A Young Woman's Heart

She decided to go find the prince, even though she was still a boy at the time.

However, the prince lived in a distant capital city, and his journey would take him through many cities and along roads frequently frequented by bandits...

However, possessing witch powers, she wasn't worried at all.

She enjoyed the trip.

She felt that she was so perfect, and that every part of her body captivated her.

Standing by the river, she would sometimes linger for a long time, gazing at her reflection in the water and marveling at how there could be such a perfect 'woman' in the world.

Well... the most imperfect thing is probably that she's not a real 'woman'.

Finally, after going through many hardships—actually not that hard, because thanks to her beauty, she always received kind help from many people.

And so, she arrived at the royal city.

She found the prince.

"It's you! You... how can you be so young?"

"I am a witch, capable of eternal youth... Will you hate me because of that?"

"How could that be! Even if you were a witch, I wouldn't care!"

Yes, the prince didn't care whether she was a witch or not.

But there was one thing she cared about—that she wasn't actually a real woman.

The jeweled necklace only possessed a portion of the witch's power; she couldn't change that.

The prince and she fell in love, and a few months later, it was time to get married.

After the wedding, she will share a bed with the prince.

but……

When that time comes, the prince will discover that the beautiful and charming girl he loves is actually a boy!

In the dead of night, she could no longer bear the torment and suffering in her heart, so she rushed out of the castle and fled into the forest.

She wanted to find the real Witch of Time.

But the Witch of Time could not be found anywhere; it was as if she had vanished from the world forever.

Indeed, if the Witch of Time hadn't died, she probably wouldn't have left behind that precious gem necklace.

Mo Xueyao fell into deep despair.

Because she was isolated from people, she lost enough vitality, and the people she had previously framed for the passing of time had already died.

If she doesn't quickly find another person, or a creature with a lifespan exceeding that of humans, she will grow old again and become a middle-aged man with a face full of wrinkles.

If she can't be a real girl, at the very least, she should live as a forever handsome young man.

Moreover, if a solution isn't found now, there will be no way to turn back time again.

So she secretly sneaked into the dragon's lair deep in the forest and quietly transferred her extra years to the dragon.

The dragon, with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, was completely unaware of this extra bit of time.

Then, she stole ten years of lifespan from the dragon. She dared not steal too much, for fear that the dragon would find out.

And then... in despair, she finally made that decision.

……

Chapter 320 I refuse to believe that dreams are a manifestation of the subconscious! (Part 2)

She bit down on a piece of cotton cloth, then grabbed the part of her body that didn't belong to a young girl, brandished a sharp knife, and cut it off.

Blood splattered.

The immense pain made her wish she could die right then and there.

She threw the thing she hated most into the river.

He struggled to his feet, trying to bandage himself.

Then, the prince's army appeared not far away.

I saw her legs covered in blood.

"The princess is injured! Quick, quick! Carry her to the carriage!"

Mo Xueyao looked at the blood on her legs and gave a bitter smile.

Even if she did that, she would never truly be a girl.

What will happen next?

Perhaps the prince truly loved her too much and believed her lies.

It is believed that she was secretly taken out of the castle by a mysterious person, and after she managed to escape on her own, she was encountered by a wild beast that tore her lower body apart.

It caused indelible and permanent damage to that place.

"I'm afraid Her Highness the Princess Consort will no longer be able to have children..." the doctor in the capital said with a deep bow of his head and some fear.

"Go down," the prince sighed.

"Even so, are you still going to marry that woman?" The seriously ill king looked at him coldly.

"Even so, I will still make her my queen. Love doesn't necessarily have to involve sex."

"Ha, I always thought you were a cold-blooded guy."

“Father, I just don’t want to waste my feelings.”

"Ha ha……"

Afterwards, the prince ascended the throne and became king.

Mo Xueyao also became the queen.

Many years passed after that, and the king did not remarry, nor was any prince born.

Mo Xueyao was even more anxious than him.

What's even more worrying is that, due to his busy political affairs and overwork, the king's health is deteriorating. At just ten years old, he is already seriously ill and bedridden, unable to get up.

She set off once again to find the witch, hoping to become a real woman before the king died, so that she could at least bear him an heir.

This time, she actually found the Witch of Time.

Or perhaps, the latter deliberately waited for her.

"You are...you are the real Witch of Time!?"

"It's me." The woman, who had lowered the brim of her hat, slightly curved the corners of her mouth. "It's not impossible for you to become a real woman, but you'll have to pay a price."

"What price?"

"Your eyes." The Witch of Time pulled her hat brim down even lower.

“Okay!” Mo Xueyao agreed without hesitation.

But just as the Witch of Time began to modify her body and took the two eyeballs as a price, the sleeping dragon awoke.

It realized that its time had been stolen and angrily charged at Mo Xueyao.

"Run!" The Witch of Time unexpectedly stopped the dragon for her. "I can't hold it off for long. Even if you escape now, it can still catch up with you, so..."

"so?"

"So, let's escape to the past...!" The Witch of Time opened a portal and threw Mo Xueyao into the past.

When she woke up, she discovered that the prince was still two hundred years away from being born.

So she could only try to find ways to keep living.

Over this long period of time, she gradually grasped the principles of using time magic and became a true witch of time.

However, her blindness has never been restored.

She longed to see the light again and to see the prince's face once more.

So she decided to split half of her soul to possess another body, while the other half was severely damaged as a result—as for what happened to the other half, she had no idea.

All she knew was that she had taken the body of the most beautiful girl in the entire city.

She opened her eyes and saw a prince who was only thirteen years old standing before her, and she herself was also thirteen years old...

……

"Yaoyao, wake up, it's already six o'clock." Li Wanyan's voice broke her dream.

Six o'clock is not too early for her; she needs to get up, wash up, and go to class quickly.

After getting used to being the first to arrive at the classroom and open the door, I no longer like it when someone else arrives at the classroom before me.

How should I put it? It just feels like I've lost something.

"Ah—! Ugh...! Huff..." Mo Xueyao suddenly sat up, patted her chest hard, pinched the corner of her eye, and threw the eye boogers onto Su Tang next to her.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Li Wanyan gently touched her head, but she gasped in fright.

"Phew... I don't know if it counts as a nightmare, but I woke up with goosebumps all over my body, and... it was pretty creepy..."

"What kind of dream was it?" Li Wanyan checked her schoolbag to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. "Did you dream about insects or something else?"

"Uh...no...no...um...hiss—anyway...I don't feel well."

"Have you already forgotten?"

"Hmm...right, it seems like I've forgotten most of it."

"That's normal."

"Um... cough, I'm going to wash up!" Mo Xueyao rolled over and got out of bed. Just as she was about to walk out the small door, Li Wanyan grabbed her arm.

"You're going to wash up dressed like that?"

"Eh? Ah... Haha... I forgot, I forgot." Mo Xueyao was wearing only her underwear to keep cool while sleeping, so going out like that would be like walking around in a bikini in a city without a beach...
