Lan Lan slept soundly, unaware that the phoenix token was emitting intense red and green light, illuminating her body. In her dream, she felt incredibly comfortable, wishing she could sleep like this forever.

“Whose daughter is this? Why is she lying here?”
“I don’t know. Seems like we’ve never seen her before.”
“Why is this girl dressed so strangely?”
Heavens! Someone was making noise early in the morning, preventing her from sleeping. How annoying! Lan Lan opened her eyes furiously.
“She’s awake! She’s awake!”
Lan Lan looked around. This was a small mountain village, lush and green, with a beautiful lake nearby. Several people surrounded her, wearing clothes reminiscent of the Tang Dynasty. Where was she? How did she end up here? Could she have crossed over? Although she enjoyed reading time-travel novels and fantasized about meeting a handsome man, she never expected to actually cross over. Wait, she should confirm first.
Looking around, she saw a round-faced, kind-looking aunt in her fifties and asked, “Auntie, where is this place? What dynasty is this?”
The aunt was stunned and replied, “Girl, you don’t know? It’s the 115th year of the Tianlong Dynasty, and we’re in Longling Village, under Changan County’s jurisdiction. Why don’t you come to my house and sit down, have some water and something to eat?”
“Thank you, Auntie!” Lan Lan struggled to sit up, feeling sore all over her body.
The aunt’s house was a small wooden cabin by the lake, simple and reminiscent of her childhood home. She soon cooked a bowl of egg noodles. Although Lan Lan had a modern aversion to noodles, her hunger overcame her reluctance. Given the aunt’s humble circumstances, having a bowl of noodles was generous.
In the evening, while chatting with the aunt, Lan Lan learned that her husband’s family name was Zhang. They had a son, Zhang Dazi, who was a cook in the army, and a daughter, Zhang Ermei, who was married and living well in a neighboring village.
