Chapter 1

On May 1, 2012, around 4:30 PM.

Brilliant sunlight shone over the campus of Haizhuan Police Academy. Due to the holiday, this usually bustling and lively place was now somewhat desolate and bleak, even giving a sense of emptiness!

Just at this moment, a commotion of embarrassment, shame, and anger suddenly erupted from the women's shower room on campus.

"You damn pervert, stinky turtle, rotten bastard, how dare you barge in and peep at me while I'm showering in broad daylight! I think you're tired of living! I'll beat you to death, I'll definitely beat you to death..."

As the clear and sharp curses rang out, the dull thuds of a basin hitting a head echoed.

In the spacious shower room, a completely naked girl was using one hand to cover her private parts with a towel and the other to fiercely beat the pervert who had suddenly burst in, using a wooden basin for washing.

What was strange was that the pervert stood there like a wooden post, neither dodging nor resisting, allowing the girl to beat him.

After a few swings of the wooden basin, the pervert's body swayed and then fell straight onto the cold floor.

The girl initially thought he was faking death, so she picked up the basin and hit him a few more times, cursing, "Oh, you're faking death in front of me, I'll make you fake, I'll make you fake..."

However, after a few more hits, she felt something was off because he had no reaction at all. Realizing something was wrong, she stopped beating him, bent down, and trembled as she reached out to check his nose.

This touch made her heart shudder, and she fell to the ground in shock, her beautiful face losing all color, as if half of her soul had fled. Because... this pervert was already dead, with no breath, pulse, or heartbeat.

This was a serious matter!

The girl who had beaten the man to death was named Zheng Peilin, a student of the 2008 class at Haizhuan Police Academy, majoring in investigation, and also a well-known campus beauty.

Although it was the May Day holiday, she did not choose to go home like other students because she did not want to face her parents, whose relationship was strained. Since she only had a few months left before starting her one-year internship, she decided to use this long holiday to recharge, review theoretical knowledge, and enhance her skills, so she stayed in the empty campus.

If it were another girl, she would have been scared to death to come to this large, empty, and eerie shower room alone, but Zheng Peilin was a fifth-degree black belt in Taekwondo. With her skills, she was fearless!

The more she walked at night, the more likely she was to encounter a ghost.

Although Zheng Peilin did not like walking at night, she enjoyed showering alone. Usually, she would come to shower quietly when it was late and quiet because... she did not want others to discover her shameful secret!

She had maintained this habit throughout her four years at the police academy, but she never expected that the only time she showered in broad daylight, she would encounter a clumsy intruder.

When she entered the shower room with her basin, took off her clothes, and started showering while humming a song, she suddenly realized she was being peeped at. And it wasn't someone hiding in the dark, but someone who had boldly run in and openly watched her. How could she not be angry?

She was not only angry but also felt humiliated. In a fit of rage, she grabbed her rosewood basin and smashed it on his head. Then... the scene at the beginning unfolded.

Zheng Peilin never expected that this pervert, who seemed both daring and powerful, would be so weak. After a few hits, he was dead.

It was only when the pervert showed no reaction that Zheng Peilin clearly saw the face of this unfortunate man.

She actually knew him!

He was not only a student at the police academy but also as famous as she was!

However, while Zheng Peilin was famous for her wealth, power, figure, and good looks, as well as her top academic performance, this man, Yan Xiaokai, was known for being poor, stupid, and weak, a wimp, a loser, and a complete failure.

Zheng Peilin was both terrified and puzzled. How could such a timid person, who was afraid of stepping on an ant, suddenly dare to barge into the women's shower room?

Was he on a high?

Or had he eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall?

Regardless of where he got the courage, he had indeed come in, and she had indeed beaten him to death.

Now... she was in big trouble.

Being expelled and ruining her studies were minor issues; she might even face criminal charges!

Zheng Peilin was usually a very decisive girl, serving as the class president and vice president of the student council, participating in the Taekwondo club, and organizing the dance club. She was always ahead of others, more impressive than Fan Bingbing and more manly than Zeng Ge. However, when faced with the situation of having killed someone, she could no longer remain calm. Despite her manly demeanor, she did not have the courage to face it.

Faced with such a situation, she finally became like any other girl, panic-stricken and at a loss, even dropping her towel and basin, exposing her body without a care.

"Yan Xiaokai, Yan Xiaokai, get up, get up... I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to." The entire bathroom was deathly silent, with only Zheng Peilin, a living person, muttering to the corpse on the ground.

Such a scene was terrifying and bizarre!

"Heaven, I really didn't mean to, why did you die so easily! So weak, why did you try to be a pervert! Sob sob~~"

Finally, Zheng Peilin could no longer control her emotions and knelt beside Yan Xiaokai's body, crying helplessly.

However, as she was crying and wailing, she did not notice that Yan Xiaokai, who had clearly stopped breathing, had no pulse, and showed no signs of life, suddenly moved his fingers and slowly opened his eyes!

What was going on?

Was it the legendary Turtle Breath technique?

Was it a zombie?

Or something else?

Regardless of the reason, Yan Xiaokai was indeed alive. When he regained consciousness, his first thought was: Am I still alive?

Since he had just woken up, his eyes were still blurry. In the haze, he saw a white, naked body and vaguely noticed a pair of full, high breasts.

When the scene finally became clear, he realized that the woman in front of him was stunningly beautiful and completely naked. His lower body almost reacted immediately, but soon, his lust was replaced by heavy doubt.

Where am I?

Why does the surroundings look so strange?

Who is this woman?

Why is she naked?

As these thoughts surfaced, Yan Xiaokai felt a headache, and fragmented memories began to float in his mind.

"Servant, you have great audacity to defile the emperor's beloved concubine! Seize this blind fool!"

"Injustice! Your Majesty, I did not defile Concubine Yun. She tried to seduce me and then slandered me!"

"How dare you speak such nonsense here? Drag him out of the palace gate and behead him immediately to warn others not to touch the emperor's women and make him a cuckold!"

"Injustice..."

Yan Xiaokai remembered that he came from a wealthy family with vast lands and immense wealth. His strict father, to prevent him from becoming a lazy, good-for-nothing second-generation rich, sent him to Kunshan at a young age to study under a master.

When he returned, he was eighteen, not only a master of martial arts but also skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, divination, astronomy, geography, and more, excelling in all eighteen arts.

On the day he returned home, it happened to be the imperial examination.

Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to take the exam and unexpectedly became the only dual scholar-warrior laureate in the Tang Dynasty's 200-year history.

After the palace examination, Concubine Yun, seeing the new laureate as a strong, handsome, and capable man, wanted to test his other abilities. However, he found her too old, too fat, and a second-hand woman, so he ignored her.

Enraged, she accused him, and he was executed by the emperor...

Recalling his past, Yan Xiaokai was suddenly shocked, and a series of questions flooded his mind.

Am I not dead?

I was supposed to be dead, right?

I clearly felt my head roll in the air and be picked up by a dog!

But how am I alive again?

Could I have really died and now be in heaven as a god?

If I'm not a god, why is there a naked, beautiful woman kneeling beside me?

...

The more questions he had, the more his head hurt, and the pain became more intense, making him feel like his head was about to explode.

This clear and intense pain made him realize that he was not dreaming but was indeed alive!

Heaven!

What is going on?

Is this heaven or hell?

Where is the emperor?

Where is Concubine Yun, that wicked woman?

"Ah~~" The intense pain in his head made Yan Xiaokai unable to bear it, and he screamed, clutching his head and jumping up from the ground.

Due to the intense pain, his face turned red, his forehead veins bulged, and his features twisted, making him look extremely fierce and terrifying, like a ghost from hell!

This sudden change and Yan Xiaokai's screams frightened Zheng Peilin, who was still crying uncontrollably. She stopped crying and screaming, standing there in shock.

Staring at Yan Xiaokai, who looked more like a zombie than a living person, Zheng Peilin finally screamed, "Ah! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!"

Her scream was sharp, piercing, and rhythmic.

However, no one responded to her cries, and the old lady in charge of the shower room was nowhere to be found.

Feeling helpless, Zheng Peilin finally stopped screaming, but the sight of the fierce and mad Yan Xiaokai still made her shudder!

What is going on?

This man was clearly dead, so how is he alive now?

Could it really be a zombie?

Thinking of this possibility, Zheng Peilin was even more terrified and kept backing away. With each step, her chest jiggled violently, creating a mesmerizing sight.

"Uh!?" Seeing this, Yan Xiaokai, who had been in intense pain, suddenly felt a surge of blood from his lower body. Perhaps the fresh blood in his brain relieved his headache, and he felt better, even his lower body reacting.

Could a woman's body have such a miraculous healing effect?

Just looking at it could cure a headache?

Strange, if I had known Concubine Yun's beauty trap, I would have pretended to be stupid and taken advantage of it!

Although she was in her thirties, she was well-preserved and experienced, which could be an advantage.

What a pity! If I could go back in time...

Yan Xiaokai shook his head and cursed, "Damn, even if I could go back, I wouldn't. Her body was too fat and disgusting!"

Why should a genuine virgin like him pick up someone else's leftovers? Besides, as a dual laureate, he should not stoop to such low deeds.

Yan Xiaokai pushed aside his chaotic thoughts and focused on the woman in front of him. This was not just any woman; she was the campus beauty, with an angelic face and a devilish figure, curvy and full-bodied, especially her breasts, which were round, full, and high.

Any man would react to such a sight.

Although Yan Xiaokai's original self was weak and incapable, the one who had come through was a strong man, and his lower body was now impressively erect.

After a while, Yan Xiaokai managed to control his emotions and weakly asked, "May I ask, where are we?"

"Ah?" Zheng Peilin, still in shock, completely forgot she was naked and asked after a while, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

She had hit the point; this man was still unsure if he was human, ghost, demon, or god.

Yan Xiaokai muttered, "Logically, I should be dead, so why am I still alive?"

His words seemed to answer Zheng Peilin but also to himself.

The true reason... well, it was indeed very complex.

Some people are dead while they are alive, and some are alive while they are dead.

The real Yan Xiaokai had died heroically under Zheng Peilin's rosewood basin. The one now alive was the newly crowned dual laureate, who had been unjustly killed by the Tang emperor. Perhaps due to his intense resentment, at the moment of Yan Xiaokai's death, time twisted, and their souls exchanged...

It was very complex, really very complex! Even if you asked Yuan Fang, he probably wouldn't know the answer!

However, regardless of how complex the reason, the result was the same: the current Yan Xiaokai was no longer the original Yan Xiaokai!
