Scent of Time (2023) Episode 1

Oct 16, 2023

Hua Qian has always thought that when fate turns him into a supporting role for others, he can use all his tricks and scheming to turn himself into the protagonist. She wants to get the man she loves, and she wants to have what he wants. Whoever stops her, she will use color to make him irrecoverable. But fate did not favor her. Perhaps this is what the ancients said: "Evil will be rewarded with evil."

On a snowy night, Hua Qian, dressed in ragged clothes, was in a panic and didn't know where to run away. Behind her was a group of ferocious officers and soldiers. She burrowed into the grass like a bunny and disappeared into the night. But in the end, he was caught again because his clothes got caught on a branch. When I returned to the government office, my mother and brother had been killed by random sticks. Everyone pointed at her, laughed at her, and bluntly said that "evil will be punished". She suddenly felt that her eyes were blurry. Everything in the past was so clear, but yet so far away. Finally, there was some scarlet blood on the white snow. If he could do his life over again, Hua Qian would definitely make changes.

When he woke up again, Hua Qian saw his personal maid Qian Zhi. But she clearly remembered that Qian Zhi had died long ago. Before she came to her senses, Qian Zhi told her again that today was her happy day to marry into the Zhong family. But this day obviously happened two years ago. She pinched her face hard and was pleasantly surprised to find that all this was true. She really went back to two years ago. She hurriedly went to see her mother, but the servant's voice stopped her. When Zhong Yelan heard that the Mu girl was in trouble, he hurried out of the house regardless of the bride in the wedding room, and even asked the servant to lie that he had already rested. Hua Qian didn't care, because she knew that Zhong Yelan wouldn't come back tonight.

All the past events flashed before Hua Qian's eyes like a revolving lantern. Because he pretended to be Mu Yao and approached Zhong Yelan, he drugged her to get married, and then framed the Mu family and sent her to jail. After all the truth was revealed, Hua Qian was kicked out and became a street rat. The Hua family died and were exiled, and none of them had a good ending. But now, God must be giving Hua Qian a chance to change his ways. She secretly vowed not to go back again.

The Zhong family controls all the incense used by the royal family. Even the current eldest princess is married to the Zhong family, so it is quite prestigious in this remote town. The Hua family holds the purchasing power and is a wealthy and luxurious person in this area. Now that the two families are getting married, the people are naturally talking about it. But at this time, not everyone in the Zhong Mansion had a smile on their face. Early the next morning, Zhong Yelan finally returned home. In front of everyone, he was quite protective of Hua Qian. But when he got on the carriage and there was no one around, he took off his disguise and didn't want to pay attention to Hua Qian anymore. Hua Qian was not upset, knowing that Zhong Yelan must be anxious about Mu Yao at this time.

The carriage moved forward slowly and finally arrived at Zhong's Garden. After meeting Zhong Xiwu, the head of the Zhong family, Hua Qian couldn't help but fall into deep thought. She didn't understand what was so good about Mu Yao that he actually fascinated the two Zhong brothers. Just as he was thinking about it, the two brothers had already left the door. Although Zhong Yelan also had the surname Zhong, he was not a bloodline of the Zhong family. He was just a close disciple of the former head of the Zhong family, Zhong Xiwu's father.

For Hua Qian, the first step to change is to change his image in front of the eldest princess. Although she was still a little at a loss, at least this time, the eldest princess did not leave her alone in the side hall. When they arrived at the pool, Hua Qian somehow fell into the pool. If they were frightened, everyone was even more curious about when Hua Qian learned to swim. As everyone knows, Hua Qian learned a lot during that year of exile. In order not to arouse suspicion, she had to pretend to be weak and let the maid help her down.

Hua Qian was washing up when a familiar face suddenly appeared in the mirror. It was her uncle's sister Huaman. From Hua Man, Hua Qian instantly understood that the eldest princess had already set her sights on him.
