At the Capital of the Great Zhou.

It was 18th August. Besides an auspicious day, it was also the wedding day of Mu Yexiao, as known as Lord Xiao, and Qian Yuge, the daughter of Minister Qian.

A bridal carriage, together with a substantial amount of dowry and trousseau, were on their way to the Lord Xiao's residence. As the band celebrated this meaningful day, the parade attached the attention of everyone in town.

It was supposed to be a day worth celebrating for. Yet, a few men were sighing among the crowd.

"They would make a good match if Lord Xiao weren't injured."

His friends agreed, "You've heard about it too?"

"Lord Xiao injured himself at war, and will not be able to have young. Moreover, his legs have been crippled and his life is now at stake. Life is so unfair to him."

Another man added, "Exactly. However, the Qian family are men of their word. Even after learning that Lord Xiao is sterile, they still wed their daughter to him, hoping to bring some good luck to Lord Xiao."

"Hopefully this wedding can hasten his recovery."

Among the crowd, the conversation continued. The bride inside the shoulder carriage overheard the gossip.

Her lips curled upward before it turned into a disdainful grin. Is she Qian Yuge, the daughter of noble Qian family? No, she isn't. 

She was a soul hailed from modern time.

On top of that, she took over the body of an unlucky girl, who shared the same name as her, Qian Jiujiu.

The initial owner of this body was born on 9th September. As Minister Qian was too lazy to think of name for his daughter, Jiujiu was named after her birthday.

In fact, children born on 9th September were supposed to bring luck to their families.

Unfortunately, Qian Jiujiu was an exception. When she was born, the shaman told her parents that her presence will bring misfortune to her parents. As expected, her father's first wife was affected.

Right after she was born, her father's first wife fell ill.

Therefore, Qian Jiujiu, the cursed girl, and her mother were sent to a village outside of the Capital.

She spent 16 years in the village with no one caring for her.

This time, she was brought home only to marry Lord Xiao on behalf of her sister.

However, the foolish Qian Jiujiu actually fell head over heels in love with the Third Prince. When she learned that the wedding was proposed by the Third Prince, she immediately agreed to it.

Later, when she found out the truth, she felt as if she was going to killed by her sorrow. Indeed, she was now dead. When she was knocked unconscious and brought into the shoulder carriage, she breathed her last.

Then, the modern-day Qian Jiujiu came to replace her.

Qian Jiujiu was a physician who practiced both Chinese and Western medicines. She reckoned that she would thrive if she was to live in the ancient time.
