Chapter 1: Rebirth in the Modern World
Pain.
A searing, bone-deep pain shot through her body, dragging her from the abyss of unconsciousness. Her fingers twitched, her breath came in shallow gasps, and her head throbbed like it had been split in two.
She wasn’t dead?
Her last memory was of a battlefield soaked in blood, her sword heavy in her hand as she cut down enemy soldiers. Then, a sharp pain in her chest; the fatal strike. She had fallen, knowing her life was over. Yet here she was, breathing. Alive.
Her eyes snapped open, adjusting to the dim light filtering through the cracks of an unfamiliar ceiling. This wasn’t the open sky of a battlefield, nor was it the luxurious chamber of her general’s estate. It was... a strange room, stark white, with many strange metal things attached to her body beeping steadily.
She tried to move but her limbs were weak, refusing to obey. She couldn’t even lift a finger.
While she was struggling to understand how she was still alive after a spear went through her heart, a sharp, splitting pain shot through her skull.
Unfamiliar memories surged forward.
A different life. A different name. She was no longer Chu Yue. But
Chu Miao.
Eighteen years old. A modern girl from a world completely different from her own. A car accident had left her in a coma for two weeks.
