An Archaeological Dig Unearthed an Ancestor Who Won't Leave Me Alone

Pei Chuyou is a wealthy heiress whose favorite pastime is digging in the dirt for archaeological finds. After Pei Chuyou set off with her little hoe for the umpteenth time, her parents finally lost patience. “Your marriage has been arranged. Your fiancé will arrive today!” At that moment, Pei Chuyou was squatting beside a dirt pit in a mountain ravine. “Fine, fine. Whatever makes you happy.” Besides, she was far from the seat of power. That night, the archaeological team made a major discovery: an ancient male corpse in remarkably good condition. When the reconstructed image was ready, everyone gasped in amazement. Pei Chuyou stared at the handsome face on the screen and couldn't help remarking, “He's so good-looking. Too bad he's from a thousand years ago.” The next day, her fiancé, Huo Qingyu, arrived at the archaeological site. When his gaze landed precisely on Pei Chuyou, who was holding a small shovel, she was stunned. That face... It was 99.9% identical to the ancient corpse in last night's reconstruction! “At last,” he said, his voice low and pleasing, yet sending chills down Pei Chuyou's spine. “I've found you, A Chu.” Pei Chuyou forced a smile. “Mr. Huo? This is... our first time meeting, isn't it?” Only later did she learn the truth. An ancient soul had awakened inside his body. And by an incredible coincidence, she looked exactly like his beloved wife, who had eloped with another man. “It's a misunderstanding! Pure coincidence!” Pei Chuyou tried to reason with him. “I'm Pei Chuyou, not your wife! Look carefully.” Huo Qingyu gently pinned her against the wall, his nose brushing her ear. “I know.” He kissed her lips, parted in shock, his eyes filled with the dark, repressed obsession he'd carried for a thousand years. “I've always known it was you.”
