Chapter 1 She's still alive!



Shang Guo. Nancheng.

"ah--"

"ah--"

Chen Siyuan let out a heart-wrenching scream, her hand instinctively clutching her chest.

"Young Miss...Young Miss, you're awake?" the maid Chunlan called out nervously and excitedly.

Chunping, who had been away for a while, came in from outside carrying a bowl of porridge. Hearing the noise, she didn't even notice the porridge falling to the ground with a crisp sound. She ran over to Chen Siyuan and said, "Miss, you're finally awake?"

The familiar voice made Chen Siyuan open her eyes. Looking at the two familiar people in front of her, she cried and then laughed.

She died.

He finally died.

Because of her own blindness and inability to distinguish right from wrong, she caused the deaths of those who cared about her. After being falsely accused of writing letters to the prince of Chen, no one could shield her from all the blame, and she finally died.

"Young Miss, are you alright?"

"Young Miss, please don't scare this servant!"

The two maids saw that the young lady was both crying and laughing, and they knew that this would be a terrible thing for anyone.

They were worried that the young lady might do something rash.

When Chen Siyuan heard the familiar voices in front of her, she wanted to confess to them, but after seeing their faces clearly, she couldn't bring herself to speak.

"Young Miss, please don't do anything rash!"

"It's not Miss's fault, it's all those people making things up. Please don't take it to heart, Miss."

A familiar voice, a familiar face.

"Chunlan? Chunping?" She looked at the two maids in disbelief; they looked much younger now.

"Young Miss—"

"Young Miss—"

After this incident, the two maids didn't know what to do and could only hope that the young lady wouldn't do anything rash.

Chen Siyuan looked at the two maids, then at her surroundings. The room was ornately decorated, with a bed inlaid with beads, a wardrobe by the window, a bookshelf, and a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) nearby.

Guqin?

The guqin was burned in that fire, how could it still be... Thinking of this, Chen Siyuan's body went limp, and she almost couldn't support herself.

Chunlan and Chunping quickly helped her up.

"Young Miss—"

What year is it now?

Chunlan and Chunping were startled by the young lady's words. The young lady had gone to the outskirts to pray for blessings today. Not long after leaving the city gate, her horse got frightened and galloped away like a madman. The two girls who were following behind were left far behind. By the time they caught up, the carriage had already rolled down the mountain. It was Song Ji who, disregarding the danger, rescued the unconscious young lady and then carried her all the way back to the mansion on horseback.

Now the young lady's life is saved, but her reputation is ruined.

"Tell me quickly!" Chen Siyuan stared intently at Chunlan.

Upon seeing this scene, Chunping steeled her resolve and said, "Miss, it is now the thirteenth year of the Dezheng era."

"The thirteenth year of Dezheng?" Chen Siyuan murmured to himself.

Looking at Chunlan and Chunping in front of him, it was as if all his strength had been suddenly drained away, and his body fell straight backward.

"Young Miss—"

"Young Miss—"

Chunlan and Chunping were frightened by the young lady's appearance. Chunlan stayed by her side, while Chunping scrambled to find a doctor.

At this moment, Chen Siyuan opened her eyes and stared straight ahead. Many figures were moving around her, and many familiar voices were in her ears. After a long time, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She's still alive!

She returned to the thirteenth year of the reign of Emperor Dezheng. Her maternal grandfather and uncles were still alive, her eldest brother was still alive, and her two maids were still alive!

After laughing enough, Chen Siyuan exclaimed, "It's so good to be alive!"

Perhaps... it's not too late for everything!

The doctor came and went, saying the same few things over and over again. Chunlan and Chunping were somewhat incredulous; judging from the young lady's appearance, she seemed to have gone mad.

After laughing enough, Chen Siyuan slowly stood up. Her heart gradually calmed down, and she looked around again. The surroundings were pitch black, which seemed to confirm the big event that was about to happen to her.

Suddenly, the door to the warm room was kicked open from the outside, and a gust of cold wind swept in. It was the height of summer, yet it was still icy cold.

Soon, Chen Zhaokun walked up to him.

He was dressed in a long black robe, was in his forties, had a dignified figure, and a handsome appearance.

"Father?" Chen Siyuan had just sat down when she saw her father, Chen Zhaokun. Before she could even get off the bed to pay her respects, she was slapped hard across the face.

Chen Siyuan felt a buzzing in her ears, as if she had been deaf for a while, and it took a long time for her condition to improve.

She looked up at her father.

Chen Zhaokun snorted coldly and angrily rebuked, "The eldest daughter of the Chen family, claiming to be going to pray for blessings, actually returned with an outsider..."

“Father—” Chen Siyuan subconsciously wanted to explain, but thinking of the reasons why her father disliked her, she felt that anything she said would be too much.

"You might as well have just died out there. What's the point of coming back?"

Chunlan and Chunping were shocked to hear this.

How could you say such a thing about Miss? Miss survived by the skin of her teeth. How could you be as heartless as those people outside?

Male companions?

Died outside?

hehe--

Her father had always been so direct, and she used to think it was because she wasn't good enough, and she was just deceiving herself.

Memories like those from a past life, like that dagger piercing my heart, record the past again and again.

Today, at Chen Xin's urging, she went to the suburbs to pray for blessings.

Chen Xin had something come up suddenly, so she went alone. Not long after leaving the city gate, the horse got spooked and galloped wildly. The carriage overturned down the mountain halfway. Song Ji happened to appear and saved her when she fainted. Later, Song Ji rode his horse to take her back to the mansion.
