In their world, Jiang Mingyue is a promising female physician, serving the Crown Princess to find a cure for a dormant poison in the Princess's body. In their world, Yang Yun is a promising captain of an Elite soldier. He vowed to love and protect Mingyue all his life. Until an incident tore them apart. The two were separated into two different worlds. He pledged to search for her no matter how long it’ll take him, no matter how many dimensions he had to travel to. But when he finally found her again, she had no memories of him. What else can he do but to work hard and win her heart back? ----- “First of all, I don’t believe in reincarnation.” “I’m not saying anything about reincarnation.” “Then what?” she raised a brow. “Time traveling? Are you sure you haven’t been watching too much sci-fi?” She pursed her lips when he didn’t say anything. “Let’s see,” she flicked across the pages. She watched him nodded and shook her head in disbelief. “You’re out of your mind.” She stood up and leaned towards him to place her hand on his forehead. He flinched. “What are you doing?” “Checking to see if you had a fever,” she said with a sigh. “But you seem healthy.” “I’m not sick.” “I know.” “I’m not crazy.” Yang Yun closed his eyes when she looked at him in doubt. He had been searching for her for years. And right now, the love of his life was standing right in front of him. But she doesn’t seem to remember him. It was as if her memories of the past, the memories of him have all been forgotten. She lifted her hand, and her fingers rested on his cheek. “I like you, Yang Yun.” She drew her hand and frowned. “But I don’t understand why you keep telling me about these stories. Why are you forcing me to accept this?” She closed her eyes briefly. “Sometimes, I wonder if you really like me, or am I just a substitute to someone you knew in your past.” ----- Author's Note: The main genre of this story is Romance.

Year 18xx
In a faraway country called Da Cheng.
Jiang Mingyue panted as she ran downhill. Her legs were getting tired from running down the hill. Something went past her. Her eyes widened when she saw an arrow stuck on the tree. "They're shooting at us!" She glanced at the man beside her angrily when she heard his merry laugh.
"We stole something valuable from them," Jiang Xiao Liang said, "Of course, they're angry."
Mingyue sneered. "Third brother! This wouldn't happen if you were more cautious. Now we are forced to leave this place without even getting our hand on those herbs."
"We'll come back again." Xiao Liang said. "We'll be more prepared."
"So will they. They will be guarding the herbs tightly after this." She glanced at their pursuers.
Xiao Liang laughed again. "Keep running and stop talking."
Jiang Mingyue gritted her teeth as she complied. Then, she noticed that something was missing. "Have you seen Xiao Mi?"
Her third brother raised a brow. "That black cat? Don't worry about him. He'll be safe. He's just a cat."
"We need to split up," Xiao Liang said after a few more arrow went passed them. "I'll meet you up at the foothill." With that, he ran to his right and disappeared behind the trees.
Mingyue grunted as she sensed that half of their pursuer went after Xiao Liang. She heard a sound coming from behind them and moved slightly to her left, but her movement was a bit too late.
An arrow struck to her right arms. She clenched her teeth and held the weapon to stop it from moving around as she increased her speed.
It was in autumn. The weather was too hot, and the leaves have started to fall. Whenever they stepped on the fallen leaves, they would make a rustling sound, causing it hard for her to hide her presence from their pursuer.
She glanced behind to take a look around and once she was sure that the people who were left behind, only then she sneaked behind a tree.
She broke the arrow tail and held a hand on her chest, wanting to calm down. She can't be safe until she gets out from the hill. Only then will she be able to remove the arrow.
Just as she hid, she saw a shadow flew towards her direction. "Xiao Mi! You're here!" she hissed through her teeth.
The shadow flew towards her, and a cat landed on her arm with his nails gripping on her cloth.
In the cat's mouth was a small pouch.
Her eyes twinkled as she saw it. She peeked into the bag and smiled. It was the pouch she dropped while they ran away.
"You got them! Good job, Xiao Mi!" Her voice was hushed. She patted the cat on its head and pulled out a bag of treat from her pocket as a reward.
