A five-year-old goddess, raised to become an emperor for all time through a bronze mirror.

The first rays of morning light shone through the curtains and fell on the phoenix bronze mirror, reflecting a soft glow.

Pei Yunjing's reflection in the mirror appeared somewhat pale and tired.

Niannian slowly woke up at this moment, her eyes still a little blurry from just waking up.

Seeing Pei Yunjing sitting in front of the mirror, she asked softly, "Brother Yunjing, didn't you sleep all night?"

Pei Yunjing gave Niannian a gentle smile, trying to make his voice sound relaxed:

"No, I just got up early to prepare some things for the morning court session!"

Niannian slowly sat up from the soft, comfortable bed, her beautiful eyes gazing at him with concern, and softly asked:

"Brother Yun Jing, you don't look well. Did you not sleep well last night?"

For some reason, she felt that her brother Yun Jing had been acting increasingly strangely lately.

Pei Yunjing shook his head slightly, a reassuring smile appearing on his lips, and said softly:

"Don't worry, Niannian, I'm really fine. Today is an important day for you to register for high school;"

You must be fully focused and happily embrace your new school life!

In fact, keeping these emotions buried deep in his heart and silently hiding them might be the best choice for both of them.

At this moment, a faint expectation lingered deep within his heart;

It's like a child who finally mustered up the courage to take the first step, but before even trying, easily gave up.

......

Hearing Pei Yunjing say this, Niannian nodded obediently, but her clear, watery eyes still couldn't hide her deep worry for Pei Yunjing.

However, she knew this wasn't the time to press for answers, so she softly replied:

"Okay... I'll go wash up first..."

Before she finished speaking, she was seen running towards the bathroom in her cute pink slippers, ready to wash her face and brush her teeth.

After Niannian left the room, Pei Yunjing slowly stood up and walked steadily to the window.

He stood there quietly, gazing out the window at the bustling, verdant bamboo grove.

A gentle breeze rustled the bamboo leaves, as if they were whispering some secret.

At this moment, Pei Yunjing's heart was like a calm lake, without the slightest ripple.

Recalling the dreamlike scene from last night, it was like a magical mirror that could see into people's hearts.

It revealed without reservation the most hidden and unknown emotions deep within his heart.

He knew that no matter how painful it was, he had to face his true feelings; Pei Yunjing took a deep breath and decided to bury that unspeakable emotion deep in his heart.

Forget it, now is not the time to think about this...

He told himself that as Nian Nian's brother, his responsibility was to protect her and support her, not to let his feelings become a burden to her.

Suddenly, Jiu Sheng's urgent and loud voice came from outside the door: "Reporting—Master, Miss Shen requests an audience..."

The sound was like a thunderclap, exploding in the silent room.

Pei Yunjing was lost in his own thoughts when he heard these words, and his heart skipped a beat.

It was like a huge rock being thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating a huge storm.

He couldn't help but frown, pondering to himself, "Why is she here? What could she possibly want?" Countless questions flooded his mind, leaving him somewhat at a loss for what to do.

………………

Time slipped by unnoticed, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The scene then shifted to the modern era—the entrance to the First Middle School.

The sunlight spilled onto the ground, like a layer of golden gauze.

Fifteen-year-old Nian Nian is like the rising sun, radiating endless vigor and vitality.

Her hair was tied high in a ponytail, and the black strands shimmered with a healthy sheen in the dazzling sunlight, like bright stars in the night sky.

Her fair face radiated a bright, youthful smile, as beautiful and captivating as a flower blooming in spring.

Those clear, watery eyes were like two sparkling gems, revealing a pure and innocent heart untouched by the world.

At this moment, her eyes looked around curiously, filled with a sense of novelty towards everything around her.

Niannian was wearing the school uniform of No. 1 Middle School. The blue and white polo shirt was well-tailored, simple and elegant.

The collars were neatly turned up, and the meticulously embroidered school logo on the chest was particularly eye-catching, highlighting its orderly style and exuding a strong campus atmosphere.

She paired it with a dark blue pleated skirt, the hem of which fell just above her knees, perfectly showcasing her slender and long legs.

He wore a pair of spotless, snow-white sneakers, giving him a clean and neat appearance.

Niannian carried a beige backpack on her shoulder. The backpack had no extra decorations on its surface, making it simple and practical.

The backpack straps were adjusted just right, neither too tight nor too loose, so that the backpack fit snugly against her back.

Her slender and upright figure stood quietly at the school gate, like a fresh, elegant, and beautiful lily, becoming a striking and beautiful sight on campus.

Many male students passing by were drawn to the spot and couldn't help but stop, just to catch another glimpse of this beautiful and outstanding girl.

Beside her stood Old Master Fu, his face filled with concern and worry.

He whispered, "Niannian, if you encounter any trouble during your school years, don't be stubborn!"

Just call your grandpa and tell him, don't try to handle it all by yourself..."

Although the Fu family did not hold any shares in this No. 1 High School, it is renowned for its rich, diverse, high-quality, and efficient high school teaching resources.

Compared to the somewhat rigid and inflexible teaching methods of other ordinary high schools, this place is undoubtedly more distinctive and attractive.

That's why Niannian ultimately decided to start her high school career here.

However, there was another reason why Mr. Fu was so worried.

He knew that campus life was not always smooth sailing, especially the rumors about isolated and extreme cases of school bullying, which terrified him.

Grandpa Fu was really worried that his timid and cowardly daughter might not be able to withstand the immense psychological pressure and do something foolish if she were to encounter such a situation.

However, this time, Old Master Fu was clearly overthinking things.

Niannian is no longer the weak and easily bullied little girl she once was.

Through the trials and tribulations of time and growth, her personality has become increasingly strong and decisive; to put it somewhat inappropriately, nowadays it's considered quite good if she doesn't actively provoke others!

Just then, suddenly...
