Lizhi never took this fate that was right in front of her seriously.

Until this moment, she looked through his eyes and saw the deepest part of his heart, where there lived a person who loved her very much and was gazing at her affectionately.

Slowly, it seems that memories that were accidentally forgotten are coming back.

Li Zhi murmured to him: "Have we met before?"

"Zhizhi, have you finally... remembered me?" A rose-like smile bloomed in Teng Qingdu's eyes.

Through his eyes, Riori once again recalled the time when she was eleven years old.

She met him.

…

Water, water came pouring in like a flood.

The sound flooded Li Zhi's ears, nose, and eyes. She made a gurgling sound and could only shout out unclearly: "Help, help...help..."

She was pushed off the cruise ship.

The sea water was icy cold, and the foam that surged up when it hit her drowned her. Gradually, she was frozen to the point that she almost had no strength to struggle.

In the increasingly blurred vision, all I could see was the huge royal cruise ship moving further and further away.

Death was getting closer and closer to her, and she could feel her body slowly sinking.

She is dying...

Fear and terror, intertwined.

But she could do nothing.

Everything around her was dark blue. She tried hard to open her eyes and struggled, but in the end it was all in vain.

She didn't know how long it had been, but her consciousness was already fading.

In her blurry vision, she saw a large white fish swimming towards her. Despair enveloped her completely. Was it a shark? She would be eaten by it...

After an unknown amount of time, she finally emerged from the water.

In her blurred vision, a huge cruise ship appeared, even larger than her royal cruise ship.

Someone was shouting on the cruise ship.

Someone was lowering a boat.

There was also a man in a black robe standing at the front of the deck, looking at her.

That person had a pair of purple-gold eyes, extremely beautiful.

The only thing Li Zhi remembered was those purple-gold eyes.

When she woke up again and opened her eyes, she saw luxurious and elegant decorations all around.

"Where is this?"

Lizhi's voice was hoarse as if it had been burned by fire, and it didn't sound like her own voice.

A maid came in and said, "You're awake."

Lizhi saw the servant coming in. His clothes and appearance were different from those of the servants in the royal family of Simantu.

The maid helped her up and Riori looked around.

She silently followed the servant's instructions, washed up, and put on...a maid skirt?

Seeing the maid skirt, Lizhi threw it away and said, "I won't wear this!"

The maid picked up her skirt and said, "You were picked up. If the master hadn't ordered someone to rescue you, you would have been fed to sharks. From now on, you must learn etiquette from me and serve the master."

"Saving me means I have to be a maid? I have to serve the so-called head of the family?"

Eleven-year-old Riori is fully aware of the importance of her identity and status.

How could she, the daughter of a noble prince, be reduced to being a maid?

Lizhi wanted to go out, but was stopped by the maid, so she made a big fuss. The maid couldn't do anything about Lizhi, so she went out, locked the door, and reported to the master of the house.

The main door was locked and Li Zhi couldn't get out, but she was unwilling to give in.

She escaped through the window.

But she didn't expect that when the window was opened, a sea breeze blew in, and below was the rolling sea with waves beating hard, which made people feel scared.

Li Zhi: “…”
