Mu Tian first met Jiang Bai in a dark alley in Y Country, where a stray bullet nearly grazed her ear.
A man was curled up in a corner where he was hiding. He was refined and noble-looking, his face filled with pain he was trying to suppress.
Mu Tian should have left him alone, but instead she took him home.
That familiar family crest... Wasn't it the female lead's golden ticket in the book?
But then...
The man had amnesia.
Mu Tian sighed and heated up the leftovers from the kitchen. She thought he would turn his nose up at them, but he ate every last bite.
Mu Tian: My conscience hurts a little.
Fine, he was just a man. It wasn't like she couldn't afford to keep him! She'd just treat him like a pretty ornament.
Until one day, Mu Tian accidentally saw Jiang Bai push someone into the river, a cruel, dazzling smile on his lips. That night, she had a nightmare.
Mom, it's too dangerous abroad. I want to go home!
Just as she was planning to escape Jiang Bai, she opened her eyes to find herself lying on a huge bed. The man before her was elegant and aristocratic, holding a wineglass in his long, pale hand.
Apparently not expecting Mu Tian to wake so soon, Jiang Bai swallowed his wine, his Adam's apple bobbing. His voice was hoarse. "You can't escape, darling~"
Her gaze followed the trickle of wine downward... Faced with such beauty, Mu Tian shamelessly found herself tempted. She clamped a hand over Jiang Bai's mouth. "Weren't we going to get down to business? Let's do it! Hurry up, I have to be at work by eight tomorrow morning!"
[Bonus Scene]
Word spread that the Weierhuode family had a new duke. To test the waters, other families sent over several beauties.
The day the beauties arrived, the manor's servants hardly dared to breathe, worried that the duchess would make a scene. But Mu Tian didn't react at all. The duke himself was the one who darkened his expression.
That night, Mu Tian was pressed against the study desk, breathing hard, her cheeks flushed. The faint purple veins at her temples stood out clearly.
The man leaned close in front of her, his voice low and husky as he breathed hot air behind her ear. "Baby, tell me you love me~"
Upcoming Story: Your Highness from the Past, You've Arrived in the Present
The State of Wei had fallen. Princess Wei Zhaoxi fought her way out with a sword, but when her army was defeated, she died for her country.
When she opened her eyes again, Wei Zhaoxi had become a high school student in Huaxia.
Here, there was no emperor, and girls had to go to school too. Wei Zhaoxi took it in stride, deciding that since she was here, she might as well settle in, and threw herself into this new world.
In her second year of high school, a strange transfer student joined her class.
They said he was mentally ill, always imagining he was an ancient bodyguard, and that he sometimes hit people.
Wei Zhaoxi kept her distance.
But the transfer student fixed his attention on her and followed her every day, calling her, "Your Highness, Princess."
No one knew that another version of himself lived in Su Beishuo's memories: the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, his hands stained with blood, living only for one person.
He had been treated as a madman, abandoned, and left at this unfamiliar school.
He had long since stopped believing there was any light in the world.
Until he met Wei Zhaoxi.
The young man, whose life had been dim for so long, had finally found his princess.
