Circumventing Fate

Lei Xing, a recent law school graduate took the vacation of her life, splurging her hard-earned money on a luxurious cruise to celebrate and relax before jump-starting her career. Unfortunately for her, due to a seemingly random stroke of bad luck and series of unfortunate events, she ended up plunging down to a miserable deep-sea death...or so she thought. To her astonishment, she opened her eyes once again to find herself in an ancient setting, in the body of the eldest daughter of a high court official. ...Okay, at least I'm rich...I can still live happily and freely, it's a golden second opportunity at life and I will live it well!...maybe go traveling, start a business or something…It could be worse... To Lei Xing’s horror, her host was slated to enter the palace to participate in a competition for the selection of Imperial wives. ...I am definitely not interested in any Royal BS or harem fights. Please keep your scheming lives to yourselves and leave me the hell out of it, NOT INTERESTED!!!...So can I not go to the concubine selection, please? T_T)...No? Nevermind then, failure is always an option...I’m not exactly versed in the ancient arts anyway. Therefore, failure is the only possible outcome. Bring it on! Hahahaha… While Lei Xing was making her plans on how to skip town, fate was also very busy working out its own plans for her, hard at work behind the scenes mapping out its own course for her life...Beyond the bounds of her comprehension and her ensuing anger at the holes being poked into her blueprints. "...Little chicken, as long as I'm alive you won't die." "Nonsense, if anyone is going to cause my death, it would be you!!" *** "Do you really feel nothing after all this time?" He asked as he looked at her with searching eyes, trying to see into her soul... "...Who...would..." she mumbled under her breath... *** "That stupid old man, I'm going to end him when I find him...You better hide well!!" ☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯☯ Author's Note~~ Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the read as you go alone!
