Chapter 50: A Mysterious Encounter
One evening, while walking through the capital's marketplace, Lin Yuer encounters a mysterious figure—a woman cloaked in dark robes, who seems to be following her. The woman's sharp gaze and the way she observes Lin Yuer with a sense of knowing unnerves her. After a brief exchange, the woman introduces herself as Mo Lan, a former scholar who had once served in the imperial palace but was forced to leave under mysterious circumstances.
Mo Lan hints at knowing a secret about Lin Yuer's past life, and the connection between them feels almost fated. Intrigued, Lin Yuer decides to get to know Mo Lan better, sensing that she might hold key knowledge about things that Lin Yuer does not yet understand.
