Cold Lake!

Yaocheng is famous for it, Hanhu occupies almost half the size of Yaocheng. At a glance, it looks like a mirror embedded in the ground. On sunny days, the water sparkles, and on rainy days, the mountains are shrouded in mist. Countless poets and writers have left behind admiring poems here, which made the name of Hanhu famous and also made people remember Yaocheng.

The chilly autumn lake, shimmering with ripples, although a gentle cold wind blows over it. But under the autumn sun, the surrounding area of the Cold Lake embankment is still bustling with activity. Enjoy this scenery at Cold Lake!

But in such a scene, there was one figure that stood out. His appearance was ordinary, his face pale and thin, with some stubble on his chin. His eyes lacked any sparkle. Yet, despite this sickly image, those lifeless eyes were fixed on the bustling crowd passing by. Occasionally, when someone large like a snowball would pass through, a rare spark of light flickered in those eyes.

He leaned against a willow tree, looking at everyone who passed by. He had a carefree air about him!

"I hadn't expected that after three years away, there would be so many new faces in Yao City!"

That year, his blatant gaze also made the beauties disgusted and they avoided him one after another. Seeing this, that year he laughed and said: "Alright! It seems impossible to find someone to talk about life ideals and give them a poem like 'Stop and Sit Under the Maple Trees in Late Autumn.'"

Several pretty young girls, who were all very flirtatious, avoided looking at him and whispered to each other: “Do you guys feel that this guy kinda looks like the jerk from Yaocheng?!”

"Well! It does look a bit like it, no wonder I felt eyes on me!"

I saw several people spitting, with expressions of disgust. Even after three years of refining my heart in this world, I still feel a bit of bitterness in my heart.

Nian Ye Chu wasn't originally from this world, but he ended up here because of a drunken stupor. In his past life, Ye Chu was unrestrained and lived a dissolute life as a high-ranking executive who frequented nightclubs. Three years ago, one night after getting completely drunk at a bar, Ye Chu, holding onto a stunning woman he had just met, stumbled into her room. He made a drunken move towards her chest, intending to "break through" like the snow on a winter day, but she dodged in surprise. Ye Chu, instead, hit his head against the door and mysteriously found himself transported to this new world, his soul inhabiting a man named Ye Chu who was older than him.

Even though he had become parasitic to this body, Ye Chu still retained most of the original owner's memory fragments. And from these fragments, Xu Feng also knew what kind of person the original owner was.

Before Ye Chu regained the memories of his previous life, he already felt that his past self was pathetic enough. But compared to the original owner, Ye Chu felt that his previous life was wasted, insulting the pure concept of "pathetic"!

In Ye Chu's eyes, the original owner was utterly deplorable, beyond description. His wickedness was so appalling that it was unimaginable to ordinary people. When he set his sights on a jade carving from a small family, he directly led his men to demolish their house and snatched the carving away.

His followers set their eyes on a young boy and actually urged the followers to take him by force.

But just like that, taking what he wants by force and bullying others is already considered good conduct for him!

Although Yè Chǔ had no power in his past life, he was somewhat intelligent. He used his wit and family connections to nearly ruin the city of Yào.

The original owner attempted to drug his grandmother, Yi Lin Shi Xin, while visiting his grandfather's home. After fleeing back home, he also targeted his far-off cousin, Ji Die, who was visiting and had a reputation for beauty throughout the empire.

And this thoroughly enraged his grandfather, Duke Weiyuan, who was furious and beat him severely. He even sent him out of Yaocang City to fend for himself.

The previous owner was just such a scoundrel. Back then, Ye Chu in Yaoyang City had a notorious reputation, almost to the point of being an infamous figure that everyone despised. Adding to that, he was stubborn and refused to cultivate, so all sorts of insults – scum, waste, animal – could be hurled at him.

Yè Chǔ originally thought that after three years, this Yáo City would forget him. He hadn't expected that the people of Yáo City's hatred for him was so deep that even after three years, some still remembered him.

Ye Chu had always thought that in his next life, he should be a human and marry a man as excellent as himself. However, he never expected that in his next life, he would be reborn as someone with such a notorious reputation. Ye Chu felt that a genius like him, an elegant and gentle extraordinary man, should be someone that even the gods and Buddhas would carefully protect. But unexpectedly, all the gods and Buddhas directly killed him to a stench. Ye Chu suddenly felt that being excellent was also a kind of pain. There's a saying that popular people have short lives, but for outstanding men, it applies equally!

"It's really not good for a man to be too outstanding! He'll be envied!" Ye Chu sighed, thinking to herself that she didn't know how many people would stay up all night when she passed away.

……

“Auntie! Flowers… there are flowers…” A child’s excited voice interrupted Ye Chu’s thoughts. Ye Chu followed the sound and saw a child bouncing to the edge of Han Lake. The child was quite beautiful, about five or six years old, with a radiant smile on her fair face.

Behind the child followed a stunning woman. She was extremely beautiful, with a captivating face, a head of jet-black hair that fell to her shoulders, a delicate and pretty face, a straight nose, and luscious red lips. Her slender waist was tightly bound, making her chest appear even more prominent. The thin fabric barely covered her long legs. Just looking at her eyes gave one the feeling of incredible allure.

Even though Ye Chu's memory held the images of Lin Shixin and Ji Die's beauty, seeing this one still brought a sense of awe.

"Auntie, Yaoyao wants that flower..." The child pointed to a dazzling unknown flower blooming by the icy lake, her voice brimming with excitement, a joyful expression lighting up her pretty face.

The child's mother followed behind her child, watching as the child reached out with their hand toward the flower and exclaimed urgently, "Yaoyao, be careful!"

But the warning came too late. The child’s foot slipped, and with a sudden splash, they fell into the icy water.

"Yao Yao!" Zi cried out in a panic, rushing over this way.

“Ah…save me…Auntie…” The child flailed in the water, frantically waving their arms. Their head bobbed up and down on the surface, calling out with sobs. But unable to swim, after splashing about wildly, they slowly sank beneath the surface, leaving no trace behind, only ripples disturbed by the water.

"Yaoyao!" Zi cried out in alarm, "Please everyone, help save her."

The panicked cries for help went unanswered, and there were no swimmers around.

The child, watching the rolling bubbles rise up, forgot that he couldn't swim and jumped into the lake.

Han Lake is famous, not only for its beauty but also for its depth and chill.

He jumped down, diving straight into the water. But how could someone who couldn't swim save anyone? The one who jumped in was struggling too, their hands beating against the surface of the lake, creating streaks of white foam like flowers. However, after a few struggles and gulps of water, they sank to the bottom as well.

"Save YaoYao... Help..."

The words were cut off, and the man was drowned by the water. The few men who had just called Ye Chu a scum saw this scene, their faces pale with shock, and shouted to all around: "Come and save people! Two people have fallen into the water!"

But obviously no one around dared to try and save the person. Lake Han is dangerous, and someone who falls in could easily be caught by the water plants. Unless you know the lake very well, no one would dare to go down there.

Just when several people were anxiously waiting, they saw a man who had been called an idiot running towards them from afar. With a leap, he jumped into the lake.

Several people looked at each other, one muttered: "It seems like only that kind of scum would come to save people. If it were that scum, he wouldn't go into the water to save people, he would just throw stones from the shore."
