It seemed like only a brief moment had passed, yet it felt as though I had endured a long century. Slowly, I awakened from my unconscious state.
The first thing that caught my eye was the roof above me, which was missing bricks and tiles, letting in faint rays of light.
I lowered my head slightly and saw a dirty quilt draped over my chest.
As I took in my surroundings, I noticed that aside from a rickety bed, there was no other furniture in the room.
The wooden door was ajar, and a man dressed in linen was squatting at the entrance, focused on brewing medicine. The clay pot he used was chipped, and the fan he employed to stoke the fire was tattered, with several holes in its surface.
At first, my mind was still hazy, but with each object my gaze landed on, my awareness sharpened.
What on earth is this place? Where are the promised mountains of gold and handsome men?
Anxious and restless, I thought about jumping up like a carp leaping from the water. However, before I could lift myself even an inch, my body betrayed me with fatigue, and I fell heavily back onto the bed.
The commotion startled the man outside who was preparing the medicine.
He quickly straightened up and strode into the room.
This man was tall with broad shoulders. As he stepped into the light streaming from behind him, it seemed to outline his figure with a golden glow, making him appear like a celestial being descending to Earth.
But as he approached me, that divine image shattered instantly—his face was streaked with dark smudges of grime.
The man reached out and gently touched my forehead, asking with concern, "You have a fever. Do you want some water?"
I clutched the blanket tightly with both hands, tears welling up in my eyes as I uttered the earth-shattering first words since arriving in this new world: "I don't want water! I want to take down Lou Guanhai! I also want to find my husband!"
That's right, I had crossed over.
Just the night before, I had discovered my boyfriend was cheating on me. Heartbroken, I ran to a bar and got completely drunk.
When I opened my eyes again, everything was a chaotic mess.
To put it simply, I had stumbled over to my boyfriend's place, filled with thoughts of revenge, only to get hit by a car.
My soul was ripped from my body, and I barely caught a glimpse of my head, which looked like crushed candy, before being taken away by a grim reaper.
But when I arrived in the underworld, a little ghost hurriedly came out and informed the grim reaper that they had caught the wrong person.
Could I go back? No way; I didn't have the courage to live for decades with such a head... So King Yama arranged for me to cross over into a parallel world, allowing me to continue living in someone else's body.
Seeing my sorrowful and distressed expression, King Yama quickly reassured me, "Don't be too upset. I'm preparing to send you to the Zou Dynasty, where you'll inhabit the body of a woman named Su Manqing. She's beautiful and skilled in martial arts, but she was abandoned by a man named Lou Guanhai and, in despair, jumped off a cliff.
Once you cross over, you can treat Lou Guanhai as your ex-boyfriend and take your revenge on him... I'll go find a matchmaker to help you secure an extraordinary marriage with a handsome and wealthy husband!
Additionally, I'll grant you a special ability—you'll be able to see where money is buried underground. Really! I'll take care of everything for you; just wait for your perfect life to begin!"
I was momentarily deceived by what seemed like favorable conditions and found myself unwittingly transported to ancient times.
However, upon truly witnessing the scene before me, I regretted it deeply.
If only this era had telephones, I would have certainly called 12315 to complain about that old fraud, King Yama!
While most people experience a "stunning glance" upon their first encounter, my initial meeting with Gu Yizhou was more of a "terrifying glance."
But once he washed the dirt off his face, his features appeared much more handsome and pleasing to the eye.
Especially the faint smile that lingered at the corners of his mouth made him look incredibly gentle.
When I first woke up, I had hoped with all my heart that he might be my perfect husband.
But I quickly dismissed that thought because he was simply too poor, completely contradicting the image of a wealthy husband I had in mind.
