THOJ Chapter 3

 Chapter 3:  Her 12-Year Dream

Su Erguniang's expression was dull, and she pinched Su Xiaodi: "Isn't it a dream?" Su Xiaodi screamed: "It hurts——" Su Erguniang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that it hurts, it's really not a dream. Erge, you've escaped!" At this moment, Su Taitai came back to her senses and looked at her handsome son with tears. It is tears of joy.

If it wasn't for the sake of the Su family, she wouldn't have been able to bear the disgust and listen to Sheng Dataitai's words! Su Yao stepped forward and patted Mrs. Su's arm: "It is my son's fault for burdening you with trouble." He gazes at the door, thinking of Luo Sheng's behavior which was very different from the past, he was a bit puzzled. Will Luo Sheng really let him go?

Su Daguniang commanded the maids to sweep inside and outside the house, her voice was brisk: "Everyone should be quick to sweep away the bad luck!" Those maids laughed crisply: "Miss, don't worry, we will definitely clean up well."

The Sheng family member who left the Su Mansion felt much heavier. Sheng Jia Yu approached Luo Sheng, gritted her teeth, and asked, "Luo Sheng, what tricks are you playing?" Sheng Dataitai glanced at her daughter and said with a warning: "Jia Yu, where's your manner? Address your cousin with biaojie." "Mother—" Sheng Jia Yu stomped her feet unconvinced. She is a few months younger than Luo Sheng, so she should address Luo Sheng as "biaojie". But Luo Sheng doesn't behave like her age, so she can't bring herself to call Luo Sheng biaojie.

Sheng Dataitai, of course, understands her daughter's feelings. After pretending to reprimand her daughter, she asked Luo Sheng: "Why is biaoguniang suddenly want to cancel the marriage arrangement?" If, at the expense of Su Ergongzi, the peace of Sheng and Su families and even the entire Jinsha County can be achieved, he is a worthy sacrifice.

Luo Sheng frowned slightly: "Does Dajiumu hopes that my marriage with Su Ergongzi can be accomplished?" These words nearly scared Sheng Jia Yu to death, and she yanked Sheng Dataitai's sleeve. Sheng Dataitai dared not ask any more questions, and she couldn't help but speed up her steps. The Sheng's and Su family's mansions were close. The group quickly returned to Sheng's mansion and went straight to Funing Hall to visit Sheng Laotaitai.


Sheng Laotaitai's heart fluctuated, and when she saw Luo Sheng return, she hurriedly asked why. Luo Sheng saluted her and said lightly: "Perhaps grandmother misunderstood, I never had the intention of getting engaged to Su Ergongzi. I am not feeling well, so I have to go back to my room first." As soon as Luo Sheng left, Sheng Laotaitai couldn't hold back anymore and asked Luo Chen worriedly: "Chen'er, does your sister take favor to another man again?"


Luo Chen's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he tried to argue: "Jiejie is not someone who is so quick to change her mind..." He will keep an eye on her this time, if Luo Sheng dares to act recklessly, he will beat her to death! Sheng Jia Yu patted Luo Chen on the shoulder with a serious face: "Biaodi, you must not understand your sister." Sheng Laotaitai sighed and motioned for the two to leave the room, leaving her with her two daughters-in-law to discuss Luo Sheng's marriage.


"Since Commander Luo has entrusted Luo Sheng's marriage to me as her grandmother. I think the faster we settle her marriage, the better." If Luo Sheng continues to cause problems, the Sheng family will offend everyone in Jinsha County. Sheng Dataitai and Ertaitai agree with her: "What Laotaitai said is very true."


Sheng Laotaitai raised her hand and rubbed her temples, and with regret on her face: "Problem is, that girl now is unwilling to be married to Su family. In this case, which family do you think is appropriate?" Sheng Dataitai laughed: "Miss Luo's standard is high, and I am afraid it will be difficult to find the right one for a while."


"Yeah, anyways, there are only a few young men in Jinsha County who are a good match with Miss Luo." Sheng Ertaitai followed. She heard several families had sent their handsome and prominent sons out of town to study or travel to escape Miss Luo's claws. Really embarrassing!


Sheng Laotaitai scanned her two daughters-in-law and said her thoughts: "Luo Sheng has three biaoge and one biaodi, all of which have the appropriate age, it is better to choose one of them." Sheng family has had a good reputation for many years. Instead of letting that girl harm others, keeping her at home is better. Anyway, she is Luo Sheng's grandmother, and with her presence, Luo Sheng couldn't make too much trouble. Sheng Laotaitai's words were like a thunderstorm that nearly killed her two daughters-in-law. 


Sheng Dataitai stood up sharply, holding her forehead and shaking: "My heart palpitations have relapsed, I will go back to my room to eat a Baoxin pill ..." Sheng Ertaitai hurriedly helped Sheng Dataitai: "I will help Dataitai return to her room." In the blink of an eye, the two daughters-in-law ran away, leaving only the old lady alone. Is there no one willing to sacrifice? She has misjudged them!


Just as Luo Sheng entered the room, Hongdou leaned over and asked with a smile: "Miss, have you taken a fancy to another young master? Tell me which one, this maid will snatch him back for you." Luo Sheng poured himself a cup of tea, took a few sips, and stared at the floating green buds in the teacup. Hongdou had never seen her miss so quiet, felt a little strange momentarily, and asked cautiously, "Miss, is there something wrong?"


Luo Sheng looked at Hongdou. Although this little maid uttered outrageous words, the worry on her face was genuine. Luo Sheng held the teacup slightly with her fingertips and asked the words that had been hovering in her heart since she woke up in this body: "Hongdou, do you know Zhen Nan Wang Palace?" 


She is not Luo Sheng, the beloved daughter of Commander Luo, but Qingyang Xiangzhu of Zhen Nan Wang Palace! She died, and when she opened her eyes again, her soul was trapped in someone else's body. But she didn't know anything about this person's situation, so she had to use all her strength to control the overwhelming hatred and pain she felt before she died and calmly understand the current situation.


"Zhen Nan Wang Palace?" Hong Dou thought about it seriously, with a blank expression, "I've never heard of it." Luo Sheng's heart sank, and her knuckles holding the teacup were faintly white. Her father is the only Prince (Wang) with a different surname in Da Zhou Dynasty. Although Jinsha County is not under the jurisdiction of Zhen Nan Wang, many people in Da Zhou should know about it.


Luo Sheng calmed down and asked again: "Then what about Ping Nan Wang Palace?" If she doesn't know the Zhen Nan Wang Palace, perhaps she doesn't know the Ping Nan Wang Palace either. Unexpectedly, Hongdou laughed after being stunned: "Miss, are you testing this maid? Who doesn't know about the Ping Nan Wang Palace. The emperor adopted the eldest son of Ping Nan Wang seven years ago and made him the crown prince (taizi). Everyone in the Ping Nan Wang Palace has moved to the capital, and you even have met the crown prince..."


The blood on Luo Sheng's face faded completely, and she no longer heard the words Hongdou spoke later. She suppressed her thundering heartbeat and asked tremblingly, "What year is it now?" "The seventeenth year of Yong An." Hong Dou replied without thinking. With a bang, the teacup in Luo Sheng's hand fell and shattered.


The seventeenth year of Yong An—she died and then woke up, how could twelve years have passed? What happened in the past twelve years, and why what Hongdou said was so absurd and ridiculous? Hongdou was startled and hurriedly squatted down to clean up the broken porcelain on the floor: "Miss, be careful with your feet—hey, what is this?"


The little maid took out a white silk from the gap between the curtain and the screen, stared at it for a moment, seemed to remember something, and quickly threw the white silk in her hand: "Bah, bah, what a bad luck!"



TN: there are several levels of a princess in China dynasty. It depends on which dynasty, but there is the three that are commonly used in web novels (as far as I know):

1. Gongzhu: Emperor's daughter

2. Junzhu: Emperor's granddaughter
3. Xiangzhu: Someone with a connection to the emperor; could also be an honorary title

THOJ Chapter 1

 TO HOLD'S ONE JOY  Chapter 1: Devil Incarnate Luo Sheng gazed at the engraved silver incense ball beneath the emerald green curtain. Her eyes, which before had been full of vigor, seemed a little dull now, and the chattering of the little maid in her ears became louder as a result. "Miss, isn't it just a Su Er Gongzi [1] ? If you like him, you could capture him directly, but hanging yourself for him is not worth it, hu hu hu..." Luo Sheng shifted her gaze to the little maid who was crying at the bedside. This little maid's name is Hongdou (red bean), and she can speak and cry at the same time. It's been three days since she heard Hongdou's chatters, and she's gained a general understanding of her situation. Her present body, Luo Sheng, is the daughter of the powerful Commander Luo, the chief commander of Jinlin Guards. She was sent to her maternal ancestral home in Jinsha County, the Sheng family's mansion, where she currently resides, after getti

To Hold One's Joy Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Kaiyang Wang's Greetings Luo Sheng returned to the Luo Mansion and went straight to her room, never stepping outside again. Si Nan had been freed, but it left her feeling burdened. After all, her heart wasn't made of iron. Pingli was furious upon learning that Luo Sheng had killed Si Nan. "Didn't Fifth Brother accompany Third Miss? Why did you allow her to lay her hands on the criminal?" he demanded of Yundong. "Third Miss said that she wanted to speak privately with Si Nan... I'm sorry, Eldest Brother, I didn't anticipate that Third Miss would take such action," Yundong apologized, though his heart harbored no remorse. The man was killed in Jinlin Guards Prison, so the news would remain suppressed unless Pingli chose to disclose it. Pingli might have considered leaking the information if Godfather had not regained consciousness. However, now that Godfather was awake, he didn't think Pingli dared to do so. Pingli obviously also un

To Hold One's Joy Chapter 57-1

 Chapter 57-1: Divine Doctor's Visit The echo of footsteps resonated as an elderly man emerged from behind the screen, causing Luo Sheng's eyelashes to quiver. In comparison to a decade ago, Divine Doctor Li had scarcely changed. His hair remained silver without a hint of other colors, and his eyes shone with more vitality than those of young people. Time seems to have forgotten this old man, leaving his unaltered appearance to evoke a sense of familiarity in Luo Sheng. However, the same couldn't be said for Divine Doctor Li. He stared at the unfamiliar young girl before him with a grim expression and addressed her sternly, "Where's the Yangyuan Pill?" Luo Sheng handed him a small box. Upon opening it and seeing the pills inside, Divine Doctor Li's eyes shrank. He brought the box close to his nose, took a sniff, and his expression soured. "Where did you get this pill?" he asked. Luo Sheng blinked. Her bright eyes showed surprise. "Yo
