After my college entrance exams, I dashed out of the exam hall and was hit by a truck, sending me straight into an ancient tomb as a burial offering.
When I opened my eyes, I was treated as a prisoner and presented to the cold-faced general, Pei Heng.
He taught me to ride and shoot, and shielded me from hidden arrows. “Wanwan, I’ll keep you safe for the rest of your life.”
It wasn’t until his childhood sweetheart, Xie Yungui, appeared that I realized I was her stand-in.
When she fell into the water, he shoved me into the lake himself. “Wanwan, Yungui is frail. Go warm the water for her.”
When I opened my eyes again, I was back in front of the truck, just after my exams.
A news alert popped up on my phone: “Tomb of a General and His Wife, Buried Together for a Thousand Years, Unsealed. Pei Heng Was Clutching a Modern Electronic Watch.”
I deleted the text that said, “Pei Heng, I’m back.”
“This time, I’ll rely on myself alone.”
