At Death's Door, I Finally Want to Live

Bai Lan never believed in avoiding unlucky words, until one day she really did curse herself to death...

One moment she was cursing the heavens and saying she didn't want to live, and the next she suffered a sudden stroke and died.

Bai Lan: I've learned my lesson.

There was still a way out. Fortunately, just as she was about to die, her desire to live blazed so brightly that the heavens gave her another chance to open her eyes, reborn.

But her soul didn't return to her original body. Instead, it entered the body of a plump young woman named Mo Bailan, who had lived a thousand years ago.

She'd heard that their birth charts were similar and that the woman came from a prominent family, so Bai Lan gladly accepted her new life of privilege.

But she'd barely had two days to adjust when she learned she was about to get married.

Bai Lan: Fear of marriage and childbirth is written into my genes... but disobeying an imperial decree means losing my head.

Faith is precious, but life is worth more.

One didn't want to marry, and the other didn't want to take a wife.

Amid the joyful celebrations, only the newlyweds sat sorrowfully in their bridal chamber.

The silence was so deep it could freeze. Bai Lan tried to start a conversation. "Shall we tell riddles?"

Jing Feng was confused, but obediently said, "Whatever you say, Sister."

Bai Lan: "Do you know why peerless masters all die in the scripture library?"

Jing Feng: "Because there are hidden weapons in the library?"

Bai Lan shook her head mysteriously. "No! Because they have a phobia of dense books."

Jing Feng: "?"

That one seemed to be above his level, so Bai Lan asked another. "Cats go meow, ducks go quack, sheep go baa. What sound does a chicken make?"

Jing Feng: "Cluck-cluck?"

Bai Lan smiled confidently. "Opportunity goes to those who are prepared!"

Jing Feng: "!" He seemed to get it.

In the third round, Jing Feng struck first. "Sister, do you know why sheep can't sleep after they've been shorn?"

Bai Lan: "Uh... because they're too ugly to fall asleep?"

Jing Feng waved his hand proudly. "No, because they've lost their wool!"

Bai Lan gazed at him with stars in her eyes. "My husband is amazing!"

Even people from ancient times could be calmly crazy online!

Jing Feng lowered his eyes, his face red with embarrassment.

Outside the room...

The maids were nearly frozen stiff by their cold jokes.
