Su Tang's voice was very soft, with a hint of etherealness.

"My true soul comes from the future, from... the 22nd century."

"It might be another parallel universe, different from this world."

She didn't know how to explain the transmigration into the book to Qin Ye.

She could feel Qin Ye tighten his grip on her arm.

Although Qin Ye had long felt that Su Tang was different from others, he still found it somewhat unbelievable to hear this.

Su Tang mustered her courage and continued:

"In my previous life, in the 22nd century, I was a secret agent and a doctor."

"A secret organization affiliated with the national military. Because I was an orphan, I was adopted by the country from a young age and underwent all kinds of rigorous training, including combat, firearms, demolition, intelligence... I thought I would serve the country until I sacrificed myself or retired."

"But during a mission, on the border, I... sacrificed my life."

Su Tang's voice lowered, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.

"When I regained consciousness, I had become Su Tang, and my soul had transmigrated to this era and into this body."

She blurted out her biggest secret in one breath.

After saying that, she breathed a sigh of relief, but was also somewhat uneasy as she waited for Qin Ye's reaction.

Will he believe it?

Qin Ye remained silent for a long time.

Su Tang's heart was in her throat for so long.

"So," Qin Ye finally spoke, his voice low, "all those things you conjured out of thin air before, and... your unparalleled marksmanship and medical skills, were all because of this?"

"Mmm," Su Tang replied softly.

"So...did you have a good time...back in the 22nd century?"

Qin Ye asked a question that Su Tang had never expected.

Su Tang was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes welled up with tears.

No one ever... cared whether she was doing well or not...

Besides Linxi.

Her best friend is a female agent who grew up with her and is also an orphan.

During a mission where the two of them worked together.

When Lin Xi sacrificed herself in front of her, and she was powerless to do anything about it, Su Tang's emotions completely collapsed.

She thought, if only she knew how to give first aid, if only she were a doctor, but she wasn't...

From then on, she blamed herself for everything, which became an obsession.

She devoted herself wholeheartedly to studying medicine to the point of obsession, all in the hope of becoming a professional doctor to make up for what she owed Lin Xi.

As she recounted the past, she broke down in tears, her whole body trembling.

"I watched helplessly as she was turned into a bloody mess in front of me... and there was nothing I could do..."

"I don't want to lose anymore... I don't want to lose the people I care about anymore!"

"Qin Ye, you can't leave me! Promise me you'll never leave me!"

She clutched Qin Ye's clothes incoherently, like a drowning person grasping at a last straw.

Qin Ye held her tightly, letting her tears soak his shirt.

His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and he was in excruciating pain.

"Tangtang, don't be afraid, I'm here. I won't leave you."

His voice was full of power, as if it could dispel all gloom.

"I can't imagine how hard you've been through, but I'll always be by your side from now on."

"No matter who you are or where you come from, you are my wife, Qin Ye's wife, and the person I will cherish for the rest of my life."

Su Tang raised her teary eyes and looked at him.

Don't you think... I'm scary?
