Chapter 1: I traveled through time without realizing it in my dream

"Hey, Master Six, Madam Six, why do you keep stepping on our humble places with your precious feet? Those who know know that it is because the two masters are concerned about this little orphan girl. Those who don't know think that we servants are not attentive and don't serve Miss Cousin well enough!"

Who, who is speaking in a sarcastic and pinched voice there?

In a daze, Li Yaoguang heard bursts of harsh and contemptuous voices in his ears. That tone, that noise... Could it be that someone was watching a costume drama next to him?

Thinking of this, Li Yaoguang flew into a rage. He wanted to open his eyes and scold this guy who was so bold as to come to his recording studio to watch TV. Unfortunately, his head hurt as if it was exploding, and his eyelids felt heavy as if they were glued shut.

In a daze, no matter how she struggled, it was of no use. What was worse was that her hands, feet and even her entire body were like a ghost paralyzed by sleep, and she could not move no matter what.

Li Yaoguang only felt a dull pain in his head and became more and more dizzy. Even though his consciousness was blurred, the sound beside his ear continued.

"Bah, don't you see who she is? What cousin? An orphan girl who brought misfortune to her father, mother and whole family, a poor man who came to live with her relatives, and yet she still wants to eat ginseng? That's ginseng! You are worthless, aren't you afraid that your life will be shortened by great blessings? Master Su Liu, Madam Liu, if you have the ability to get good ginseng, you should use it to honor your ancestors, the Marquis' wife, or at least the Second Master and the Second Madam. Why are you spending our Marquis's money on a scoundrel? Master Su Liu, Madam Liu, I am not talking to you as a servant, but what you did is not decent and very unfilial!"

Although the harsh voice was loud, it was far away. Then a panicked and weak female voice sounded near my ear.

"What should we do with Su Lang? How about you go back first? Talk to father and mother. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the upper house and ask the ancestors for help?"

Immediately afterwards, a bright, young male voice spoke to comfort her.

"Don't, Meixue, don't panic. You know that people in this mansion flatter the powerful and bully the weak. Don't worry. Let these dogs who are rampant when they have power say what they want. Don't mind it. Don't take it to heart. Just be at ease. I will find the ginseng for you. No matter what, your husband will help you protect your only relative in your mother's family. Don't worry."

"Su Lang, Su Lang... woo woo woo, thank you."

"Hey~ You and I are husband and wife, you don't despise me for being cowardly, unruly, and incompetent to marry me, I am supposed to do these things, why should I thank you."

"Well, Su Lang is lucky to have you, wuwuwu..."

As low sobs rose and fell in his ears, Li Yaoguang could no longer hold on and his consciousness blurred again.

She seemed to be dreaming... In the dream was the life of a little girl.

I was like standing in the perspective of God, watching the little red ball being born in this strange feudal dynasty, watching her grow up, watching her being doted on, watching her being pretty and cute, watching her learning to read and write, and watching her send off her grandparents at a young age, and her father who was an official returning home for mourning. Three years later, her father, who came from a poor family, died of depression because he had no connections in the court and no hope of reviving his career. Her biological mother Yuanyang lost her companion and died of vomiting blood three months after her father left.

The little girl had no parents, no love and no one to rely on. In the end, she could only take her mother's last letter and keepsake, and with the help of kind-hearted people, she traveled thousands of miles to Kyoto and lived with her aunt who was married to the unwelcome illegitimate son of the second branch of the Zhenwei Marquis's Mansion.

The life of a concubine's son is usually hard. This uncle's life was already difficult, even worse than Jia Huan in Dream of the Red Chamber. At least Jia Huan had a favored Aunt Zhao to protect him, but his biological mother died early, and he was severely criticized by his stepmother. Cowardice and unruliness became his mask to survive in the world. His stepmother was not happy to see that he was no more promising than her own son. For the sake of the face of the Marquis's Mansion, he was allowed to go to the clan school to study. In order to keep the mask of the mistress of the house as a virtuous woman, he was perfunctorily found a poor marriage for him. Otherwise, based on the identity of the little girl's grandfather, who was a teacher of Jingzhao Prefecture and died early, her aunt could not marry into the Marquis's Mansion.

Even so, my uncle-in-law, whose career is limited and who has no involvement in household affairs, is still regarded as a playboy and uneducated by everyone in the mansion.

Li Yaoguang saw all these joys and sorrows in her dream, and her heart could not help but move with them. She didn't know how long she had slept. When she heard the sound again, she felt that her mouth was filled with bitter, slightly sweet, and earthy flavors. This was...

"Mother, mother, has my sister taken the medicine?"

Li Yaoguang was just wondering that she could taste something with her mouth. She thought her dream was too long and too real when she heard the clear and soft voice of a child.

This time the movement was clearer than the last time, which made Li Yaoguang excited. He tried hard to open his eyelids again, and heard a familiar and gentle female voice in his ears. It was the same tone he had heard last time, but this time the voice was no longer crying and wandering.

"Yang'er, stop making trouble and be obedient. Don't come into the house or stick your head out. Your cousin is not well yet, be careful not to get sick."

"Mother, Yang'er is good and obedient. He didn't come in. When will cousin be ready?"

"Alas... Mother doesn't know either."

There was only a faint sigh from a female voice, followed by the sound of a bowl and a spoon, and Li Yaoguang's mouth was filled with bitterness again. Then the female voice continued, "But now that I have taken the medicine to save my life, I think I should be able to get better. Yes, I must get better! If I don't..."

The female voice seemed to be thinking of something, she was in a low mood and paused. It was at this moment that Li Yaoguang finally regained control of his body. He opened his eyes that had been closed for a long time, and the first thing he saw was the old wooden beams and the green tile roof, and then the sound of ecstasy rang in his ears.

"Guang'er, Guang'er, it's great, Guang'er, it's great that you woke up! You scared me to death, kid! Wuuuuuuu..."

Li Yaoguang was stunned by the woman who threw herself on him, crying and sobbing, and dressed in ancient costume. And what the hell was this Guang'er called?
What shocked Li Yaoguang even more was that when she glanced past the sobbing woman lying on her and looked towards the door where the sunlight was coming from, she saw a little boy who looked about three or four years old, also dressed in ancient Chinese costume. What surprised her even more was that behind the little boy, in the bright sunlight, all she could see were ancient buildings. Where was the slightest trace of modern architecture?
Where is her dubbing studio and recording studio? She spent almost all her family's savings to renovate the huge studio, but where is her home?
Good guy! Li Yaoguang exclaimed, "Good guy!"

Don't tell her that she, Li Yaoguang, lived in the 21st century and had worked hard to build a career in a first-tier city with her tenacious character like weeds. But she actually traveled through time in the best years of her life?

No way? She was fine, not in any trouble, and she was just working overtime in the private recording studio she spent a lot of money to build. How could she have traveled through time? This obviously doesn't conform to the law of time travel!

Li Yaoguang looked over the crying head still buried in her body and was surprised again when she saw the little hand she subconsciously stretched out, and then...

Then she lay down and accepted her fate...
