The strong wind blew as heavy rain fell from the thundering skies. 

The future crown princess of the Tufan Kingdom, as well as the eldest daughter of the Su family, was found paralyzed among the ruins. 

Pain...

The tearing pain made Su Qianchen regain her consciousness, and the raindrops that fell upon her sobered her up. 

Two strains of memories clashed within her brain, and rubbed against each other before merging into one.

As a professor of the secret medical research institute of Country H, she was supposed to die with that person during the explosion in the white building. To her surprise, she had time-travelled into the past and had become the eldest daughter of a family in the ancient times. 

It seemed as if she had survived, but it also seemed as if she were about to die again soon. 

"I didn't expect you to survive from falling off a cliff!" a voice sounded. 

As the impatient and brutal tone entered Su Qianchen's ears, she opened her eyes, only to see a man dressed in black stepping on her palm and raising his sword. 

"Not only are you cheap, Su Qianchen, you're stupid as well! If you had chosen to let my mistress have the position of the future Crown Princess earlier, I could've spared your cheap life!" he said. 

The sharp blade created a cut on Su Qianchen's mud-covered face. It was painful, waking her up even more!

As the lightning sparked, it seemed as if it were day time around them. 

The grass around them was overgrown, and scratch marks that seemed to be made by beasts were engraved into the walls of the cliff. 

Su Qianchen caught sight of an inconspicuous piece of grass and was stunned. Was that a piece of Double-edged Grass?! 

Its sap had the ability to treat external injuries, but no one dared to pick it as it grew in strange locations and had sharp thorns all over its stem and leaves. 

Back when she read about it in medical books, she had thought that they were just a myth. And yet, she saw it with her own eyes that day!

"What, are you afraid to speak now that you know that you're about to die?" Seeing that Su Qianchen remained silent with her eyes gaped open, he carried on scorning at her. 

"Ha..." A smirk appeared on Su Qianchen's face. Covered in mud, Su Qianchen lifted her scar-filled face. Her trembling voice was cold and vicious as she retorted, "Does your mistress know that you're this stupid?" 

Since he had already mentioned his mistress, what was the point of him hiding his identity?

"You're looking for death!" he yelled. 

The man in black lifted his sword, then slashed it towards her neck. 

"Hoo.... hooo..." The wind blew. 

The surrounding trees swayed forcefully with the strong wind, and the falling rain was blown to a different direction. The sounds of the wind colliding with the cliff sounded like roars of beasts. 

The body of the man in black swayed as the wind blew. As he turned his face slightly, Su Qianchen took the opportunity to move her body to the side. 

"Pshh!" A sound was heard. 

The sword was stabbed into her body, and blood flowed out like a river. 

The man in black withdrew his sword. He gave Su Qianchen, who did not seem to respond, a few kicks, then bent over to check her pulse.

Her pulse was weak, and her breaths were faint. It seemed as if she could no longer be saved. 

He said proudly, "From this day onwards, my mistress shall be the Crown Princess of Tufan Kingdom! Uhhh...!!" 

The man in black, who felt prideful a second ago, held onto his bleeding neck the second. His eyes that were hidden by his mask were gaped open in shock. 

The Double-edged Grass that was previously among the ruins had stabbed through his neck!

Su Qianchen, who had been "proclaimed" dead, opened her eyes once again. Pretending to be dead was as easy as pie to her. 

"Bang...!" A sound came from next to her. 

The man in black held onto his neck as he fell onto the ground next to Su Qianchen. "You, how dare you use the Double-edged grass? Ar-aren't you afraid of crippling your hand?" 

Su Qianchen took a look at the deep wound on her hand that the Double-edged Grass had left. With a cold voice, she said, "Why would I be? It'd be better than dying." 

The man in black was anxious and fearful, and gurgling sounds came from his throat as he spoke, "My mistress is Lin Fengya, the eldest disciple of the Tianxiang Clan. She'd never let you off like that."

He spoke too much nonsense. 

Su Qianchen took the Double-edged grass out, then stabbed it back into the same wound. 

The grass penetrated through his wound, and blood splattered out of it.

She looked at the breathless man in black coldly, then nodded lightly. Lin Fengya was the mistress' name, huh? She took note of it. 

She had to return this "valuable gift".

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." a sound came from behind her. 

It was the chuckle of a man. He said, "What a gory scene." 

His hoarse voice seemed a little lazy, but it was inexplicably captivating as well. 

Su Qianchin turned around and looked towards the voice. A tall figure appeared among the rain and fog.

"Who is it?" she yelled.
