"Shi'er, I know Mom is wrong. I should've told you earlier. I just.. don't want you get worried. You're too precious and fragile. You're my youngest that's why you are also stubborn.. just like your Dad."

I screamed at the phone, "You don't want me to get worried?! Then from now on, I'm not going to be your daughter!"

"Shi'er! Liu Shishi!"

I stared vacantly at nothing. Remembering my last words to Mom, I couldn't help but feel remorseful. How could I say that to Mom?

"My lady!"

Jin'er hastily ran to me with her panic-stricken face. I almost stumbled when she yanked me.. far enough from the lake. Then Jin'er proceeded her usual routine, she turned me on my left side, then on my right, inspecting my body for any visible wounds.

Back to my world, I was a person that doesn't own many things, nevertheless I studied so hard that I didn't even get a boy during college days and when I reached adulthood, I did my best to achieved everything I have. I was very contented with that simple life.

My routine: sleep, work, iQiyi.

My friends used to tell me that I have a boring life. (Well, I loved my boring life in the real world.) They would joked around with me on how my love life was basically zero. They still think that I can't moved on from my first crush in high school.

Hmp. Not really.

I just don't want any drama in life. I have two older siblings. Figures huh. They're a bit protective.. and difficult. Witnessing my devil sisters getting married but still being pampered and bullied by them and there's also my in-laws, ha.. I also thought being single forever is not that bad.

Suddenly having lost all.. Mom, my family, my friends and my boring life.

'Why did I listened to that nerdy friend? Why did I read that d*mn novel?! I swear when I get back home.. I'm going to beat her ass***. That nerd!'

Without warning, I unluckily transmigrated into a novel where here, the author had everyone at his disposal. Where only the main characters were all that matter. Where they're the only people who'll have a happy ever after.

"I'm fine." I reassured her.

Jin'er didn't believe me though. Despite being younger than me, she had a habit of nagging like a mother hen. I can't really argue with this girl.

"Don't do this again. How many times do I have to tell you my lady? Take your bodyguards with you or just Lu Kai will do. You can't keep wandering alone. It's dangerous, my lady."

I know where her unnecessary worries was coming from.

Because five years ago, when I woke up in this strange world, I was extremely afraid and I was determined to go back to my world. So desperate.. that I don't care even I'd lose my life. I don't care even I have to die here just to return to my old life.

"My lady, why do you give me the impression that as though one day, you're going to disappear? Please my lady, don't do this again. I really–" Jin'er choked her next words.

I chewed my lower lip and studied her worried expression from under my lowered lashes. "I'm sorry."

The first few months I transmigrated weren't easy for me, I can't accept the reality of myself living in this novel world.

Five years ago, I tried suicide. I was scared and helpless. I just want to go back. I cut my wrist. I jumped into the lake and I even tried to hanged myself. In the end, all failed. I was saved every time.

I sighed. I must've scared Jin'er and the whole manor.

Then one night, a voice came into my dreams; "Play your role well. Then die in Bai Suxin's death day. That's the only way you can go back to your world."

So.. I can only endure.

According to Li Cha, as decreed by the emperor, because of his meritorious deeds and bringing the empire continuous victories, Li Han was ordered to return to the capital.

If my calculation was right, by this time, Li Han had already met the female lead. He'll bring Chu Wanwan with him to Li Empire as a prisoner princess and trophy.

Chu Wanwan, rumored to be a heavenly beauty, the second princess of the Chu Empire was dragged to the strange Li Empire.

——

Spring came.

Drums were beating. Trumpets were playing. All in armors, swords and spears, these two hundred thousands of soldiers from the Nan Army and their terrifying bloodlust aura, fresh from the battlefield shook the bustling capital. These devil heroes were hyperactively welcomed by the people. A new rumor was circling among the commoners these days, 'the Nan Army were immortals.' That they've cheated death so many times just like how their leader, Li Han was able to survive throughout his dark years.

Since then, no one dared to mention about the existence of the 'Dog Prince' or the 'Bullied Prince' of the Li Empire, as if all those bad events never happened.

Li Han, the fourth prince was the 'Immortal Nan King.' Nothing else.

The next day, the emperor held a welcoming party for the male lead. The royals and the palace officials and their family were all invited.

No one wanted to missed this chance to meet again the infamous prince.

I gripped my skirt, as I stared at the female lead. Chu Wanwan was extremely beautiful. I doubt that they have plastic surgery in this era. Her face was the definition of perfection.

Her phoenix eyes, the lovely mole on the tip of her small nose, her heart-shaped lips, and when she smile, the cute and prominent dimples on both of her cheeks was so eye-catching and attractive, making her look more youthful and approachable.

No wonder she's the female lead and Li Han fell in love for this young girl at first sight. Chu Wanwan was truly exquisite. Bai Suxin can't really be compared to this goddess. So sad.

It's like the swan and the duck.

The huge difference!
