The Cold-Hearted Princess Who Transmigrated Here

More than ten days later, Xiao Yiran turned one month old.

However, due to Xia Yi's persistent insistence, she had to stay in confinement for another ten days.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Wang Xiyue hurriedly packed her luggage and left Xia Yi's residence.

After saying goodbye to Xia Yi, her first stop was a mountain resort with natural hot springs.

She chose this place because she desperately wanted to take a good, relaxing shower!

During this period, all the running around, childbirth, and postpartum care made her feel dirty and uncomfortable all over, as if her whole body was covered in dust and grime.

Because she was always on the go and didn't have the chance, she kept suppressing her obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Now that she's unloaded the cargo, she's truly free.

As she stepped into the steaming hot spring pool, a warm current instantly enveloped her body. She gently closed her eyes, fully enjoying the comfort and tranquility.

Then, she picked up a towel and carefully rubbed her whole body several times.

Each rubbing and rinsing seemed to take away some of her fatigue, allowing her to gradually rediscover her refreshed and clean self.

After a thorough washing and grooming, Wang Xiyue finally stepped out of the bath. She felt incredibly relaxed, as if she had just washed away several pounds of filth.

She now feels like she has lost a lot of weight and feels as light as a feather.

At that moment, she took a deep breath, savoring the wonderful feeling of the fresh air filling her lungs. This feeling was like being reborn, instantly brightening her mood.

At the same time, the entanglements and troubles that had plagued her for the past year seemed to disappear without a trace, as if the dirt had been washed away by the hot spring water.

At that moment, she made her decision.

From now on, she will no longer hide anything; she will face the world with her true self and bravely meet every challenge of the future.

After her memory was fully restored, the blue water droplet mark on her chest disappeared. No matter how much water she soaked in it, it would not reappear. She guessed that it must have been the seal on her memory.

As for that powerful force, it always appeared when her emotions were at their peak. But after she completely absorbed it that night in the secret room, she discovered the next day that the mark had not disappeared; instead, it was deeply imprinted on her forehead.

This mysterious flame mark seemed to be innate, inextricably linked to her flesh and blood, and could not be erased.

Prior to this, in order to avoid attracting attention and causing unnecessary trouble, she had been covering it up with disguise materials.

However, she no longer intends to hide her true self.

Because she knew that whether in the past or the present, whether in this life's Dongfang Yu and the Prime Minister's Mansion, or in her past life's sad events and desperate memories, they were all an indispensable part of her life.

She accepts everything she has experienced with equanimity, whether it be the joys and sorrows or the various entanglements.

She is a unique individual!

She is both Wang Xiyue in this life and Wang Xiyue in the previous life!

She is not afraid of the future! She is not afraid of the past!

She will repay those who love her; she will abandon those who hate her!

Only you can control your own destiny and become the master of your own life!

She wants to give her daughter a bright future, so even if the road ahead is rugged and full of thorns, she will not back down and will not be afraid!

Whether Dongfang Yu loves her or not, she can do as she pleases!

If he truly betrays her one day, then losing her is his loss, and she shouldn't punish herself for someone else's mistake!

At this moment, Wang Xiyue suddenly remembered her favorite TV series from her past life.

She remembered Jinmi's love tribulation.

The Flower Goddess believed that by giving Jinmi the Fallen Pill, she could prevent her from experiencing a love tribulation by severing her emotional attachments.

However, it was precisely because of her early intervention that her daughter's love life was full of hardships, and she eventually died and her soul dissipated. If it weren't for Jinmi's kindness and the protection she received from the incense ash, she would not have been able to reincarnate.

Wang Xiyue now deeply understands this feeling, as she herself had been in the same state of mind for the past year, believing that cutting off her relationship with Dongfang Yu in advance would prevent possible future betrayal.

However, nothing she does now can change that future, because the future is predetermined.

If Dongfang Yu truly loves her, no matter where she hides, he will spend his entire life searching for her, no matter how long it takes. She believes that they will eventually be able to love and stay together, because she also truly loves him and cannot let him go. As long as he doesn't let go, she hasn't truly left.

If Dongfang Yu doesn't love her enough, even if she doesn't leave, it won't be long before he finds another woman, and she will eventually leave in despair!

This is just like her previous life. The man's betrayal and hurt didn't happen after marriage, but before marriage. It's just that she couldn't stop the damage in time.

Because she had given all her love, it was difficult to sever all ties at once. It took her several years to gradually take back the love she had once given.

Jinmi's last words before her death also left a deep impression on Wang Xiyue: "From love arises sorrow, from love arises fear; if the heart holds love, what fear is there of sorrow and fear!"

My love is worthy of my parents, my friends, my husband, my children, the people, everyone, and even heaven and earth, so I have no fear!

Abandoning or hurting me is always someone else's fault!

Having completely broken free from the shackles in her heart, Wang Xiyue felt that her mind and body were now truly relaxed. After figuring things out, she had more confidence in facing anything from now on.

In order not to worry her parents and to return home as soon as possible, Wang Xiyue had to hurry.

So, around three o'clock that afternoon, the carriage she had rented finally arrived at the Guozhao Temple.

Wang Xiyue found her junior disciple Kong Yuan and asked him to arrange a proper room for her. After he helped her unload her luggage, it was almost five o'clock.

After her daughter had eaten, she skillfully picked up the soft swaddle blanket, gently wrapped her daughter up tightly, and carefully tied the back cover to ensure that her daughter could be comfortably and safely tied to her front.

She felt that the way she carried the baby in her previous life was very good. With the child fixed on her body, her hands were free, so she wouldn't be helpless in the face of any situation.

After getting everything in order, Wang Xiyue took a deep breath, hugged her daughter tightly, and quickly headed towards her master's residence.

Along the way, a gentle breeze caressed her hair, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, bathing them in what seemed like a golden veil over the mother and daughter.

Now that her mindset has changed and she has a daughter, Wang Xiyue feels happy doing anything. It feels so good to have someone by her side at times like this!

Finally, half an hour later, Wang Xiyue arrived at the familiar thatched cottage.

This small courtyard, which once held countless memories for her, now looks even more dilapidated.

Much of the thatch on the roof has weathered and fallen off, and the walls are mottled and cracked due to the erosion of time. The whole courtyard feels like it is about to collapse in the wind, just like an old man who is old and frail.

With mixed feelings, Wang Xiyue slowly pushed open the creaking gate, carried her daughter, and walked into the yard, her steps growing heavier.

The closer Wang Xiyue got to the cabin, the more inexplicably uneasy she felt.

The cabin was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.

Master Zhishang was sitting upright on a futon, his eyes closed and his hands clasped together, meditating intently.

As Wang Xiyue's footsteps drew closer, Master Zhishang seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes.

When his gaze fell upon Wang Xiyue and the baby in her arms, he was slightly taken aback and felt a sense of relief, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Master, your disciple has returned.” Wang Xiyue stepped forward, knelt respectfully on both knees, and then kowtowed deeply to her master.

Master Zhishang smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Child, get up quickly!"

Wang Xiyue got up as instructed and sat cross-legged on the futon next to her master.

Only then did she have the chance to examine her master closely. She saw that he had aged considerably compared to a few years ago, and his eyes revealed fatigue and weakness.

Her heart tightened, and she asked with concern, "Master, how are you? Your energy doesn't seem as abundant as before."

Master Zhishang sighed softly, a sigh that seemed to carry the vicissitudes of time and endless regrets.

He slowly revealed the truth, "My child, my time has come to an end! Fortunately, I can see you one last time before I die."

Upon hearing her master's words, Wang Xiyue felt as if struck by lightning. Her body trembled violently, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but a surge of grief choked her, and she could only utter sobs: "Master..."

Master Zhishang looked at his heartbroken disciple, his heart filled with pity, but his face still wore a kind and comforting smile.

"Child, life and death are predestined, that's an unchangeable fact, there's no need to worry about it!"

Master Zhishang gazed at the striking flame mark on his disciple's forehead, his eyes filled with a mixture of emotion, relief, and an indescribable worry.

He said softly, "It seems you have already seen through the various aspects of your past life and have chosen to accept them with equanimity."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiyue was filled with astonishment. She stared at her master in disbelief, her voice trembling as she asked, "Master, so... you knew everything! But why did you keep it from me all this time?"

As she spoke the last few words, her sorrowful tone carried a hint of grievance and resentment.

Master Zhishang wore a smile that contained boundless love and tolerance.

He slowly reached out and gently stroked Wang Xiyue's head, explaining gently, "Everything in this world has its own rules. Many times, if the time is not right, even if I tell you the truth, it may not make you feel at ease."

"Only when the right moment arrives will those knots in our hearts naturally untie themselves."

Then, the master added earnestly, "As the saying goes, 'the one who tied the knot must untie it,' your knot originates from the depths of your heart, and even if others want to help, they are powerless to do so. Whether you can break free from the shackles ultimately depends entirely on your own understanding and courage."

Although Wang Xiyue seemed to have gained some understanding today, she still felt uneasy when facing her master again.

Fearing she might make the wrong choice again, she quickly asked for advice: "Master, if the future is already predetermined, should I stop now to avoid getting more and more involved?"

The master slightly raised his hand, as if trying to grasp something, but in the end, it fell limply to the ground.

He continued, "I do not know."

"The only thing I want to tell you now is that you must always hold on to the original innocence and kindness in your heart, no matter when or where."

"When in doubt, follow your heart. In life, no one can guarantee that every choice they make is absolutely correct."

After pausing and catching his breath, the master added, "Even if you accidentally take the wrong path or do the wrong thing, it doesn't matter, as long as you can wake up in time, re-examine the problem, and muster the courage to embark on the journey again."

"As long as we always hold kind thoughts deep in our hearts, then no matter what we do, there is no such thing as an absolute mistake. It's just that everyone's choices and directions are different."
