He Yuan opened his eyes in a cute bedroom decorated in pink and purple hues. He looked around and, as usual, threw up the contents of his stomach into a chamberpot.
It was only after he took a mont to ease his dizziness that he realized the room itself and the furniture seed quite large.
He outstretched his hands in front of him. Two tiny arms presented themselves before him. He rushed over to the floor length bronze mirror and froze in shock.
"888! What is the aning of this?!" He Yuan shouted in anger. Not only was he little but he was also counterattacking for a little... Girl?!
888 burst out laughing and He Yuan's anger increased. "You think this is funny?!"
"Second miss, it's ti to prepare for the day." He Yuan froze at the soft voice and slowly turned around. A young teenage girl stood with two girls behind her.
He Yuan remained quiet so the three walked closer and tried to undress him. He quickly moved away from their grasp, causing the head servant to frown.
"Second young miss, is there a problem?"
'How could there not be a problem?' He Yuan thought but he shook his head stiffly. He was in an ancient task realm so he was aware that this was the normal procedure. It was just quite embarrassing.
'It's the leaser's body, not yours.' He Yuan chanted throughout the ti it took for the servants to bathe and dress him. Once they were done, the head servant ca forward again.
"Second miss, it's about ti to have breakfast with master and madam. We're already a little late."
He Yuan raised a little palm to his well styled head and swayed a bit. "I feel a little tired, can I rest for so ti?" He had no choice. He just got here and had no idea of what was going on. How could he face others?
The maid looked at He Yuan in concern. "Second miss, do I need to call the physician?" When He Yuan shook his head, she continued hesitantly,
"Second miss, don't you think it's better to just endure and eat breakfast with master and madam? The pri minister is already angry at you for your earlier words how about you try not to anger him further?"
He Yuan groaned inwardly. "I'm just resting for a little bit. It's not like I won't go over to join them." The servant wanted to continue but seeing He Yuan's resolute expression, she gave up with a sigh and led the other servants out.
He Yuan walked over to the bed and hopped on. "What's the information?" He asked 888 calmly.
The na of the leaser was Cao Yuei and she was the second daughter of the Cao family, the household of the left pri minister.
There was only one special one in this world and that was Cao Luoi, the daughter of the first wife of the left pri minister that went missing three days after she was born.
The left pri minister had been saddened by the sudden disappearance of his sweetheart after their child was born. He tried looking for her but she'd left a note stating that she never wanted to be found.
And indeed, she was never found. The matriarch of the Cao household took in her only son's devastated state and decided to marry him another wife.
Wan Ruo was one of the noble ladies in the capital who had been eyeing the young left pri minister, so she was very happy when the Cao matriarch ca to propose marriage and she quickly accepted. One year later, Cao Yuei was born. Everything seed great in the Cao household, until the girls began to grow.
Cao Long, the left pri minister, showered more love on Cao Luoi and Cao Feng -Cao Luoi's elder brother by one year and a half- with the excuse that they had no mother whilst he neglected Cao Yuei.
Ti and ti again, the little Cao Yuei tried to get her father's attention only to be turned down ti and ti again in favour of what Cao Luoi wanted.
When Cao Luoi turned five and Cao Yuei, four, Wan Ruo finally snapped. She could accept that Cao Long was still in love with his first Di wife but how could he blatantly play favouritism amongst his Di children?
And so in her anger, she arranged for Cao Luoi to be sold off to a bunch of traffickers. The innocent Cao Luoi was taken to beco a slave in a courtesan house faraway from the capital and when she turned ten, they started forcing her to receive patrons.
At sixteen, the despairing Cao Luoi managed to escape the courtesan house but not without consequences. In her struggle, soone had spilled a weird dicine on her face which caused it to rot.
She ran into a wandering doctor, who was kind enough to treat the rot but her face remained forever damaged. Cao Luoi bore with it. As long as she was able to get back to her family, all would be fine.
And so, she journeyed back to the capital. When she arrived at the pri minister's mansion, all her hopes were crushed. The guards refused to give her entrance.
How could they? She was a girl with a deford face wearing rags and covered in gri. How could she be the beloved first miss that had been proclaid dead a decade ago?
Cao Luoi felt a new wave of devastation and started wandering around the capital. She was walking along the streets when a carriage passed by her and drenched her in muddy water.
The driver offhandedly threw her a few coppers and kept on driving. She was about to turn away when the carriage stopped in front of a tea house in the street and soone ca down.
It was Cao Yuei. Cao Luoi watched as her half sister gracefully walked into the tea house with a bunch of noble ladies fawning over her and she burst into tears, clenching the copper coins in her palm tightly.
What exactly did she do wrong to deserve the life she got whilst Cao Yuei could live so comfortably? Why did Wan Ruo sell her off when she did absolutely nothing to her?
She was too absorbed in her grief that she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings so she slipped on a banana peel and cracked her head on a pavent. She died.
And then,
She was reborn.
