This Old Man

Instead of dreaming of his past as the adult Wu TianLan, MingYu drifted off into an uneasy sleep and found himself back in the emperor Qin's study.

Why was he here? The last time he revisited this memory, Wei YueQin had bitten him, and Ye WeiRu had stopped his wound from festering. It was the day he had learned the emperor of Qin had arranged a marriage for him. Thanks to his luck, he died before being tied down for the rest of his life.

But this time, the dream was different, MingYu no longer relived it through his own eyes. He stood aside, moving freely within the space of his memory, as if these memories no longer belonged to him. He was a bystander, studying his own blank visage and stiff posture as the MingYu of the past listened to official Lu BaShi and the emperor of Qin talking about his upcoming marriage.
