Chapter 1
~Beautiful Man Rising From the Bath~
During a series of wars, common people’s lives were an abyss of suffering and hellish. Outside of the capital, the fields were strewn with bodies of the starved. The people live in an extremely poverty stricken state! Nowadays, The country is prosperous and the people live in piece. The common people live and work in peace and contentment. This is due entirely to two generals. One General Moli of the Northern part of the city and the other is in the Southern part of the city, General Qingyu. A man and a woman. The two brilliant generals are both well known to every household in the country of Fengchen. Moreover, both of them were equal in popularity. Indeed, not long after, during the battle against the enemy country at the frontier passage, Qingyu, the female general unexpectedly disappeared into hiding. The other general, Moli was unwilling to let his opponent disappear. As a result, he searched for Qingyu day after day.
……
Sun and Moon Mountain Villa. A veil of pitch-black darkness. Through the crystal beaded curtain is a veil of endless whiteness and mist. In this hazy and dense fog, one could see the upright figure of a man undressing. A beautiful and charming view from behind. As the man turned around, you could feel his figure was superb. His countenance was handsome and cold. Thin lips curled and there was a grim laugh. Outside the curtain, a shadow suddenly flashed, standing as straight as a pine tree. The man in the bathing pool leisurely lifted his white and pure hands and his voice was cold and powerful, “Can you find?”
Outside the curtain, the subordinate cupped his hands, slightly lowered his head and dared not to look the man in bath in the eyes. Because when you glance at those hawk-like eyes, immediately, you are sure to be enticed by those cold and stern eyes and then you will begin to fear.
The man was apprehensive, his features becoming more and more afraid. Where did she run to? Did she truly disappear? In his heart a trace of worry bloomed. He leaned his head back, closed his eyes and reprimanded, “Continue searching. If you cant find her, then don’t bother coming back!”.
“Yes!” Shadows swept away from the window as fast as demons.
A little maid with a lantern came out late at night to get some air, but did not want to go to the villa’s attic. In the spirit of boredom, she snuck into the room. Because the light sound of the door being pushed, the bathing man didn’t notice. “Gosh, what a nice house!”, The maid in the outer room put down her lantern and looked around leisurely for a long time. She could see both another dresser and a dressing table. On the side of the dressing table was aan old fashioned sandalwood armchair. She sat down defenselessly and languidly stretched out her arms. This daring maid isn’t really a servant girl. Rather, she is a martial arts instructor from the modern times named teacher Shiyu, Li Shiyu.
Somehow, several days ago, she had actually traveled to this country she had never heard of and had become a poor peasant girl. Due to passing through she became afraid and was itching to escape Yunxi village. But unexpectedly, as soon as she escaped, she was tricked into becoming a maid at Sun and Moon Villa by a housekeeper of dubious background. Luckily, the reward is an ingot of gold. Not forgetting the shiny gold, even, if Li Shiyu was 100% upset in this Sun and Moon Villa, in the end it did not awaken her craving to escape from this place.
“If I had known earlier that this house was pretty good, I ought to immediately move here to live in it!”. Li Shiyu rubbed against her face and smiled at it in the bronze mirror. “Its not all that bad to pass through. At least this face is old enough, beautiful enough and cold enough”. “But why…… is she just a peasant girl? At least it should be a lady or something!”
When she recalled her identity of travelling through, she was invariably annoyed by her low self esteem. She had seen a lot of tv and movies about transmigrating, but had yet to see anyone as down on their luck as her. Boohoo, a peasant girl. “This nice of a place must be residence of a young lady, right! En, let’s go in and take a look”. Li Shiyu stood up talking to herself, and continued to explore the inner room with her lantern. Unexpectedly, she hit her head on the crystal bead curtain.
Following the sound of the curtain, the man in the bath suddenly woke up. A gloomy and powerful voice could be heard, “Who is it?!”. The voice was as sharp as a double-edged sword! Li shiyu looked carefully at the situation in the inner room with her lantern. Doesn’t look bad. Take a look down and run. This… This is unadulteratedly a picture of a beautiful man taking a bath!
