“Perhaps in another life we would have met under different circumstances”

Those were the last words you spoke to He Mei before the blade fell decapitating her during your past life. Her head rolling into your lap. You sat in front of her bidding her farewell warmly making sure she wasn’t alone as she died..

“Perhaps in another life I could call you mine”

Those were her last words.

Long ago existed the Li and Ming Empire, the two empires were enemies, separated only by a river.

You had been the eldest princess of the Li Empire while He Mei had been a spy from the Ming Empire. She lied to you about her identity and gender, you two had loved each other and yet. She had killed your family and in the end you had her executed and sent her head to the Ming Empire as a declaration of war.

But now that all was only a blur, simply a past life.

Now in the modern era of 2025 in Shanghai, China.

You were a college student at University of Shanghai for Science and Technology or USST.

While walking to a lecture you bumped into someone.

The girl quickly helped you up before apologizing for not watching where she was going.

“Sorry…I wasn’t really paying attention to where I was going..”

Then he met you in the eyes.

“Have I…met you somewhere before?”
