Felicia had just completed the scholarship exam for the university she hoped to attend. To pass the time while awaiting the results, she decided to linger in the university library. As she wandered among the towering shelves, she encountered a stranger who recommended a book titled Yusian 863. With nothing else to occupy her, she accepted the book and began to read.
The volume turned out to be a Historical Biography of the Yusian imperial family. It detailed the genealogy of this long-forgotten dynasty, chronicling the fates of each member, including their deaths. Felicia found the subject matter peculiar and unsettling, as she had never heard of the Yusian imperial family before.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. She set the book aside and read the text message: "I passed!" Before she could fully process her excitement, she felt the ground tremble. Panic surged through her as the realization dawned-an earthquake was shaking the library. Desperately, she tried to flee, but the collapsing bookshelves overwhelmed her, and she lost consciousness.
When she regained her senses, she was startled to find herself in a new and bewildering situation. A strange man loomed over her, muttering, "Her name is Astrid Cecily," before abruptly leaving. Felicia attempted to speak but was distracted by the sound of a baby's cry. She glanced down at her tiny hands, realizing with horror that they resembled those of an infant.
"Welcome to the world, 6th Princess Astrid Cecily Yusian," a voice intoned.
The name seemed eerily familiar. Felicia's mind raced as she connected the dots. Wasn't this the forgotten princess who died in obscurity?
"My name is Felicia, it means happiness and luck. For unknown reasons, I was reincarnated into a baby whose future is to be forgotten. What kind of sick game is this?"
