His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

She turns around. Her eyes become big when she sees me sitting on the bed. She is wearing the same blue pajama that I wore on the day I traveled to the day of my death and saw the timekeeper killing me. There is still some time before she travels to the future and begins this loop.

"Who... what... are you me?" She stammers with disbelief.

"Yes." I smile at her. "I have control now."

"Really?" She jumps happily. "I am so happy. You are here to tell me this news?"

I feel like I am paying a big price. I am erasing the younger me who is a different person. I wonder if my aunt also felt like this. Delaying will bring more problems. I need to stop her before she begins the last six months to her death.

"I am sorry." I smile at her sadly and hold her hand. Our soul synchronizes in an instant. My body disappears into the wind. I become her. The Kyuri from the past with the knowledge of the future and time crystal coursing through my veins. I hear a distant sound of cracking. I ignore the sound and change my clothes. I don't have time.

I take away the vials and dagger from the keeper's bag and put it inside my bag. I throw it in the garbage bin. I pick up my wallet, ID, and my phone from the table. I put my bag on my back. Someone knocks on my door.

"Kyuri?" It's Yoon Mi, my best friend. It's been a long time since I saw her. "Open the door."

I close my eyes and think of the crossroad. The day of the assassination at Li Manor. The scent of flowers is in the air. I am already here with a thought. The same spot in the garden.

The plump lady is charging toward me. I wonder why I didn't choose another time. It can't be helped. She looks at me, baffled.

"Where did they buy this slave from?"

It's astounding how I am mistaken for a slave twice at the same place.

"I am not a slave." I grab her wrist before she can seize me by my hair. "I am the messenger of God. Take me to your lord."

She cackles. I guess it is hard to believe my words. "I need to see your lord. I have a message for him."

"Lord Li doesn't have time for charlatans like you." The annoying plump lady rolls her eyes. "If he sees you, you will be punished mercilessly. You should stop trying your luck here and leave immediately."

This plump lady is actually good in heart. "Aunty, that won't happen. Let your lord decide whether I am a charlatan or not."

She sneers at me. "I will take you if you are so keen to die."

I follow her through the garden. I see the glimpse of Li Jun's siblings. I wonder where Li Jun is. I long to see him. We enter a courtyard.

"Who is this?" Lord Li, father of Li Jun, does resemble him a bit. Li Jun is sitting beside him with a book. He must be Lord Li's favorite son.

"Kneel." The plump lady whispers to me before she kneels. She says loudly, "Lord, she came to the manor and asked for you."

I can't look away from Li Jun. Last time, this boy had a gruesome memory of this day. I don't want this to happen to him again. "I am a witch. I am here to give you a warning."

The plump lady peeks at me from the corner of her eyes. I should have told her that I was a witch instead of a messenger of God. Lord Li furrows his brows. His wife or concubine, whoever she is, exclaims in fear. Li Jun blinks at me with awe. I should have worn a colorful witchy costume.

"Guards. Take this crazy woman away." He sends out a command. The guards suddenly drop from the ceiling around me and reach to grab me. I use the spray on their faces. It can repel the time crystal plant, but it's not useful on humans. Anyway, they are surprised. I run to the other side of the room and grab the woman who looks like one of his concubines.

"Listen to me first." I pull out the dagger and point at the woman. Everyone stops moving. "I am not here to harm anyone. I want to tell you that there is going to be an assassination attempt tonight on your family."

Lord Li laughs sarcastically. "Who would try to assassinate the Li family?"

"Your brother." The woman is crying in an annoying voice. Li Jun is clearly afraid. I am not leaving a good memory for him to remember. "If you don't believe me, you risk dying along with everyone in your house. If you believe me, you might survive and live. Not believing me might cost you a lot more than believing me and increase security. You should check for the spies and people who want to stab you in your back. You have to do it for your family. Take care of Li Jun well. He has a great destiny."

I choose that exact time to travel away. I return to the stable at night. I don't see Li Jun hiding behind the straws. The horses are fine too. Would he come here to hide if he didn't meet me? It is not likely. I walk toward the main gate. I see a crowd. Lord Li is holding a blade and looking down at the caught assassins.

"The messenger of the god is here." The plump lady screams when she sees me.

"..." Seriously!

Lord Li is surprised to see me again. I give him a nod and leave the Li Manor right away. It seems like the Li family will do well now.
