She felt like she survived two lifetimes as one individual.

The two of them had similar personalities. The difference was that the Han Jing from later life had gone through many hardships. She was more matured and reserved than the Lady Han from the previous life, who was an arrogant, domineering, and spoiled princess.

Lady Han from previous life had a lotus-shaped birthmark the size of a palm on her cheek, which the Han Jing from later life did not. Lady Han from the previous life was self-conscious about her face, so she behaved menacingly to conceal her insecurity. She figured that no one would mock her if she had a bad temper.

Han Jing from later life was born with water element powers, which Lady Han from previous life did not seem to have.

Han Jing sat abruptly. She extended her hand and focused as a few water droplets condensed on her palm. She sighed in relief. 

It was fortunate that her abilities did not disappear after her revival.

Her abilities needed to be triggered to activate. It was possible that Lady Han from the previous life had the same abilities but never discovered them due to the lack of triggers. Perhaps it was Han Jing’s revival that was the trigger.

The droplets on Han Jing’s palm formed into several ice daggers. She flung them towards a jade partition a few feet away from her bed. The daggers flew straight through the partition, shattering them before disappearing into thin air.

She noticed that her abilities were much weaker than before; barely even ten percent of her peak. She was not worried, however. How could she compare her 26-year-old self with 20 years worth of practice in using her powers, with the princess’ weak and delicate body?

Since the princess was only 16, Han Jing was confident that she could utilize this body to surpass her peak from the past. She would be able to reach new heights in another decade!

“My Lady! My Lady! What’s the matter,” Dong Bao shrieked in concern as she barged into the room.

She anxiously looked at the splinters on the floor. She turned around to look at Han Jing, who was as cool as a cucumber.

“My Lady…” she stuttered, “You… Are you alright?”

Han Jing did not respond.

Han Jing recalled that Lady Han from previous life had a habit of hurling things whenever she was upset, over half of the objects in the room had been replaced. Dong Bao panicked, thinking Lady Han was throwing a tantrum.

Indeed, Dong Bao approached her cautiously.

“My Lady, don’t worry,” she reassured softly. “I already assigned someone to investigate what happened last night. If Lady Han and Second Young Lady were up to mischief, Princess Yi Feng would not let this go when she returns! Don’t hurt yourself…” 

Although it was unlikely for Lady Han to self-harm, Dong Bao was still concerned. After all, she had no knowledge of what had happened the night before.

Han Jing was speechless. It seemed like Lady Han from the previous life was not only arrogant but also dumb and childish. She was indeed a spoilt brat!

Han Jing waved her arm, “I’m fine. Tell me when the investigation is done. I will not let those who plotted against me escape so easily!”

Dong Bao let out a huge sigh of relief after hearing Han Jing’s words. That was the reaction she expected from her. She was shocked.

It was getting late. Dong Bao glanced at the mess on the floor.

“My Lady,” Dong Bao whispered. “How about I get someone to prepare dinner? I’ll clear up this mess so that you can rest.”
