Míng Yûzé pov.
My eyes widened as I sat up immediately, panting heavily and catching up some air. I look around the place, and it seems like I'm inside a bathroom, confused about what's going on and why this place looks so unfamiliar.
I was still puzzled. I can remember myself drowning deep down in the ocean, but here I am inside the bathtub filled with cold water, and an unfamiliar place surrounded me.
'What is... going on?'
"Ruì! Dinner is ready, so hurry and come downstairs."
A female voice suddenly called from downstairs, making me raise my eyebrow in confusion, and I was sure it was not my mom.
"Ruì! Don't make your meal wait for you." It called again, making me frown in confusion.
'Ruì? who's that? ' I thought while standing up and going to grab a towel, but as soon as I turned around, I was greeted by a mirror with me... wait no... this is... not me.
I gulped as I turned my back on the mirror, trying to calm my raising heart before turning again and seeing the same face.
'What the hell was going on?! ' I yelled through my mind as I hit my head against the wall.
I can't be just dreaming, but wait, the girl's voice was so familiar...I hurriedly grab a clothes and wear them before rushing out of the bathroom, only to be hit by the wall.
"Damn it," I muttered as I rubbed my forehead before looking on each of my sides to see two different paths.
"Now what?" I groaned in annoyance before looking each side again, not knowing which path would lead me downstairs.
"Ruì? Are you alright?" A voice suddenly appeared on my right side, making me startled.
I turned around as I saw the girl standing right in front of me, making me widen my eyes in shock.
"No way!" I gasped as my eyes widen in shock, the girl startled, making me shut my mouth with my hand.
'Oh gosh,' I thought as I totally forgot my situation.
I just can't believe that Huì Lì Mēi was standing right in front of me. I could still remember that she was famous at our school and everyone was attracted to her, especially my enemy... Ruò Xuān.
"Ruì, dinner is ready now." Lì Mēi said with a kind smile as she reached out her hand to pat my head
I could clearly feel my cheeks burned as I look away from her, "O-Okay" I muttered, trying to hide my embarrassment.
Just what the hell is going on? Who is this Ruì and why am I here inside his body? where is my body? What happen to me and my body?. There was so many question running inside my mind right now and I just can't fix the broken puzzle right now.
"Here, I made some hot chocolate for you" Lì Mēi said while sliding a cup of hot Choco on my side as soon as I sat down.
"Thank you" I said with a calm tone, my eyes wander around the kitchen and take note of everything
The house was too simple, something that I wasn't expecting for someone like Lì Mēi to live at this kind of place. Huì Lì Mēi was a famous for her beautiful face and kind heart, she always look elegant and neat but she doesn't usually bring up anything about her personal life.
Anyways, it doesn't matter if she was rich or average and what matter now was... WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?!
<><><><><><>
"I'll do the dishes," I said as I stood up and collected the dirty dishes.
Lì Mēi just stared at me, making me avoid her gaze, afraid that she'll notice something's off.
Lì Mēi smiled softly as she ruffled my hair, making me look at her confused. "You know, you're always helpful whenever it comes to house chores," she suddenly said, making me blush lightly as I internally rolled my eyes.
"Don't worry, when we have enough money, I'll make sure to buy something you like," she said with a soft voice that makes my heart melt.
I just stayed quiet for a moment while she headed out of the kitchen, taking a deep breath as I flopped down the chair. I run my fingers through my face, a bit frustrated from everything that has been happening to me.
It was only 3 hours, yet I already feel stressed. Before, I was only reading books such as reincarnating, but I didn't expect that it would happen to me in reality. Anyway, I should finish the dishes now and maybe... Just maybe that I could find some clue on what's happening right now to me.

"Finally..." I sighed heavily as I laid on the bed, feeling tired
I mean, how could I not?
<><><> (Flashback)<><><>
I just finished cleaning the dishes and wiped my hands dry clearly forgetting where I am. As soon as I arrived upstairs I just stared blankly when I saw three path that lead in a different ways, now I start to wonder why their house have so many paths.
<><><>(End of Flashback)<><><>
With that, I got lost many times in different rooms, but luckily I didn't bump into Lì Mēi during that moment.
Letting out a heavy sigh as I sat up and my eyes wandered around the dull bedroom, standing up and heading toward the study table to see a mirror sitting above the table.
Staring at the face for a few moments as I touch the cheek, "This kid surely has a nice, cute face. I wonder where his soul is right now or what even happened to him," I muttered as I touched the hair when something suddenly vibrated at the table, making me glance down; there I saw a phone on it.
I rolled my eyes as I ignored it but then suddenly caught my eyes, which is a frame that was lying down the table, picking it up, and there I saw a family picture of this kid.
Now I see, Lì Mēi was this kid sister, and there was his father, but... What happens to the other woman? The glass there was cracked, and there were also a few bloodstains on it, but the head of the woman picture was ripped off.
To think of it, it must be their mother, but now I wonder what happened to their family? And why was the woman picture like this?
