《Bound To The Tyrant Prince》Chapter 1
Advertisement
In a country side which is far from the Luoyang capital, a small house with candles lit around it can be seen.
Involuntarily, it lighten up a tiny part of the forest. However, the residence was hidden from others. On the inside, lived a young lady with only one maid-servant.
Unfortunately, the young lady lay freeze on the antic bed like a lifeless body. That thin and delicate body hasn't move for three days.
She is the Third Miss of Xu family. Her name is Xu Ling Ai. She has been casted away by her family.
Her father is Minister Xu Bei Hong. Since her mother passed away, the Second Madam Gu has been in charged as his rightful wife.
The shaman predicted that she will bring misfortune to the Xu Manor. Without any expenses, she has been depending on her own. Right now she is about to reach seventeen years old.
However, three days ago an incident fell upon the gentle and kind lady. Xu Ling Ai suddenly slip and drown in the river. She was found by Jiang Mama.
However, no one know that she woke up with another soul. To be exact, a very grumpy soul.
All of a sudden, the unmoved body suddenly get up and cough non stop. Like she had just coming out from water.
"Cough Cough!" She try to catch her breath feeling suffocated.
Observing her surrounding, her eyes moves up and down, left and right. Closing her eyes once again and then rubbing it. Her eyes bulging out when she is still at the same place.
"Dang it! Where am I?"
She look at herself wearing a loose white long sleeves top and pants.
A elder woman wearing a green clothing barged into the chamber with tears in her eyes. She rushed towards Xu Ling Ai.
"Miss you finally gained your consciousness! I am very worried." She look at the middle age woman in front of her who cried her eyes out.
"Stay right there! Don't come near me. Did you kidnapped me? But that's impossible! I died in the river.." She ramble. It didn't make any sense to her.
"What is this familiar but unrealistic picture? This room literally look the same like the wuxia's drama I watch on television! HOLY CHICKEN NUGGET! I TIME TRAVELED TO ANCIENT ERA?!!" Xu Ling Ai dramatically roll her eyes and fainted again.

"Miss! Miss! Wake up don't leave this old woman alone! I will die too." Hearing the elder's words make her rose up drastically and pat off her clothes like nothing happen.
She is actually pretending. She thought if she faint, she will woke up in hell. Obviously it did not work out. Failed miserably.
"I slipped. No worries." Xu Ling Ai started to walked back and forth trying to connect all the dots.
Her eyes fell on the antique mirror and went near it. In the modern world, she is a twenty one year old girl with countless of assignments and problems. But here, the version of herself seem so soft.
'The skincares in ancient times is not that bad.'
The maid-servant look at her miss oddly. Her behaviour is so weird. She seems like a different person. Her speech were very strange.
"What do I call you?" Xu Ling Ai started. It would be very rude if she called the someone who is older than you with "hey".
"You forgot about me miss? I am Jiang Mama." Xu Ling Ai nodded her head up and down as a sign she understood.
"It's nice to meet you." She then grab Jiang Mama's hand and shake it. But Jiang Mama suddenly flinch.
'Did god give me a second chance to live? Or is this a punishment because I curse the god?' Her eyes went wide when she remembered the last moment she curse.
"Anyway Jiang Mama, can you please speak in a normal way? I didn't learned on how to use ancient accents so it was a bit hard to understand you." She said seriously with frown.
But Jiang Mama only look at Xu Ling Ai with confusion clouded her expression. A second later, realizations dawn on her that she laughed like someone who loose their mind.
"Pardon me. It's just that I couldn't accept this whole circumstances. Jiang Mama I need you to explain to me everything." She instructed Jiang Mama to tell everything that she want to know.
Jiang Mama then begin to tell everything without leaving anything out. She try to swallow all the story and detail of the lady life.
'So I am Xu Ling Ai in this lifetime? Since we lived in the forest, it will be easier for me to stay away from everyone right?' She thought.

Still feeling very unsatisfactory by the god's treatment to her, Xu Ling Ai sprint out of the room. She finally notice that they literally live in a freaking forest.
"You son of a duck how could you do this to me!" While pointing up at the blue sky. All of a sudden, a thunder strike through the clouds.
"I didn't ask you to send me to hundreds years back! Yaishhhh!!!!" Only the sound of bird can be heard.
'I gotta use this identity for awhile!' She determinedly thought.
"Miss.. you really forgot everything is it?" Jiang Mama broke the silence with sullen mood.
"Jiang Mama I think I bump my head onto a rock when I fell into the river. The memories will eventually come around." She don't know how to explain to Jiang Mama so she lied.
"By the way, which dynasty is currently ruling now?" She forgot to ask the most important question.
"It is Han dynasty and the current emperor is Emperor Wu."
"Really?"
There are a lot of popular dynasties but why did she got into the one she didn't focus on. Thus, she hate history subject.
"Teacher Lee I suddenly missed you." She could only exhale a heavy breath.
When she is in high school, she always sleep when it was the historical subject. She always got detention because of it. Surprisingly, she always passed the exam.
She do remember some part of the dynasty. But it was too little. Fortunately, she lived in the forest or else how is she going to stay alive?
"Anyway, Jiang Mama can you tell me where did I drown?" Xu Ling Ai need to find her way back to hell as soon as possible so the real body owner can return to her body.
Sitting in the corner of her chamber, she is currently embroidering silks.
Frown were clearly visible on her face. While continuing embroidering, she finally lose her cool.
"This is so tiring pretending to be a noblewoman! I don't need second chance, I would rather go back to hell!" She started to whine.
"HOLY MOTHER COW! Why is this hair so long?" Her real behaviour finally came out. She still hasn't get used to the long hair. She lean her head on the table.
After her transmigration to the ancient world, she couldn't curse in the normal way she did in the modern world.
It is because she is afraid the god might transfer her to Stone Age Period.
It has been one and a half week since she is trapped in the ancient lady body. She really tried to accept her fate and tried to turn herself into a very proper lady. But failed.
Jiang Mama keep wanting to call for a physician to check on her but she refuse as she knew well about her own body.
'I really called this as my own body huh? This is all your fault god!'
Living there for quite some time, she feel so boring without the internet and social media life.
Others would be very grateful to be given another life but she did not. She would rather get it over and went to hell.
She is a 21st century girl who couldn't live without all the modern accomodations and conviences.
And she had to learn a lot to become a proper ancient lady. Like how? She has been living her twenty years with the modern lifestyle.
But now she is here like a newborn who knew nothing about their strict culture of women and society.
It wasn't easy to change in a blink of an eye. Sometimes she would even dance and sing to kpop songs and Jiang Mama would scold her for dancing vigorously.
So she tried as much as possible not to sing and dance in front of the old woman. But she really miss her old life.
"What if my idol made a comeback? How am I going to continue my life!" She cry out loud feeling so frustrated.
"You could have send me my laptop and phone!" Glaring at the sky as if she is talking to someone.
Would y'all want to transmigrate into your own country ancient era?

Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
