Bai Lan and other servants have set up the table. There is Li Jun. There is his second wife. There is his son. There is me. Why I am here? I don't fit this 'family mealtime' equation at all. Though Bai Lan is cool and composed, the servants are looking at me with curiosity. His concubine is all smiles. I feel jolts in my body when I notice the look in her eyes. This princess doesn't like that I am here. I don't like her either. "Are we having an early lunch?" His second wife asks him. Early lunch? I…-

The maid places the two sets of clothes in front of me - male and female. Her face is lowered. So, I can't see her expression. I can guess that she already knows that I am a female. Then, why did Li Jun give me the options? Last night, he asked me to follow this maid to a courtyard. Ironically, it's closer to the same tree where I met him when he was 10. He has a good memory. Being a woman is not advantageous in these times. I don't know what is my future. I am a freak now. I have a body that can't die…

Wu Yixing watches his wife pace around in their bedroom in anger. She stops and glares at him. Then, she resumes her strolls around the room. She stops again and looks at him like she wants to bury him at the spot. She clenches her fists and crosses her arms. He is amused to see her like this. It's only been 2 days since their wedding. He finds her expressions more interesting than poisons. "Mo Qian, those fake balls on your chest moves up and down like a real thing when you walk like this." Yoori stops…

"Ngh..." Kyuri winces in pain when Wu Yixing makes a small cut on her hand. No blood comes out. Wu Yixing keeps a straight face. The small cut heals itself in seconds. Is this poison or magic? She can feel pain though. "I guess it can't be helped." She chuckles lightly, but her eyes can't hide the fear. "I will take a layer of skin if it is alright with you?" Since blood cannot be taken, a small piece of flesh should do. "It will hurt." "No." Yoori can't see more. "Xiao Wei isn't your guinea…

Yoori is surprised. She couldn't imagine that Wu Yixing would offer to make the antidote for her niece. The cause for Kyuri's condition is unknown, but that purple smoke is definitely one of the reasons. Did he already notice Kyuri's condition? Her opinions regarding Wu Yixing begin to change. "The poison inside you is strange. I want to study it." Wu Yixing looks at Kyuri with excitement in his eyes. "I love studying new poisons." "..." And her opinions regarding Wu Yixing changes back to the way it…

He doesn't trust Mo Qian even if she is related to the witch. He finally gives in to the compulsion and leaves to visit his friend. He stops the carriage in front of the gate. On the opposite side of the road, a small figure is drawing circles on the ground. A figure he would recognize anywhere. He takes long strides in her…

Her sleeping face is certainly inviting. He leans down and kisses her cherry lips, causing her to wake up. She pushes him away and screams, "What are you doing?" "You are awake." Wu Yixing leans down again to steal another kiss. She slows down the time to avoid being caught and climbs off the bed to escape his clutches. She runs to the other side of the room. When the 10 seconds are over, Wu Yixing finds that his wife is not on the bed. "You are fast." He is surprised by her speed. It will be trouble…

Two days are gone. I have been walking continuously for a long time. The temporary situation feels more and more permanent. I don't know whether to cry or laugh. At this moment in my life, I don't know whether I am a ghost or a living. Am I already dead? Am I a ghost who doesn't know that she is dead? "I think that's the mountain ghost." "He has been wandering around the forest for a long time." "The ghost of the man who is still looking for his lover." The whispers snap me out of my thoughts. The…

My body feels good as new. Even the old scars are gone. I try to listen to the time crystal. It's dead silent. The uneasiness doesn't go away. I concentrate and try to time travel again. Nothing happens. My ability is gone? I go to the river and drink the water. The sun is at the top. I have no idea where I am. I can only tell one thing. I only traveled 10 hours in the future to this unknown location since the moment I escaped from the purple smoke. I am not afraid. I am sure that this is temporary. It…

Wu Yixing peeks down at the dark cavity. He drops a stone and hears nothing. He can't imagine what kind of force has done this here. The six highly trained shadow guards are killed by two women. Mo Qian's martial level is not high. How did they even manage to make this hole here? A shadow guard materializes before them. "Master, we have found Mo Qian lying unconscious 30 meters away from this area." Li Jun creases his brows. "What about the other one?" The guard bows his head. "We have searched for the…
