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

The Emperor twirled the container of balm a servant had delivered to him in earlier. He had spent quite some time scrutinizing the small container trying to decipher Lei Xing's meaning. The maid who delivered it did not bring any message, apparently, Lei Xing had simply asked that it be delivered to him.

{...Is this concern or is this a send off?...No, I have quite a few things around her palace, this is nothing...So it's concern...but nothing more?...}

The Emperor put down the container and sighed. He really could not be certain whether it was one way or the other, he could not be certain about anything when it came to Lei Xing. He was still not sure what to do about her and so could not return to her palace tonight as usual.
