Chapter 1: Foolish Second Prince

Liu Shimei was awakened by the noisy commotion outside the alley.

She had studied medicine for five years and practiced for ten years, holding multiple positions as a doctor in both internal and external medicine, as well as a pharmacist in both Chinese and Western medicine.

One moment she was in her private laboratory, waiting for the successful development of a new drug, and the next moment, everything went black and her heart stopped!

When she opened her eyes, she found herself here!

She had traveled through time!

Seeing a man lying face down, she tried to turn his head to see his face, but before she could, the door was suddenly pushed open and someone rushed in, striking her on the head with a club!

It made her dizzy!

Before she could figure out what was happening, an egg was thrown at her head, followed by a heated conversation:

"Miss Liu has always claimed to be pure and virtuous, yet she is engaging in such scandalous behavior! She has no shame!"

"Don't make baseless accusations! My elder sister is the most likely candidate to become the prince's consort. Why would she do such a thing!"

"Miss Liu, we all heard it outside. Miss Liu was making a scene while waking up, and we caught this pair of adulterers together. Look at them, completely naked!"

"No... my elder sister... there must be some misunderstanding..."

It was clear that the delicate voice was no match for the other's aggressive demeanor.

Liu Shimei frowned.

This new identity after time travel was not so wonderful!

As the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's mansion, at the age of twenty-eight, she was talented and stunning, a rare beauty in the capital.

She was the undisputed choice for the prince's consort, but on the eve of the selection banquet, she was caught in a dark alley with an unknown man; just after their affair, they were caught red-handed!

But the lingering taste of medicine in her mouth proved that this was all a calculated scheme!

"Elder sister, you had a bright future ahead of you, why..."

The "Second Miss Liu" covered her face and cried, looking heartbroken: "Why would you do something so disgraceful and bring shame to our family!"

Liu Shimei recognized her.

Yan'er, her birth mother was promoted to the main wife after the original mother's death, and this "good little sister" who was less than a year old was also a legitimate daughter.

Liu Shimei sneered inwardly. Was this virtuous woman of the prosperous era crying for the sake of whom?

She held something in her palm, glanced at Yan'er's empty left earlobe, and then stared at the jade earring on Yan'er's right ear for a while.

The current situation was extremely unfavorable to her, and the most urgent thing was to put on some clothes!

"Young sister, give me your clothes!"

As soon as she said this, Yan'er was stunned.

Her eyes were filled with shock, but that emotion quickly turned into concern. She pulled her maid Chunxiang over and said, "Quickly, take off your clothes and give them to Elder Sister!"

Sensing the ill intentions, Liu Shimei raised an eyebrow.

Letting her wear the maid's clothes might seem kind, but in reality, it was demeaning her status!

She didn't mind, she put on the clothes, not caring that she was exposed underneath, and put on her shoes.

As soon as she took a step, her legs went weak and she almost knelt!

Sore, weak, and painful!

She didn't see the signal Yan'er gave to someone, and the next moment, someone rushed up and tore the fabric she had put on!

"This despicable woman, why bother wearing clothes! Openly committing adultery with a man outside, this pair of adulterers should be drowned in a pig cage!"

The sharp insults immediately drew a chorus of agreement: "Yes, that's right!"

"Even if she is the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's mansion, if she doesn't uphold her virtue, the authorities should sentence her to drowning!"

"Why don't you hurry and bring the pig cage over, and just drown her directly!"

The clamor made Liu Shimei seem unforgivable, as if she had stolen someone's man!

She looked down at the man on the bed, who was sleeping soundly after taking advantage of her?

They were now in the same boat, both involved in the affair, she couldn't bear the burden alone!

She wanted to slap him awake, but as her hand was raised, she hesitated.

The man, like her, was completely naked, but unlike the numerous bruises on her body, his body was covered with various scars.

Beaten with a stick, punched, cut with a blade, old and new... his once fair skin was now covered in scars, like fine silk stained with ink, driving one to despair!

Thinking that they were both victims of a scheme, she couldn't muster any anger towards him.

She gently shook him, "Wake up!"

After several attempts, the man finally moved, and as he slowly raised his head, still not fully awake, he whimpered, tears streaming down his face, "My head hurts!"

Seeing the man's face, Liu Shimei was shocked!

Everyone present had a strange expression, and even Yan'er blurted out, "Second Prince!"
