The Second Life Begins
Lian Xu
…Why am I… breathing? I remember poison… cold… darkness…
Mei Ruo
Your Highness? You’re awake!? You’ve been unconscious for 3 days!
Lian Xu
Three… days?
Wait. My hands… they’re smaller. This is… my old room?
He touches his chest—the scar from the final blade is gone.
Lian Xu
(whispers) I was 27 when I died… but this body… I’m 18 again.
Mei Ruo
Your Highness, are you in pain? Should I call the imperial doctor?
Lian Xu
No. Tell me—what day is it?
Mei Ruo
It’s the eve of your Crown Prince ceremony.
Lian Xu
…The day before my uncle staged the coup.
(perhaps fate gives second chances…)
Prince Jian
Ah, nephew. I heard you collapsed. Feeling weak?
(hehe… just like last time)
Lian Xu
(smiles coldly) Thank you for your concern, Royal Uncle.
Your face looks tired—late-night planning?
Prince Jian
…What do you mean?
Lian Xu
(leans closer) Be careful. The walls in this palace…
They remember everything.
Prince Jian
(taken aback) …
Mei Ruo
Your Highness… you’re acting strangely.
It’s almost like… you already know the future.
The Secret Ally
Mei Ruo
Your Highness, if you truly remember your past life…
You should know something.
Mei Ruo
I’m not just a maid.
I was the shadow guard assigned to protect you.
I died… trying to save you.
Mei Ruo
Yes. And if you’ve returned…
Then I’ll return too. This time, I will help you survive.
Lian Xu
(softly) Then we change fate together.
Consort Yun
Crown Prince, drink this tonic. I made it myself.
Lian Xu
Ah yes. The same cup you poisoned me with… in another lifetime.
Lian Xu
Don’t worry.
I’ll drink it—after you take the first sip.
Lian Xu
Yun! He’s suspicious. Change the plan!
Lian Xu
Tonight… we strike first.
Consort Yun
Your Highness… why would I drink it first?
This tonic is made for you.
Lian Xu
Because if you truly care for me, you won’t mind tasting it.
Prince Jian
Drink it. We can’t lose our chance.
[She takes a sip. Her pupils shake—she recognizes the poison immediately.]
Consort Yun
Y-Your Highness… this is—
Lian Xu
—The same poison you served me in my past life.
You don’t have to pretend.
Consort Yun
H-how could you… know?
Lian Xu
Let’s say… death has a way of opening one’s eyes.
