"This guy can have babies? Am I getting old and my eyesight is failing me?"
I froze, looking at the clothes on my body—men's clothing. There was a pool in front of me, and I looked at my reflection. It was definitely Ji Ying's face, but she looked young, probably around fifteen years old.
"What... what's going on here?"
I touched my face, wondering if I had somehow traveled back to when Ji Ying was fifteen. What about Xie Yuancheng and the child?
Ah~
"Wow, buddy, your voice is so loud, it's going to ruin my ears."
I grabbed the shopkeeper's sleeve: "Shopkeeper, what's wrong with me? Could it be that I've traveled back to when Ji Ying was fifteen years old again? No way! I finally managed to get married to Xie Yuancheng, and we even had a child."
The shopkeeper patted my head: "This young man is exceptionally gifted; he can actually have children."
I slapped his hand away and ripped off my headband: "I'm not a guy, I'm a woman, look carefully."
"It really is true." The shopkeeper's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
"What a coincidence! I need a lady's help. This lady, uh, if you help me, I'll give you a perfect husband."
"I don't want to. I already have Xie Yuancheng. I don't want anyone else."
Xie Yuancheng is such a good person, I don't want to be with anyone else, just thinking about it makes me shudder.
"Xie Yuancheng, young lady, this is the person you like."
I nodded quickly: "Yes, I married him when I was eighteen and had a child."
The shopkeeper touched my forehead: "This girl is talking nonsense in broad daylight. Alright, whether you're stupid or not, since you like Xie Yuancheng, I'll let you marry him when you turn eighteen after you help me out."
I was stunned. Could this be the wish Ji Ying made when she was fifteen years old, which is why the shopkeeper handed her a note outside the bridal sedan chair?
"Manager, don't you recognize me?"
“I didn’t know you before, but now I do. Your name is Ji Ying. Give me your hand so I can see your birth chart.”
I handed him my hand, completely bewildered. What's going on? Can anyone tell me?
“That’s right, your birth dates match. I’m the one who manages time and space. I accidentally injured a girl living in 2020. Your birth dates are compatible, so you can pretend to be her for three years. After three years, I will send you back.”
"2020?"
"Yes, that place and this place are not in the same space, but they can be merged. Girl, please help me, and I'll let you and Xie Yuancheng go together."
"What's that girl's name?"
"Ji Shuang, it just so happens that we share the same surname. It seems like fate."
My name is Ji Shuangcai, how did it become Ji Ying?
At that moment, I felt dizzy. When I woke up again, I was standing on a street corner. As soon as I turned my head, I saw Xie Yuancheng and Meng Anshi walking on the street.
He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an innocent face. Although his features weren't as outstanding as they are now, you could already tell he was a handsome young man.
Could it be that I really traveled back to when Ji Ying was fifteen years old?
“Young lady, this is Xie Yuancheng, the Marquis of Anle in Dazhao. You have excellent taste; he is the dream husband of many unmarried girls in Dazhao. Fortunately, your marriage was arranged long ago. I will secretly help you.”
I was dumbfounded. I shook the shopkeeper's shoulder and said, "Shopkeeper, what's going on? I'm completely confused."
The more I looked at the shopkeeper's ambiguous smile, the more blurred it became.
The scene changed again, and I became a consciousness, floating above the Ji residence, looking down.
"Ugh, I dropped my sword again."
“Young master, I have already had a craftsman make you a new one called the Phantom Sword, which is even better than this one.”
"real?"
"I'm not kidding you. Our Ji family has been military families for generations. Although your swordsmanship is unique, you have inherited one-third of the master's true skills."
"Quickly bring me a wooden sword, I want to practice swordsmanship."
As I floated down, I saw the young master's face from the front; it was Ji Ying!
My head is spinning! How come I'm switching between being her and a consciousness? Shopkeeper, come out here! I promise I won't kill you.
"Young master, the wooden sword has arrived."
Ji Ying brandished the wooden sword, and I realized that she was very good at swordsmanship. But when I put myself in her body, I couldn't do it at all.
"Young master, you danced beautifully."
"Come at me all at once, and let's see if I can defeat you."
I saw more than a dozen servants rush forward, but Ji Ying managed to deflect them all. She's only a teenager, yet her swordsmanship is so amazing; Li Zhaole definitely couldn't beat her.
"Ying'er, you're messing around with the servants again."
"Mom, I didn't. Look, they lost just now. When I grow up, I can go to the battlefield with Dad."
“You, when your father was alive, you never spoke to him, but as soon as he left, you started praising him.”
"Mom, Dad is too fierce, I don't dare to."
I now think the only thing she has in common with Ji Ying is her ability to act cute; she manages to completely win over Ji's mother.
"Alright, you may all leave. I need to speak with the young master."
"yes."
I stood to the side listening to their conversation, which was nothing more than trivial family matters. Later, Ji's mother mentioned Xie Yuancheng.
"Mother, is his swordsmanship very good?"
"Yes, although Yuan Cheng is in Linyang, many people in the capital know his reputation. He even stayed at our house when he was a child, don't you remember?"
"Pah, I don't want to know him. His swordsmanship is so amazing, I'll be outmatched. No way, I need to practice hard and challenge him to a duel later."
Ji Ying ran off with the wooden sword. Her mother shook her head behind her, still looking like a loving mother. I almost wanted to call her "Mom" when I saw her.
I followed her to the backyard and there she saw the big banyan tree again. Ji Ying was practicing her sword under the tree. When she got tired, she threw down her sword and lay down to rest under the tree.
Her face was flushed and pink; I wanted to reach out and grab a handful.
"Young man," came the shopkeeper's voice again.
"Who are you, daring to trespass into the Ji residence?"
"Brother, I need your help with something."
"Do you know swordsmanship? If you can beat me, I'll help you."
"No, but I can do magic tricks."
"Let's see how it changes."
The shopkeeper actually conjured up a lot of illusions, which amused Ji Ying so much that she laughed out loud: "You're quite an interesting person. If you can conjure up Xie Yuancheng to fight me, I'll help you."
"Xie Yuancheng?"
"My mother says he's a very skilled swordsman, and I want to challenge him to a duel."
"Um, do you know who he is, like his birth date and time?"
"How would I know any of that? I only heard from my mother that he lived in Linyang and was very famous in the capital."
"Let me calculate." The shopkeeper raised his hand and began to calculate, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Young man, he is your husband, your marriage was arranged long ago."
"Pah, you old charlatan! You're the one who's destined for him. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how powerful I am."
