Reborn: Tales of the Floating Dust Era

A courtesan from ancient times is reincarnated in the modern world, but unfortunately carries some of his former body's traits with him. He sinks in despair through the darkness until he meets them. Conquered and redeemed.

From this moment on, I will hate everyone surnamed Hao with an endless, unrelenting hatred. Xianyou, I know you're innocent, but how am I any less innocent?

I stood on the overpass, letting the evening wind blow over me for more than an hour, and finally figured a lot of things out. I spent a few weeks pretending to be a college student, but in the end, I still have to go back to my old line of work.

I stood in the dim underground passage, looking for customers. This body won't turn twenty for another month or so. I saw four or five heavily made-up women in their thirties and forties sneaking glances at me. True, people my age can sell themselves in more respectable places, like private clubs. This place is the territory of those who are past their prime. But in my current situation, how could I dare go somewhere without Xiao Chao backing me up? I have to know my place, or they'll drive me out for good.

I waited a long time, but no one came to me. A few men did show up, but they went to the women over there. My body really was getting weaker and weaker. Winter hadn't even arrived, and I already felt chilled to the bone.

A drunk man in his forties staggered over toward me. He must have been drinking beer all night. As he walked, he belched.

"How much for one go?"

"Three hundred," the fat woman next to me said.

"Damn it, can't you go lower?"

"I'll do it for two hundred," I blurted out.

Without Xiao Chao, I suddenly felt like I had no one to lean on. I had even forgotten how to smile seductively or move with abandon. I was clumsy and stiff. He pinched my butt twice, then patted it. "Not bad. Come with me and have some fun."

"That little bastard, stealing my business. What a shameless slut. He'd probably agree to three times for a dollar. Desperate for money."

I ignored the women's curses and let the drunk man put his arm around my waist and lead me away.
