Chapter Two: A Dream of the Past Life (Part 1)

Luo Ailing and her son Luo Cheng, currently undergoing treatment, are in a coma. Due to simultaneous brain injuries, their

souls are in an extremely delicate state, and they are both dreaming. Miraculously, they are

having the same dream simultaneously…

The late Qing Dynasty was a turbulent period in China, marked by the Opium Wars and the First Sino-Japanese War, with territorial concessions and indemnities being commonplace

. This is the historical context of the mother and son's dream.

In 1885, the Liu family, a wealthy clan in Jiaxing, Jiangnan, made

a fortune in the medicinal herb business amidst constant warfare. The eldest son of the Liu family, named Liu Sheng (courtesy name Kaizhi ), was a dissolute playboy who frequented brothels and other places of pleasure. He was not particularly talented in literature, barely passing the imperial examinations to become a Juren

(a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations). 　　"Young Master Liu, your esteemed presence is an honor to my humble abode!" A heavily made-up madam greeted him obsequiously. 　　"A reward!" Liu Sheng instructed his servants. 　　After handing over the silver, the servants said, "Young Master Liu! We recently have a young lady here, a beauty like a celestial being! I wonder if you…" 　　"How so? I'd like to see her!" Young Master Liu asked, intrigued . 　　"Well… Young Master Liu, you see…" The madam rubbed her hands together awkwardly. 　　"Another reward!" Liu Sheng instructed his servants again. 　　"Xiao Rui! Invite Young Master Liu to Miss Wen's boudoir!" Taking the silver, the madam instructed . 　　"Yes—Young Master Liu, this way please!" The maid led Liu Sheng to Miss Wen's boudoir. 　　"Miss Wen, my name is Liu Sheng, courtesy name Kaizhi. I have heard of your elegance and purity, and have come to pay my respects." Liu Sheng bowed respectfully towards the door. 　　"Xiao Rui, is that Xiao Rui?" A clear, bright voice came from inside, full of resentment. 　　"Yes, Miss Wen," Xiao Rui replied. 　　"Didn't we agree? I'm resting today and won't see any guests," the voice inside complained. 　　"Well... Miss Wen, this young master Liu is the eldest son of the owner of the Holy Spirit Pharmacy in this manor. We have no choice but to see him !" Xiao Rui pleaded. 　　"I already said! I won't see anyone. Didn't you hear me?" the voice inside said angrily. 　　"Young master Liu, you see..." Xiao Rui said hesitantly. 　　"It's alright! I'll come again tomorrow," Liu Sheng said nonchalantly. 　　(If I won't see you today, I can always come tomorrow!) 　　Liu Sheng thought to himself and left the brothel. 　　The next day, Liu Sheng came and specifically asked to see Miss Wen. Xiao Rui was the one who led him there again. 　　"Miss Wen, Young Master Liu is here again. Shouldn't you see him?" Xiao Rui asked. 　　"I'm not feeling well today, please forgive me 　　, Young Master Liu!" the voice from inside the door replied. "I'll visit again tomorrow. Take care, Miss Wen." With that, Liu Sheng left again. 　　(What's wrong with me? Why do I want to see her every time I come to the brothel?) 　　On the third day, he initially didn't want to see Miss Wen, but upon entering the brothel, he couldn't suppress his impulse. This time , he went to her room and greeted her, "I 　　, Liu Sheng, have come to pay my respects to Miss Wen!" There was no response from inside. Liu Sheng raised his voice and said, "I, Liu Sheng, have come to pay my respects to Miss Wen!" 　　At this moment, a passing maid saw Liu Sheng and said, "Young Master Liu, Miss Wen is out." 　　Liu Sheng nodded sadly and left dejectedly. 　　After leaving the brothel, he walked alone on the street, holding an unopened folding fan, tapping it with his left hand. His thoughts were wandering, he didn't know what he was thinking, his mind was in complete chaos. 　　As he turned the street corner, preparing to drown his sorrows in the nearby tavern, he saw two thugs harassing a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a white qipao with ink-painted patterns, carrying a basket of yellow paper incense and candles, and adorned with a white flower in her hair. The woman was breathtakingly beautiful, gentle and charming, poised and elegant, with captivating allure captivating figure. This celestial beauty was now enduring agonizing torment. Seeing this, Liu Sheng shouted, "Stop! Let go of that girl!" 　　"Who are you?! Daring to interfere in my business?" one of the thugs sneered. 　　"This is none of your business, get lost!" the other thug yelled. 　　"You beast!" With that, Liu Sheng quickly grabbed the girl and ran off, leaving the two thugs no time to react. By the time they realized what was happening, Liu Sheng and the girl had already disappeared around a corner. 　　The two ran into an alley, panting heavily, trying to calm themselves. Liu Sheng asked, " Where ? May I escort her home?" 　　"My home...my home is just ahead. I thank you for saving my life today, sir. How could I trouble you again? Farewell!" The young lady curtsied and left. 　　(Who is she? I've never seen her before. Is she from out of town?) 　　Liu Sheng wondered, shook his head, and went home. 　　The next day, Liu Sheng went to the brothel again, but Miss Wen was still not there. He wandered aimlessly through the streets, eventually reaching the outskirts of the city. 　　Then he heard the sound of weeping. Looking around, he saw a beautiful woman with a delicate figure kneeling before a grave, sobbing before a wooden tombstone. 　　"Father! Your unfilial daughter! I failed to protect your family business! Poor Meilan, such a tragic woman! How hateful that my second uncle seized the family business and sold me into a brothel! Why is my life so bitter!" The girl lamented , and Liu Sheng felt deeply saddened. 　　"This... Miss, please accept my condolences!" Liu Sheng began to comfort the girl, seemingly out of nowhere. 　　The girl turned around and exclaimed in surprise, "It's you! Young Master Liu, what brings you here?" 　　"I was wandering around aimlessly when I saw you paying respects to your father. I was deeply moved by your filial piety and admire you greatly!" He replied, recognizing the girl as the one he had rescued the day before. 　　"I see! May I ask your name, young master?" the girl asked cautiously and shyly. 　　"Liu Sheng, courtesy name Kaizhi, from this prefecture. May I ask your name, young lady?" Liu Sheng replied. 　　"Wen... Wen Meilan."

"Are you burning paper money for your deceased father, young lady? May I help you?" Liu Sheng asked.

"How could I possibly accept that! Young master, this place is dirty, please go back!" Wen Meilan said apologetically.

(This young master is such a good person. He saved me yesterday, and today he's helping me so much by chance. Father! Did you send

him to help me?)

Liu Sheng didn't say anything and continued burning the paper money. Wen Meilan, watching from the side, was deeply moved,

a strange ripple of emotion stirring within her, a comforting feeling.

After the paper money was burned, the two walked together in the countryside. Liu Sheng began to ask Wen Meilan about her past: "What did you say about your second

uncle ? What happened to your second uncle?" "Why did you mention him, young master?" Wen Meilan protested,

her expression full of reproach.

"Nothing... nothing else, it's just that you're alone paying respects to your father." Liu Sheng, realizing his question was inappropriate,

quickly changed the subject.

"Actually, I didn't mean to complain about you, young master, it's just... it's a long story!" Wen Meilan

realized her tone was off.

"Tell me slowly!" Liu Sheng said.

It turned out that, like Liu Sheng, Wen Meilan also came from a merchant family. She had two uncles,

both half-uncles. Her third uncle, having passed the imperial examination with top honors, was serving as an official in another region, leaving only her father and second uncle at home.

She was born to her father's first wife; her mother died from postpartum hemorrhage, and she was

raised by her second wife. The second wife had a son, who was beloved by the family, while her second uncle married a fierce woman. Behind

this seemingly perfect facade lay a hidden conspiracy. It turned out that the second wife and second uncle had an affair,

and one day, the second wife poisoned Wen Meilan's father, sold Wen Meilan to a brothel, and seized the family fortune.

Hearing this, Liu Sheng said, "It's alright, I'll avenge you."

"No need, Young Master Liu, he's my second uncle, I... I can't bring myself to do it!" Wen Meilan said, tears welling in her eyes.

"And your father?" Liu Sheng asked.

"I've accepted my fate!"

"Which brothel have you been sold to?" Liu Sheng asked.

"XXX, what's wrong?" Wen Meilan replied.

"So you're the new Miss Wen. I was looking for you a few days ago," Liu Sheng said, suddenly realizing.

"Hmph! You're quite the lecher, aren't you? Now that you've seen me, are you satisfied?" Wen Meilan said coquettishly, her

charm reaching Liu Sheng's heart.

"Miss Wen, I apologize for my intrusion," Liu Sheng said.

And so, the two became a couple, meeting occasionally in the suburbs. As the saying goes, familiarity breeds fondness, and gradually,

they both regarded each other as the most important person in their lives.
