Jun Lii, while studying business at the Jiang Residence, t Jiang Yu’s only daughter, Jiang Xing.
Jiang Yu was cold and aloof, but her daughter turned out to be mischievous and lively, often infuriating her to the point of jumping in anger.
It was said that Ah Xing had another na in Hua Country, nad Yueqing.
Qing Yue Mian Xing...
It was indeed a very poetic na.
For the detached Jun Lii, falling in love with Ah Xing was a natural course of events, and for this reason, he specially chose a na for himself, Zihu.
The ’zi’ from a gentleman, the ’hu’ from protect.
Su Zihu.
The two went from being in love to getting married, all the way until she beca pregnant and was close to giving birth; Su Zihu never left her side.
However, not long after, the Jun Residence faced trendous trouble, so severe that his presence was absolutely required.
That girl, who only had eyes for him, holding her largely pregnant belly, insisted with resolve, "You go, the babies and I will wait for you to return."
Su Zihu couldn’t tell if this was a trap aid at him, or a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain? After weighing the options, he left all the capable people at the Jun Residence to accompany her during childbirth, bringing only a fraction of his n abroad.
The enemies didn’t succeed in taking his life, but they did cause him severe injuries and blinded him.
Caught in an ambush, the remnants split into two groups; one stayed to ensure his safety, while the other tried to make contact with the Jun Residence.
The group that went out never sent a ssage back.
During the ti of disconnection, Su Zihu was frantic with anxiety.
In the darkness, not knowing how long he had curled up, finally soone from the Jun Residence found them.
On the first day of regaining light, Jun Jiu knelt before him to admit guilt, saying that the matriarch had received no news of him after giving birth and had taken so people to the Jiang Residence seeking help.
Little did they know, those who had plotted against him were indeed from the Jiang Family.
And the ones who had found him... were the Jun Residence guards brought by Ah Xing.
But the price was... she remained forever amid the ruins.
The Jiang Family was unlike other noble families, honoring won above n, passing down inheritance through the direct female line rather than the eldest grandson.
By the ti of Jiang Yu’s generation, she had only one daughter under her knees, Ah Xing.
It could be said that, barring any unforeseen accidents, Ah Xing would be the future head of the Jiang Family.
Many within the clan were covetous, even Jiang Ke, the collateral family mber, Ah Xing’s nominal little aunt, and the most powerful person in the family, was not content with being last and wanted to vie for the headship.
Before the marriage, Jiang Yu had a serious talk with him: "Xingxing grew up in Hua Country from a young age, with a naive nature, and I’m afraid she can’t handle this heap of matters in the Jiang Family. After you marry, bring her back to the country; Hua Country is safer than many places, and with you there, I believe you can ensure her safety."
After finishing her words, Jiang Yu then repeatedly cautioned and instructed Ah Xing, not to run abroad for no reason.
Calculating everything, the only thing he hadn’t anticipated was that Jiang Ke would change tactics, starting from Su Zihu.
After Ah Xing left, without any hesitation, Su Zihu rged the Jun Residence into the Jiang Family.
In alliance with Jiang Yu, it took ten years to completely clean them up...
Jiang Yu even changed the clan rules, establishing her ten-year-old grandson Jun Yan as the heir.
This ti, there was no voice of dissent within the clan!
On the day of their great accomplishnt, there was not a single trace of joy in Su Zihu’s heart.
Jiang Ke was tornted to the brink of inhumanity, and on the verge of death, she laughed maniacally: "Jiang Xing is a fool. Had she stayed obediently in Hua Country, I might have not gained the advantage so soon! As soon as she heard of your trouble, she hectically rushed back to the Jiang Family. Hahaha, do you know? She even told she didn’t want the Jiang Family and had no desire to contend with for it; she just wanted Su Zihu back and would never return to the Jiang Family!
I deceived her, she was smart, sensed the falsehood in my address, and managed to find the real one through other ans. What a pity, no matter how smart, I had foreseen she would find you and prepared a fake Su Zihu in advance. We rigged him with a bomb. The mont she appeared—bang! Hahaha!"
Her laughter was heartlessly deranged.
Su Zihu emotionlessly threw her into the Water Prison, where Jiang Ke struggled for breath; if she surfaced for air, the spikes on the cage would tear her head and cause her to bleed.
She scread, coughed, choked on water, and struggled between the instinct to survive and imnse pain.
Zihu watched unblinkingly.
Jiang Ke’s blood gradually dyed the entire water surface red. Finally, no longer struggling, she floated on the water like a piece of rotten at.
She was dead, but Ah Xing would never return.
Another ten years passed, and when Jun Yan turned twenty, Jiang Yu abdicated, leaving the position of Head of the Jiang Family to Jun Yan.
Trained by Jiang Yu himself, this new head was an existence that everyone feared.
With a ruthless, heartless, and powerful boss, anyone would feel their heart tremble at the sight.
After ensuring his position was secure, Jiang Yu went to research superintelligence with Yan Wang and never ntioned business again.
And Zihu continued to help his son in silence for many years.
Not until both children turned thirty and beca tops in their respective fields did he finally feel tired... After laying down his burdens, he wanted to go and be with his Ah Xing.
That’s when Jiang Yu returned with Yan Wang.
The two of them secretly found him and said they had discovered sothing that could transcend ti and space.
After years of silence, Zihu’s heart trembled for the first ti.
Crossing ti and space, could he see her once again?
However, the success rate for struggling through the vast river of ti from here to the past was simply too low.
Opportunity, luck, belief... all were indispensable.
Yet Zihu stepped onto the journey without hesitation.
Yan Wang had spent many years designing sothing called "the system" hidden deep in his sea of consciousness.
He said, "Father, the flow of ti is like the Wangchuan River: to progress forward with consciousness carried by the waves cos at the price of physical demise, and even if you fail, there’s no turning back."
Zihu nodded calmly.
Yan Wang’s cold face showed a hint of hesitation, "This system stores father’s mories. I can’t guarantee that once you enter, you won’t get lost in the chaotic currents of ti... You might forget your original intentions and be completely swept away by the river of ti..."
"Xiao Wang, I understand all of it."
His now aged face showed a smile, "Even if there’s only a sliver of a chance, I want to try."
Yan Wang pushed up his gold-rimd glasses, turned his back, his eyes red and his voice hoarse and low, "Anyway... take care on your journey."
This departure was likely a farewell forever.
The sensation of entering the stream of ti was agonizing; he struggled against the current, and finally, when the ti was right, found a crack and passed through into the ti-space continuum.
The ti here was more than thirty years earlier than his original world.
Even Zihu couldn’t tell whether this was a parallel universe or if he had been reborn.
He found himself back in the young Jun Lii.
As a re consciousness, he had no power to control the body, so he watched things unfold slowly within Jun Lii.
The story was the sa as before, and yet different...
Jun Lii went to the Jiang Family to learn business, but Ah Xing was nowhere to be seen...
Jiang Yu also never ntioned having a daughter...
Zihu suddenly felt fear. What was he to do if this world didn’t have Ah Xing?
At that ti, Jun Lii was ambushed on his way back to the country and suffered severe injuries that blinded him.
Zihu suddenly discovered that he could control this body.
