It had been a while since school started. Ke Bu spent a lot of time adjusting his daily routine. It was a little uncomfortable to end his lazy life and suddenly return to school. He was holding his books as he ran to school. Unknowingly, Ke Bu ran through a restricted area and lost his way in the maze-like route. Ke Bu was anxious, solely preoccupied with running, and was not paying attention to the ground. When he took a step and didnt feel anything under his feet, it was already too late to call out for help—Ke Bu had fallen into a well. That glimmer of light was getting farther and farther away from him. Ke Bu tried reaching out, but he could not grasp anything.

Unknowingly, when Ke Bu opened his eyes, he felt some pain at the back of his head. When he stood up…what appeared before him was a completely strange scene. For a moment, he thought he was dreaming. There were no signs of a modern city here. An age-old town of antiquity, people dressed similar to those in historical dramas…which filming studio did he fall into?

“Let me go, help! Someone save me!” A familiar voice came through from afar. Ke Bu looked back and saw a beautiful woman wearing a purple dress. Her hair was tied up into a bun with a flower hairpin. She was held in the arms of a man. The man was wearing a green robe, with the front portion of his robe opened wide. From their laidback and licentious nature that came fully into light, how could Ke Bu not recognize these two—aren’t they Chu Haoyu and Gong Zhu?

“Young lady, don’t be shy. Obediently follow this Uncle and he’ll give you glory, splendor, wealth and rank that you can enjoy endlessly.”

“I don’t want to, please don’t do this to me!”

Chu Haoyu put his hand on Gong Zhu’s chest and all of a sudden, his complexion changed. He retreated several times and said, “Nothing, why is there nothing?”

“Of course, there’s nothing! I‘m a dignified five-chi [1] tall man.”

([1] a traditonal unit of length, equivalent to 0.333 metre or 1.094 feet)

“Which man would dress up like you!? How dare you tease this Uncle!” Chu Haoyu pulled out a sword from his waist. Ke Bu, who was in a daze at the side, finally spoke, “What exactly are you guys doing?”

Chu Haoyu turned around and said: “Is this who I think it is, isn’t it Ke Bu? It’s so ridiculous for you to dress up like that.”

“The way you talk is even more ridiculous, what are you two playing?”

“Playing?” Chu Haoyu streaked across swiftly the sword in his hand. Ke Bu immediately felt a burning pain on his cheek and blood started to drip. He covered his face and looked at Chu Haoyu in disbelief. He was furious, “What are you doing?” Gong Zhu ran to Ke Bu and worriedly asked, “Are you all right?”

“Don’t you recognize me? Gong Zhu?” Ke Bu asked.

“You know my name? You are…”

“I’m Ke Bu, you don’t know me? Tell me, what‘s with this place?” Ke Bu realized something was wrong so he hurriedly asked.

“Hey, have we met before? This town isn’t far from the capital.” Answered Gong Zhu.

“The capital?” Ke Bu looked around again. He opened his mouth wide and the pain in his cheek made him realize that this was not a dream. So, in other words, did he travel back in time? Why did this antiquated story happen to him? He took a step forward and grabbed Chu Haoyu’s robe: “You know me, right? Tell me, how can I go back? I don’t want to stay in this damn place. I want to go back.” Chu Haoyu pushed Ke Bu away. Ke Bu lost his footing and fell to the ground. Chu Haoyu pulled on to his clothes. “I don’t understand what you’re saying. Of course, I know you. You’re Ke Bu—the cursed man.”
