Chapter 1: Never Married

Editor: Henyee Translations

In October, the cool autumn day suddenly turned cold. The winter of the year was about to begin. Liu Sanniang believed that she had enough food reserved for the winter. From now on, she could stay at home for the entire winter season just doing embroidery work.

She sat under the candlelight. On the wide embroidery table was the piece of embroidery that Liu Sanniang had started working upon. She slowly and carefully threaded the needle. This was the only skill she had, to make a living.

She was 75 years old. Her parents had long passed away, and two years ago, her second brother passed away as well. Her eldest brother was still alive and three years older than her. His health was still alright. She was an old girl and had never married in her life.

Her parents were concerned about her and gave her all the money before they died. Her brothers and sisters-in-law also treated her very well and did not mind their parents' decision.

Her nephews and nieces came to visit her often and brought her necessities.

However, most of the time, she was alone. Many of her female friends had already passed away.

The room was quiet and there was only the sound of the night watchman outside.

"The weather is dry and things are flammable, take care not to catch the fire."

Dong! — Dong!

Dong! — Dong!

Dong! — Dong!

After hitting the gong three times, the night watchman slowly walked further and further away, and then the world quieted down again.

Liu Sanniang smiled and continued doing the embroidery.

Other than some rumors about her when she was young, the rest of her life had really been smooth-sailing. Before the age of 30, there were some matchmakers who wanted to match her with men who were either old bachelors or widowers who had lost their wives and contained a house full of children.

She didn't like any of them, neither did her parents.

Year after year passed and she eventually became old.

She was not married. When she was young, she was quite skilled in embroidery. The money she earned was subsidized to her two brothers to support their family. She also doted on her nephews and nieces. Her efforts were not in vain. Her nephews and nieces treated her fairly well. When they grew up, they visited her very often.

A few days ago, her eldest brother even brought his grandson to visit her. That little fatty was really likable.

She gave the little fatty a few pieces of candy. His eyes sparkled when he ate them. Before he left, he started crying and refused to leave. Liu Sanniang comforted him by saying that she would give more to him the next time he came over. Only then did the little fatty leave from there reluctantly.

Liu Sanniang embroidered while recalling the past.

Her mind became active as she recollected many things, until the rooster started to crow.

Liu Sanniang put down the embroidery in her hand with a gentle smile on her face. For many years, she had never been so lost in her old memories like tonight, so much so that she did not even hear it when the rooster made the noise.

She picked up the walking stick beside her, blew out the candle, and slowly walked to the bed. She had lived in this house for decades, so she could navigate her way even with her eyes closed.

She laid on the bed and covered herself with a blanket. This was a new blanket, and she put it under the sun a few days ago. It felt very warm.

She closed her eyes but couldn't fall asleep. Slowly, she fell into the old memories yet again.

When she was young, her mother liked her the most and praised her for being beautiful.

After her fourteenth birthday, more and more people came to ask for her hand in marriage.

A scholar from Willow Alley came to ask for her hand in marriage. He was already a scholar at the age of fifteen and was about to take the county-level exam. Liu Sanniang did not dislike this marriage, but one day, she saw him kicking a stray cat with a terrifying expression on his face.

She was so scared that she begged her mother for a long time to reject the matchmaker.

The peddler in Willow Street was said to be very capable. He could earn dozens of taels of silver a year and was rich.

However, unfortunately, one day, when she and her mother went out to buy clothes, they happened to see this guy coming out of the gambling house. His eyes were bloodshot and scary.

This time, before she needed to beg, her mother rejected the matchmaker herself…

"Great-aunt, boohoo… You haven't given any candy to Huzi yet."

The child's cry interrupted Liu Sanniang's train of thought. She was puzzled as to where this crying was coming from. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the little fatty was crying with his eyes wide open. He was fair and tender, and Liu Sanniang liked him to the core.

Ever since she was old, everything she saw was blurry. But this time, she could see the surroundings so clearly!

Before she could go over and hug the little guy, she realized that something was wrong. There were so many people all around!

Young, middle-aged, and old were all crying.

Why were they crying?

Liu Sanniang saw her eldest brother.

Her eldest brother bent over and sobbed sadly, clenching his walking stick. His snot and tears were smearing his gray beard.

For some reason, Liu Sanniang wanted to laugh. She had not looked into the mirror for many years. If her eldest brother was like this, she must also be very old and ugly too.

Liu Dalang cried sadly. "Sanniang, don't worry. Go and reunite with Father, Mother, and Second Brother. Wait for me in the netherworld. In no time, I'll come and be with you all."

Liu Dalang could not stand properly. His two sons standing beside him supported him. Both his daughters-in-law were also sobbing.

Everyone in the room was filled with grief.

The juniors whom Liu Sanniang doted upon were also shedding tears.

"Great-aunt, don't worry. I'll visit your grave every year. I won't forget how good you were to me. Even if I die, my son and grandson won't forget you. Every year on Tomb-Sweeping Day, I'll burn you some joss paper."

"Me too. We'll burn joss paper for Great-aunt."

Liu Sanniang suddenly realized that she was dead…

No wonder there were so many people in her courtyard. No wonder her brother was crying so sadly.

Liu Sanniang smiled. She was not sad. She was already 75 years old and had rarely suffered from illness in her life. Other than being lonely during her entire life, she had no regrets in this life.

She did not suffer any torture and died in her sleep.

Liu Sanniang's vision became darker and darker, and her consciousness gradually disappeared…

After an unknown period of time, Liu Sanniang heard a crackling noise. This sound reminded her of a large banana tree in the backyard of her old house. Every spring, when there was a storm, this was the sound of rain hitting the banana leaves.

With a creak, someone pushed the door open and entered. Liu Sanniang felt like she was being shaken a few times, and a gentle voice was heard. "Sanniang, Sanniang, get up and drink some medicine before sleeping."

Madam Wei helped Liu Sanniang up with her strong arms. Liu Sanniang opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her who felt both unfamiliar and familiar.

She was a little stunned and remembered that this familiar face was her mother, Madam Wei when she was young.

She mumbled in a daze. "Is this the Netherworld? Why isn't it dark? Why am I seeing my mother? Wasn't my mother dead many years ago?"

"Ouch."

Liu Sanniang covered her head in pain.


Chapter 2: Back To When She Was A Girl

Editor: Henyee Translations

Madam Wei knocked at Liu Sanniang's forehead. "What nonsense are you talking about? Open your eyes and take a good look. Me, your mother, is still healthy and good. Don't spout nonsense at such a young age. Bodhisattva, my daughter was just talking rubbish, please don't take it seriously."

Liu Sanniang looked at her mother who was praying, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Mother, how's Third Sister?"

A head popped in from outside. Liu Sanniang looked at him. The person was wearing a white coat with a worried look on his face. He walked in and reached out to touch Liu Sanniang's forehead. "Is the fever gone?"

Liu Erlang thought to himself. 'Get well soon, or Mother will definitely beat me to death.'

When Liu Sanniang saw him, she suddenly burst into tears. This was her Second Brother, her dear Second Brother when he was young. He passed away two years ago.

Now, he was alive and kicking in front of her, still in his youth!

Liu Sanniang was both shocked and happy, thinking to herself. 'So this is what happens after death.'

"Sister, don't cry. It's all my fault. Let mother punish me, but don't cry…"

Liu Erlang panicked and looked at Liu Sanniang worriedly.

Madam Wei frowned. "Erlang, stay here and look after your sister. I have to go out for a while. Your sister has been saying stupid things since she woke up. She might have lost her mind."

Madam Wei quickly got up and left.

Liu Sanniang couldn't stop crying. She held Liu Erlang and said, "Second Brother, you are quite good-looking right now. But when you got old, you looked ugly. For some reason, you and First Brother liked to grow beards. Actually, beards don't look good on you."

Liu Erlang was really frightened. "Third Sister, stop it. Second Brother is scared. Have you really lost your mind?"

Liu Erlang had heard many strange anecdotes about dead people being possessed.

Being grabbed by her, Liu Erlang trembled in fear and thought to himself. "What kind of demon are you? Don't mess with my sister. Come at me!"

Liu Sanniang burst out laughing. She wiped her tears and laughed, thinking to herself that her second brother was really interesting.

Liu Erlang looked at Liu Sanniang fearfully with an expression that said, "Don't eat me."

Suddenly, Liu Sanniang stopped smiling when she felt her second brother's body temperature. Didn't they say that souls had no temperature?

Moreover, her second brother's eyes were bright and sparkling.

"Second Brother, is Sanniang alright?"

Another head popped in. Looking at the familiar figure, Liu Sanniang fainted.

The person who came was none other than her eldest brother, Liu Dalang.

Liu Sanniang felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She still remembered that a while ago Liu Dalang was crying and wailing in the mourning hall. However, now, he walked towards Liu Sanniang with a young face and body.

The temperature, the heartbeat, and the warm flesh seemed to mean something.

Liu Sanniang was shocked and fainted.

In a daze, Liu Sanniang felt her body burning.

She was helped up by a strong arm to take the medicine.

A village Taoist in a yellow tai chi robe was jumping around her bed. He was burning incense and paper, the smell of which made Liu Sanniang feel suffocated.

Later, he even gave her some scented ash to drink.

Liu Sanniang was extremely disgusted and did not want to drink it, but was forced to drink it by Madam Wei, who loved her daughter dearly.

She could feel what Madam Wei was thinking.

Madam Wei thought to herself. 'Who cares if it's useful or not? I'll try everything I can. Maybe this will cure my daughter. My daughter has spoken so much nonsense. When she recovers, I'll definitely go to the temple to pray and pay my respects!'

Liu Sanniang wanted to vomit but immediately sensed what Madam Wei was thinking next.

Madam Wei thought to herself. 'Don't vomit. If you vomit, you'll have to drink it again.'

Liu Sanniang forcibly resisted the urge to vomit.

She was extremely tired and her body was very heavy. Madam Wei fed her daughter some medicine and porridge and wiped her body clean.

After repeating this for ten days, Liu Sanniang eventually woke up, full of energy. She looked at the familiar house and her blurry memories gradually became clear. Her parents were still young, and her two brothers were only sixteen or seventeen years old.

She did not expect to return to her teenage years after her death.

Liu Sanniang did not understand how this happened either, but after a couple of days, she accepted this reality.

Thinking of her previous life, Liu Sanniang clenched her fists. In her previous life, she had been a spinster for her entire life.

This time, she had a bold idea.

She wanted to get married!

Liu Sanniang put on her shoes and walked out of the house. It was spring in March, as well as the farming season. Her family had more than twenty acres of farmland, so the entire family was busy.

The weather this morning was sunny and the sun was warm. Liu Sanniang moved a stool to the courtyard and sat under the sunlight. She was born on the 6th of February, and her 14th birthday was just one month ago. After the spring harvest, people came over to propose one after another.

At the thought of her previous life, she was a little anxious about how she could protect her reputation.

In her previous life, there were many people who wanted to marry her, but not many were suitable. After Liu Shun and Zhang Shuan, whom Liu Sanniang rejected, she had gotten a reputation for being 'unnecessarily picky'.

For the rest of her life, this wturned out to be fatal.

This time, she had to change it.

She was beautiful and had fair skin. It was impossible that she couldn't get married.

Her mother was a cook, so her culinary skills were also excellent. Besides, her embroidery skills were not bad either. Any man who could marry her would be considered lucky.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Liu Sanniang walked towards the kitchen. Her mother was working as a cook at the Yellow Crane Tower Restaurant in town and was not home all day. Her father and two brothers were farming and would come back for lunch at noon. It was the right time for her to cook.

The Liu family was quite well-off.

Liu Sanniang first started a fire to cook the coarse grain. Then, she poured some corn flour and some wheat flour. She kneaded them into dough, and steamed them.

In spring, there was meat in the house every day. After stir-frying it with spices, it would become a meat dish. Father and her brothers were farming, so they needed to refuel their energy.

Liu Sanniang had a smile on her face. Other than not getting married for the rest of her life, she was really very happy.

Suddenly, Liu Sanniang was startled by a clang.

She turned around and saw that the light in the kitchen was blocked by a tall figure.

It took her a while to adjust her vision and see the tall figure clearly. She was frightened and stuttered. "Who are you… You, who are you looking for?"

This person was a little familiar. He didn't look old and was probably about the same age as her eldest brother. Because the memories of her younger years were still blurry, she couldn't recognize this person immediately.

"Chu Yan! I brought the sickle here."

Without changing his expression, Chu Yan replied curtly.

Chu Yan!

Liu Sanniang was struck dumb. This was the powerful General of Dingbei from her previous life. She had heard that this person was so fierce that on the battlefield, enemies would run away when they heard his name.
