After a car accident, Susan's soul slowly woke up, and she surprisingly found herself in the Tang Dynasty - a thousand years ago.
Ruan Ruoruo, a daughter of a merchant family in Chang'an, was bullied by the main wife and her daughter due to her illegitimate birth. They forced her into an undesirable marriage with a licentious young man. In order to resist this unhappy fate, she decided to hang herself with a white rope to end her life. However, fate had other plans as Susan's wandering soul entered her body, taking her place to continue her life. How will this journey unfold?
The new Ruan Ruoruo certainly wouldn't obey the "parents' orders" and be arranged to marry a "domestic violence man" from the Tang Dynasty. She decided that discretion is the better part of valor and fled from the Ruan residence first.
With this escape, a series of amusing stories began...
"In Separation We Meet Again" Part 1
Susan, 24 years old, unmarried, worked as a clerk in the credit department of a bank, with a nine-to-five work schedule for five days a week. Her salary wasn't particularly generous, but it allowed her to live quite comfortably. A typical urban career woman. Last night, she attended a party where most attendees were familiar friends. The atmosphere was harmonious, and in her excitement, she couldn't help but drink a few more cups. This morning, she woke up still feeling the effects of a hangover. After washing her face with cold water to clear her mind, she quickly changed her clothes and rushed off to work.

"On a bright day, I merely called your name, why did you jump so much?" Ruan Ruolong said with a smirk, asking while observing Ruan Ruoruo. He saw her disoriented eyes, her flushed face from running fast, and the skirt she still held up high. Under the skirt were her bare feet, her ankles sparkling with a few strands of grass clinging to them. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Although she was revived, her personality has changed a lot. She always stays silent and has forgotten many things from before. She doesn't even remember me anymore. Originally, among the guests at Huayuelou, she ignored everyone except me, treating me differently." Ruan Ruoruo understood. It seemed that the original Shuibing Qing had feelings for Ruan Ruolong. They might have already sworn eternal vows privately. But now, Shuibing Qing had been replaced by someone else, causing Ruan Ruolong to become heartbroken.

As soon as Ruan Ruoruo returned to the residence, she was scolded fiercely by Master Ruan. After the scolding, she was ordered to copy "Nüjie," this time doubling the amount to six hundred copies. Master Ruan, glaring and puffing his cheeks, insisted that this time she would not get away without finishing. Not a single word less would be tolerated. He would come to "inspect" the work himself, and she would not be allowed to step out of her room until it was done.

Yao Jizong must have just finished eating and drinking in one of the private rooms. He was already about eight or nine-tenths drunk, with only a little sobriety left, allowing him to stagger out on his own. Somehow, through his drunken haze, he recognized Ruan Ruoruo and started pestering her again. Ruan Ruoruo was getting a massive headache; Yao Jizong was never easy to deal with, and when drunk, he became even more difficult. Why did she keep running into him? If this was called fate, then it was truly a karmic relationship.

After dismissing Xing'er from the room, Ruan Ruoruo briefly mentioned yesterday's events to Yao Jizong. Upon hearing, he was almost beating his chest in regret, lamenting, "Such good opportunities, how could you not seize any of them? Both of these men are rare finds. One is a golden bachelor, the other a wealthy tycoon. If I were you, I'd want both. Eat at Li's house, sleep at Yu's house, enjoy both material and spiritual pleasures."

Ruan Ruoruo, who had always kept love at arm's length, suddenly felt like a sleeping princess awakened by a prince's kiss, discovering that what woke her after a thousand years of slumber was such a pure and beautiful love. Her romance with Li Lue was currently completely underground, known only to Yao Jizong. She had stated that she would give Li Lue a three-month probation period, and only after passing would they officially announce their relationship. Li Lue didn't understand what a probation period was, so Yao Jizong explained it to him. After understanding, he exclaimed, "In your twenty-first century, why are things so complicated? Do you really need to test if something is feasible?"

That evening at the hour of Hai, Ruan Ruoruo did not go out. Li Lue was angry, and she was even angrier, feeling that Li Lue was too immature, shouting at her over trivial matters. "Hmph, I was thinking of promoting you after the three-month probation period, but with this kind of performance, it's necessary to extend the probation period," she thought bitterly.

It was a refreshing autumn morning. Near and far, the forests were filled with golden parasol tree leaves, crimson persimmon leaves, evergreen pines and cypresses, and newly purpled wax trees. The autumn mountains were clean and bright, beautifully adorned. Li Lue arrived outside the courtyard, captivated by the picturesque scenery. Ruan Ruoruo came out laughing and pushed him gently, saying, "Hurry up and freshen up! You'll have plenty of time to enjoy the good scenery while chopping wood on the mountain later."
