Chapter 1, A New Arrival

Inside, there was an unnatural silence, broken only by the sound of the wind whistling through the gaps in the floorboards, and the audible sound of Qin Sisi savoring her tea.

Qin Sisi lowered her head to look at the place where she was sitting, a simple bed made only of a single mattress, where she could even see ants leisurely marching by. She silently removed the musty blanket from her body, and then saw her familiar T-shirt and jeans.

The beautiful young man, upon seeing her dazed expression, finally realized what he had just called her and awkwardly turned his face to the side

Tang Cangyu furrowed his brows; they had no choice but to resort to the ill-conceived idea of using Li Dai Tao Jiang. To gain the support of the prominent families, it was essential to have a person of high renown to step forward. The world-famous Princess Ya was the best candidate. However, unforeseen circumstances arose when Princess Ya was struck by an arrow while trying to protect Xiao Run. With the cold weather and limited medicine, her already frail body could not endure even to the next town, and she perished on the way. Yet, just as they were engulfed in grief, unexpectedly, this girl appeared in the grass by the roadside. Her almost identical appearance startled them, making them almost believe that it was the reincarnation of Princess Ya.

Qin Sisi was in a state of confusion when she heard the dilapidated wooden door emit an unpleasant creaking sound. Following the sound, she saw a person dressed in blue cloth entering with a tray of hot tea. Qin Sisi blinked vigorously, realizing that the frequency of handsome men appearing today was quite high

The man who entered later appeared to be older than her, likely around 20 years of age. He was dressed in a very ordinary ancient-style long robe, without a trace of embellishment, and even his hair was neatly tied up with a blue scarf. However, when Qin Sisi clearly saw his face, she couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

I would like to ask the young lady to impersonate Princess Ya, the late elder sister of Xiao Run. A trace of sorrow flickered in the handsome young man's eyes, and his tone inevitably darkened.

The young man seemed taken aback by her unexpected response, inhaling sharply in surprise. His dry lips moved, yet no sound emerged.

Qin Sisi has always had a fondness for beautiful people. Just now, she was lost in thought while gazing at that handsome young man. Now, with another exceptionally attractive guy sitting in front of her, it would be strange not to look her fill. A cool breeze swept through the room, and she casually pulled over a musty blanket to drape over herself, while holding a wooden bowl in the other hand, slowly sipping hot tea in small sips.

It seems that she is still herself, and is not engaging in any sort of resurrection gimmick.

After finally swallowing it down, she looked back and forth at the expressions on the faces of the two handsome men, feeling uncertain. Her intuition suggested that things were not as simple as she had imagined. However, upon reflection, Qin Sisi chuckled dryly at her own suspicion. A noble princess? A royal sister? Which prince or princess could have fallen so low as to live in such a shabby house, using such broken bowls to drink such poor tea?

Qin Sisi blinked vigorously, confirming that the ancient costume handsome young man staring at her in front of her was not an illusion

The two people in front of them sighed for a long time, yet there was no sign of any reaction from Qin Sisi. Xiao Run couldn't help but lean closer to Tan Cangyu's ear and whispered, "Master, is this woman mute? Ever since she woke up, I haven't heard her say a single word."

She was thoroughly engrossed. As for how she ended up here and what exactly was going on, she couldn't be bothered to think about it at all

But why go to such lengths to tease her, who has just entered the campus? Qin Sisi tilted her head in thought, unable to comprehend it. However, she could not ignore the ancient costume beauty sitting cross-legged in front of her, sitting upright. Judging by his age, he seemed to be around thirteen or fourteen years old, with a face like a painting, and the heroism between his brows did not appear to be feigned.

Qin Sisi did not feel the flickering gaze of the other party at all; instead, she noticed the incongruity that this beautiful young man could not hide. His clothes were tattered and even had patches, perfectly complementing the dilapidated state of the room, which was visible from all angles. However, his pale complexion, lacking sunlight, and well-maintained hands clearly indicated that his true identity was merely that of a student. ... Perhaps he was just a middle school student ... but his pale complexion, lacking sunlight, and well-maintained hands clearly indicated that his true identity was merely that of a student. ... Perhaps he was just a middle school student ...

Due to the evident expression of disbelief on her face, the face of the handsome young man known as Xiao Run suddenly flushed red, but it was out of anger, not shyness

Well, the acting is quite good! Qin Sisi was initially critiquing the other person's makeup for being inadequate, but the sudden display of emotion just now immediately changed her assessment of him. However, isn't this acting a bit too realistic?

Bang! He struck the hay-covered ground with a punch, sending a flurry of straw and books flying. "If it weren't for that woman, Youfei, how could my father, the Emperor, be so gravely ill and neglect state affairs? She even falsely proclaimed an imperial edict summoning me to the palace, only to harbor ill intentions and frame me for a coup. If only my elder sister hadn't taken me to escape through the secret passage, then she... she wouldn't have..." Xiao Run's eyes turned red, and the words that followed became choked with emotion, leaving him unable to continue.

Generally, when an ordinary person encounters such a situation, they would certainly first ask themselves where they are. However, Qin Sisi is rather lazy; she is too lazy to speak. Rather than expending energy by talking, she prefers to move her eyes. Thus, she amusingly gazes at the handsome young man sitting across from her, from the top of his head, through his eyebrows and jaw, down to the hands resting on his knees.

Perhaps it was just her senior playing a prank on her, Qin Sisi thought. However, when she saw the bright sunlight streaming through the hole in the roof into the room, she realized that things were not so simple. She had checked today's weather forecast, which indicated that the area around the academy would be overcast with rain for several consecutive days. Unless her seniors had taken her to a very distant place without her noticing, everything was inexplicable.

The beautiful youth was rendered speechless by her gaze, and the words he wanted to ask got stuck in his throat, making it impossible for him to utter them. Especially the thin, gossamer-like garment she wore barely concealed anything; her two snow-white arms shimmered in the sunlight, causing his heart to race. Moreover, the neckline of that garment was uncomfortably low, far beyond his understanding.

Qin Sisi raised her eyebrows, not missing the thin mist that floated in the eyes of the handsome young man, nor the fact that the hands resting on his knees had already clenched into fists, even trembling slightly.

She simply picked up a strange wooden box from the ground at https://www.hetushu.com, and out of momentary curiosity, opened the box. How did it happen that when she opened her eyes again, everything had changed to the current situation

The two handsome men were momentarily taken aback, then exchanged glances at each other

Seeing him still staring at her intently, Qin Sisi nonchalantly straightened her posture and sat cross-legged, then unapologetically glared back at him

There must be some purpose behind it ... The heavens must have a reason for allowing these events to unfold, thought Cangyu, gritting his teeth. He did not care where this girl came from or who she originally was; he vowed that by any means necessary, he would transform her into a noble princess.

Because not only their appearance, but even their voices are identical

The handsome young man's expression changed dramatically, and he emotionally uttered two words: "Your Highness..."

Qin Sisi signaled him to continue with her eyes

It is somewhat bitter, but it does not affect her mood to appreciate handsome men

She thought, feeling a bit dizzy

The handsome man in blue reached out to touch his shoulder and sighed, continuing, "I am Tan Cangyu, the master of His Highness the Crown Prince. Shortly after we escaped the capital, we encountered assassins sent by the Ghost Empress, and unfortunately, Princess Ya was struck by an arrow and died.

Hmph, so it was just an act? Qin Sisi's half-suspended heart returned to its original position, and her straightened back involuntarily relaxed, a lazy smile appearing on her face

What? A half mouthful of tea got stuck in Qin Sisi's throat, nearly choking her

Her eyebrows resemble cold mountains, her eyes are like clear springs, and her lips are akin to peach blossoms. Even the most fastidious observer would find no flaw in her perfect features. The innate nobility she carries makes her entrance into this dilapidated room feel surreal. What does it mean for a humble abode to shine? Qin Sisi has truly experienced it firsthand.

It feels like watching a TV drama... The sense of unreality surrounding Qin Sisi is becoming increasingly intense, yet the expressions of the two people in front of her instinctively make her realize that they are not lying.

The young man in the blue attire slowly nodded, turned his face away, and solemnly addressed Qin Sisi, saying: "Miss, I have a request to make."

Upon hearing the words, Tang Cangyu and Xiao Run were both taken aback, their expressions changing in unison

Upon receiving the wooden bowl with a missing piece, Qin Sisi suddenly felt as if she were holding a precious porcelain artifact

After a long time, it seemed that the girl had thought of something she could not comprehend. Tilting her head, she helplessly parted her lips and said: "Do I really look so much like that elegant princess?"

Master ... ... "The beautiful young man licked his dry lips and hesitantly spoke.

"Are you awake? Have a cup of hot tea. The weather is starting to get cold, and you're dressed so lightly; it's no wonder you fainted in the wilderness." The handsome man in blue walked closer, sat down on the ground, and placed the teacup in front of Qin Sisi. His posture was extremely elegant, and his voice was slow and melodious.

An awkward silence filled the room

What? Qin Sisi's hand, which was originally about to rub her eyes, stopped in mid-air. What should she say next? No one gave her a script!

He let out a big sigh of relief

Ah, so they still have a master-disciple relationship. Could it be related to martial arts? Qin Sisi had no sense of crisis at all, happily indulging in her fantasies. After all, it was just acting; sooner or later, someone would definitely come out and say she was set up. Being set up didn't matter; seeing a handsome guy was what she truly gained!
