"Please, moderate your grief."
Observing the constant flow of people in the memorial hall, Yun Yi's mind was a complete blank.
What was going on?
Before she could grasp the situation, a girl in a plaid shirt approached her, bent down, and taunted, "Chuyunyi, no one's around to protect you now. Your good days are over."
Yun Yi looked up, trying to see who the person was, but suddenly felt dizzy and uncontrollably collapsed.
"Quick, someone help, Yunyi has fainted!"
"What a terrible shame. Old Master Chu was such a good person. How could he just pass away like that, leaving Yunyi all alone? What will she do now?"
When she awoke again, she found herself having transmigrated once more!
This time, she had transmigrated into a lovestruck young girl whose name sounded identical to her own. She had also traveled to the era when her parents from her first life were born—an era where people 'relied on shouting to find others, traveled by foot, and even needed ration tickets to buy things'.
Suddenly, she thought of something and tried to contact her personal space with her mind, but she couldn't feel anything. It seemed she had truly traded her unique fortuitous chance for this rebirth.
She remembered that just a few days ago, the original host had not only given the job her adoptive mother left for her to Sun Xiaoyan, the sister of the man she liked, but had also been tricked into signing up. She was set to go to the countryside to become an 'educated youth' in a week.
Furthermore, while purchasing supplies, she discovered that Sun Ruiming, who had always claimed to love her, was secretly meeting with another girl behind her back!
And that girl was none other than Su Aiyu, Sun Ruiming's so-called distant cousin, who had been persistently persuading her to go to the countryside.
After eavesdropping on their conversation, she realized the entire Sun Family had been scheming against her.
Unable to accept this truth at the moment, and lacking the courage to confront Sun Ruiming, the original host returned home in a daze.
But before she could enter her house, she was informed that her grandfather had an accident on his way back to the Capital and was currently undergoing emergency treatment at the hospital.
When she arrived, the doctor in charge of the emergency treatment had just come out. "We did all we could. The injuries were too severe. Let the family see him one last time."
The original host rushed in frantically. Seeing Old Master Chu bathed in blood, she shivered with fright, her eyes instantly blurring with tears. "Grandfather, what happened to you?"
Old Master Chu's eyes were filled with unwillingness to part. "Don't... cry... From now on... you must... take... good care... of... yourself."
His voice was so soft that if the original host hadn't been so close, she wouldn't have been able to hear what he was saying.
Old Master Chu tried to lift his hand to touch his granddaughter's head, but after several attempts, he couldn't manage it.
Having been a doctor all his life, he knew he didn't have much time left. Without dwelling on it further, he started to give his final instructions: "Underneath the bed... in my room... a hidden compartment. If... anything... happens... go to... the Hua Family."
The original host knew her grandfather had gone out this time to treat the son of a close friend of Old Master Hua.
Upon hearing her grandfather's instructions, she was terrified. "Grandfather, please don't scare me."
Old Master Chu knew that while his granddaughter could be foolish when it came to Sun Ruiming, she was quite sensible otherwise. He spoke strenuously, word by word, "Sun... Ruiming... is... not... a... good... man."
The original host knew that her involvement with Sun Ruiming was a source of heartache for her grandfather and nodded persistently, promising, "Don't worry, I won't let him lead me by the nose anymore. He's not worth it."
Hearing his granddaughter's words brought a relieved expression to Old Master Chu's face.
He remembered the arranged engagement with the Qin Family. Considering the disdain the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin Family held for his granddaughter, he did not want his granddaughter to be wronged. With his last bit of energy, he whispered, "The Qin... Family... From now on... just... treat... them as... ordinary... acquaintances."
The original host also disliked Qin Jianghui, the youngest son of the Qin Family's main house, and readily nodded in agreement with her grandfather's words.
