I'm a woman with a doctorate in business, reborn in the womb as the legitimate daughter of a minister.
At fourteen, I used modern ideas to build a beauty and fashion empire, becoming an imperial merchant in just two years. I made a name for myself at a polo match, and three top-tier men set their sights on me at once: a young general, the eldest prince, and the crown prince.
The eldest prince wanted me as his concubine. The crown prince wanted me to choose sides.
Only that young general kept showing up at my house like a fool, bringing me candy, horses, and hand-embroidered sachets.
I chose him.
A wedding, a pregnancy, a perfect life...
Then I was poisoned and sent on my way.
As I lay dying, I said, “Don't look for me. I'm going back to the modern world.”
He wouldn't listen.
He practiced the art of immortality and waited for me for a thousand years.
When we met again, he was my downstairs neighbor, running a café.
He watched me grow up, but didn't dare tell me, “You're the one I've been waiting for.”
Until he discovered that there was always a man in armor in my dreams.
“I deliberately let that cat get lost.”
“Just so I could meet you.”
What a fool.
