Circumventing Fate
When Lei Xing booked a luxurious cruise as a graduation present to herself, she expected to have plenty of well-deserved rest and relaxation with an ocean view before jumpstarting her career. What she did not expect was to be the unlucky person who would fall overboard to a miserable watery death… or so she thought. To her astonishment, she opened her eyes to find herself in an ancient setting, a different body, and a new life as the eldest daughter of a high court official. {...Okay, at least I'm rich...I can still live happily and freely, it's still a golden opportunity at a second life. I can live it well~...maybe go travelling, start a business, or something…It definitely could be worse...} To Lei Xing’s horror, her new host was scheduled to enter the palace to compete in the concubine selection for the new Emperor. {...What?! I am definitely not interested! Of all places, it’s that viper pit! I’m not built for any Royal BS or harem fights. Please keep your scheming lives to yourselves and leave me the hell out of it, NOT INTERESTED!!!... Can I not go, please? T_T)...No? Nevermind then, failure is always an option... Failure is the only possible outcome. Bring it on! Hahahaha…} While Lei Xing was making plans on how to skip out of town, fate was also very busy working out its own plans for her, mapping out its own course for her life behind the scenes... Poking holes in her plans to her confusion and outrage. "...Little chicken, as long as I'm alive you won't die." "Nonsense, if anyone is going to cause my death, it would be you!!" *** "Do you really feel nothing after all this time?" He asked as he looked at her with searching eyes, trying to see into her soul... "...Who...would..." she mumbled under her breath... *** "When things go against nature, there will always be a price that must be paid..." |||~~~~~~~~~~~||| Author's Note~~ Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the read as you go along!

Agent Leniency
Lei Xing woke up in the afternoon and simply laid there for a long while, taking the recent events of her life in as her eyes roamed around the room. She couldn't believe where she was and all the events of last night, but they happened and here she was, on his bed. She sighed and then sat up.
{...It is really reality haha...ha...ha O_O ')...}
Lei Xing sat up and glanced around for her clothes, which were thrown about randomly. She wrapped herself in the blanket. Even if she was alone, walking around naked was a bit much...Not to mention the added fact that there were servants outside, who could come in at any time.
And just as she thought, she had only taken a few steps when the doors opened. Lei Xing froze in her tracks, only too see it was Ah Jin and Xiao Ruo, who had a silly smile on her face. Lei Xing's face immediately flushed and she glared at Xiao Ruo, "Stop smiling."
