In the 23rd century, there was a corner coffee shop in Shanghai.

A girl with a delicate face was answering the phone in a depressed mood.

"Hatsune, you haven't found a job yet?"

"No, How about you?"

"Same! I heard Xiaoya received an offer from Company X yesterday."

There was endless silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long pause, Ruan Chuyin suppressed her shock and asked, "Company X is notorious for its 996 work schedule. Does Xiaoya mind?"

"Hatsune, Xiaoya said that Company X has now implemented a 007 work system. But the salary is high, and there's an extra housing allowance, which makes up for the regret of being a 007."

"Can her body handle it?" Ruan Chuyin thought Wu Ya was crazy, finding a job more tiring than working as a donkey in the production team.

"Hatsune, we're not as pretty as you, so even if we don't find a job, we won't have trouble marrying into a good family. You know Wu Ya's family situation. Her parents originally promised to send her abroad after she graduated, but her brother failed the college entrance exam, so the opportunity to study abroad fell on him. I heard that Xiaoya's brother applied to G University in Country M, and his family spent a huge amount of sponsorship fees to get him in, not even covering basic tuition and daily expenses. If she doesn't work hard now, she might only have a few quilts as a dowry in the future."

Zhang Keyi replied, lying on the bed with a look of despair on her face. She didn't have Ruan Chuyin's beauty, nor Wu Ya's luck. She planned to learn from Zeng Jing and continue her studies, perhaps even securing a teaching position at the university after graduation.

"Let's talk later when we get back. I haven't had lunch yet."

Ruan Chuyin felt even more depressed as she listened to her best friend's suffocating arguments.

She was the only customer in the cafe, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

She sighed deeply, resignedly turned her gaze back to her laptop, propped up her chin with one hand, and continued to browse various recruitment websites with empty eyes, looking for job opportunities.

An hour later, Ruan Chuyin rubbed her Jingming acupoint and closed her laptop, feeling like crying: Why is it so difficult to find a nine-to-five job close to home?

She'd recently received several interview calls, but the locations were often far from her home or had different workdays. Yesterday morning, she finally found an offer from a company close to home that wasn't competitive. But when she asked about the salary, it was 4,600 yuan, a significant drop from the tax threshold. Her heart sank, and she couldn't sleep well that night.

Why not join the ranks of those taking the postgraduate entrance exam like Zeng Jing? Who knows, once you graduate, the situation will be fantastic, with opportunities aplenty.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt tired, yawned, and quickly fell asleep on her laptop. In the haze, her body seemed to become lighter, like a feather floating in the air, with an indescribable sense of comfort.

Time freezes.

Ruan Chuyin's body was slowly becoming clear until it completely disappeared in the cafe.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already in a deep sea of ​​bamboo.

She stood up and rubbed her eyes hard, looking around. There was no one around. Tears flowed down her cheeks like pearls and fell to the mud. An indescribable feeling of helplessness and fear came over her heart.

"Is anyone here? Is there anyone here?" She put her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly.

The only answer she got was the echo that was clear to her ears and lingered for a long time.

The bamboo forest was very large, and Ruan Chuyin walked for a long time but couldn't get out of this unfamiliar place. The high heels on her feet felt like pins and needles when walking on the bumpy hard mud ground, so she had to take them off and forcefully pry off the heels.

I spread out my palms, and the red color burned my eyes, and tears flowed down my face again.

"Why, why is this happening? Where on earth is this place?"

In her blurred vision, she saw a straight narrow path in the distance. In an instant, it was as if she had grabbed the last straw to save her life. She ignored the pain in her feet and ran towards the road of hope like crazy.

The ground was covered with gravel, making it harder to walk on than the bumpy dirt. The road stretched long, and from a distance, the towering green bamboos on both sides seemed to tower over the sky.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves echoed behind him. Looking back, he saw two tall and handsome horses stretching their necks and neighing loudly, while the carriage behind them was shaken violently and was about to fall.

The horse's strong and powerful legs were raised higher than Ruan Chuyin herself. Her eyes went dark and she fainted on the spot.

After waking up, what caught my eye were the crisscrossing roof beams above my head.

Everything around me seemed so strange and eerie. The quaint house was empty, filled only by a row of bookcases, an eight-person table, and the wooden bed beneath me.

With a "creaky" sound, a young man with a bun on his head walked in carrying a food tray.

He was stunned at first when he saw Ruan Chuyin wake up, but then he became ecstatic. He quickly put down the food tray and ran to the bed and said nervously, "My lady, Doctor Zhang just applied medicine to your feet. You can't get out of bed. Lie down quickly."

Apply medicine?

Ruan Chuyin looked down at her feet. Her fair white toes were swollen like ten fat carrots.

She widened her almond eyes, unable to believe her eyes.

"Doctor Zhang said that your feet became like this because they came into contact with green ants. The medicine at Jishantang is very effective. It will be healed in two days, so don't worry." After saying that, he turned around and brought the porridge and side dishes on the food table.

"Excuse me, were you the one who saved me?" Ruan Chuyin looked at the young man's clothes and felt a bad premonition. Could she have traveled through time?

"My lady, it was my young master who saved you. You suddenly ran out on the official road today and almost hit our carriage, which scared me and my young master. My name is Yu Yu, you can call me A Yu." Yu Yu gently stirred the porridge with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and handed it to Ruan Chuyin's mouth.

"Thank you, I can do it myself." Ruan Chuyin took the bowl, stared at the slightly yellowish clear soup inside, hesitated for a moment, and put it in her mouth.

It's a taste that's hard to describe. The sweet aroma of rice is tinged with a strong fishy smell, a smell that's a bit like undercooked fish soup or chicken soup coated in chicken fat.

She had never eaten such disgusting porridge before. Her stomach was churning and she couldn't help but bend down hard to try to suppress the nausea in her throat.

"Is it not tasty? I'll make you something else?" Yu Yu asked anxiously. He and the young master had arrived in a hurry, and many things were not yet purchased. Even the rice in the lady's bowl had to be bought with two copper coins given to Aunt Zhang next door.

"No, no, it's delicious. Maybe I've been hungry for too long and have a little indigestion. Also, you... don't have to call me your daughter." Ruan Chuyin felt something was amiss when she heard this address. In order not to trouble Yu Yu any more, she took a deep breath and drank two more gulps.

After her stomach warmed up, she started chatting with the young man. However, the more they talked, the more frightened she became, and her responses became more cautious.

This is a continent with more men than women.

The world is divided into nine provinces, and Xiaohe Village, where she is currently located, is located next to Wushui Town in Dayong State. It is a small mountain village with only sixty households.

The benefactor who saved her was named Qin Guanzhi. He was originally the son of a wealthy family in Liangcheng, the capital. He was kicked out of his home because he refused the marriage arranged by his parents and came to settle here. He went to the town to sell his carriage early this morning.

Ruan Chuyin felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. The master and servant were already poor, and now she had to feed them. She felt like a thorn in their side and was in a state of anxiety.

"Ayu, how much did you pay for my medical treatment?"

Now the most valuable things on her body are the gold-plated hairpin on her head and the ruby ​​ring on her right hand. I wonder how much silver she can get from pawning it here?

Upon hearing this, Yu Yu knew Ruan Chuyin had misjudged him, and his eyes immediately turned red with rage. He hadn't meant to disdain the young lady, but he was worried she would dislike him living in this shabby house with the young master, so he mentioned the young master's trip to town to sell the carriage. He just wanted the young lady to know that the young master was rich and that following him wouldn't be a burden.

Just then, the sound of a door opening was heard in the front yard.

"Sister Ruan, it must be the young master who has returned. Lie down first and don't think too much. The young master and I will come to see you later."

Before Ruan Chuyin could react, he had already run out of the room.
