Wawa, what happened to her? How did she suddenly jump to ancient times? What? She’s even a divorced wife?! No, no way~~~ She’s a 21st-century new… new woman! What? This is the legendary handsome, wealthy, yet cold-hearted prince husband? How can someone not even recognize their own wife? Wow, how cool… But fortunately, I’m not an ordinary person, so let’s try our modern woman’s husband-taming technique. What, it won’t work? Then, let’s just divorce him. There are plenty of handsome guys in ancient times anyway……
Sleeping Through a Thousand Years of Grievances (1)
So noisy, who is it? Who’s speaking in my ear? Why does it sound so lingering and sorrowful, as if it has penetrated the joys and sorrows of several worlds, painful to the bone, yet filled with endless longing!
Still in a state of mental confusion, Xu Jie’er waved her hand by her ear, trying to chase away the annoying voice. However, the voice not only didn’t dissipate but became more distant and prolonged.
Unbearable! How dare someone disturb her most precious beauty sleep? This is simply unacceptable……
She immediately threw off the blanket and leaped from the bed, half-opening her blurry eyes and looking around. But all she could see was a light gauze warm canopy. Xu Jie’er thought to herself, “Strange, where is everyone?”
Someone was clearly talking right next to her ear, but why couldn’t she see anyone when she woke up? Was she dreaming?
Xu Jie’er closed her eyes and gently rubbed her temples. Her head hurt so much! It was all Xia Wei’s fault for insisting on bungee jumping, causing her to fall into the water from such a height. She must have caught a cold and been shocked, which is why she felt so uncomfortable!
Where is this place? A hospital? Damn, that crazy girl Xia Wei must have only cared about herself and didn’t come to take care of her, who had just escaped death. How heartless!
Thinking this, Xu Jie’er opened her eyes again, wanting to carefully observe her surroundings. As a young lady, she could compromise on many things, but her accommodation standards were always high.
But when she saw the scene before her, she was immediately stunned. A vermilion rosewood carved bed, a four-panel screen in plain silk embroidered with plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. Through the gaps in the screen, she could vaguely see an exquisitely designed dressing table by the window. Could she have accidentally wandered into a film studio’s shooting set?
Without bothering to put on her shoes, Xu Jie’er jumped down from the bed and rushed to the door. The moment she opened it, she unexpectedly faced a garden full of snow-white pear blossoms. The elegant fragrance of pear flowers wafted towards her, and fallen petals danced like pure-winged spirits among the branches.
“How beautiful!” Xu Jie’er couldn’t help but exclaim. Truly worthy of being a top-tier resort, the scenery was extraordinary. This must be some meticulously designed vacation resort.
“Clang—” The sound of a copper basin falling to the ground rang out clearly. Xu Jie’er turned around curiously and saw a girl with a delicate appearance standing at the entrance of the small courtyard. Her hair was styled in what seemed to be called a flowing cloud bun, wearing a light purple cotton top and a light blue trailing long skirt. Her eyes were filled with shock as she said: “Miss, you’re awake?” ……
Sleeping Through a Thousand Years of Grievances (2)
Miss? Was she being addressed? Xu Jie’er smiled brightly: “Hello, could you tell me which resort this is? The decor is so unique, and the place is beautiful!”
“Miss… what are you talking about?” The maid blinked her large, confused eyes, her eyebrows arching in bewilderment as she stared blankly.
Huh? Her question shouldn’t be that difficult to understand! Xu Jie’er unconsciously scratched her ear and changed her question: “Do you know where my friend who came with me is?”
The maid became even more perplexed, involuntarily stepping closer and carefully examining her before bursting into tears: “Miss, what’s wrong with you? Woo, it’s Butterfly’s fault for not supporting you properly, causing you to become like this. If the master and madam find out, they’ll surely beat Butterfly to death!”
What? Miss, this seems somewhat understandable, a general term for single women! But these terms like master and madam, what’s this all about?
Xu Jie’er was full of questions, but the maid was crying her heart out, reminiscent of Meng Jiangnu crying down the Great Wall. No wonder Master Cao once said: Women are made of water.
After a while, seeing she showed no signs of stopping, Xu Jie’er impatiently interrupted: “Hey, can you stop crying? Others might think I’m bullying you! I just asked you two questions. Is this really necessary?”
The maid finally stopped crying, sobbing: “Miss… you, don’t be angry… Butterfly won’t, won’t cry!”
“That’s more like it!” Xu Jie’er patted her shoulder, instinctively trying to pull out a tissue to wipe her face, but after searching for a while, she realized she wasn’t wearing her original clothes. But that was understandable – her clothes must have been wet after falling into the water, so changing was normal. Only, why was she wearing ancient costume similar to the maid’s, just with different styles and materials!
Wait, wait a moment. Isn’t this plot somehow familiar? Isn’t this the scenario she’d seen in countless novels?
Xu Jie’er immediately knocked her still-malfunctioning brain and confirmed she wasn’t dreaming. She then exclaimed with wild joy: “Hahaha… Unexpectedly, I, Xu Jie’er, have joined the time-travel army!
Those who cross over, ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of sisters will use the amnesia trick, which can be called the golden rule of crossing over!
“Miss, miss, what are you saying? Butterfly can’t understand a word!” Oops, I got too carried away, forgetting there’s someone else nearby…
“That, Butterfly, can you first tell me who I am? I seem to have forgotten everything!” According to research, ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of sisters who cross over will use the amnesia trick, which can be called the golden rule of crossing over!
“Miss, you, what are you saying? How can you not remember anything? Miss clearly still remembers Butterfly!” The little maid looked at Xu Jie’er in shock.
Xu Jie’er couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She had been calling herself “Butterfly” dozens of times, how could she not remember? She’s not a goldfish!
Seemingly noticing Jie’er’s unfriendly expression, the little maid timidly said, “Miss, don’t be anxious. It must be because you fell from the swing and hit your head, causing temporary memory loss. Butterfly will go find a doctor right away!”
What?
So the body’s owner had swapped souls after falling from a swing!
Haha… her crossing method wasn’t too bad either. At least she, as a young miss, had experienced a free fall from 55 meters high!
“Miss?” Butterfly tugged at her clothes, calling out timidly when she saw her lost in self-admiration.
Xu Jie’er finally came to her senses, remembering she had more important matters to attend to. She cleared her throat and asked seriously, “That, Butterfly, can you tell me who I am? Who are my family? What year is it? Where are we?”
She fired off all her questions at once, not caring whether the little maid could answer so many at once.
“Miss, don’t be anxious. Butterfly will tell you slowly. This is the Fanchen Kingdom, currently in the sixth year of Xianyi. Your given name is Gu Yueque, the second young miss of the Gu family in Jiangzhou. A year ago, you were betrothed by the Emperor to the highly favored Wang Ye. We now live in the Yuanyi Courtyard of the Wang Mansion.”
