What’s happening… could it be that I haven’t died? I distinctly remember falling from Cloud’s End Cliff—how could I possibly still be alive! And there’s no pain in my body… not even a hint of discomfort. What is going on?
Yun Che’s eyes flew open, and he quickly sat up, shocked to find himself on a plush bed with crimson curtains hanging above, exuding an atmosphere of celebration.
“Ah! Little Che! You… you’re awake!”
A delighted, youthful voice sounded beside him, and a girl’s face appeared in his view.
She looked no older than fifteen or sixteen, dressed in a flowing green gown. Her delicate face glowed with a gentle beauty, her lips as vivid as fresh blossoms, and her dainty nose slightly upturned. Her wide, shining eyes, filled with deep surprise, resembled crystal-clear springs—pure, transparent, and captivating. Her entire face radiated a soft charm and vivid elegance. Even at such a tender age, her beauty foreshadowed the breathtaking allure she would one day possess.
Gazing at the girl so close to him, Yun Che was momentarily dazed, instinctively blurting out, “Little Aunt?”
The girl lifted her fair, slender arm, and her jade-like hand rested on Yun Che’s forehead. She seemed to relax a bit as she said with relief, “Your temperature is nearly back to normal—thank goodness! I was so worried just now. Little Che, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
Under her gaze, brimming with sincere concern, Yun Che shook his head absently… his mind completely adrift.
“Rest here for a while; I’ll go inform your grandfather. Today is your wedding day, and when you suddenly fainted, your grandfather nearly panicked. He even went out himself to summon Master Situ.”
In her haste, the girl didn’t notice the peculiar expression on Yun Che’s face. She gently eased him back onto the bed, then quickly left the room.
As the door closed, Yun Che sat up once more, clutching his head in his hands.
This was Floating Cloud City, a small town on the easternmost edge of the Blue Wind Empire on the Heavenly Profound Continent. And he… he was Xiao Che, the sole grandson of the Fifth Elder of the Xiao Clan in Floating Cloud City, who had just turned sixteen.
This was his identity now.
His memories suddenly intertwined with those of more than twenty years on the Azure Cloud Continent, leaving him in a daze.
I am Xiao Che… but what are these memories of the Azure Cloud Continent?
Could it be that after dying on the Azure Cloud Continent, I somehow crossed over into this body?
No, I am Xiao Che! Every part of this room feels so familiar; from childhood to now, every memory is vivid and real. It’s impossible that I’ve stolen someone else’s memories!
Was everything on the Azure Cloud Continent merely a dream? Did that dream end when I fell from Cloud’s End Cliff?
But those memories of the Azure Cloud Continent are equally vivid… twenty-four years of entangled emotions and conflicts—how could that be just a dream!
What is truly happening?
