When Lei Xing booked a luxurious cruise as a graduation present to herself, she expected to have plenty of well-deserved rest and relaxation with an ocean view before jumpstarting her career. What she did not expect was to be the unlucky person who would fall overboard to a miserable watery death… or so she thought. 

To her astonishment, she opened her eyes to find herself in an ancient setting, a different body, and a new life as the eldest daughter of a high court official.

{...Okay, at least I'm rich...I can still live happily and freely, it's still a golden opportunity at a second life. I can live it well~...maybe go travelling, start a business, or something…It definitely could be worse...}

To Lei Xing’s horror, her new host was scheduled to enter the palace to compete in the concubine selection for the new Emperor. 

{...What?! I am definitely not interested! Of all places, it’s that viper pit! I’m not built for any Royal BS or harem fights. Please keep your scheming lives to yourselves and leave me the hell out of it, NOT INTERESTED!!!... Can I not go, please? T_T)...No? Nevermind then, failure is always an option... Failure is the only possible outcome. Bring it on! Hahahaha…}

While Lei Xing was making plans on how to skip out of town, fate was also very busy working out its own plans for her, mapping out its own course for her life behind the scenes... Poking holes in her plans to her confusion and outrage. 

"...Little chicken, as long as I'm alive you won't die."

"Nonsense, if anyone is going to cause my death, it would be you!!"

"Do you really feel nothing after all this time?" He asked as he looked at her with searching eyes, trying to see into her soul...

"...Who...would..." she mumbled under her breath...

***

"When things go against nature, there will always be a price that must be paid..."

Circumventing Fate

Lei Xing could feel him standing behind her. Her heart was pounding erratically and she remained completely still as if she would somehow become invisible to him if she did.

The Emperor frowned at her back as he noticed the scattered red dots on her upper back. "Xing er'?"

"Do you have something you want to tell me?" The Emperor calmly asked.

Lei Xing knit her brows and glanced at him, but then quickly faced the wall again, embarrassed.

{...Now is not the time for a bloody conversation. Go Away! T_T)...}

The Emperor did not respond and the stretching silence made Lei Xing feel even more on the edge. She wanted to turn around but she really could not bring herself to. She also hated the fact that she was being such a coward about this...But this situation was really not ideal.
