Advertisement
In the darkness, it seems like an eternity. A young girl in black long sleeve hanfu was unconscious. Her long black hair was in a mess as she slowly twitch her eyelids as if she wanted to wake up. She groan in pain. Beside her, sat her maid. As she twitch her fingers, the maid suddenly stood shock as she just overcome her slumber calling, “Xiaojie, are you up? Are you alright?” She held onto her miss’s hand. Her hands were as cold as ice and her skin was as white and smooth as jade. The maid was overcome with laughter and smiles as she is regaining her conscious. “I will go call Master and Furen right now!” The maid quickly ran as fast as her little leg can carry her out of the room.
The conscious girl slowly sat up and look everywhere. Everything was unfamiliar to her she does not know where she is at. Suddenly, the door bolted open and walk in some people in maids clothing and some people in nice clothing. She puts up her guard and cover herself with the blanket not speaking a word. The master and furen looks at her, “Xiaomi ah, what’s wrong with you? I am your mother, do you not recognize me?” The furen walks to the bed and slowly pet her on the head, “What happen? How can my daughter not remember her own mother?” She turn to the doctor they brought in with them, “Hurry physician Xu, please take a look at my daughter see if anything is wrong with her! I am very worried” A man with medical kit walks to the bed and said, “Miss, can I kindly feel your pulse?” He was courteous.
The way they spoke was kind and she feel no threat so she kindly show him her hand as in allowing him to take a look. Physician Xu feel her pulse and nods his head. He turn to the headmaster, “Master Wang, your daughter is fine. Her pulse seem to be in a very good condition nothing is wrong with her.” Master Wang look at his daughter in relief and ask the conscious girl, “Daughter, do you remember me?” He gesture to himself.
The conscious girl look at everything evaluating everything and shook, “I am sorry but where am I?” Everyone stood in shock. Master Wang was stunned, “I am your father and you can’t remember me? My poor daughter is wronged!” He grieved. Physician comforted, “It is such a long fall, perhaps she have temporary amnesia so do not feel bad.” Master Wang nod and he command, “Everyone must listen to my daughter whatever she say must do what she says! Physician Xu, lets go talk outside.” He led Physician Xu out of the room.

Madam Wang went to hug her, “Xiaomi, I am your mother,” she said as a teardrop down her cheek, “I am very upset! That Prime Minister’s daughter is such a vicious being to harm you like this! I won’t sit back and do nothing!” She retorted loudly. She went to sit next to her daughter and embrace her tightly expressing, "Mother was so worried that we won't be able to find you anymore! Thank god Lan Shuixin was able to find you but now... he suffered at a great loss," she grieve.
The girl that they called her mistress just sat there looking at everyone. She found them all grieving especially the so call 'mom' in front of her. She was confused and did not know what to do. She comforted, "M-Mo... Mother, ain't I'm fine?" She was not comfortable as she carefully spit out these words and assess her mother's face.
Madam Wang looks at her daughter in surprise, and hug her even more, "You finally call me mother!" She sniffs, "I will not let Prime Minister's house get away with this! That Li Huahua wanted to kill you but thank god you are okay." She explains and ask, "Do you not remember anything?" She pulls Xiaomi away and look at her face. Xiaomi slowly shook, "What happen? How did I end up here?" She ask instead.
Her mother sigh and slowly explains further, "That good for nothing Li Huahua was so jealous of you that she pushed you off the cliff to Earth Realm. It's been half a month before we found you unconscious! Not only that," she further sniff and look at her daughter pitifully, "Prince Lan Shuixin lost his crown prince title due to being guilty of being the reason for your misfortune due to his fiancée's misconduct." She continue complaining, "Poor Prince Lanshuixin... He disabled his cultivation and now he lost his eyesight. Now he is just a crippled!"
As she listen to the tragic story she slowly nod and ask, "M-Mother... who is Lan Shuixin to me?" Her mother looks at her daughter and smile, "He was your master I sent you there to learn a few martial arts move from him and who knows how it turn out this way," she was upset inside not feeling like she want to continue explaining.
Xiaomi did not press further and smile, "Mother... I am fine now. I want to rest. I will pay master a visit when I fully recover." Her mother looks at her and understand. She orders everyone to leave except leaving her maid Yanyan with her.
As everyone left, she sigh and turn to her maid and ask, "What is your name?" Yanyan was stunned, "Xiaojie, I am Yanyan ah, one of your most trusted maid here!" She was shock to realize her mistress has forgotten everything about them. She looks at Xiaomi's guilty face and smile, "It's ok, I will slowly tell you everything of what happen and who everyone is. I am sure you will remember us as you recover." Xiaomi smiles back and nod.

Yanyan then explains, "Xiaojie, you are my master and I am your servant. Your name is Wang Xiaomi and is 15 years of age this year..." With this she continues on as if she was giving her a lesson to remember and to learn. Xiaomi listens attentively not missing any detail.

Meanwhile, another body lay unconscious in a dark room. The room was spacious and big with a lot of design in red and black. The curtains of the bed she lay on top on were red sheer colors with layers on top of layers. The room have windows all around the mansion but all the windows remain close. The wind blows and causes her body to flinch. She slowly opens her eyes and look around and found herself in a dark room with red sheer curtains all over.
She was relieve to find herself in the room alone and seem like she have not lost her chastity yet. She wore a white long sleeve sheer hanfu dress. Her hair has been undone and her long hair reaches the knee. What remain in the dark was her fair translucent skin. The room was dead silent. She was confused and does not know her whereabout.
She quickly head to the door where she saw an entrance meaning that also must be the exit to get out of there. She got to the door and suddenly, the door bolted open and stood a tall figure in black clothing. She looks at the man in awe. He was handsome and has a perfect figure. He had his hair up in a high ponytail and the aura he gives off was not like any normal being.
That startle her. She slowly step backward as she show sign of nervousness. She didn't know how to react or what to do. She do not know how or why she was there in the first place. He break the silence, "Where do you think you're going?" He walks into the room calmly and shut the door.
The room was so dark, all she could see was a black tall figure in front of her. She did not feel safe she just kept backing away not knowing how to answer him. She panic and curtsy, "I do not know who you are but I thank you for saving this one's life. I will forever be grateful for your help when I get out of here I will surely award you." Her heart was pounding so fast not knowing what the man in front of her will do.
The man smirks as he look at her, "Are you specialize in acting now?" As she hear this she was shock, ' Acting??!!! HOW?!' She looks up at him with a confuse face. He continues and said, "Xiaolian, you don't have to go anywhere. I've already punished those who hurt you why do you still insist on running away from me?" He walk closer to her with a cold face not smiling or having any sight of emotion.
She backs away, "Gongzi, I think you're mistaken. I'm not Xiaolian-" She was trying to explain but he cut her off, "Don't say another word to upset me," he hurried over to her and pull her close to his arm and embrace her and whispers, "Ah Lian, from now on I won't let you leave me again." He tightens his embrace.
She struggles and back away and yell, "Don't come closer! I don't know you! How can you disrespect me like this?!" She was furious. She crouch down and started crying like a baby.
He was taken by surprise and took 1 step back, "Ah Lian, what's wrong with you? Okay, okay I will not scare you again, I'm sorry!" He hurried to calm her down. She slowly stop crying and shook her head, "Get away from me!" He stops and back away from her and nod, "Okay, okay, I won't come any closer! What's wrong with you? I will have a physician sent to check on you tomorrow, but for now you cannot leave this room it is for your own good." He quickly hurry to leave locking the door from outside.
She sniff and watch as he left. She wipe off her tears after he left and was full of doubts and questions. 'Who is he? And why did he call me Xiaolian? And most importantly, where am I?' She look around her and find everything in pitch black darkness. She have never known who that young handsome lad is, how do he know her? And did he mistook her for someone else? She started weeping thinking of home, "Mother... father... where are you?" She bury her head on her knees as she crouch to the ground.
