I returned to my hometown after winning the koi lottery.

The system prompt sounded suddenly, welcoming the host to the prologue - redemption of the snowy wasteland.

Xiao Tao immediately got a little excited. "What are you doing? I'm fine at home, you damn system, why are you so crazy to make me come here?"

The system's mechanical voice is not pleasant. The host is randomly selected from tens of millions of people. This opportunity means that you are particularly lucky.

Sister Xiaotao felt a little dizzy. It seemed that Koi’s health was not good. She was too lucky. This kind of luck was not what she needed.

But there is no other way, now we can only take it one step at a time!

In a vast expanse of ice and snow, the strong wind, carrying blizzards, was howling wildly.

The white snow piled up like mountains, decorating the earth into a dead silver world.

In the distance, a towering castle is looming in the wind and snow, with its spire reaching into the sky, as if declaring its indomitable spirit to this cruel natural environment.

Sister Xiaotao, an ordinary girl, was somehow drawn into this mysterious world of ice and snow.

She was wearing thin clothes and was struggling to move forward in the snow and ice. Every step seemed so heavy.

The biting cold wind cut across her cheeks like a knife, but there was a determined light in her eyes, and she had only one belief in her heart: to find the way home.

After going through untold hardships, Sister Tao finally arrived at the castle gate.

The gate was closed tightly, and was carved with exquisite patterns, but now it was covered by a thick layer of ice.

Sister Xiaotao pushed hard, but the door didn't budge.

Just when she felt desperate, a little snow fox emerged from the snow pile next to her.

The snow fox is completely white, except for its eyes which are as bright as rubies.

It rubbed its head against Sister Tao's leg, then ran around the gate and stopped in a hidden corner.

Sister Xiaotao understood what he meant and followed the snow fox over and found a small mechanism there.

She gently turned the mechanism, and with a click, the door slowly opened.

The interior of the castle was dark and silent, and the portraits hanging on the walls had become blurred by the erosion of time.

Sister Tao walked forward cautiously, her footsteps echoing in the empty corridor. Deep in the castle, she found a huge room.

The floor of the room was paved with smooth marble and the walls were inlaid with glittering gems.

In the center of the room, there is a crystal ball shining with light.

The crystal ball was suspended in the air, emitting a soft blue light, as if calling Sister Xiao Tao.

When she approached the crystal ball, pictures suddenly appeared in it.

In the picture, this place was once a beautiful kingdom with blue sky, white clouds, and green grass, and people lived happily on this land.

Children are playing in the fields, and adults are working hard in the fields. It is a peaceful scene.

However, the good times did not last long, as the appearance of an evil wizard broke everything.

The wizard was jealous of the king's wealth and his people's happiness, so he cast a dark spell and placed a vicious curse on the kingdom.

In an instant, the sky became overcast and snowflakes fluttered down. The whole kingdom was covered with ice and snow, and the people fell into endless pain.

It turns out that only by breaking the wizard's magic seal can this place be restored to life and Xiao Tao can find her way home. The key to breaking the seal lies in the crystal ball.

Sister Xiao Tao took a deep breath and recited the mysterious spell according to the instructions shown by the crystal ball.

The spell was ancient and obscure, and every syllable seemed to contain endless power.

As the spell was recited, the crystal ball emitted increasingly brighter light, illuminating the entire castle.

The originally dark corners became bright, and the portraits on the walls gradually regained their former colors.

Suddenly, a powerful force surged from the crystal ball and rushed towards the top of the castle. Then, the castle began to shake violently, and the ice and snow on the snowy wasteland began to melt. Huge blocks of ice slid from the castle roof and hit the ground with a deafening sound.

Sister Tao clutched the crystal ball tightly, trying to maintain her balance. She knew she was on a thrilling adventure, where success or failure depended on it.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the sound of Sister Tao's heartbeat was particularly clear in the silent castle. Finally, with a loud bang, a crack appeared on the top of the castle, and a dazzling sunlight shone through the gap.

At the same time, the ice and snow on the icy wasteland melted rapidly, turning into trickles flowing in all directions.

The rivers began to flow again, and the fish swam happily in the water; the land regained its vitality, and tender green shoots broke through the ground.

When everything returned to calm, Sister Tao walked out of the castle. At this time, the outside world had been completely transformed, with bright sunshine and green grass. The former snowy wasteland had disappeared, replaced by a beautiful country.

Colorful flowers are blooming, emitting bursts of fragrance; birds are singing happily on the branches, as if celebrating this hard-won new life.

With the help of the people in this country, Xiao Tao found her way home. When she returned to her familiar world, she seemed to have experienced a long and fantastic dream.

But she knows that this experience will be forever engraved in her heart and make her stronger and braver.

From then on, whenever Sister Tao encountered difficulties, she would think of the castle on the snowy wasteland and everything she had experienced there.

She believes that as long as there is faith in one's heart, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome.
