Sixteen.

                                    

                                          

The princess already knew it was Jian. 'How dare she sneak into the palace and pretend to be someone else lying to royal grandmother I'll have you exposed you lowly peasant.' Bai ju thought to herself. 
"I notice my husband wouldn't stop looking at you all night through the whole dance and I want to see your special beauty take off your veil." The princess Told her.
But before she could someone came and took her away, he flew up in the air and left with her. 
"Who are you?" She asked. 
This anonymous person with a mask refused to speak and put her down on the ground. 
"It doesn't matter who I am, but..after your mothers passing you entered this magical painting..and i am your key to getting out but remember you can never get out of this painting until you become the one, and find your other half, you are the woman in the painting." This man said and then suddenly disappeared.
She widened her eye. "a hint to getting out of this place Ahaha!!! Finally!!" She said happily. 
"Guards chase, there is something suspicious about her." The princess said. 
"It is a peaceful night why don't we just let it go? Maybe she didn't want to reveal her identity..princess bai ju don't be upset okay?" The grandmother said smiling. 
'Fine I'll let you go this time.' The princess thought to herself. 
"Your right royal grandmother im sorry, let's continue this wonderful night." The princess said acting kind and innocent. 
Once the night was over Jian went to meet up with the other girls. 
"Where we're you?" Chang mi asked jian. 
"That stupid princess tried to expose me in front of everyone." Jian said annoyed. 
"Did you run away?" Chang mi asked. 
"No..some strange person saved me..and I also found a hint of how I will get out of this world." Jian said smiling. 
"What do you mean?" 
"I'll explain it to you clearly when we are back at the brothel." 
They had a long journey back. 
After they arrived in the brothel and we're both in the rooms Jian tried to explain to her best friend the best she could about the whole situation. 
"So I come from a different world than yours, it's much more different and easier there, there's a thing called a phone and you can use it to communicate with others easier than writing letters like how you do in this world."
"but anyways my mother was an artist..before she died and she had made this pretty painting and  it was suppose to be me I think and I don't know who that man is in the painting but..it was a wife and a husband so it was probably my gift  if I ever get married."
"My big sister from the other world told me to go look at the paintings.. my mother had left me..when I was looking at the painting I was somehow teleported into this world, now I'm in your world and I'm trying to get out..so I can go back to my world and that mysterious man was my first hint." 
"So your from another place far from here? And some magical painting put you here?" Chang Mi asked. 
"Yeah..and I'm going to find a way back to where I really live." Jian said. 
"But you can't leave me..what about being best friends forever and roaming the world together?" Chang mi asked sadly. 
"I'm sorry I don't wanna leave you either but..I don't know how it is right now in my world.. my big sister might've been worried about me this whole time, maybe I'm even missing in my world too..and I need to get back..my big sister is probably alone right now..because after mom died it was only me and her..so if I'm missing she won't have anyone there." Jian tried to explain. 
"I understand, since your my best friend I'll try my best to help you too, I wish I could come to your world with you..because if you leave me then I'll go back to being alone.." Chang Mi said. 
"Maybe if I see that mysterious man again I could ask him if you could accompany me to my world." Jian told her having some hope. 
"Yes! I'm not leaving without you." She said hugging her best friend. 
"Then you'll be with me if possible." Jian told her.
