Bamboo Pipes

Before Zhu Sheng passed away, she gently touched two photographs. One showed Rong Huang's peerlessly handsome face; the other showed him gaunt and bony.

Twenty-two years ago, when Rong Huang was leaving, he smiled and told her, "I'll wait for you at the Nai River Bridge. When you get there, you'll see how handsome I am."

Zhu Sheng had waited a long time. She saw the peerlessly handsome Rong Huang again, but not at the Nai River Bridge. It was when she returned to the age of seventeen. The first thing Rong Huang said when he saw her was, "Hey, this little brat's pretty impressive!"

Little brat?

Zhu Sheng looked at Rong Huang's bold, confident face. He had none of the haggardness, exhaustion, sickliness, gentleness, or composure of the man she had first met in her previous life. They were two completely different people. She gritted her teeth. Her hands were itching to beat him up!

After living a second life, Zhu Sheng discovered that the people who had died in a covert battle in her previous life were alive, and those who had been injured were now whole. Her life had gone from hard mode to easy mode. She decided this was Heaven's compensation for all the years she'd spent working tirelessly for her country in her previous life, and resolved to enjoy life this time around.

The characters in this story are connected to those in The Interstellar Pharmacist in the 1970s, but this story can be read on its own.
