Contract Marriage : Detective Novelist Falls into the Past

What would be your reaction if one day you wake up and find yourself in a completely different era, a completely different country and in the body of a person who looked just like you?? Alexis's life was going pretty normally until she finds herself transmigrated to the body of a girl who looked just like her and most importantly, the girl seemed to live a thousand years ago. And as if waking up as someone else was not enough, she finds herself betrothed to a man of whom she knew nothing. But his hazel eyes kept drawing her close to him and always seemed to offer a sense of familiarity. Since she didn't believe in love and there was no way she could get herself out of the marriage, she proposes a contract marriage with her would-be husband, which he readily accepts for his own reasons and out of curiosity to know what the woman who looked so simple yet mysterious was up to. Having lost her mother at a young age and a miserable childhood prompted her to steel her heart and stay a mile away from the matters of the heart. While looking around the next few days, she realizes that the place she seemed to have been transmigrated into was not as serene as it looked. A seemingly peaceful place was going to be the victim of one of the most treacherous schemes made by one greedy and vengeful man. But it seemed like this was just the tip of the ice berg. Days after her wedding, she finds that her biological father is working as the right hand man of this man and is helping him conspire against the royal family. ------------------------------------------------------------------ "The first clause states that no physical contact will be allowed without the consent of the other person, unless there is a life threatening situation.", she read out the first clause. "I agree.", the man replied calmly. Few weeks later. "Mo Ting Xiao!! What are you doing??!", Alexis yelled in shock as she found herself pinned on the wall. "Kissing my wife...", the man replied nonchalantly as he placed soft kisses on her slender neck. "You are breaching the contract!!" "The contract states that a life threatening situation is the exception. And now my heart his going to explode because of your beauty... So let me kiss you to save my life, wifey!!" With that said, without even giving her a chance to retort, he sealed her lips with his own. "...." Was this the same man who would turn red on being complemented by her. Since when did he become this shameless?? How come she never noticed it?? And before she knew it, she was kissing him back with the same intensity. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Seeing multiple schemes being made to harm the royal family, to which she was married into, how will Alexis protect everyone?? Will what started as a contract marriage, end up in love or hatred? What will happen when she discovers that there was something exceptional about her?? Something magical....

29. White lotus alert!!

# Ooh la la…. Some juicy drama coming up…. Vote if you are excited to see what will happen…. Adios, see you soon 😘😘 #

The next morning, Lu Chang Chang woke up as usual and freshened up. When she stepped out, she was greeted by Chu Chu.

" Good morning miss", she wished her with a bow. " Good morning Chu Chu", Lu Chang Chang wished her with a smile.

They then started walking towards the dining area. At that time, Lu Chang Chang was surprised hearing a woman's voice coming from the courtyard.

She walked towards the direction of the voice. It was surprising for her because the Yuan Zheng palace almost never had women other than maids in it before her. She was curious about the owner of the voice.

When she reached there, she saw a woman dressed in exquisite clothing trying to stick to Mo Ting Xiao with a soft and sensitive voice. Lu Chang Chang raised her eyebrows in amusement.

Though she was trying her best, Mo Ting Xiao seemed to be uninterested in her. Looking at the way the girl was acting, Lu Chang Chang easily guessed her true face. A white lotus.

She looked at Chu Chu and asked," Is that a white lotus Chu Chu??". Chu Chu looked at her master in confusion and asked," What does white lotus mean Miss??"

" Oh…. Well…. A white lotus is a woman who acts all innocent on the outside but is scheming and cunning on the inside…. By the way, who is she ???", Lu Chang Chang replied.

Chu Chu giggled after hearing Lu Chang Chang's explanation." You are right miss…. A white lotus… She is Mo Jia, a distant cousin of His Highness….

She has been visiting him for quite some time and has tried to get his attention…. But His Highness has always seen her as a sister… Every time she comes, she causes troubles for the maids working in the palace and mistreats us…", Chu Chu replied.

" Hmmm… Just inform me if she troubles any of you again", Lu Chang Chang hummed and replied. Looks like there will be some drama soon…. She thought.

She then casually walked towards the two of them.

Mo Ting Xiao was surprised when Liu Chen informed him that Mo Jia had come. He decided to welcome her personally. She had tried to approach him romantically a few times, but he always ruined her advances unknowingly.

He was quite troubled seeing the way she was trying to hang on his hand. He was looking around from time to time. He was worried if Lu Chang Chang would misunderstand their relationship.

As for Mo Jia, she had come for two reasons. First, was to get Mo Ting Xiao. And second, she had recently heard that he had gotten married. She wanted to see the woman who dared to steal her man away from her.

" Good morning your highness..", Lu Chang Chang wished him with a quick bow.

Mo Ting Xiao and Mo Jia were startled hearing her voice. He was way too concentrated in trying to free himself from Mo Jia's grip.

Taking the moment when Mo Jia was startled into his advantage, he freed himself from her grip and walked towards Lu Chang Chang.

Mo Jia was annoyed when Mo Ting Xiao left her for another woman. She scanned Lu Chang Chang from head to toe.

Lu Chang Chang was wearing a simple light blue hanfu and half of her hair was held up by a Jade hairpin. But even though Lu Chang Chang was dressed in relatively plain clothes, she looked ten times more beautiful than herself and she hated it.

When Mo Ting Xiao looked at Lu Chang Chang, he thought he would see anger in her eyes, but all he saw was a calm expression. Her eyes were telling that she trusted him. After all, she wasn't a fool to just fall into the girl's trap.

" Good morning Chang Chang…", he wished with a smile and pulled her closer to his side by her waist. Lu Chang Chang was startled, but didn't push him away.

" Chang Chang, meet Mo Jia, a cousin of mine… Jia Jia meet Lu Chang Chang, my wife and your sister in law.", he introduced them.
