“Mr. Zhou…” her voice was a little hoarse, “How do you know these things?”

Zhou Shi'an smiled, took out a yellowed booklet from his pocket, and pushed it in front of her.

"These are handwritten notes left by my ancestors, which record some...unknown secrets."

Lin Wanqing opened the booklet, and the first page read: "Empress Lin Jia, suspected to be from another world, was proficient in strange arts, and later fell into a deep sleep due to the exhaustion of her spiritual power."

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

“These bracelets were brought from the palace by my ancestors,” Zhou Shi’an said softly. “They have been waiting for their true owner.”

Lin Wanqing looked up at him: "You...believe me?"

Zhou Shi'an smiled and said, "Miss Lin, there are some things in this world that science cannot explain, but that doesn't mean they don't exist."

He pushed the bracelet in front of her: "Returning it to its rightful owner."

Lin Wanqing's hands trembled as she gently stroked the jade bracelet.

The moment her fingertips touched the bracelet, a faint green light flashed, and the bracelet automatically slipped onto her wrist!

Zhou Shi'an's pupils contracted, but he quickly regained his composure.

“As expected…” he whispered, “They recognize you.”

Lin Wanqing looked down at the bracelet on her wrist, and in a daze, she seemed to hear a familiar voice—

"Yun'er, I'm waiting for you to come back."

In her dream, she stood in the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City, and Emperor Yongzheng stood not far away, looking at her tenderly.

"Your Majesty..." she called softly.

Yongzheng reached out his hand to her: "Yun'er, it's time to wake up."

Lin Wanqing suddenly opened her eyes and found herself still lying in a modern apartment, but the jade bracelet on her wrist was emitting a faint halo.

Gradually, the halo grew stronger until it became intensely blinding...

In an instant, the world spun around...
