Young Prime Minister, a Hermit

Author: Xiao Yi

[Synopsis]

Love in dreams, affection outside of dreams.

Is it possible for a person's love to create parallel lines, allowing two worlds and two relationships to exist in an eternal alternation?

Lin Jialan is a naive, timid, and slightly selfish modern girl who longs to be loved.

A car accident,

Every night in her dreams, she is transported to the ancient alternate world of Ishu, becoming Qin Luo, a young prime minister disguised as a man. From tranquility to turbulent waves, from sweet happiness to despair and collapse, her heart is broken. Will they ever hold hands again?

From layers of mystery to conspiracies and traps, from deep-seated hatred to genuine affection, can a naive person truly be unaware of the power struggles within their grasp?

Prologue

The universe contains countless parallel spaces and intersecting spacetime tunnels; on Earth, this translates into numerous parallel, never-intersecting alternate dimensions. However, are all the dimensions on Earth truly destined never to intersect?

The continent of Ishu was an ancient continent remarkably similar to ancient China on Earth. Five kingdoms and one island were vying for supremacy.

Jinyao, the hegemon among the five kingdoms, is rich in iron mines, has a vast territory and a large population, and abundant military resources.

Firefeather, second only to Golden Radiance, boasts fertile land, abundant produce, and a prosperous people.

Fengyin, located near the coast, possesses strong naval warfare capabilities.

The mist, mingled between the golden light and the fiery feathers, has long suffered from war, leaving the people destitute.

Shepherd's purse grows by attaching itself to fire feathers.

These five nations, though of varying strengths and geographically distant, all share the same deity, the goddess Ishtar. Izumo Island, however, is the only one that does not worship any god and advocates for freedom; it maintains friendly relations only with Fuuka and suffers constant bullying from the other four nations.

The common people of the continent of Ishu yearn for unification, the nobles await unification, and those in power preside over unification. Thus, driven by such desires, two great legends that forged heroes began to circulate: Xinghun, the successor of the Tianxingliu Sword Sect, and Chifei, the son of the goddess Ishuail.

Fate destined them to meet, but it did not tell us whether they would fight for the world or support each other; fate destined them to create an immortal legend, but it did not tell us whether the ending would be one of victory or defeat.

The saying goes, "Using the fires of hell to burn away all the evil in the world." The fact that a single person, a sect, and a single star soul can influence the course of history and overturn the entire continent of Yixiu speaks volumes about the Tianxing Sect and its successors.

In the 761st year of the Wanli Emperor's reign, the Fire Feather Kingdom's ruler, Jun Wuhen, appointed the twenty-year-old, unknown Liu Cenfeng as Grand Tutor, sparking widespread opposition and debate throughout the court. However, within just two years, the Fire Feather Kingdom subdued dozens of opposing forces, large and small, along its borders, including the Qimu Kingdom. Furthermore, in five major battles against the Golden Glory Kingdom, they achieved three victories and two draws, decisively defeating the renowned Golden Glory general, Lü Lin. This transformed the Fire Feather Kingdom, which had previously only managed to contend with Feng Yin, into a force capable of overwhelming force, its power rapidly approaching that of the Golden Glory Kingdom, the most powerful nation on the Ishu Continent.

Thus, Liu Cenfeng, the white-robed Grand Tutor who appeared amidst the falling maple leaves and the snow-covered shadows, became a legend on the continent of Yixiu. Some even rumored that he was the current Star Soul of the most mysterious Heavenly Star Flow Sword Sect in the world.

Descending into the world in the golden dawn

Soaring through the raging waves

Reborn from the flames

This is Chifei, the son of the goddess Ishtar, born under the combined light of the sun and moon.

In the 763rd year of the Wanli Emperor's reign, Yang Yi, the second prince of the Jin Yao Kingdom, and his trusted subordinates were trapped in the Red Valley. Qian Qian, the marshal of the Huo Ling Kingdom, ordered the valley to be set on fire, and their lives were hanging by a thread. At this critical moment, Qin Luo, the sixteen-year-old Sima under Yang Yi and the top scholar of the Jin Yao Kingdom in the fifteenth year of the Tianying era, devised a plan to glide across the sky above the million-strong Huo Ling army, arriving before the Jin Yao Kingdom's reinforcements at dawn. He then led them to break through the Huo Ling Kingdom's encirclement, diverted the waters of the Ou River, and rescued Yang Yi and the remaining Jin Yao soldiers.

This scene was deeply imprinted in the minds of all the Firefeather and Golden Radiance soldiers that day. It wasn't until later, when Qin Luo single-handedly assisted Yang Yi in ascending the throne and stabilizing the situation in an impossible situation, that this prophecy was spread.

The young prime minister, Qin Luo, became a figure sought after by various states. Everyone shared the same thought: this man possessed extraordinary talent and the power to overturn the world; if they couldn't bring him to their side, they would have to eliminate him. The only regret was that Qing Shuang Jian Feng Yi Han, who was always by Qin Luo's side, possessed unparalleled martial arts skills and prudence, ensuring his safety.

However, who knew that this young prime minister, who shook the world, was actually...

Volume One, looking back at the desolate place

Chapter 1 Awakening

"Don't think that just because I married you, I'll like you!"

"I can tell you clearly, I only love Xue'er..."

"Lin Jialan, I've never seen a woman as shameless as you!"

Descending into the world in the golden dawn...

"You think that by using such a trick to marry Xu Lie, he will love you? Let me tell you, you're dreaming. Lin Jialan, you've cruelly torn apart Xu Lie and Xue'er's happiness; you'll get your retribution!"

"If it weren't for you, Xu Lie and I would have been the happiest couple. But everything was ruined by your selfishness. I don't hate you, but Lin Jialan, you are the worst woman in the world!"

Soaring through the raging waves...

"Lanlan, watch out—!!"

"Lanlan, don't...don't be afraid, I...won't...let anything happen to you, I absolutely...won't!"

"Lanlan, Lanlan! Don't scare your mom and dad! Lanlan, wake up!"

Reborn from the ashes amidst raging flames...

"Bang—!" "Xu Lie, you bastard, do you think we wanted to marry our daughter to you like this? If it weren't for the fact that she loves you so deeply, if it weren't for... if it weren't for... your grandfather being terminally ill and hoping to see you marry Lanlan before he dies, why would we... sob... why would we let Lanlan suffer like this..."

This is Chifei, the son of the goddess Ishuel, born under the combined light of the sun and moon.

I moved my stiff fingers, feeling as if my whole body was filled with lead. Instead of blood, a thick, unidentified liquid flowed through my veins. I couldn't help but groan inwardly, "What's going on?"

"Yu Yin, did you see Lan Lan's hand move just now?"

"No, you must be seeing things! Sigh, she and Yufei have already... really—! really moved! Honey, call the doctor! Doctor—!!"

In the chaos, I saw familiar and unfamiliar faces. The pain in my body and the pain in my heart came at the same time. I was still confused but tears inexplicably streamed down my face, and then I lost consciousness.

Chifei… Son of the goddess Ishuel! Come back! Come back—

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a haggard-looking man standing beside my bed—Xu Lie, my husband in name only.

The events leading up to my coma played out in my mind like a movie replay, over and over again.
