Mission Mishaps

INT - MORNING - SHUIYUNTIAN/YUJING/ARBITER HALL/XIAOLANHUA'S ROOM CHARACTER: XIAOLANHUA

△ Dawn.

△ The camera pans through a window into a room (Xiaolanhua's room), filled with everyday items, seemingly chaotic yet organized (reference: a single woman's apartment from a Japanese drama). The camera slowly pans across pens, books, cosmetics, and other miscellaneous items, finally settling on a small single bed.

△ Xiaolanhua is fast asleep on the bed, only half her head and one hand protruding from beneath the covers. On this hand, she wears a wooden bracelet engraved with a red leaf (Destiny Book)-shaped emblem.

△ Outside the window, the Fate Tree rustles gently, and several new leaves sprout from its branches at visible speed, before quickly falling to the ground and transforming into gilded leaf-shaped Destiny Books.

△ At the same moment, the red leaf symbol on Xiaolanhua's bracelet lights up, emitting a dazzling golden light and a magical sound.

△ Xiaolanhua seems startled from under the covers, stirring slightly, but does not wake up.

△ A vine reaches out and pokes Xiaolanhua.

△ Xiaolanhua ignores it, pulling the blanket up higher, covering her head, and curling up into a ball.

△ The vine shoots out and lashes hard at the blanket—Xiaolanhua, clutching her bottom, jerks off the blanket and sits up abruptly. Her hair is disheveled, her eyes are sleepy, she has dark circles under her eyes, and her face is filled with exasperation and despair.

Xiaolanhua: (Roaring) What are you doing! Are you crazy! Do you know what time I finally slept after working last night?!

Xiaolanhua O.S.: …Actually, there are Fairies like me who have to work.

△ The vine turns and points out the window. Xiaolanhua looks out—outside the window was the huge Fate Tree, with countless red leaves rustling gently.

△ Xiaolanhua's mood improves slightly, and a hint of assurance appears on her face.

Xiaolanhua: (Uttering to herself) I'm almost at fifty thousand.
