very hard, yet she had been freed in an instant. And she herself hadn't felt a thing; her aunt had simply let go naturally. How interesting…

Indeed, we cannot judge things by appearances alone; we must delve deeper to see the truth.

Midis warmly welcomed her niece in, feeling a pang of nostalgia. Her house had rarely had any decent guests, especially since she became an office worker. The first guest would be her beautiful niece, Huang Quan; the thought of living together for a while filled her with a little excitement.

If we go out together, people will probably mistake us for sisters.

Midis, who was secretly laughing to herself, led Huang Quan to the living room, but then her laughter stopped.

The lobby resembled a garbage dump, with leftover takeout boxes piled haphazardly on the coffee table, and a small mountain of instant noodle boxes was particularly shocking. While the sofa area was relatively cleaner, clothes and blankets were carelessly tossed about, and Huang Quan, with his keen eyesight, easily spotted several bras and underwear.

Hmm, surprisingly bold and unrestrained.

Midis naturally noticed Huang Quan's eerie and profound gaze. In her haste to dress, Midis had neglected her surroundings and immediately felt her dignity as an aunt completely shattered in front of her niece. With a forced smile, Midis looked at Huang Quan, tears welling in her eyes.

The understanding Huang Quan delivered the finishing blow at just the right moment.

“Aunt Midis, let me help you pack.” After putting down the suitcase, Huang Quan naturally rummaged through the mess of clutter and found an apron. Then he found cleaning tools in a dusty corner. Midis’s face grew hotter at his practiced movements.

How come you're so skilled at this?!

She's just a child! How can she be so understanding and considerate like a perfect housewife? Is the education your third sister is giving you some kind of bride training?! With a wry smile, Midis naturally couldn't watch her niece diligently tidying up. While secretly reflecting on her own laziness, she also joined in the cleaning.

After half an hour.

"Phew...!" Midis let out a long sigh of relief, wiping non-existent sweat from her forehead. Looking at the living room, which was filled with the scent of orange air freshener and sparkled everywhere, a sense of satisfaction welled up inside her!

"I'm going to throw away the trash." Huang Quan, wearing a pink apron, carried a trash bag.

"Oh? Okay."

With remarkable efficiency, Huang Quan left a message and went out. Watching Huang Quan's decisive figure, Midis couldn't help but rest her chin on her hand and fall into deep thought.

Is Huang Quan really the third sister's child?

Judging from her appearance, there was no mistake, but... Midis recalled the special feeling when her niece shook her hand, and her exceptionally strong personality that didn't need anyone's worry. Midis just couldn't believe that her third sister's crazy personality could raise such a perfect daughter.

But my niece and I seem to get along quite well!

Mitis was nodding when suddenly her brow furrowed! The next moment, she darted out the door!

"Wait! Huang Quan! That bag contains my unwashed clothes, not trash!!!"

Chapter Three: Let's Wash Together

"...To be honest, at first glance I thought you were the second sister's daughter, not the third sister's."

Two long, strong legs were pressed together, draped diagonally over the edge of the sofa. Midis held a cup of hot water and stared at Huang Quan with great interest. In fact, she hadn't finished speaking. Upon closer inspection, her niece Huang Quan was a perfect combination of the features of all four sisters.

The second sister is calm and resilient, the third sister is decisive and bold, and the fourth sister is calm and indifferent.

And of course, her stunning figure, being the eldest sister, is a must-mention!

"..."

Not knowing how to answer Aunt Midis's question, Huang Quan tilted her head slightly. Sipping her hot water, her thoughts were already on the crucial question of whether there was any black tea in the nearby vending machine. If black tea existed in this world, what an enchanting taste it would be!

Huang Quan is really looking forward to it.

Little did she know how devastating her seemingly innocent, awkward head tilt was; the subtle gestures of a seemingly emotionless girl could always unexpectedly make one's heart flutter. Midis almost couldn't resist pulling her niece into her arms, kneading and cuddling her like a large rag doll!

"Oh right, I forgot to ask. How's your mother doing lately? We haven't seen her in a long time..." Trying to appear nonchalant, Mitis's eyes darkened slightly as she casually mentioned Huang Quan's adoptive mother in this world. Mitis's subtle movement was barely noticeable; Huang Quan neither observed nor noticed it.

"I rarely see my mother."

"What? Doesn't she care about you at all? Is she still as carefree as she was when you were a child?"

Upon hearing that her third sister had become an irresponsible mother, Midis was both angry and heartbroken as she looked at her niece, Huang Quan, who seemed indifferent to the situation.

"It must be tough being alone."
