After returning from the Qin Dynasty, Ye Shikai finds himself suffering from amnesia but insists he time-traveled. Zhang Ting, the policewoman who found him, is skeptical but agrees to take him back to Yanjing. Ye Shikai then reveals he needs to find his wife, He Linghan, whom he married during his two years in the Qin Dynasty, causing Zhang Ting to believe he has lost his mind. Zhang Ting contacts Su Qingyu for help, as Ye Shikai refuses to leave Linxian and is determined to return to the Qin Dynasty to find He Linghan.

To find He Linghan, I must travel back to the Qin Dynasty again, but this is not like going to any place in the world; these are entirely two different timelines. Initially, I stumbled upon crossing over, and now I accidentally crossed back. It’s not that easy to return...

Ye Shikai forced himself to calm down; since he could travel back then, there must be a way to return again. Thinking carefully, he was at the Holy Mountain when he encountered a strong light, and then he traveled to the Qin Dynasty. Right, it was the strong light; Ye Shikai felt enlightened and immediately had a direction. There were too many incredible things at the Holy Mountain relics, and if he returned to Holy Mountain, he might have a chance to return to the Qin Dynasty.

But the Holy Mountain relic is not an ordinary attraction; if it’s not the opening time, no one can enter, nor can anyone predict the next opening time.

Changing his thought process, why did he wake up in that unknown tomb? Since he returned from there, could he also go back through there?

"Right, it’s that tomb." Ye Shikai suddenly stood up, startling Zhang Ting.

"Hey, what are you up to now?"

"I’m going outside."

"Wait." Zhang Ting quickly stopped him, taking away the instant noodles on the table, "You’re free to go, but at least fill your stomach first. Don’t eat this non-nutritious stuff."

"Sharpening the knife won’t delay the cutting of firewood. Besides, someone is coming to see you this afternoon. Even if you want to go, a few hours won’t make a difference. When the time comes, I’ll help you find whatever you’re looking for."

Finally, after Zhang Ting’s earnest persuasion, Ye Shikai finally "calmed down."

"Alright, now there are only the two of us here. Where have you been these two months?" Zhang Ting planned to sit calmly and listen to how he explained, even if all this sounded so "absurd," she tried to understand. Maybe what he said was true.

"I went to the Qin Dynasty, and I stayed there for two years." Ye Shikai explained, "From the 35th year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the rule of the court began to have problems, and there were rebellious forces everywhere..."

"Enough, enough, don’t say anymore; I never passed history in my childhood." Zhang Ting waved her hand; she wasn’t interested in listening to Ye Shikai’s "history lesson."

"By the way, can you do me a favor?" Ye Shikai took out his old phone from the Storage Ring and handed it to Zhang Ting.

"This phone isn’t worth much, but the videos and photos inside are very important. However, it seems to be broken now; could you help me find a place to repair it?"

"Don’t worry, just leave it to me." Zhang Ting nodded and agreed, there are special restoration methods in the police department. To be honest, she also wanted to see the crossing "evidence" in the phone; if Ye Shikai wasn’t lying, it would be an earth-shattering news.

"You said you married a wife there named... He Linghan, right?" Zhang Ting continued to ask.

"Yes."

"But you are already married, remember? Miss Chen is still pregnant now." Zhang Ting’s words hit like a hammer, making Ye Shikai calm down instantly, turning to a despondent expression. He had forgotten a lot of people and things after being in the Qin Dynasty for so long, but he never forgot Chen Yuxin. He indeed once loved her, but marrying her involved unspeakable reasons. If she weren’t pregnant, Ye Shikai would never have married her; they carried the name of husband and wife, yet it was just nominal. This marriage to him was merely shackles and pain.

"I will explain it to her..." After a long time, Ye Shikai managed to say this sentence.

"Explain it? She’s still pregnant with your child. Speaking of which, it’s strange; if she’s pregnant, she should be at home resting, yet no phone calls are getting through."

"You couldn’t reach her by phone?" Ye Shikai asked back.

"Yes, and the people from Chen Group refuse to reveal where she went."

"Where did she go?" Ye Shikai murmured. There’s only one kind of place in the world that loses contact with the outside, and that’s the relic.

Bang.

At this moment, the door to the room slowly opened. Ye Shikai turned to look, and the two looked at each other. Gradually, his eyes grew a little wet. In front of him was a familiar yet strange person.

"Ling’er." Ye Shikai involuntarily uttered.

"Miss Su, you finally came; I can hardly bear him anymore." Zhang Ting greeted her like a savior, quickly stepping forward.

"Officer Zhang, I owe you thanks; he was missing for two months, without a trace, and now he’s finally found." Su Qingyu continuously thanked, then walked towards Ye Shikai.

"Where exactly have you been these two months, everyone is looking for you." Su Qingyu felt very relieved; logically speaking, her current identity shouldn’t be overly concerned, but Ye Shikai had been missing for so long that she couldn’t hold back. So, upon hearing the news from Zhang Ting, she immediately rushed to Linxian, canceling all the group meetings.

"Ling’er."

"What? Who is Ling’er?" Su Qingyu asked curiously. Ye Shikai shook his head violently, making himself sober a bit. The person in front of him was Su Qingyu, not He Linghan.

But come to think of it, the two were too alike, as if carved from the same mold.

"Cough cough, it’s a long story." Zhang Ting lightly coughed, reluctant to explain for Ye Shikai. Unexpectedly, he had married another wife during his two-month disappearance, and according to him, he had married an ancient woman.

"Brother, I’m here."

"Boss, I’m here too." At this time, Zi Yun and Worm also came in from outside; they came together with Su Qingyu.

"Who are you?" Ye Shikai looked at the man and woman in front, appearing somewhat puzzled.

"Don’t you remember them?" Su Qingyu was quite astonished; she had met Zi Yun and Worm before, and they were members of Netherworld Palace, how could Ye Shikai forget?

"Brother, are you joking with me?" Zi Yun exclaimed.

"Don’t mention it, when we found him last night, he didn’t remember me either. If I didn’t have a photo of us together on my phone, he probably wouldn’t believe me." Zhang Ting explained.

"Maybe he has amnesia?" Su Qingyu asked back.

"Not entirely, he should remember some things, like he still remembered your name."

"Cough cough, anyway, since he has amnesia, it’s because he encountered something. We should go to the hospital for a check-up first." Su Qingyu felt Ye Shikai’s strangeness; two months unseen, he seemed like a different person.

"No, I can’t go; I still need to find Ling’er." Ye Shikai refused.
