Hua Jing's mouth fell open like a fish gasping for air. Her eyes darted across the Hall of Radiance, taking in every opulent detail.

"Wow!" she breathed, barely able to contain herself.

It was one thing to know the imperial palace was extravagant, but this… this was something else entirely.

Gold. Everywhere.

Everywhere she looked, there were rare gems embedded into walls, jade pillars, golden chandeliers, and carpets that probably cost more than an entire city block in her original world. Her mind spun as she mentally calculated the worth of everything in sight.

If I could just take a small bit of that gold trim on the columns… or maybe one of those emeralds over there…

In her world, these things would be worth millions—millions! If she ever managed to return home, she would never have to work another day in her life!
