1 Prologue

"Stupid woman who knows nothing."

My ears twitched at the soft whisper sound. I can discern your figure clearly atop the tree branch. You call that hiding!?

All the trainings, survival lessons and guidance from the Secret Guards Institute from that world are finely embedded within me.

Your controlled breathing technique although at par with brother Instructor, but that faint aura you failed to suppress- No, it was flawlessly hidden away. Perhaps it was my heightened sensitivity against gazes that are filled with intents that I could pinpoint his location. I've always known it, he's definitely not a random traveller like he claimed he is.

During the past month I pretended to be a retard and clung to you like a chick... Your patient must have run dry.

'So this is where we part ways.'

My eyes lowered at the thought of walking the path of this world alone. Albeit it was nothing new - my favorability rating with him was not high. Regardless of how many observations and findings I've collected, the practical reality of romance is a high level of difficulty for me. How foolish I was to have been expecting our relationship would produce something during the times we spent together.

'I'm definitely...'

The last remnant of faint feeling that was lingering on my body finally left - he must have really left me alone now in this open wilderness. His figure was disappearing into the lush forest behind by the minute. What left was sheer coldness and emptiness brought by the night breeze.

I glanced up to the moon hanging low above the horizon. My dull eyes like a dead fish changed into the shade of amethyst - reflecting the stars and the moon above, the pair had become lively and full of intelligence.

"Qi Sha, maybe this fish is not for you. Don't give up and explore more, there are numerous worlds out there anyway.

Maybe someone's been waiting for all his life for you?"

It had been just one month since she arrived in this world and he was the only person she interacted with. Let's continue roaming around this world first.

The girl's hunched back was straightened as she heaved a deep breath. She took a journal from her knapsack.

"Observation findings #n [When entering the capital, dress yourself as a man. You'll be caught in no time as you caught yourself in an 'incident'.]"

The ends of her mouth finally turned up, making the previous paralyzed face radiating with excitement. Journey to obtain true love, I'll be restarting it with this world.

"Capital, here I go!"

One path forward is still a path forward.

Qi Sha wouldn't have thought that someone would run a mile towards her for one step she took forward towards him.

That would be the story for another day!
