Chapter 5 - Mysterious Flash (1/2)

Han Mei stared at the face which was supposed to be hers in utter shock.

”Not…Not me..” She mumbled under her breath.

The girl in the reflection would be almost triple her size, skin as fair as jade but her face seemed to have all kinds of blemishes, pimples, and acne marks making her appear somewhat hideous.

Long hair that reached her waist and a pink night suit making her appear like a big circle, or more like an enormous rice cake.

Eyes that seemed as innocent as a doe yet dull while her lip seemed to be somewhat pale, due to the weakness.

Han Mei raised her left hand towards her cheek, her fingers shivered, she wondered if it was because of the cold or shock.

Her fingers slowly stroked her cheeks, but the feeling was not smooth, the skin felt bumpy.

She knew it. It was not her but then why…

Her thoughts were interrupted as she felt a splitting headache. Everything seemed to be blurred in an instant.

”Miss Yu. Are you fine?”

”She needs some rest since she just woke up...”

Han Mei could hear those voices but she barely had any strength left as she was still holding onto her head.

The pain seemed to be never-ending as various strange memories drifted towards her mind leading to an onslaught of memories in an instant.

Unbeknownst to her, there was a tiny flash right above her chest.

It was barely noticeable, like an illusion but it was far from that as it did something strange to her.

Her currently ordinary-looking eyes turned starry, just as Han Mei's real eyes.

”Miss Yu…”

The voices seemed to be slowly shutting themselves in the background.

She fell into a deep slumber before anyone could notice her abnormal changes.

…

Sunlight peeked through the window of the grand princess room, the sun rays seemed to be stroking the girl sleeping on the bed as she squinted.

Her long eyelashes fluttered open as she covered her eyes trying to adjust to the glaring brightness of the surroundings.

Suddenly reminded of something, she opened her eyes and glanced at the room. Everything was pink, in loud shades.

”So, it was not a dream after all,” Han Mei, now Yu Mei Zhen softly as she tried to get up from the bed but gods seemed to be teasing her as she bounced back like a rice dumpling, her head hitting the pillow.

She speechlessly glanced at the ceiling before raising her hands which could be mistaken as a person's leg.
