The life swap begins with Consort Hua becoming Lady Qin.

The letter was quickly delivered to Kang Haifeng.

When Kang Haifeng opened the package, he was initially incredulous. He looked at it three or four times before he was sure he hadn't made a mistake, and then his eyes lit up.

The letter was written in a roundabout way, yet its meaning was clear—

Miss Wang said that she fell in love with him at first sight and could not forget him.

If he also intends to form a good relationship, he must go to the Chengnan Orphanage tomorrow to meet him.

Third Miss Wang!

It was actually Miss Wang the Third!

Who in the capital isn't talking about her lately?

Countless women from prominent families praised her highly, wishing they could marry her as soon as possible.

She was also different from the average ugly woman who had a good reputation but a plain appearance.

Just thinking about that bright and beautiful face under the mask that day made Kang Haifeng swallow hard.

Such a beautiful and virtuous woman fell in love with him at first sight and even took the initiative to ask him out.

The thought of doubt flashed through his mind only briefly before he suppressed it.

What makes him unworthy of attention?

The only son of the Kang family, who is well-off, and whose teacher also said that his writing is quite good, he has a good chance of being on the list next year.

Not to mention, he was also handsome and charming, and was always popular with women.

Why can't Miss Wang San like him?

As for his mother's frequent comments about how he had too many concubines and maids, and that no decent woman would be interested in him...

Hmph, a truly virtuous woman wouldn't care about such things.

Kang Haifeng became more and more convinced of his suspicions, and immediately put the letter into his pocket with great care, and asked someone to prepare clothes for him to go out the next day.

On the other side, Langhua also saw an almost identical letter.

As Ah Chang handed the letter to her, he whispered, "My servants saw Liu Yun sneaking out the door, so they followed her for a while. The man that Zong Dalang found had studied in theatrical troupes and stole the letter from her hand, copied it exactly as she wrote it, and then returned it to her without alerting Liu Yun. Please take a look, Miss."

Langhua unfolded the letter, glanced at it, and then let out a cold laugh.

"Tomorrow."

Wang Ruoyu really couldn't wait a moment longer.

Yeah.

She couldn't wait any longer.

She slowly folded the letter and burned it over a candle flame.

"Go and make the arrangements," she said calmly. "We must make sure to accompany our eldest sister to enjoy the play to the fullest tomorrow."

Ah Chang bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

Evening, at the Sheng residence.

Sheng Hong was about to go to bed, but he was in a very good mood.

These past few days, he felt that his luck had turned around.

The woman he likes also happens to be deeply in love with him.

She was also the daughter of Minister Wang, so her status was self-evident. She was also bright and beautiful, and gentle and charming.

Even his mother hinted that she was interested in hiring this person as his legal wife.

What else could this be but a match made in heaven?

Sheng Hong felt increasingly pleased with himself, and even as he lay down, a smile remained on his lips.

The next moment, the window was opened, and something smashed straight in, hitting him right on the forehead.

"Ouch!"

Sheng Hong covered his forehead, both shocked and furious. He rushed to the window and looked out, but there wasn't a soul in sight.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a stone wrapped in paper!

No wonder it hurt so much!

Sheng Hong wished he could immediately summon Dong Rong and drag the man out to give him a good beating.

But then I saw the writing on the paper.

Sheng Hong was taken aback and quickly went to light a lamp. By the light, he carefully examined the words on it.

Before he could read two lines, his expression suddenly changed.

This was written by Wang Ruoyu, who tearfully complained that her family had recently become famous because of her younger sister's sudden increase in suitors. Her mother had chosen two suitors for her today, both from prominent families, one of whom was even a member of the imperial clan.

She didn't want to disobey her parents, but she didn't want to miss out on him either, so she invited him to meet at the orphanage in the south of the city the next day to discuss their options.

Sheng Hong held the letter in his hand, feeling as if his joy had been instantly doused with cold water.

Someone came to her door to propose marriage.

They were from prominent families, or even members of the imperial clan.

But at this crucial moment, she resorted to any means necessary to send the letter...

What does this mean?

This shows that she really does have feelings for him!

But precisely because of this, he became even more restless.

What should he do if the Wang family really arranges the marriage first?

Thinking of this, Sheng Hong couldn't sleep at all. He clutched the letter and paced back and forth in the room several times until late at night before finally making up his mind.

He has to go tomorrow!

-

The next morning.

Madam Xu got up to eat, and while serving her food, Mama Fang whispered, "Young Master went out early this morning, taking only Dongrong with him."

Xu paused in her hand movements and slowly raised her eyes.

She knew Fang's mother's personality all too well; she would never have said that unless there was another reason for it.

As expected, Mrs. Fang lowered her eyes and continued, "But... she didn't go to Mr. Zhou's place."
