'Why did I come back again?' Unlike the first, I transmigrated to the novel four years before the plot started.

I've been so careful.

Like I said, I changed job, apartment, bed and I even stopped reading web novels. I only asked Liu Mei to read the ending of the novel for me and that's it. I didn't even peek.

The hell! I am so.. pissed!

All the bullying scenes, my green-tea acting scenes, the jumping in the cold lake scheme and more; don't tell me, I have to redo everything?

Do I really have to experience all those fighting and chasing scenes; the blood splattering to my face moment and the horrible death as the villainess— the second time?

Why am I back to square one? Mother of Pearls!

"My lady, did you forget that Her Highness Princess of Laoyang invited you to the palace today?"

My forehead knocked into the table. 'Author-sama, I surrender. Please don't do this to me.'

It's just like that one time where I'm preparing a presentation and I've been working on that in my computer for a week then suddenly there's a black out. All the files were gone. Can someone understand the total despair I felt? I just want to eat the whole computer and I was thinking of burning the company to the ground!

All hope were lost and I just want to shoot my head. You know— that kind of feelings.

'Ah, crap.'

I also felt like an underpaid employee, forcefully doing overtime on weekends. That kind of chaotic feeling that I can't even resign even if I want to because I have bills to pay.

'My luckless life ah.'

Back at home, Liu Mei likes to threaten to kick me out of her apartment. Telling her own sister to sleep in the street if I don't pay her money back. So hard-hearted. 'That money grubber sister! So stingy!'

"Ah, I almost forgot." I weakly whined as Jin'er carefully put the white lotus jade hairpin to my hair.

The cycle of destiny has restarted again. 'Is this a dream?' I've been asking that myself for the whole year. Yup, I'm doomed. Totally. Oh my god, why did this happen again?

'I want to go back as soon as possible!'

Jin'er giggled as we went out. We were on our way to the main courtyard and I think my personal maid enjoyed teasing me recently. She won't stop laughing.

"Jin'er, stop laughing. Do you want me to find you a husband?"

"Oh no, my lady. My apology."

She stifled a laugh. "It's just that, I'm just so happy for you my lady. The crown prince obviously favors you so much. Madam Gu said the white lotus is a symbolic of love and beauty. My lady, congratulations. The crown prince will definitely choose you as his crown princess."

I gave her a sidelong glance. "You know, Jin'er.. Lu Kai is not that bad. Actually, he is very handsome."

Jin'er instantly blushed. "M-my lady, that's not fair."

I smirked. Look at this girl, her face was as red as a tomato. So cute.

"Nu'er is very mature for her age."

My steps halted. Jin'er looked at me confused. I put my finger to my lips, telling the servants who were guarding the door to keep silent.

"Nu'er is different. She's very special."

I peeked a little from the door and saw Bai Meili scowling. "That child, she's too thoughtful. She cared too much about the servants and their useless lives here inside the manor. It is very concerning."

I can't just chose to turn a blind eye. Thus, I saved Bai Meili from carriage accident again. But this time, I successfully changed things.

I put more attention to the household's affair especially to the food and clothings of the servants. So the event involving Mingle stealing a bun didn't occur. So unlike my first transmigration, Bai Meili do not have a reason to send Mingle and her mother to Red District anymore.

"She's too kind. Once she enters the palace and becomes the crown princess, what do you think will happen to our daughter? Xin'er will be bullied by those concubines."

Bai Muro's face expressed his satisfaction by laughing out loud. "Who dares bully the eldest daughter of the Bai Family?"

I decided to make my appearance known; I curtsied. "Mūqin. Fūqin."

"Xin'er.." The next second, the woman's expression flipped like a light switch. Bai Meili was now all smiles as she saw me. "Oh, my dear daughter, you're here. Come."

As soon as I seated, Bai Meili took my hand. "I heard you visited Mingle yesterday. How is she?"

In this life, I have a good relationship with the Bai couple. I'm thinking.. of forgiving them.

Somehow, in this second transmigration, I felt like something changed within me.

I felt like Bai Suxin became part of me. So I want to treasure the Bai family for her sake. I want to treat her parents as mine during my stay here in this ancient era. I don't want to cut them off especially the woman named Bai Meili.

The Bai couple aren't perfect; they are both greedy and ambitious. But I'm sure of one thing, these two are good parents. They can sacrificed everything for Bai Suxin. They love this villainess daughter sincerely, just like how Mom loved me.

"According to the physician, we're expecting to welcome her child next month."

It's almost one year when Mingle married a nobleman. Finally, the novel's plot happened where Xiao Mingle met her destined partner. This nobleman bought their mother and daughter slavery contracts; gained their freedom back and after their two months of engagement, they got married.

"That's good to hear dear. I will go to the temple later to pray for her since you treat that slave.. ehemm, Mrs. Gao as your sister."

When I attended Mingle's wedding, I never thought I'd cry so much. 'My child. Please, be happy.' I am so glad that Mingle was alive and enjoying her own happy ending.

Like in the movies where the father walks her precious daughter– the bride to the aisle while the groom will be waiting for her at the end; I can't help but became so emotional.

"Are you on your way to the palace?"

"Yes, Fuqīn."

"Oh, His Highness the Crown Prince must be using the seventh princess again to see you."
