Half a month had passed.
Su Muwan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of the Su family's ancestral home.
The bright sunlight streamed in, but her eyes were hollow, as if she had lost all focus.
For the past two weeks, she had been like a walking corpse, drifting through each day in a daze.
This world was nothing like the one she remembered.
There were no Dragon Kings, no War Gods, none of those clowns who used to prance around in front of her.
Not even her white-lotus sister, Su Bailian, existed here.
The Su family was still the most powerful clan in Jiang City, and she remained its sole young mistress—yet everything felt so unfamiliar.
No martial arts, no cultivation, none of the battles that once set her blood boiling.
And most importantly...
—there was no Qin Luo.
Su Muwan lowered her head, her fingers tightening around the hem of her clothes. Her chest felt heavy, as if something were suffocating her.
In the past, no matter what happened, Qin Luo would always be by her side.
He would wear that gentle smile of his, calling out to her—"Young Mistress... Young Mistress... Young Mistress..."
But now, he was gone.
For the first time, Su Muwan realized how unsettling it was to lose someone.
She even began to wonder—had everything in her memories just been a dream?
Those days of fighting side by side, those life-and-death moments.
All the things she and he had experienced together... Could they really have been illusions?
"No... Impossible!"
Su Muwan shook her head violently, her nails digging into her palms.
It had felt too real to be a dream!
But if it was all real, then where was Qin Luo now?
Why had the world turned out like this?
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
Just then, a soft knock came at the door.
"Young Mistress, it's time for school."
Zhu Lan's voice drifted in from outside.
Su Muwan blinked in surprise.
Zhu Lan was still here.
At least this familiar face remained.
She steadied herself and replied coolly, "I know."
Pushing the door open, she found Zhu Lan waiting outside, holding her schoolbag with a hesitant smile.
"Young Mistress, we have an early class today. We should hurry."
Su Muwan nodded, taking the bag. Her gaze lingered on Zhu Lan's face for a moment.
Zhu Lan was still the same—loyal as ever.
She followed Zhu Lan out of the Su estate and into the car heading to Jiang City University.
As the scenery outside the window blurred past, Su Muwan stared absently, her thoughts drifting far away.
This world was almost identical to the Jiang City she remembered.
Skyscrapers, bustling streets, endless streams of cars and people.
The only difference was—no martial arts, no cultivators, none of the enemies who used to give her headaches.
Everything was just so... ordinary.
"Young Mistress, have you been troubled by something lately?"
Zhu Lan glanced at her through the rearview mirror, concern in her voice.
Su Muwan snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head. "It's nothing."
Zhu Lan hesitated before adding, "You've been so down these past two weeks. The master and madam are worried about you."
Su Muwan let out a self-deprecating sigh. "Because I can't find Qin Luo."
She said it offhandedly, not expecting Zhu Lan to understand.
After all, she was the one who had been reborn—Zhu Lan hadn't...
"Qin Luo?"
"Won't he only appear six years later... Uh..."
Zhu Lan abruptly clamped her mouth shut.
Su Muwan: ???
"Stop the car!!!"
Su Muwan immediately climbed over to the front seat, her eyes blazing as she stared at Zhu Lan, who now looked like a guilty child.
"Talk! How do you know about Qin Luo?!"
"And what about six years later?!"
"Zhu Lan, don't tell me... you've also been reborn?"
Zhu Lan shrank under Su Muwan's intensity, avoiding her gaze.
She lowered her head and whispered, "Y-yes... I'm sorry, Young Mistress..."
"Never mind that—what were you going to say about six years later?"
Su Muwan pressed urgently.
"Young Mistress... don't you remember?"
"In our past life..."
Zhu Lan swallowed hard. "Six... six years from now, Qin Luo will join our entourage through the recruitment event for attendants."
A sudden realization struck Su Muwan like a bolt of lightning.
She nearly laughed out loud.
Of course!
According to the timeline, Qin Luo wouldn't appear until six years later!
Which meant—
Su Muwan's eyes sparkled, her lips curling into a grin.
Six years!
In just six years, she would see Qin Luo again!
She sat back in the car, already daydreaming about the future—
A business empire!
Since this world had no martial arts, she could use her past-life business acumen to build a massive corporate empire!
When Qin Luo showed up six years later and saw her as a formidable business tycoon, wouldn't he be stunned?
"Hmph, I’ll make sure he praises me properly then!"
Su Muwan grew more excited by the second. With a wave of her hand, she declared, "Zhu Lan, turn around! We're skipping school—let’s go start a company!"
Zhu Lan: "???"
"Young Mistress, are you serious?"
"Of course!"
Su Muwan brimmed with confidence. "My business talent isn’t just for show!"
Zhu Lan looked like she wanted to argue but reluctantly nodded. "Alright, I’ll make the arrangements..."
However, before she could finish—
BOOM!!!
The ground shook violently as the road ahead exploded!
Dust and debris flew everywhere. Zhu Lan slammed on the brakes, and Su Muwan nearly crashed into the dashboard.
"What the—?!"
She looked up, frowning, as a massive shadow slowly rose from the smoke.
"Target... located..."
A raspy, grating voice echoed.
As the dust settled, Su Muwan finally saw the creature clearly—
A grotesque monster, its body covered in pitch-black scales, limbs sharp as blades.
Countless eyes embedded in its hide locked onto Su Muwan.
An Aberrant!
Su Muwan: "..."
Her eye twitched.
Seriously?!
Just when she was about to embark on her grand business venture, this nonsense shows up?
Are you kidding me?!
Why do you freaks keep popping up everywhere?!
This is a total genre shift!
Before she could react, hurried footsteps approached from the distance.
"Hurry! An S-class Aberrant has appeared! We can’t let it harm civilians!"
A squad in white uniforms rushed over, armed with specialized weapons, swiftly surrounding the creature.
"It’s the 'Abnormal Incident Investigation Bureau'!" Zhu Lan whispered.
She had learned about this organization after arriving in this world.
Su Muwan glanced at them dismissively.
They seemed well-trained, but their strength... was laughable.
Sure enough, the Aberrant merely swiped its claws—
BAM! BAM! BAM!
The investigators were sent flying, crashing onto the roadside, blood spilling from their mouths.
"Damn it... this Aberrant is too strong!"
"Fall back! Call for reinforcements!"
The abomination ignored them, slowly advancing toward Su Muwan's car with an eerie, guttural chuckle.
"Kill... let... the King... return..."
Su Muwan sighed.
"What a nuisance."
She pushed the car door open and stepped out.
Zhu Lan gasped in alarm. "Young Mistress! It's dangerous!"
The investigators also struggled to shout, "Miss! Run! That monster isn't something an ordinary person can handle!"
Su Muwan paid them no mind, her gaze fixed coldly on the abomination.
"Hey, ugly."
She raised her hand, fingertips shimmering with an icy blue glow.
"My mood was actually pretty good today..."
"But you just had to ask for death."
In truth, ever since her rebirth, Su Muwan had discovered something extraordinary.
And that was...
Zzzzt—!!
A surge of frigid power erupted instantly!
Crack!
The abomination's movements froze abruptly, its body rapidly encased in ice from the inside out, transforming into a frozen statue in the blink of an eye.
Su Muwan flicked her finger lightly—
Snap!
The ice sculpture shattered, the abomination exploding into countless crystalline fragments that dissipated into the air.
Dead silence fell over the scene.
Yes, that was right—along with her rebirth came the strength of her past life.
!!!
The investigators' eyes bulged, their jaws dropping wide enough to catch flies.
Zhu Lan stood dumbfounded. "Y-Young Mistress... you..."
Su Muwan dusted off her hands, looking annoyed. "Ugh, I just changed into new clothes, and this disgusting thing almost ruined them."
The investigators finally snapped out of their shock. The leader rushed forward excitedly. "Miss! Y-You're an Awakened?!"
Su Muwan shot him a sidelong glance. "Something like that."
The leader grew even more fervent. "Your power... it's definitely S-rank! No, even higher!"
"Our 'Abnormal Incident Investigation Bureau' desperately needs someone like you!"
"Please, you must join us! Help us fight these abominations!"
Su Muwan rolled her eyes. "Not interested."
She turned to get back into the car.
But just then—
Buzz~~
Her phone suddenly vibrated.
Su Muwan pulled it out and saw a message from an unknown number—
[Young Mistress, you there?]
[Ran into a bit of trouble. I'm messaging you from another world, but don’t worry—I’ll come find you!]
[By then, you better be even stronger than you are now.]
[Oh, and here’s some info about the world you’re currently in.]
[World Guide Compendium.rar]
Su Muwan stiffened, her fingers trembling slightly.
It was Qin Luo!
She quickly typed back—
[Wait! Where are you? (Recipient not in this world. Message failed to send.)]
Su Muwan: ?
She took a deep breath, her expression hardening with resolve.
Then she turned back to the investigators and said coolly,
"Fine. I’ll join."
The investigators erupted in joy. "Amazing! With you on our side, we’ll wipe out even more abominations!"
Su Muwan ignored their cheers, instead looking down at her phone, a faint smile tugging at her lips.
She wasn’t sure what was going on.
But... as long as Qin Luo was safe, that was enough.
She was certain—it was him.
Because...
Su Muwan tucked her phone away, her jade-like wrist radar pulsing wildly...
Like never before!
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
