[2019]

"Mom, Dad, I'm going to work first," Mo Xiu Ying kiss the pictures of his deceased parents.

Mo Xiu Ying, 24, is a resident in a hospital in the city.

When he was 14, his mom died in a car accident. After that, his dad raised him single-handedly. Five years later, his dad followed his mom after he suffered from colon cancer, due to overwork.

Mo Xiu Ying felt devastated when he heard the news. There are several times he attempted to commit suicide but still, God won't take his life.

Mo Xiu Ying's parents, his dad to be exact, left him quite a huge amount of money. After hearing about the money, his long-lost family on both sides suddenly shows up, acting like they care and worry about him.

Feeling disgusted with their behavior, Mo Xiu Ying slowly back on his foot. He decided to register in a martial art class after a kidnap attempted by his paternal aunts. He knows, sooner or later, his so-called family will try to do anything worse just to get his inheritance.

Besides, Mo Xiu Ying already planned ahead that if he died, all properties will be donated to an orphanage. It is much better than giving it to those greedy people.

Mo Xiu Ying rolled into university and took a medical course. It was his mom's wish to see him in the white long coat. Unfortunately, his mom didn't get a chance to witness it.

Being surrounded by pests and fake people, Mo Xiu Ying is meticulous in choosing who he should be friends with.

During his college days, he only got one male friend and one female friend. And now they're working in the same hospital, except the girl that went abroad.

Mo Xiu Ying is famous for his pretty face but no one dares to approach him. He is a calm and silent type, making it harder for people to talk to him.

Right now, Mo Xiu Ying is on the way to the hospital. He preferred to take the train than buying a car.

10 minutes walk to the train station and 15 minutes from the train station to the hospital. Save money, healthier body.

Xiu Ying is waiting for the red light at the crossroads. He always lowers his head and stares at the ground.

Suddenly, he saw a ball rolling from his side to the middle of the road. The traffic light is still on red but there are no cars around.

A little girl yanks her hand from her mother's grips and chases after her ball.

Out of nowhere, a van speeding up towards the little girl.

Trained to be sensitive and responsive towards his surroundings, Mo Xiu Ying runs after the girl, trying to save her.

But the van was too fast and Xiu Ying didn't have time to sweep the girl into his arms and carry her to the safe roadside.

Unable to think, Mo Xiu Ying pushes the girl hard, making her fall to the other side of the roadside.

Unfortunately, he replaced the girl and was hit by the van. All he can feel is crucial pain when his head hits the front side of the van.

'Before this, I've tried many ways to take my own life but God didn't allow it. But now, when I just started my journey, God won't let me enjoy it for a long time. Haih....farewell my glory youth.'

Then, everything went black.

.....

"Ugh!"

Mo Xiu Ying regains his consciousness with a sharp pain in his head and a very weak body. He tried to pick himself up from the bed but he felt more pain as he started to move.

Mo Xiu Ying slowly tries to open his eyes. "Wh- what? Where the hell is this? Am I in heaven? Or maybe- hell?"

He wakes up in a strange place. Lying on a wooden bed with a heavy silk quilt, a wooden ceramic table with a set of teacups in the middle of the room and a dressing table with a lot of makeup on it.

Sounds of the door creaking make Mo Xiu Ying turn his head.

"Oh my! My lady!! You're awake!" A young man with long loose hair run towards him, tears filling his eyes.

"My lady! I'm so worried. You've been sleeping for three days. I thought- oh well... It's good as long as you wake up. Master and madam really worried about you. They keep on asking me about you."

Mo Xiu Ying watched the young man babbling with his knitted brows.

'My lady?!'

'Sleeping for three days?!'

'Master and madam?!

'What the hell is going on here?!!'

"My- my lady? Are you okay?"

"Who are you?" His question makes the young man gasped.

"My lady.. You really don't know me?"

"If I know, I won't ask." Xiu Ying rolls his eyes.

Before the young man could introduce himself, another round of head-spinning hit him. Mo Xiu Ying pressed on his temple and winced.

"My lady?! Wh- what's wrong?"

It was too painful and Mo Xiu Ying barely can hold it. Suddenly flashes of memories run inside his mind. But then, Mo Xiu Ying passed out again due to overwhelming agony.

After a few hours, he regained his consciousness again but now he already grasped what happened to him.

Mo Xiu Ying is transmigrated a few thousand years back after he had an accident in his previous world.

The body that his soul resides in belongs to a man in his nineteen, youngest son of the Prime Minister and the concubine of the emperor.

However, the worst part is, he is known as a GER!!

'Why the hell a man can get pregnant? Is this world lack of women?!' Xiu Ying cursed in his mind.

Xiu Ying sighs. Even though the family name is different, his name is still the same, Xiu Ying.

From the memories, Xiu Ying also realized that the original owner of the body is known as an annoying concubine.

Due to his annoying behavior, he was poisoned by one of the consorts.

But, he feels a little bit relieved because the emperor never paid any attention to the original owner. This means he doesn't have to serve the emperor on the bed.

'It is even better if the emperor forgot me wholly and let me live peacefully in this palace. At least I got free food.'

The man from before entering the room again. But now, Xiu Ying recognized him.

"Oh, Jing Yi. It's you."

The guy named Jing Yi gleams when Xiu Ying calls his name.

"My lady! You remember me?"

"Hmn. Just now, I'm kinda dizzy and lost so I didn't recognize you. Sorry for that."

Jing Yi tearing up again.

'My lady thanked me. Oh, God! What kind of premonition is this? He even looks calmer and he talked so gently to me. But, did he remember about the poisoning? If yes, shouldn't he be mad?'

The emperor's concubine actually should have his/her own maid or servants but for an annoying concubine that was hated by everyone, even by the lowest maid, no one wants to serve him.

Therefore, Prime Minister Li once again asked a favor towards the emperor to allow Jing Yi to work as Xiu Ying's servant in the palace. Informed of the situation faced by Xiu Ying, Wu Zhang Wei agreed in an instant.

Jing Yi clears his throat. "My lady, do you feel any pain? Should I call the physician?"

Xiu Ying waves his hand. "Nah. I'm fine. Just a little bit sore. Maybe I laid down too long."

"Jing Yi, can you get me some food. I feel hungry." Xiu Ying speaks in a low tone, making him sound like he is pleading.

"Yes, sure! I'll bring it in a moment. My lady, please rest some more." Jing Yi walked out of the room and ran to the kitchen.

Xiu Ying gets off of the bed and inspects the room.

Even if it is quite different from the room in his time, Xiu Ying can tell it is quite small for a concubine.

This means his assumption is correct. This Li Xiu Ying is totally being abandoned by the emperor.

'Well, that's good news for me.'

Xiu Ying went to the wardrobe and felt like his eyes could be blind due to the bright colors of the robe. From bright yellow, greenish-yellow, striking pink, bold red and orange sun. The only decent color is pure white and light blue.

'Li Xiu Ying, not only do you lack in attitude, but you also lack in sense of fashion. Are you trying to be a traffic light wearing this kind of color?'

He closed the wardrobe and walked to the dressing table. The table is fully occupied with makeup. Mo Xiu Ying didn't really know the modern makeup, what's more, the ancient one. But he saw the tools and the face powder from the drama on the tv.

Xiu Ying picks up the mirror to see his current face. However...

"Holy shit!!" The mirror was dropped to the floor and broke into pieces.

Xiu Ying groping his face.

"Is this really me?! Did I reborn as a human or a ghost?! Why do I look like I have an opera performance after this?! Is this guy for real?!"

Jing Yi, who came with a tray of food, was shocked when he saw the broken mirror.

"My lady! Are you okay?? You're still weak. Don't move around so much. Come here. Be careful not to step on it." Jing Yi holds on to Xiu Ying's arm and carefully leads him to the table while babbling.

"My lady, go on and eat. Let me clean up this mess." Jing Yi goes out again and then comes in with a broom and dustpan.

The growling stomach makes Xiu Ying forget about his looks just now and quickly dives into the meal.

Xiu Ying glanced at Jing Yi while picking up the dishes and shoved them into his mouth. His eyes follow Jing Yi's movement.

Sensing his young master's gaze, Jing Yi slowly turns his head. "My- my lady? Wh- what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"

Spoon still in his mouth, Xiu Ying shakes his head. "Nope. It's just....you talk too much. Like a mother-in-law...or maybe stepmother." Xiu Ying shrugs his shoulders.

"I'm sorry. We- well, if it's like that, I'll restrain my mouth. I won't say much unless you asked me." Jing Yi lowers his head dejectedly.

"Nuh-uh. Just talk as usual. I'm just amused how a young guy like you is so chatty. But it's fine. At least, it's not so lonely."

Jing Yi abruptly raises his head and tears filling his eyes.

'O-kay. Now what?! Why are you crying?! I wasn't even mad at you?!' Xiu Ying squints his eyes.

'My lady.....My young master...He didn't get mad at me. He even likes when I talk to him. Oh my...I'm so happy! Thank you bit**y concubine for giving the poison to my lady. If not, he won't be like this right now.' Jing Yi quickly wipes off the tears using his sleeves.

"Oh. One more thing. Can you stop calling me 'my lady'? It sounds.....weird." Xiu Ying's face twitched in disgust.

"But...before this, my lady said I have to call you like that since you've become the concubine."

Xiu Ying waves his hand. "Forget what I said before. From now on, just call me 'young master' just like when we're at home. Never use that name again."

"Alright my- young master." Xiu Ying nods, satisfyingly.
