The noisy sounds came incoherently to Liu Man. She wasn't able to process the words before a huge wave of strange memories came rushing into her mind.

It was the memory of a girl. All the emotions that belonged to the girl, the countless faces she saw, and the countless conversations she had. Liu Man saw concrete, bricks, cars, and airplanes. This was such a strange but wonderful world. Liu Man, in the past, would've never even imagined or even thought of this. Even Zhi Guai couldn't make up things that were in this world in his stories. It was as if this world belonged to a dream.

TL's Note: Zhi Guai stories are mystery and ghost novels popular in the South and North, Wei and Jin Dynasties.

She had the same name as this girl. They were both called Liu Man.

She was a princess that was never announced and born in the cold palace. Yet, she died in the same place. Twenty four years. In such a short life, she'd never even stepped out of the front doors of the palace even once.

TL Note: The cold palace is a place in the palace where the Emperor puts the abandoned wives that he doesn't need.

It was such a cold winter. She'd pleaded for the servants to bring some firewood, but was rejected nonchalantly. Although she was a princess, her position in the palace was even lower than the servants. Because of the winter and the coldness, Liu Man had to put on all of her clothes and hide under the thin blanket, while shivering horribly. In this dark night, everything that surrounded her was only the coldness and silence. Yet, she could still hear the soft music and muffled laughter coming from far, far away. Sadness filled her heart, and her breaths were getting heavier and heavier by the moment. She didn't know whether it was from the coldness or exhaustion, but in the end, she lost consciousness.

She wasn't sure why she was able to dream if she was dead already. These scenes were so realistic: it was as if she was really there. Is the underworld really like this?

But the memories from this girl told her that what she dreaming of, was the the world in the future: two thousand years after her time. In this world, the emperors, servants, noble families, cold-blooded wars, and the rule of having "only wine and meat for the rich," were already history. Nowadays, people live in huge, tall buildings, and travel by cars, subways, trains, and airplanes. No matter how far away their destination was, if they wanted, then they'd always be able to arrive at there in, at most, a day. No matter what people wanted to buy or eat, all it took was a few clicks on an electronic device, and in no time, there'd be people delivering it. This was an era of peace. The new arising civilization was special and wonderful, with new things created every moment. No matter how poor you were, or how average your family was, as long as if you were hardworking, then you'd still be able to feast and live in great places.

This girl who held the same name as her was also someone from an average family. She lived with her parents, who were paid pretty well. Her father worked with the government, but wasn't really in a high rank. Her mother was a full-time housewife. The couple really cared about her and gave her everything she needed. She lived up to 20 years old, without having to care about anything. But only until she was twenty.

The memories abruptly stopped rushing in.

Liu Man slowly opened her eyes and stared at the slightly blinding chandelier that hung above her head, slightly confused.
