The story takes place in ancient China. The day my elder sister was appointed Crown Princess, I volunteered to marry the sickly General Wei Shuhan. All of the capital laughed, saying I was picking up the trash my sister didn't want. On our wedding night, I smiled lightly at my coughing, blood-stained groom. "General, do you know you've been poisoned by three strange toxins?" When he gripped my throat, I spoke even more shocking words: "I wish to make a deal with you-wipe out my family for me, and I'll cure your poison and extend your life." By the flickering candlelight, his eyes turned crimson. "And if I refuse?" I brushed my hand across his chest. "Then the general will have no choice but to enter the underworld as a virgin." Later, when the poison flared up, he pressed me against the medicine vat, his burning breath brushing my ear. "The third poison... could it be a love curse?"

After transmigrating into a historical novel, Wen Mian expected at least a decent role. Instead, she became a low-ranking palace maid. Other maids read their masters' expressions and survive through clever schemes. Wen Mian, however, only stares back blankly. [Why are you looking at me? I didn't do anything.] Fine. If she couldn't play palace politics, she would simply endure her years of service and leave the palace at twenty-five. That was the plan. Until the emperor suddenly chose her to be his personal maid. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. On her very first day, Wen Mian had already begun composing the epitaph on her future grave. *** Emperor Zhaoyan has a secret. Since ascending the throne, he has been able to hear the thoughts of everyone around him. Ministers plotting rebellion. Consorts smiling while hiding daggers. Endless schemes echo through his mind every day, making the Forbidden City colder than ever. During a harem interrogation, he prepares to expose the guilty- Until a different voice suddenly appears in his mind. [Why are you still looking at me? Never mind... I'm hungry.] [I want red bean milk rolls... roast duck... roast goose...] Emperor Zhaoyan: ... In the cold palace, this one girl's chaotic thoughts become the only warmth he hears. And this time, he refuses to let her go. *** (Mini Theater) Wen Mian expressionlessly pulls her hand out from beneath the apricot-yellow silk quilt. Her hand is... wet. Emperor Zhaoyan's voice turns hoarse. "Since things have come this far, you belong to me now. You cannot leave the palace. My beloved, stay here with me. I will never mistreat you." Wen Mian glares at him. "Your Majesty... are you trying to steal someone's future wife?"

She thought she was going to die. She did. But the next time she opened her eyes , she found out that she was living a whole new life, as a little girl who was going to enter a noble household as a maid. However, a true pearl can never hide its lustre. It was a new world, set in ancient China-like era. Despite being confined in the vicinity of her new masters' household, she strove to live, and perhaps find love. Little did she know, her current life was one that had been pre-ordained. Not by the gods or heavens, but by a promise made by someone that had followed her through countless lifetimes ago. ||Author's note|| Original story. It's best to start with this book (One Lifetime is Never Enough / OLiNE). BUT before proceeding beyond chapter 28, I suggest to read book 0 (Loving You For A Lifetime/ LYFAL). Then, Book 2 (Remembering You For Eternity / RYFE) will be the conclusion of the tale spanning over the 3 books. Any images used were taken off the wonderful worldwideweb (mainly Pinterest). No copyright infringement ever intended. If you are aware of any credit due and which must be mentioned (or removed), please let me know. English is only my second language, so please bear with any of my errors. Book 0 and Book 1 especially, were written without editors and/or proofreaders. Mistakes abound.

The third time I got ready to confess to Lu Silan, I saw the barrage of comments: [Oh no! Just thinking about the supporting girl being rejected in public gives me heart palpitations.] [This crappy plot... why does the supporting girl have to mistake the wrong person for her savior and keep getting hurt by the male lead?] [Can't be helped. Even if the real savior is the villain who's had a crush on her for ten years, he just doesn't know how to speak up!] [Who would've guessed the cold and aloof school heartthrob secretly hires people to beat up the male lead every day, yet can't even say a word to the girl he likes...] [Girl, please look back at the villain. That poor boy's turning into a little ball of darkness!] Silently, I turned around and shoved the gift meant for my confession into the hands of the school's cool and quiet top student, whose eyes were filled with shadows. "Xie Yubai, do you like me?" He froze, his whole body going stiff in an instant. The barrage exploded in joy: [Finally! The supporting girl grew a brain!]

While I was out shopping with my fiancé, a miniature version of him suddenly dashed out from the crowd. The little boy blocked our path, looked up at Gu Huaichuan, and called out in a crisp, childish voice: "Daddy, I finally found you!" I was stunned. At the same time, lines of floating text appeared in the air, like bullet comments on a livestream: 【Aaaaahhh, the male and female leads are finally about to meet face-to-face!】 【Wuwuwu, our little baby finally found his daddy- the family's finally reuniting!】 【Hang in there, girls. Ye Lanyin's about to go offline. Her arrogant days are numbered.】

I followed a trick I saw online and confessed to the CEO. After getting rejected, I was secretly overjoyed. I thought I had finally stepped onto the glorious path of slacking off. But the very next day, I was scared weak in the knees by a desk piled high with documents. After two exhausting months, I handed in my resignation. The CEO tore up my resignation in a fit of rage. "So you're already tired of me? Found a new target?"

Suxin followed the original plot and played the green-tea villainess role well. But why can't this duck just die in peace?! -- "Bai Suxin, why are you so cruel?"
