What year is it?

After a full 30 minutes of sulking in a cubicle, Rulin realised how pathetic she was. She stood up and wiped her tears off with her white pure silk napkin, silently thanking herself for never wearing makeup.

She walked out of the cubicle and looked at herself in the mirror. The woman that she saw was actually beautiful. Li Rulin had a set of beautiful big hazel coloured eyes that turned nearly golden when the sun hit them or when she smiled. She had a very sharp jawline, sharp nose and high cheekbones. Since she had rarely smiled in her entire lifetime, no one knew that she actually had a dimple at both sides of her luscious lips which were always as pink as her cheeks even without lipstick. No only did she have a pretty face, Rulin also had a dreamy hourglass figure under her blazer and pants which she never had to work for and creamy, white skin The more she looked at herself, the more she hated her parents. She could have had a very fruitful junior college and university life if her parents had not force her into being so advanced that even the university lecturers could not teach her anything she didn't know when she reached primary 6.

If only I could turn back time to primary school.

At that thought, Rulin tied her hair up into a neat bun and walked out of the bathroom with elegance and pride, as if she had not just spent forty minutes in the toilet.

After tirelessly looking through more than a hundred reports and proposals in her huge, office, Rulin stacked the proposals into piles of ones that would succeed and ones that would not, and the reports into piles of ones that she deemed acceptable and ones that she deemed not. After completing her . task, she checked the time on the diamond Chopard watch that was sitting on her wrist. it was 11 pm, her workaholic self has caused her to work 5 hours extra again. Rulin thought about going home but gave up on that idea when she thought about how long and time consuming that would be just to sleep. Rulin pressed a button on her table that opened a secret door on the wall of her office that lead to a master bedroom easily the size of 500square feet, with a luxury bathroom and a king size bed and a walk-in wardrobe filled with billions of dollars worth of clothes. Rulin took off her clothes and slipped into a mulberry silk bathrobe and after preparing a rose petal bath in the enormous bathtub, she took off the bathrobe and climbed into the bath.

As the warm water hugged her body, all the thoughts that ran through her mind earlier in the say rushed back to her.

The next morning, Rulin woke up to the sound of a familiar voice urging her to wake up. Ruling groggily opened her eyes which then flew open upon realising that she was not in the bathtub that she remembered falling asleep in. She sat swiftly, scaring the poor maid who almost dropped the silver tray that she was holding. Rulin looked around her room and saw that she was in her old bedroom of her family mansion. Confused, she looked at the maid who had woken her up and realised that she was Lian Yiqun, a very friendly maid that had served Rulin for a long time. But, Rulin thought to herself in confusion, she dies a year after I left the mansion!

Realising that something was off, Rulin asked Yiqun," What year is it?" when Yiqun heard her question, she was very confused bu answered anyways in a very neutral tone," Its 2019 miss, is there something wrong?"

2019.

10 years ago.

One week before her birthday.

She has travelled back in time.

She is now 18 years old.
