Wen Jin transmigrated, only to find herself getting the full package: kidnapped, sold, and made a maid.
Luckily, she discovered she could leave her body and switch into another one. The original owner of that body was blind, beautiful, and highborn, so everyone treated her with extra kindness. Wen Jin took advantage of that, acting spoiled and doing whatever she pleased to make up for all the hardships she suffered in her main body.
Just as she settled into a routine of slacking off in her main body and enjoying the good life in her alternate one, a melodramatic tale of abuse and mistaken identity struck her in the main body. She slapped her cold, domineering master across the face, and it felt fantastic! But when she returned to her alternate body to savor the memory, she realized something was wrong.
She... her blind alternate self could see!
Overjoyed, Wen Jin jumped barefoot out of bed and rushed to the bronze mirror, eager to see what she looked like.
One glance, and she sank to the floor, her face turning green.
Wait, why did she look exactly like the guy she'd just slapped?
Three years ago, when his country fell and his family was destroyed, Xiao Jue went from a member of the imperial clan to a prisoner overnight. Shackled and reduced from heaven's favored son to a bedmate, he refused to endure the humiliation. He broke free of his chains and killed himself by smashing his head against a pillar.
When he regained consciousness, he discovered a woman's soul had taken up residence in his body, chattering incessantly.
He had lost all will to live. Letting her use his body wasn't a big deal, but she called him a coward who only knew how to run away. She even declared she would use his body to escape, seize the throne, marry a harem of consorts, and have children and grandchildren without end.
That made him furious. He wanted to see what world-shaking things she could actually accomplish with his body.
He watched her feign compliance as she dealt with the enemy. He watched her come up with one clever scheme after another and finally escape to freedom. He watched her reunite with his former subordinates...
He thought they would always stay together like that. But then her soul abruptly left his body.
No. He didn't want her to leave!
Her ethereal, gentle voice came to him: "The whole realm lies beneath your feet. Keep going. I'll be waiting for you in the future."
The future?
Xiao Jue didn't understand what she meant, but he survived, and he couldn't stop longing and yearning for her.
He searched for her constantly, until three years later, when he met a maid with the same voice and the same face as that woman.
He thought at last, he had waited for her.
◆ He waits in the present for a promise. ◆
◆ She returns to the past to turn around a lost game. ◆
Reader's Guide:
1. The heroine has two bodies and can switch between them at will. The alternate body's timeline is three years earlier than the main body's, though the heroine doesn't know this at first.
2. This isn't a story about falling in love with oneself. The leads are mutually devoted, with a happy ending, though there is angst along the way.
3. Both leads are each other's first; one-on-one romance.
Below is the blurb for my upcoming story, The Tyrant's Handbook to Being Tamed. If you're interested, please take a moment to add it to your favorites. Thank you so much!
Lin Chuhe had terminal cancer when the System offered her a chance to survive: win over Helian Chi, a bloodthirsty tyrant, and she would be cured.
Desperate enough to try anything, she gave it a shot. But she died three times while trying to win him over.
When she opened her eyes for the fourth time, she was an enemy empress who had disguised herself as a man, only to have her identity exposed and find herself besieged on all sides.
If she was going to die either way, to hell with the mission!
She gathered the last of her military power and marched north. Even if it meant mutual destruction, she would drag that arrogant tyrant from his throne and make him pay back every debt from her three previous lives, with interest.
At last, she caught him off guard, outsmarted the defenders, and took the city. With Helian Chi her prisoner, she beat him with her fists and feet and subjected him to cruel torture.
Yet he clutched his arm, which she had dislocated, spat blood, and laughed, his voice hoarse. "Be rougher. I like it."
Lin Chuhe: ?
Lin Chuhe: Tears of joy.
So all her gentle words and careful consideration in her first three lives had been wasted on him!
But before she could figure out how to use this "new method" of winning him over, rebellion erupted, and she died when her country fell.
Her quota for transmigrating into other bodies was used up. The System asked if she wanted to take a gamble and try to win him over in her real body.
Lin Chuhe agreed and returned to his side in her frail, sickly body.
This time, she couldn't start over. It was win or die!
*
Everyone said Helian Chi was heartless, cruel, and merciless, a man who killed without blinking and had no weakness whatsoever.
Yet he suddenly built ten thousand shrines, each enshrining an identical faceless goddess. He traveled across the realm, earnestly paying his respects at every one.
The world thought the tyrant had finally found his conscience and was repenting for his many murders. No one knew he was only praying for that goddess to descend and come back to his side.
*
The once arrogant, bloodthirsty, cold-hearted tyrant finally grew a heart. He knelt before Buddha and repented for all the evil he had done. He offered himself to the enemy in exchange for a single medicinal pill. He traveled thousands upon thousands of miles, seeking doctors, immortals, and the help of every god and Buddha he could find.
His tears fell without end, landing on Lin Chuhe's eyes, face, and lips. She heard him beg Buddha, offering everything, even his life. He didn't ask to be absolved of his murders. He only asked for her to recover.
She heard the System's voice: "Congratulations, Host. The conditions for completing the mission have been met. Your reward will now be redeemed."
Later, with red-rimmed eyes and tears on his face, he asked whether she had ever felt even a little sincerity toward him. Lin Chuhe coldly peeled his fingers away one by one. "Never."
Theme: No matter how dire your circumstances, keep looking ahead.
When Gu Sui was killed earlier, I really wanted to kill Zhili with my own hands. When he was really killed by the heroine later, Zhili's sacrificial feelings made people feel complicated. I can't even describe how this feels.
If you can't take it anymore, just resign and take a break. Nothing is as important as your health and happiness. Don't suppress yourself and scold your boss A too much. You can still look for another job after resigning. I stayed in the previous jobs for more than a year and then left. It's normal to have a window period. I only lasted for a month in my last job. The atmosphere was too depressing and it had a great impact on me. I didn't include this job in my resume when I looked for a job again. The window period also lasted four or five months. It's okay. Always remember that you are the best. Those who make you suffer don't care about your feelings. What do you care about them? Your boss won't pay you a salary. No matter how bad you do, you will be fired. What's the point? If you don't want to resign, just ask your boss to make trouble. Let your boss coordinate with you and reduce your pressure. Don't force yourself. Your current mental state is too dangerous. It's just a job. You can't make money. Nothing is more important than yourself.
Hug the author, your body is the most important, not to mention the renewal is really secondary. Don't be too guilty or have too much burden on your heart! In fact, for me, catching up on updates is also a very happy thing, just like a candy that is given out from time to time in life~ Work is not as important as your body in any case. If you really feel that you can't persist, then give yourself a holiday, rest for a while, and do something you liked before. I think other people's suggestions are just other people's opinions after all. Only you know your own situation best, so why not just follow your inner thoughts and give yourself a holiday~ Come on, come on, I believe you will get better! We are all still young, and the future will definitely be bright [Bixin]
Madam, when you are tired from work, remember to take proper rest and don't push yourself too hard. Your health is the most important thing. I always believe that people who can write such vivid characters have the courage and ability to face various problems in life. Just like the heroine, it doesn't matter if the text is different. We will always wait for you. Author Dada, this is really my favorite novel 🤗🤗🤗
Although cruel, perhaps it would have been better for everyone, including himself, if he had made the decision not to give birth to this child.
This ending made me scratch my head𖦹ࡇ𖦹.ᐟ.ᐟ
It has finally been updated. At this moment, I was eating. I clicked on Jinjiang as if I was feeling something. I saw the updated news. I can't express my excitement. I opened it many times and was worried about the author's mental state. Now it seems that it should be much better. ˶╹ꇴ╹˶I'm so happy. This is the happiest day for me this month (*´꒳`*) The author must be happy every day!
After reading what the author has to say, I have something to say to the author: It is just a job, and life is a long road. Work is just a tool for making a living. You should take it seriously but don't take it too seriously. If you encounter bad people, such as unscrupulous parties and ruthless bosses, don't pay attention to them, and don't let them take too many advantages. If you have a strong sense of responsibility, you will easily be taken advantage of. Put it down appropriately and slowly reduce output. Look more at the flowers in spring and the sky in autumn. Come on💪
Everything is possible only if you stay alive. Anyway, if you are tired, take a break.
Madam, you must not be too responsible at work. Calm down. Take good care of yourself
