Note: The reason she is so fragile after her soul transmigrates is that she's affected by the subconscious of the girl's body. She also has none of the original owner's memories.
Modern-day Su Xun is transported by an unbelievable accident into the body of a girl with the same name in the Republican era. There's just something a little off about this body...
As her soul falls into turmoil, a man forcibly lifts her chin.
And so the gears of fate begin to turn.
After an unknown amount of time, the gunfire outside suddenly stops, but approaching footsteps grow louder.
Su Xun's fingertips tighten around the sachet until they turn white.
Ouyang Zun's hard-soled shoes stop in front of the crate.
She looks up and meets his icy gaze, only then realizing that the hand clutching the sachet is trembling. While she'd been distracted, the binding cloth around her chest had loosened by half an inch. The collar of her long robe had slipped open, revealing the delicate curve of her neck and the faint trace of her collarbone.
"A girl disguised as a man. You hid it well."
Ouyang Zun's voice is cold as ice. He pinches her loose collar, and as the fabric rubs together, the binding cloth around her chest comes plainly into view.
Su Xun goes rigid, as if nailed to the spot. She frantically tries to pull her collar closed, but he grabs her wrist with his other hand, squeezing so hard it feels like he might crush her bones.
"Master Zun... I didn't do it on purpose!"
Her voice trembles, and tears brim in her eyes, but she stubbornly refuses to let them fall.
He takes her to the dungeon again...
A disastrous start, and now she's accidentally revealed her gender too. Su Xun is at a loss for what to do.
Men aren't that fragile, right? Tears well up in my eyes [covers face], or maybe I had a tomboy-like personality before.
The writing is very delicate. Although the traces of AI are quite obvious, the plot design is very clever and the style of the Republic of China is also well created.
Very nice, nice, nice.
