When the real heiress returned, Shen Jinglu promptly stepped aside and went back to the remote mountains with just fourteen yuan and fifty cents to her name.
She thought she'd spend the rest of her life alone in a shabby guesthouse. Then, with a ding, the gates to countless worlds swung wide open.
[Mission 1: Treat the cold-faced regent, who is gravely injured and burning with fever]
[Mission 2: Save the irritable female general suffering from appearance anxiety]
[Mission 3: Soothe the impoverished young prince, who is on the verge of turning evil]
To stay alive and make a little extra money, Shen Jinglu pulled out ibuprofen, cosmetics, and a tablet.
She only meant to be a heartless money-making machine, but somehow became the beloved of powerful figures from ancient times.
The decisive regent, his ears red, pressed an ancestral jade hairpin into her hand. “You saved my life. The only way I can repay you is by giving myself to you.”
The spirited female general swept in with gold bars and booked out the entire place. “Anyone who dares bully Lady Shen will answer to me. I'll raze their whole family!”
When the real heiress arrived with her scumbag boyfriend to mock her, she found the guesthouse surrounded by rows of elite guards in ancient dress.
Then came an unexpected twist: the jade hairpin Shen had pawned to pay for medicine was tied to an unparalleled secret from a thousand years ago!
Once the passage between the two worlds was fully secured, the regent crossed the void to find her.
He pinned her beside the hot spring pool, his voice husky. “You stole my heart. Where do you think you're running?”
