Chapter 166 Transition Chapter
"Who is he?" Yun Qian finally asked in shock, with a slight tremor in her voice that she herself didn't even notice.
Tick, tick, but this time the system did not respond to her question.
Instead, a vague and ethereal voice echoed in her ears, gentle yet with an irresistible majesty, as if coming from a height far beyond her reach. "Shouldn't you know who he is?"
It was a woman's voice, solemn and compassionate, as if she knew all the secrets of the world. Although Yun Qian had never seen her face, she couldn't help but imagine the image of a goddess in her mind. Her expression was compassionate, as if she was overlooking the joys and sorrows of all living things.
"Why do I know so clearly?" Yun Qian paused, then asked hesitantly. She had never seen the person in the painting before, and while she felt a sense of familiarity, she couldn't confirm her suspicions. She had a vague suspicion, but she wasn't willing to give up, hoping to gain more clues from the owner of the voice.
The voice smiled softly, and then dissipated into Yun Qian's ears like a gust of wind. "Since you don't know, then don't know. It's time for you to go to the next world."
The voice, abrupt in its arrival, vanished just as quickly, seemingly only to plant a seed of doubt in her mind. Yun Qian stared blankly into the empty void, unsure how to react. She remained silent for a moment, muttering to herself, "So... where's the face-shaping system we were promised? Is this a scam?"
At this moment, the system cautiously appeared again, as if afraid that Yun Qian would be angry, "No, no, host, there is something else to see! Look here, look here!"
Yun Qian helplessly raised her head and looked at the screen displayed by the system. Sure enough, the screen displayed portraits of different people, as if they were the faces of those children of destiny she had met before. As the pages scrolled, she gradually saw several familiar figures: the cold and deep Regent Mo Heng, the gentle and elegant Lu Huai, the sinister and crazy Qi Huan, and the elegant yet slightly gloomy young man Ling Ji from earlier...
Seeing this, Yun Qian's mind gradually became clear. She slowly raised her head and looked into the distance, her thoughts flooding in like a tide.
These people might have different looks, but certain expressions held a faint resemblance. Yes, they seemed to be the same person, a mysterious being that moved through her world in different guises. But why were their personalities so different, so starkly opposed? Yun Qian couldn't understand. She tried to find a reasonable explanation, but the mystery left by the voice lingered.
She took a deep breath and silently made up her mind. Perhaps, in the next world, she would be able to solve this mystery and find the "him" who had always played various roles in her life.
Just as she was trying to think quietly and find a thread of thought, the system tugged at the corner of her clothes and brought her back to reality.
"Host, we should leave."
Yes, it's time to go.

It was already dawn, and the morning light from outside the window shone into the room through the gauze. The moment Yun Qian opened her eyes, she felt her mind was in a mess, as if countless memories were desperately trying to squeeze into her consciousness, assaulting her nerves. Just then, she heard a hurried call.
"Miss, Miss! Wake up! Today is the day the prince comes to visit you. Have you forgotten?"
A maid in a light green spring gown stood beside the bed, calling out anxiously, and even couldn't help wanting to reach out and pull her.
Yun Qian slowly opened her eyes, her head aching. The scene before her was not yet completely clear, but fragments of memory were already flashing by one by one, like an inescapable nightmare.
Those images seemed to be silently telling her that this body had experienced too many unbearable pasts in its previous life. Every memory was like a thorny vine, tightly wrapped around her, as if every inch of her bones was aching.
