Chapter 1 Causing Trouble
Su Jin sat on the bed, staring blankly at the antique-styled room in front of her.
She held a copper mirror in her hand, reflecting her fair skin, black hair, white teeth, bright eyes, and the panic and disbelief within them.
She was sure she was dreaming.
All of this in front of her wasn’t real.
She had only succumbed to her friend’s repeated pleas to accompany her and her aunt to Wutai Mountain to pray to the Bodhisattva for a relationship. On a whim, she had asked for a fortune stick, which said she would marry within seven days. A 27-year-old single woman getting married in seven days—wasn’t this a joke?
She scoffed, crumpled the fortune paper into a ball. Her friend came over to snatch a look. Amid the playfulness, she slipped, hitting the Bodhisattva’s feet, and instantly saw stars, falling backward.
When she woke up, she was lying on this intricately carved bed that had a faint sandalwood scent, awakened by a doctor using a silver needle.
Su Jin repeatedly told herself this wasn’t real, but the pain on her forehead was so clear, as well as the footsteps she heard in her ears.
An adorable maid with red, tear-filled eyes entered, holding a red and gold tray with a bowl of dark medicine, and stepped forward saying, "Miss, the medicine is ready, please drink it while it’s hot."
The maid’s name was Xingxing.
She handed the medicine to Su Jin, who didn’t move. The maid, eyes reddened, choked, "Miss, once you drink this, you’ll remember things from before."
