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 woke up a while after the Emperor had left for Court. After greeting her, the next thing Xiao Ruo said was, "Your highness...Concubine Chen has been waiting for you outside."

"Who?" Lei Xing groggily asked as she stretched. She did not remember a concubine Chen.

"Concubine Chen..." Xiao Ruo repeated.

"Your cousin." Ah Jin usefully supplied.

"Ah, her..." Lei Xing said with a yawn and then she froze and knit her brows, "What? What is she doing here?" Lei Xing exclaimed as she blinked at them. As far as she was concerned, she and Chen You had no business.

Xiao Ruo knit her brows, "She did not say...We told her you were not seeing anyone but she insisted on waiting so she has been standing outside your palace for a while now..." They all knew not to wake Lei Xing up for insignificant people, even the Emperor never requested for them to bother her asleep.
