Longing for You, Far Away

A modern-day wage slave stumbles into a memory pawnshop. The mysterious shopkeeper smiles gently. “You must see the story through, or you’ll never be able to return.” Xu Zhiyu looks at the people in front of her, who look exactly like her parents, utterly baffled. Did she transmigrate into the body of a prime minister’s legitimate daughter? And she even has an older brother who’s a total sister-complex!

Just as Xu Zhiyu is ready to accept her new life and enjoy herself, an unwelcome visitor appears.

“I want to marry you.” The man looks exactly like the scumbag from her modern life, and he’s saying exactly the same thing he did back then. What on earth is going on?

The sudden massacre of her family catches Xu Zhiyu completely off guard. A mysterious master, a melodramatic turn of events, and a man collapsed outside her pharmacy suddenly make her realize: she’s the heroine of this world!

So the good-for-nothing becomes a princess consort. Together with the man at her side, she turns the tide step by step and brings order to a court beset by troubles at home and abroad.

At the very end, that man makes another outrageous claim: “That scumbag from your modern life? That was me.”

Behind the truth of it all lies a secret too difficult to put into words.
