"Xiao Wei." Wu Yixing, the sly fox, pats my back. "Come inside the carriage. I will give you the tonic. Your body will be good as new in the few days." "Xiao Wei, don't worry. Sit with them. They are good people." Aunt Yoori grins. "I will sit outside with the driver." I shake her head frantically. She can't understand what I am trying to say.

Wu Yixing cocks his head and smiles slyly. "I am curious about why you are coming with me."

Two years ago, his first wife died. Wu Qiuyue takes…

I am sitting on the branch of the tree eating the food that I stole from the kitchen in the Li Household. It's been 3 years since the night of the assassination attempt. I have good reasons for coming here next. Ten years old Li Jun won't be strong enough to kill me if the timekeeper decides to use his body. If we fight one on one, I am likely to win physically. I also want to check if they are doing okay. My aunt is better at these things. I should ask her what to do. I don't have to worry about her…

She turns around. Her eyes become big when she sees me sitting on the bed. She is wearing the same blue pajama that I wore on the day I traveled to the day of my death and saw the timekeeper killing me. There is still some time before she travels to the future and begins this loop. "Who... what... are you me?" She stammers with disbelief. "Yes." I smile at her. "I have control now." "Really?" She jumps happily. "I am so happy. You are here to tell me this news?" I feel like I am paying a big price. I…

It's over before it begins. Their bodies are torn apart by the vines. They didn't even have the time to use the spray. The flesh is absorbed by the vines, leaving only the bones. I hear the same laughter. I take a deep breath. It knows that I am here. I walk into the room of bones. The vines are waggling in all the direction. The time crystal flower is a shimmering beauty. The flower is as big as a fat toddler. The time crystal plant is slightly tilted to the right because of the weight. I can't see it,…

"Here." He gives me a passport and a ticket at the airport. "Kang Si An, you are so capable." I giggle when I see the name and information. My name and information are the same, but it's still fake. In this timeline, I am dead. The present is the best time to take action. I still have five days until I go back to my correct time. That timekeeper is right.
