During the Mu Dynasty, it was the summer solstice, a day of clear skies, gentle breezes, and warm sunshine—an auspicious day for weddings.
With the deafening sound of gongs and drums, the crackling of firecrackers, the accompanying music and ceremonies, and the red-clad bride leading the way.
The crowds lining the streets watched this scene with great excitement. The Mu family was condescending to marry the youngest daughter of General Luo, a third-rank nobleman. She was a talented woman of the Mu Dynasty, most famous for her gentleness and kindness, in stark contrast to her arrogant, jealous, and infatuated twin sister. No wonder the Mu family didn't marry their favored eldest daughter, Luo Zhiheng, but instead sought the marriage of their unfavored second daughter, Luo Ningshuang.
Although she married a sickly man, he was the only legitimate son of the Mu Prince's Mansion, a noble young prince, so Luo Ningshuang was considered lucky.
Seeing Mu Yunjin, the eldest son of the Mu family, riding a tall horse at the head of the procession to greet the bride in place of his younger brother, everyone felt a little breathless. How could there be such a handsome man?
The man's face was as cold as ice. He wore a sky-blue satin robe, his long hair occasionally fluttering by his ears. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes held a hint of anger. At that moment, he truly wished he could drag the imposter out of the sedan chair, tear him to pieces, and throw him into the moat.
That's so embarrassing! That's outrageous!
That infatuated, idiotic, and stupid Luo Zhiheng was so jealous that she beat Luo Ningshuang so badly that she was left bleeding profusely and on the verge of death. If he hadn't arrived just in time, Luo Ningshuang would probably have been killed. He didn't care what the sisters were like, but how could Luo Ningshuang possibly attend the wedding ceremony in this state?
What's most infuriating is that Luo Zhiheng shamelessly demanded to stand in for her. Is this a life-altering event that can be done by someone else? But the die is cast. The Mu family can't afford to lose face by not bringing a bride, and Luo Ningshuang, in her current state, probably won't fully recover for at least a month or two. Since someone in the family has already seen Luo Ningshuang, they have no choice but to find a substitute. For the sake of the bride serving tea to family and relatives tomorrow, they had no choice but to send that venomous woman, Luo Zhiheng, who looks exactly like Luo Ningshuang, to impersonate her.
But he still wanted nothing more than to kill that slut! Mu Yunjin's hands, gripping the reins, were throbbing with bulging veins and still trembling. That infatuated girl had just threatened him, hugging his waist and saying she wouldn't get into the sedan chair unless he gave her a kiss!
"What a pretentious wretch! She brought all this trouble upon herself, yet she dares to covet him and molest him!" A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Mu Yunjin's eyes at this thought. That slap just now felt so satisfying! I'll knock you out, then wake you up during your wedding ceremony, and see how pretentious you can be then!
He glanced back at the calm sedan chair, then looked away with satisfaction. If you dare threaten him, he has plenty of ways to shut you up.
Mu Yunjin had no idea that his furious and utterly disgusted slap hadn't just knocked the man unconscious, but killed him. But at that moment, the dead man slumped in the sedan chair suddenly gasped sharply, staring blankly at the delicate white hand before him, his face turning pale. He trembled in disbelief and stammered, "Wasn't I dead? Am I possessed by a ghost?!"
The jumbled memories in her mind finally settled on the image of that handsome man slapping her with his palm, and the memory of this body shouting angrily in front of a pool of blood: "Why did you get married before me? I'm the older sister, I should get married first."
So, is this chaotic, red scene before you a sign that she's on her way to get married?
Just as she was at a loss, a series of exclamations suddenly came from outside.

Da da da—
The rapid clatter of hooves caused panic among the people. The crowd that had filled both sides of the road surged into the middle of the road, and the sedan chair carrying Luo Zhiheng swayed and became unstable.
Luo Zhiheng gripped her bridal veil tightly, holding onto the headdress that was about to fall off her head due to the shaking. She grabbed the side of the sedan chair haphazardly with one hand, and it took her a while to calm down. But at this moment, she huddled there, not daring to move, and was even more worried that someone would lift the curtain of the sedan chair. She was afraid that she would die if she were exposed to the light!
She vividly remembered fighting bandits from another mountain for goods, only to be shot and killed instantly because she hadn't expected them to have muskets. Now, however, she was conscious again, but this body clearly wasn't hers, and the memories in her mind were strange. She guessed she really had become a ghost and possessed this girl's body. Ghosts are terrified of light. She didn't want her soul to be scattered.
She, who was fearless, encountered something she had never seen or heard of before. She didn't know it was called time travel, but she was certain that she had taken over someone else's body. She was filled with unease, anxiety, and panic. Her father said that she shouldn't take what others liked. Did she count as taking what others liked?
Before confirming her safety, Luo Zhiheng decided to remain silent and keep a low profile, restraining her volatile temper. Right now, she was just a ghost of unknown origin, and she couldn't let anyone discover her and burn her alive.
The noise outside suddenly subsided, and Luo Zhiheng strained her ears to listen, hoping to glean some helpful information.
Under the clear blue sky, two young men on horseback faced each other.
The black-clad man who had galloped up on horseback stopped on his horse, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He laughed heartily, “Brother Yun Jin has done a great service this time. Not only did you bring your brother a beautiful woman home, but you also took away a weak younger sister for my Ah Heng who always ruined her reputation. Bei Song is truly grateful.”
Bei Song? Xia Bei Song! A tall, jade-like man immediately flashed through Luo Zhiheng's mind—he seemed to be the cousin of this girl also named Luo Zhiheng. They had a good relationship; perhaps he could help her escape this marriage! Overjoyed, Luo Zhiheng was about to speak when her eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly covered her mouth with her delicate hand. She shrank back into the corner of the sedan chair, mimicking a foreign priest, silently chanting: "God, please let my cousin go quickly, please don't let him discover that I'm a ghost and not his cousin!"
They have such a good relationship, he might just recognize her as a monster at a glance. My life is at stake, I absolutely cannot run into my cousin.
Mu Yunjin narrowed his eyes, his slender pupils captivatingly bright in the sunlight. He knew perfectly well that the person inside the sedan chair was Xia Beisong's beloved. If Xia Beisong's precious child were to be carried away right before his eyes and married off to someone else, wouldn't Xia Beisong be devastated and despondent? Then no one would be competing with him for the position of Chief Imperial Guard. He felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration, and for the first time, he didn't engage in any banter with Xia Beisong: "In that case, we are truly all happy. Yunjin also wishes Brother Beisong and Miss Luo a speedy and lasting marriage."
Xia Beisong raised an eyebrow in surprise, wondering why Mu Yunjin wasn't going against him today, but he smiled and said, "I will definitely give Aheng the grandest wedding. Brother Yunjin, you must come and have a drink at the wedding."
"Certainly, certainly! The auspicious time cannot be delayed, so Yun Jin will take her leave first." Mu Yun Jin cupped her hands and ordered the wedding procession to continue.

The instant Mu Yunjin and Xia Beisong brushed past each other, an unseen spark seemed to fly between them, and their gazes held unfathomable meanings.
