"Why is it another bronze mirror? Don't we have any other mirrors?" This damn mirror is so hard to see!

"Young Madam, this is the only mirror we have here. Everything in our Green Jade Manor is the best," Dujuan told her mistress.

"Really?" As a criminal investigator, she easily connected all the information. Could it be...?

"What's the date today?" she asked.

Today is the thirteenth day of the fifth month of the first year of the Jingde era.

Jingdezhen…that was the Song Dynasty! “Are you kidding me?”

"It's true, young mistress, you've been unconscious for two days and two nights." Du Juan thought the young mistress had lost track of time while sleeping.

Seeing the two maids nod so firmly, she believed everything they said was true. Good heavens! What kind of cruel joke was this? How could her soul have been sent to the Song Dynasty, over a thousand years ago? What about her original body? Could she ever go back? She, a renowned Interpol agent, fluent in four foreign languages, computer literate, and an expert marksman—a legend in the police force—was now here. She couldn't do anything a woman should do. How was she supposed to survive here…?

Since she's already here, she might as well make the best of it. Besides, isn't she now the young mistress of the house?

Shen Jie's sharp gaze vanished. Suddenly, she clutched her head, pounding it against her skin, repeatedly crying out, "My head hurts so much...it hurts so much..."

"Young Madam, what's wrong?" Xiao Fei and Du Juan were startled by her.

"I'll go tell the master." With that, Xiao Fei ran out.

Why is she going to see the master? She's the eldest daughter-in-law, shouldn't she be going to see the eldest son? This family is really strange. Even if the daughter-in-law and father-in-law are having an affair, they can't do it so openly. Oh well, there's plenty of time later.

The footsteps at the door told her that someone had arrived, and there were many people.

"What's wrong with me? I don't remember anything." With her experience as an undercover agent, she had naturally developed superb acting skills, even better than those of professional actors.

A group of people pushed open the door and entered. Leading them were a middle-aged couple; the man was probably in his forties, and the woman beside him looked to be under forty. Judging from her assessment, they must be the gentleman and his wife that Xiaofei had mentioned. But the gentleman didn't seem like the type to do such a despicable thing.

"Yin'er—" Master Ouyang called softly.

"Who are you? Don't come any closer!" she cried out in terror, shrinking into the corner of the bed, looking fearfully at the people in the room, while secretly laughing her head off.

"Oh, my poor daughter-in-law. We are your parents-in-law, how can you not remember?" Madam Ouyang cried out, wailing and squeezing out a few tears, which were obviously fake.

"Enough!" Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore, and Master Ouyang shouted. Like mother, like son—equally despicable. "Guards, fetch Tianyun for me!"

"Can you tell me who I am?" Her voice was like a mosquito's buzz, indicating that she was very scared.

"Your maiden name is Su, and your given name is Yuyin. You are the wife of my eldest son, Ouyang Tianyun." Master Ouyang had no intention of telling them about their family situation; it was better to forget such a tragic matter!

"Oh!" Su Yu Yin, so "she" is not only beautiful, but also has a lovely name.

Just then, the servant who had been sent to find the eldest young master returned. He whispered a few words in the master's ear, and then heard Master Ouyang curse:

"That brat, is he trying to drive me crazy?"

"Master, don't be angry. Xiangmei is pregnant, and it's only right that Yun'er stays with her." Madam Ouyang spoke up for her son; Xiangmei was her sister's daughter.

"Hmph, Yu Yin is his lawfully wedded wife, and he's just going to ignore her like this?" I truly regret letting my eldest son marry the Su family's daughter; if it were my younger son…

"Yun'er only ever liked Xiangmei. It was you who insisted that he marry Yuyin. How can you blame Yun'er?" Madam Ouyang said sharply, but it was the truth.

It seems "she" is in a terrible situation here. Her husband has another lover, and her mother-in-law seems to favor that woman. What can a woman in ancient times do? Wait here to die? Perhaps "she" couldn't bear this life any longer, and falling into the water was probably her attempt to commit suicide! What a tragic fate…

Chapter Two

"ah……"

Early in the morning, a scream rang out in Qinzhu Pavilion. The one who made the sound was, of course, Shen Jie—no, now she should be called Su Yuyin. Always an early riser, she was going to go outside for a walk. She had been lying in bed for seven or eight days and missed the sunshine outside.

But when she lifted the covers and saw her feet, she was dumbfounded. She stared at them for a full ten minutes before letting out a scream loud enough to lift the roof off, which naturally attracted all the servants of Qinzhuxuan.

"Young Madam, what happened?" Du Juan and Xiao Fei rushed into the main house and asked anxiously. Is it on fire?

"My feet... how could my feet be like this?" Su Yuyin pointed at her "small feet" and asked, trembling all over. How was she supposed to walk like this?

Du Juan and Xiao Fei squatted down and looked at it for a long time: "Young Madam, there's nothing wrong with your feet, they're very beautiful!"

These words only made things worse. Su Yuyin dramatically fell off the bed. "My goodness! They actually call these tiny, pointy, and deformed feet beautiful?!" In her eyes, they did resemble pig's trotters, but a hundred times uglier. They were so ugly! So disgusting!

"Young Madam, shall I help you up?"

"Mmm." Su Yuyin let them help her up and put on her shoes. She gently pushed away the two people supporting her, preparing to walk on her own, but as soon as they let go, Su Yuyin lost her balance and leaned forward. Luckily, Du Juan grabbed her in time, otherwise she would definitely have fallen flat on her face, and might even have broken a few teeth. What a close call...

No, this is terrible. Her once agile body has been replaced by this appearance. She's much shorter, and now she even has trouble walking. Dad, Mom, Brother, what are you going to do with your precious Xiao Jie?

Looks like I can forget about going out today. I'll just have to practice walking indoors! But how can such small feet support her body? Even if she's less than 155 centimeters tall, her feet are still way too small, aren't they?

These feet alone are enough to classify her as a third-degree disabled person.

"Huh? Dujuan, Xiaofei, why didn't you bind your feet?" She noticed with her "sharp eyes" that they had natural feet.

Mentioning their large feet, the two maids couldn't help but look somewhat gloomy: "That's because we are of lowly status and not qualified."

“What do you mean by lowly status? We are all human beings, and we should be equal, shouldn’t we?” Su Yuyin said unhappily. She hated it when people looked down on her like that. Even if Song Dynasty society was patriarchal, she didn’t want the people around her to have that kind of thinking. “From now on, you are not allowed to have any servants in front of me, understand?”

"This servant wouldn't dare!" What had they done wrong?

"What do you mean 'dare' or 'don't dare'? These are the rules. If I ever hear you refer to yourselves as 'slave' again, you'll be fined half a month's salary, understand?"

"We...we understand." Why has the eldest young mistress changed? She wouldn't have said such things before, but they still like the current eldest young mistress.
