Chapter 1, Unwilling to Suffer Injustice

Looking at the tightly shut door of the woodshed, deep anger and resentment swirled in her eyes. They wanted to frame her, but there was not even a door to do so

"Come quickly, the young lady has fled in fear of punishment!" The startled cries of the servants soon echoed within the high walls

She suddenly sat up, and in the darkness, her drowsy eyes instantly became clear. Even without light, the unfamiliar scent and the strange space still startled her.

As she saw someone approaching, she had no time to organize the strange and chaotic fragments in her mind, and shouted at the newcomer: "Who dares to touch me?!"

Hehe... Han Jiao covered her mouth, her laughter becoming even more triumphant. "Waiting for your father to come back? Hehe... By the time your father returns, who knows how long you will have been dead."

Chu Yuliang, with her hands and feet bound, sat quietly on the ground, her rising and falling chest representing her anger at this moment

A gentleman takes revenge; ten years is not too late. Wait until she preserves her life, then return to properly deal with these villains

Chu Yuliang narrowed her eyes tightly, glaring at her venomous expression

Oh! Without having time to think much, she flipped off the bed and bent down to vomit on the floor

Two months ago, Chu Yuliang's father, Chu Yunzhou, returned triumphantly from the battlefield beyond the Great Wall. The Emperor was greatly pleased and not only rewarded Chu Yunzhou handsomely but also bestowed a marriage decree, granting his eldest daughter, Chu Yuliang, to the current Third Prince, Xian Wang Yan Hongxuan. Unexpectedly, this incited the jealousy of Han Jiao, who even privately warned Chu Yuliang to push back against this marriage arrangement and urged Chu Yunzhou to petition the Emperor to change the betrothal from the eldest daughter to the second daughter, Chu Lingxiang.

Chu Yuliang rubbed her eyes, and after she adjusted to the brightness, she squinted and looked around. However, this glance was enough to frighten her, turning her face pale instantly

"A murder has occurred! The young lady has committed murder!" Another person shouted.

The unfamiliar memories in her mind made her realize that this stepmother had always regarded the original Chu Yuliang as a thorn in her side. The reason she harbored murderous intent towards this stepdaughter this time was merely due to the marriage contract recently bestowed by the emperor.

Transmigrating into a woman with the same name and surname

The two men did not hesitate any longer, advancing to restrain Chu Yuliang from both the left and the right

The eldest daughter of the Chu family, her biological mother passed away early, and her father is a great general of the Yan state. The woman she had seen before was named Han Jiao, the stepmother of Chu Yuliang, who is the new wife of her father. All of this was conveyed to her by the memories in her mind

The woman before me is in her early thirties. She was married into the Chu family as a concubine when she was fifteen years old. Having been in the Chu family for nearly seventeen years, she has given birth to a younger brother and sister for Chu Yuliang. Chu Yuliang's father has been away at war for many years, rarely at home, and almost all matters of the Chu family have been managed by this woman

Ah! A murder has occurred!" A woman's scream echoed.

She does not know whether this body has committed adultery with someone, but she is certain that it was not her who killed the person

This discovery caused her head to suddenly throb with pain, as unfamiliar memories surged in her mind like a tide

A hint of a cold smile lingered on the woman's alluring red lips, showcasing her triumph. "Chu Yuliang, I never expected you to end up like this, did you?"

What the hell is she dreaming about? The room was suddenly filled with a sense of disgust, replaced by this shocking scene, leaving her somewhat at a loss. Especially as those memories that did not belong to her surged in, sending chills down her spine, making her feel nauseous, her head pounding, and a deep sense of discomfort and panic welling up within her

Adultery or murder, regardless of which charge, awaits Chu Yuliang with the death penalty

Without waiting for her to retort, the woman commanded the two burly men, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take her down!"

In the woodshed

Such framing is clearly intended to eliminate Chu Yuliang

Looking out the window, the sky had already turned a fish belly white. Chu Yuliang fell silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and broke the rope on her wrist, quickly freeing her feet from the ropes as well

Opening the door and looking at the guards standing outside, disregarding their astonished reactions, Chu Yuliang curled the corner of her mouth and charged towards one of them. With a nimble body, she stepped onto the shoulder of the person, leaped into the air, and climbed up a nearby large tree. While several servants were left dumbfounded, she swiftly scaled the high wall.

The woman, led by Chu Yuliang, spoke coldly, "Your father has just left the capital, and you have already committed such a shameless act. Not only did you engage in an illicit affair, but you also killed the person. Now, with both the evidence and the crime caught in the act, do you still wish to argue your case?"

Chu Yuliang looked over at her, his eyes tightly narrowed, filled with disbelief and a deep-seated anger. However, the unfamiliar environment, the strange figures, the terrifying corpses in the room, and the chaotic fragments in her mind left her at a loss for words

Could it be that Chu Yuliang is a pervert who would seek out a decaying corpse to engage in incestuous relations with himself

Carrying a lantern, Han Jiao turned around with an air of pride and stepped out of the woodshed

Where is this

At this moment, she is shocked, disheveled, and at a loss ... ! ... completely unaware of anything !

Chu Yuliang looked up at the people in the room, her eyes filled with shock and fear

If someone dares to do such things, they must have made sufficient preparations. She does not even have the opportunity to seek justice, how can she protect herself

Perhaps Han Jiao is still unaware that her stepdaughter is a master who conceals her true abilities

Han Jiao continued to smile, her gentle smile laced with a chilling venom, permeating a sense of cold malice. "You, don't wait for your father; just wait for your execution. Dawn is approaching, and the officials will soon arrive. You have committed adultery and murder to silence witnesses, and many have witnessed this. Don't think that Aunt will help you; this concerns the reputation of the Chu family. Even if she wanted to help you, she would be powerless to do so. Take care of yourself... Hehe..."

She is lying in bed, but it is not her own bed, nor is it her own room. The unfamiliar and dilapidated little house, with its simple and ancient furniture, is most terrifying because there is actually a dismembered corpse lying on the bed, and it is completely unadorned.

Where is that foul smell coming from? It is so nauseating that it makes her want to vomit

She dares to guarantee that Han Jiao would use a corpse that has been dead for a long time to frame her, and it is certain that even the authorities have been bribed. In such a situation, how should she save herself

In the eyes of the Chu family, this woman is gentle and virtuous, beautiful and graceful, and very popular. Unfortunately, based on the memories of her original self, Chu Yuliang, she knows that this woman is very scheming. Otherwise, she would not be sleeping among a pile of corpses for no reason.

She has been locked in here for quite some time, and she has finally accepted the fact that she has traveled through time. It is not a dream; it is a genuine time travel.

As the flames illuminated the entire room, four or five individuals rushed in through the broken door, filling the originally small room to capacity

Bang! Suddenly, a loud noise erupted as the door was smashed open

Chu Yuliang looked up; previously, she had been too shocked to pay serious attention to this woman. At this moment, the woman stood before her holding a lantern, stunningly beautiful, dignified and noble, yet her face showed no concealment of disdain and contempt towards her.

Recently, due to a project, she has been suffering from severe insomnia at night. In order to ensure the quality of her sleep, she followed her friend's advice and spent a fortune on a large bed carved from white jade. She tried sleeping on it and found that resting on the cool jade bed was indeed comfortable, primarily because of the high quality of the jade. The refreshing coolness of the bed seemed to soothe her agitation. After sleeping on it once, she immediately paid to purchase it.

Chu Yuliang gasped for breath, wishing she could pounce on her and tear apart that disgusting face. She had never imagined that there could be such a malicious person, and she had never encountered someone so vile.

She could not understand how such a mysterious event could occur while she was clearly sleeping on the newly purchased bed

Hurry, quickly catch her, don't let her escape!" The woman who screamed first commanded loudly

That unconnected corpse is evidence of Chu Yuliang's infidelity, and the dismembered body is evidence of Chu Yuliang's murder to silence the victim, while those who broke in at midnight are witnesses

Leaning against the pile of firewood, Chu Yuliang felt troubled and restless. It was impossible for her to die in place of that Chu Yuliang. However, in this Chu family, everything was dictated by Han Jiao, and those so-called "witnesses" were all Han Jiao's people. In this Chu family, the Han family held absolute power; how could she clear her name?

Upon recalling the scene she saw after waking up, her complexion turned pale, and waves of nausea surged in her stomach

In the pitch-black room, the woman turned her body and gradually began to awaken, sensing the foul odor in the air, causing her to involuntarily furrow her delicate brows

The marriage matters of children are always decided by their parents, especially when it is a decree from the Emperor. Naturally, Miss Chu would not agree. She initially thought that after her father left the capital, Han Jiao would give up, but unexpectedly, Han Jiao took advantage of Chu Yunzhou's departure to immediately scheme against Chu Yuliang. This scheme was clearly intended to put Chu Yuliang in a perilous situation

Chu Yuliang also learned to sneer like her, but her smile was filled with mockery. "Using such despicable means against me, you truly are 'well-intentioned.' However, do not rejoice too soon, my father will return sooner or later"

However, she had no recollection of the dismembered body in the house or the adultery mentioned by Han Jiao

Take her down and lock her up, and let the authorities handle it when they arrive!" After issuing the stern command, the woman left coldly, covering her nose.

The door to the woodshed was suddenly pushed open with a creak, interrupting Chu Yuliang's irritated and angry thoughts

Her friend is in the antique business. For Chu Yuliang, it does not matter whether the items are genuine or not; what matters most is that she can sleep comfortably. She is engaged in scientific research and often uses her brain extensively, so what she desires most is to have a good night's sleep

The stench of the corpse was so foul it could suffocate a person, and it was unclear how many days it had been dead. Chu Yuliang was still in her own room last night while someone discovered the body in the small room in the middle of the night. This alone is sufficient to prove that she is neither the murderer nor an adulterer

As she raised her hand, she prepared to turn on the bedside lamp. However, what she reached for was not the familiar lamp, but rather something unfamiliar to the touch.

"Chu Yuliang." The person who arrived was none other than Han Jiao, the stepmother of the eldest daughter of the Chu family

The woman at the forefront is dressed in a long silk gown, adorned with a colorful embroidered jacket, her hair styled in a high bun secured with a beaded hairpin, and she holds a piece of silk in her hand. Beside her, four men are clad in long robes and jackets, their hair tied up high...

Ancient people

Little did I know that after just one day of sleep, I would encounter such absurd and bizarre events

"What are you here for?" she asked defiantly, tilting her chin slightly. Although she was not the true eldest daughter of the Chu family, it did not mean she would lose the imposing presence of the Chu family's eldest daughter
