1 Past Life (?)

It's a funny and ironic thing, you know, that she got her memories of her past life as she was walking the fine line of life and death.

Was it worth it?

She didn't think so.

Apart from few trivia and knowledge, she absolutely didn't remember anything. Her name, her family, her friends, she didn't remember a single thing.

It was probably also a blessing that she didn't remember how she died too.

"Young miss."

That was one thing she was apprehensive about in this new life. Apparently, she was the young miss of the Bai Family, one of the most powerful family in the city. The princess Bai Qian.

"Today's schedule is light yoga for further rehabilitation," the young girl, probably around my age, said as she poured a glass of water.

Tang Guo, her personal assistant slash caretaker, was picked up by Bai Qian when they were children. She vowed to follow Bai Qian after that.

"En," she lightly replied before turning her attention back to the tablet in her hand.

The second difference of this world to her world was displayed fully in front of her. The culture, to be exact, the arts were different. This included music, movies, even poetry.

According to her previous life's memory, around this year the music world is alredy dominated with electronica and synthetized music. Country and classic song became a rarity.

But here...

"Ah Guo, what's the current trending music genre?" she asked out of curiosity.

"Ah?" Tang Guo looked at her weirdly. "En, it should be soul music, or was it called blues? I'm not sure, but anyway, it's ballad type song."

"...no electronica?"

"Electronica? Ah, you mean those DJ music?" Tang Guo replied, nodding her head as if satisfied with something. "They are only suitable for clubbing, no?"

Yep, that settles it.

Having received the information she wanted, Bai Qian only muttered an "Oh" then turned away.

Tang Guo didn't inquire much. The doctor had said to her that due to the collision, there might be some memory blanks or weird behavior. After all, damage to the brain sometimes could only be seen when the patient is conscious.

Suddenly there was a knock.

Tang Guo went to receive it, talking in low whisper with the person beyond the door. However, the sudden tense in her body and the harsh tones of the whispers didn't escape Bai Qian.

"Ah Guo, who's at the door?"

Tang Guo straightened up and stiffly turned her head. "Young miss, Gentleman Feng is here to visit," she said with strained smile.

Feng Longming.

Majestic name, not so majestic individual.

According to the original's memory, Feng Longming and Bai Qian were childhood friends. The original Bai Qian was head over heels in love with him and would do everything to please the young man. She got into a quarrel with her parents countlessly thanks to the punk.

In fact, her situation right now was also indirectly caused by the up-coming visual kei singer.

Unfortunately for him, the current Bai Qian was not the same with the hopelessly in love Bai Qian of the past. She could clearly see the poisonous and, dare she said it, parasitic relationship between the two 'friends'.

Feng Longming also came from old money, but he resented the fact that his family ran a traditional hotel. On the other hand, the Bai family deals in trading and restaurants, the kind of glamorous family that he wanted.

Since childhood days, Feng Longming always acted selfishly fueled by his jealousy and demanded many things from the love struck Bai Qian. Blinded by her love, Bai Qian always did what he asked. She even supported him in the entertainment industry, becoming his golden master.

"Let him in," she wanted to see what the punk wanted this time.

"...yes, young miss."

Hey, you don't have to put such gloomy and resigned face, ah! This young miss of yours has reformed, ah!

"And let the Ye siblings in," she added as an afterthought, which seemed to be the right choice as Tang Guo brightened up considerably.

Oi, aren't you too open, Ah Guo?

The Ye siblings she referred to were the two brothers that acted as her bodyguard. They were also the same age as her and Tang Guo, with the same kind of background as Tang Guo - picked up by the original owner as a child.

In actuality, the original Bai Qian was not a bad character.

Though her brain is certainly average, she made up with diligence. But when Feng Longming was involved, her IQ dropped even further down the drain.

She was also quite the soft-hearted and open-minded person. She saved the three children - Tang Guo and the Ye siblings - with no ulterior motives other than saving a human's life. In fact, she treated them as family.

Maybe that's why they stayed by my side even though I was such a hopeless idiot, she mused.

Her musings were stopped when the door opened and three young men walked in. Even without relying on the original's memory, Bai Qian could easily guess which one was Feng Longming.

It was time to get serious.
