At this moment, Consort Mo spoke up for me, saying, "She didn't cause me any trouble."

"Oh~" He looked at me with disbelief: "What can you do?"

My face flushed with anger at what he said, and I shouted, "Ye Lisheng! You..."

Consort Mo smiled kindly and handed me the jade bracelet from her hand.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"I don't have anything good to give you. This bracelet isn't anything rare, but it's been with me for many years!"

"This is terrible..."

I was about to refuse, but Ye Lisheng suddenly said, "Just accept it!"

In just half an incense stick's time, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, leaving a trail of footprints wherever one walked.

Along the way, I muttered to myself, "This bracelet looks very old!"

Seeing that I was still playing with the bracelet, Ye Lisheng said, "That bracelet was passed down from my maternal grandmother to my mother!"

I was so startled I almost gave the bracelet back to him.

"This bracelet must be very meaningful. I should return it sometime!"

"This bracelet will only be passed down to my queen!"

That was like stepping on a curious cat's tail; I immediately exploded and asked, "Is it true?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Lisheng said abruptly, "I also think this bracelet is of great significance. It's not suitable for you to wear. You should return it to your mother another day!"

As he reached for it, I swiftly grabbed it and slipped the bracelet onto his wrist, proudly declaring, "It's mine now!"

A wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Once you wear it, you'll be my woman!"

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and a wooden box appeared out of nowhere in front of us.

A woman covered in blood tumbled out of the box.

Ye Lisheng's pupils narrowed slightly, a chill emanating from him. He recognized the person immediately and draped his cloak over her.

I stood frozen in fear, because my worst fears had come true—she was back!

"Take good care of her!" he said, then chased after the man in black.

Looking at the woman in front of me who looked exactly like me, I was both shocked and frightened, afraid that my dream would come true.

Ye Lisheng blocked the man's path, emanating a chilling aura, and asked, "Who are you, and why did you kidnap Murong?"

The man sneered, "Of course it's because she's so beautiful; even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman!"

Although he tried his best to cover up his accent, Ye Lisheng could still tell.

"You're not a Spirit Reveler?"

A flicker of panic crossed the man's eyes as he realized he had been exposed.

Chao Ye Lisheng fired a sneak attack and then hurriedly fled, not forgetting to taunt as he left, "Prince Anyang, we'll meet again someday!"

Ye Lisheng's brown horse galloped towards us. He glanced at me and said, "I'll take her back to heal her wounds first. You wait here for Ling Ran to come and get you!"

Watching his anxious figure leave, I felt as if a huge stone was pressing on my chest.

Just as I was lost in thought, a familiar voice rang out from behind me.

Okra!

I turned pale with fright. Why was someone calling me by my real name? I turned around and saw it was Mo Sheng. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"How could you..."

How did I know your name was Okra?

I laughed a little sheepishly and said, "This is all just me talking nonsense, don't take it seriously!"

With a serious expression and a look that was no longer as gentle as before, he asked, "Having enjoyed someone else's identity for so long, do you no longer want to go back?"

His question was like a pebble thrown into a calm pond, creating ripples on the surface.

"I almost forgot that I am not from this world, so much so that I want to spend my whole life with Ye Lisheng here!"

"I...I haven't forgotten!" I said, feeling increasingly guilty.

"The real Murong Kui has returned. A world cannot have two Murong Kuis!" He seemed to see everything clearly, like a discerning person.

Seeing that I wavered even slightly, he quickly said, "Marry me! The total solar eclipse is coming soon, and if you can't get back in time, you will suffer a great calamity if you stay here!"

"Calamity!"

"Do you know something?"

"I have no idea!"

"Heh!" I sneered, "I've heard that the Celestial Master can see what's going to happen to others. As his disciple, you must have learned some of his skills!"

Don't you want to go back?

His probing question left me somewhat bewildered.

"Yes, of course I want to go back!"

"Okay! There are still more than ten days until the total solar eclipse, so get ready!"

He disappeared into the vast expanse of white snow without giving me any chance to object or say no.

The man carefully held an oil-paper umbrella over the woman, afraid that the snow would fall on her.

Xiangye, under the umbrella, clutched a package tightly to her chest: "Young Master Yu, won't Miss be happy to see us!"

"Definitely!" he said with absolute certainty.

Suddenly he stopped walking. Xiangye asked, puzzled, "Why did you stop?"

Following his gaze, I saw myself standing blankly in the snow, my hair and clothes already covered in a layer of white snow.

"Miss!" Xiangye exclaimed excitedly.

I turned around and saw her running towards me. Overwhelmed with emotion, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

"Bamboo leaves!"

"Shaoqing!"

Yu Shaoqing frowned as he brushed the snow off me and asked, "Don't you know how to take care of yourself? What if you get sick standing in the snow all by yourself?"

This was the first time I'd ever seen him get angry. Even though he was yelling at me, it felt incredibly heartwarming to hear.

I wiped away my tears with a wronged expression: "I'm hungry!"
