When I opened my eyes again, I was in the lab pod.
A reassuring voice from above spoke, "Zhuang Qing, congratulations on completing your mission. The bonus has been credited to your account. From today, you are officially retired."
A colleague handed me a book. The title remained the same, but it had transformed from an abusive story into a sweet romance.
In it, I saw the ending for Xiao Yan and Song Yan Yu. They had another child, a daughter named Xiao Nian Qing [1].
Every year on that day, they would bring Zhen'er and Nian Qing to visit me.
By the way, the book mentioned that Xiao Yan and Jiang Huai Zhi jointly petitioned to have Pei Du depose me, preventing me from being buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Yan Yu said, this was the resting place I had wanted.
She always understood me best.
The last part of the book was an epilogue about Pei Du, but I closed the book without reading it.
"Not going to read it?" my colleague asked.
I shook my head. "No, it's irrelevant to me now."
Perhaps it detailed Pei Du finding a new love, or maybe it chronicled him spending the rest of his life mourning me, but none of that mattered anymore.
Just as I told Song Yanyu in the end, I did not care about Pei Du. What I cared about was her. She had been my close friend who had shared twenty years of my transmigration with me.
In this world, I retired honorably, with a substantial bonus ensuring a worry-free life. Why let a chapter from the mission affect my peace of mind?
Everything from that world was finished for me, but my life in this world still had a long way to go.
Rather than lingering in the past, it's better to look forward and move on.
