Mrs Long or Mrs Long miao as she was normally called had noticed the changes in her daughter Long xu lan. She noticed that her daughter was no longer laughing or smiling. She wasn't even as dotting as she used to be to her younger brother Long Chen. Mrs Long believed that it was all because of what had happened that was why her daughter became more reserved and withdrawn unknown to her that her daughter's body had been occupied by the soul of an assassin.
Since Iris woke up, Mrs Long had been taking so much care of her and for someone like her who never received parental love in her previous life because she lost her mother at a young age and her father was always busy with work. The love Mrs Long showed her was foreign but found a way to melt the frozen heart of hers.
Iris found herself loving the mother and son duo and even began to dote on Long Chen.
But she couldn't remain in the house when her acquired memories only gave her a brief description of the world she was in. So she decided to visit the library with her mother who was the village Liberian.
The only thing she knew was that she was in a small village called winter wood village which was located in the outskirts of the southern region of Xuan Yuan empire.
It's been a month now and Iris had regain a bit of her energy. And she planned to visit the library that very day.
Iris took her bath and stood in front of the mirror to observe her new self. Long xu lan had long black hair and brown eyes that had red hues to it which people hardly ever noticed. Long xu lan was a very beautiful girl with a dimple on the left side of her cheek. And she always attracted the attention of men as well as the jealousy and envy of women.
"Mother" Iris called out, now getting used to addressing Mrs Long that way.
"Oh dear! What are you doing out of bed? You just recovered a month ago. Go back to bed I'll call you when breakfast is ready" Mrs Long says
"Where's little Chen?" Iris asks instead.
"Oh your brother went out on a stroll around the market" Mrs Long answers.
"Alright. Mother are you going to the library today?" Iris asks.
"Ah yes" Mrs Long replies while adding ingredients into the soup on the stove.
"I would like to go with you" Iris says.
"Ah is there a reason dear?" Mrs Long asks.
"No I just feel suffocated at home" Iris replies.
"Alright then, you can tag along" Mrs Long says with a warm smile.
Iris released a breath of relief because she thought her mother would ask her to stay home and she had already planned how to sneak out of the house if her mother doesn't agree.
And so, she followed her mother to the library to find out more about her new world.
