The pavilion, named Mingyue Pavilion, is located in the eastern corner of the backyard of the Yi family mansion. It has two floors; the second floor contains the boudoir, while the first floor houses the study and living room, all exuding a distinctly antique charm.

In the center of the courtyard is a small pond, where delicate lotus flowers are in bloom, and clusters of red carp chase and play freely, adding a touch of liveliness to the otherwise quiet courtyard and preventing it from feeling too desolate.

Looking up, he saw a clear night sky with gentle breezes, a bright moon, and twinkling stars, which perfectly suited the scene. Yi Shangyun thought to himself.

She habitually touched the gold and jade bracelet on her wrist; it was truly her good fortune that the bracelet had come with her.

This bracelet was a gift from Wei Mingxuan. Although he had been missing for so many years, this bracelet always brought her some warmth during her loneliest moments.

Six months ago, the group collaborated with foreign scientists to develop and implant a medical chip, aiming to make the group omnipotent in the entire pharmaceutical industry.

I just don't know if the system is working properly now, or if it will lose all its functions once it comes to this world.

"That...that wall...isn't that..."

Suddenly, her gaze fell on a wall on the east side of Mingyue Pavilion and she exclaimed in surprise.

Yun was all too familiar with this wall covering. It had appeared countless times in her dreams during the 21st century, and it looked so much like this wall now—almost identical. No, she was certain it was this very wall from her dreams. She could hardly distinguish whether what was happening before her was a dream or reality.

Every time I dream of this wall, it's raining heavily, and a woman stands quietly alone facing it; I can't see her face.

But she always had a strong feeling that the person standing in front of this wall in her dreams was herself, and today she was even more certain of this intuition.

She doesn't usually like period dramas, so why does she always have these kinds of dreams?

Unable to resist, Yi Shangyun reached out her slender, jade-like hand to touch the wall...

Yes, that's it. It's exactly the same as in my dream. This is the place in my dream, and this is the wall just like this.

"Miss, what are you doing here so late?" Yan'er hurriedly came over to Yi Shangyun with a pinkish-purple cloak and quickly helped her put it on.

"Miss, it's late, be careful not to catch a cold," Yi Shangyun finally came to her senses.

Yan'er gave her some concerned instructions while helping her to sit down at the stone table.

Yan'er continued, "Miss, you don't know yet, do you? A month ago, Young Master Lu of Xiqin Academy personally came to your residence to annul your engagement."

"Betrayal?" Yi Shangyun was clearly taken aback by the bad luck he encountered so soon after transmigrating.

"Yes, Young Master Lu said that the whole capital knows you are ugly, ignorant, and now you are bedridden and unconscious. He said that the Yi family is trying to deceive the Xi Qin Academy."

Yan'er looked up at Yi Shangyun, who was deep in thought with an unreadable expression. Yan'er continued.

"You make it sound so noble, but who in the capital doesn't know that Young Master Lu has climbed the social ladder by marrying the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family?" Yan'er said indignantly, her face turning red with anger.

Yi Shangyun, however, remained calm and indifferent, as if she were listening to someone else's story, which had nothing to do with her.

How could someone from the 21st century care about such an arranged marriage? Listening to what this young master Lu is saying, he knows he already has a pre-existing marriage, yet he still shamelessly does these immoral things behind the scenes. He's like a thief crying "stop thief!" The real person is probably no better.

Moreover, she didn't know how long she would stay in the Western Qin Kingdom, or if she would suddenly travel back in a few days. Her Wei Mingxuan was still in the 21st century!

Now she can only live one day at a time. It would be better if the engagement was annulled, at least she could continue to have a place to stay in the mansion that the original owner had been used to since childhood. This seems to be the best choice for her.

In this ancient era, where could she go after leaving the Yi family mansion, and how could she find a place to settle down?

Yes, since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. I'll face whatever comes my way; I have to survive. Only by surviving can endless possibilities unfold. At the very least, I can't let this body of the original owner go to waste. I must find a way to survive here, Yi Shangyun thought to herself.

"What time is it now?" Yi Shangyun suddenly asked Yan'er.

"It's almost midnight, Miss. Were you listening to what I just said?" Yan'er asked anxiously.

"Yes, annuling the engagement is just what I wanted."

After saying that, Yi Shangyun got up and went into the pavilion. Yan'er was stunned when she heard what Yi Shangyun said and immediately showed a look of astonishment.

"Did you even understand what I said, Miss? It suits me just the way I wanted it... Doesn't Miss know that it is a great disgrace for a woman to be rejected in marriage? She will never be able to get married for the rest of her life, and even the Yi family will be pointed at and talked about."

She murmured softly, wanting to confirm once again whether the young lady had truly listened to what she said.

Before she could even react, Yi Shangyun had already vanished without a trace into the pitch-black night.

Helpless, Yan'er sighed, shook her head, and could only turn around and go back to her room. Was her young mistress really unconscious and stupid?

Inside the Mingyue Pavilion, Yi Shangyun sat in front of the bronze mirror on the dressing table, carefully examining her face, which appeared soft and pure in the candlelight.

I just realized that this face is actually quite similar to her face in the 21st century, except that she was much older in the 21st century.

In the bronze mirror, she immediately saw a very clear and regular round pink lumps next to her right eye. She knew at a glance that this was not the incurable birthmark that Yan'er had mentioned, but just a very ordinary hemangioma.

There are countless treatment options available in the 21st century, especially for just one of the most common types of hemangiomas.

Upon closer inspection, if it weren't for this hemangioma, the original owner would truly be considered a beautiful young lady from a prominent family, with skin as smooth as jade, delicate and exquisite, capable of captivating a nation.

However, in this era, he was ridiculed and mocked by the world because of this, and the original owner actually endured so many years of humiliation and bullying because of it. What a pitiful person he was.

Now that she's been jilted, in this ancient era, she'll probably spend the rest of her life alone.

"Don't worry, it's good that I'm here. And it's precisely because I'm here that, as a reward for taking your body, I will definitely help you restore your stunning beauty. If you return one day in the future, I will surely give you a perfect husband, and we will be bound by our vows of life and death, hand in hand, growing old together."

After confidently delivering those words, Yi Shangyun felt full of energy. She got up, changed into a black night outfit, put on a white veil to cover the tumor on her face, and quietly slipped out through the back door of the courtyard.

As soon as he stepped outside, he headed straight for the valley not far to the northeast, and his slender figure quickly disappeared into the dark night fog...
