Sia got a call from Dr.Malvern ,she hurriedly pick it up.

"You think you can outshine me, Sai? I'll show you!" Dr. Malvern's voice echoed in the lab as he triggered the fatal blast.

"Malvern, what have you done?!" Sai's voice tightened with urgency as flames engulfed her.

"You thought your petty research would eclipse mine, Sai? This is your reckoning." Malvern's response was cold and calculating, barely concealing his rage.

Before Sai could utter another word, the explosion consumed everything—a blinding flash followed by darkness.

Moments later, Sai's consciousness flickered into awareness amidst the opulent surroundings of an ancient chamber. Disoriented and reeling from the sudden shift, memories of her life as Sai intermingled with the fragmented knowledge of her new existence as Princess Xueying.

"Where... where am I? This place... it feels familiar yet so distant." Xueying's voice trembled with disbelief as she struggled to make sense of her surroundings, the echoes of Dr. Malvern's betrayal still fresh in her mind.

As Xueying regained consciousness in the ancient chamber, the disorientation of her new existence collided with the vivid memories of Sai's tragic end in her previous life. The opulent surroundings only deepened her confusion, feeling simultaneously familiar and foreign.

Before she could gather her bearings, her siblings—her biological brother, the third prince, and the seventh prince—entered the chamber with disdain etched on their faces.

"You're awake, Xueying," the third prince sneered, his voice laced with contempt. "Do you even understand where you are? Or are you too busy daydreaming?"

Xueying met his gaze evenly, suppressing the urge to retaliate. "I am aware of my surroundings," she replied calmly, though her mind raced with strategies to navigate this unfamiliar world.

The seventh prince chuckled derisively. "Aware? More like lost, sister. You couldn't even handle a basic ceremony without tripping over your own robes."

Xueying clenched her fists but kept her tone measured. "I will prove myself in due time," she asserted, her voice carrying a quiet determination despite the turmoil within.

Her siblings exchanged amused glances, clearly relishing her discomfort. The third prince leaned closer, his voice low and mocking. "Remember your place, Xueying. This is not your old world where your petty knowledge might impress. Here, you're just another pawn in the game of power."

Xueying's jaw tightened, but she maintained her composure. Inside, she vowed to use their underestimation of her to her advantage. She would learn the intricacies of court politics, earn her place through her own merits, and when the time was right, reveal the depth of her abilities.

With a nod that betrayed nothing of her resolve, Xueying turned away from her mocking siblings, her mind already plotting her next moves in this new life as Princess Xueying, while silently lamenting the memory of Sai's tragic fate at the hands of Dr. Malvern she fell asleep.

Will sia be able to survive it this new place ?
