Ancient China exploration

My name is Robert Stone and at 45 I have achieved success in the field of archeology and I love my job. I have a wife and children, but archeology has always come first. But I didn't really want to go on this expedition. Of all history, I know historical China the worst of all, and for some reason this part of history was never interesting to me, but I still agreed.

In the evening, sitting in my office, I examined the old mirror, which they found with the archaeologists.

"Hmm, there's some kind of inscription, let's see what that means." I was able to translate some hieroglyphs myself.

"It is written here that everyone who looks in the mirror in the year of the dragon, then something about the stars, and says" Jiohuan ", then agrees to exchange, he will receive the life of another who also wants it. What nonsense"

I smiled and looked in the mirror and said "Jiohuang" with a smile. I was about to put down the mirror, but I saw the face of a Chinese girl there in the reflection. She was also surprised and said something, but I did not understand her. I was very surprised even by this fact. She looked at me fearfully and repeated some words several times. I was not at a loss and repeated the same expression and suddenly I seemed to be electrocuted.

I still held the mirror and saw the face of the same girl in the reflection, but now she was not scared, he calmly looked in the mirror and was silent. I started to say something and saw that the girl in the reflection completely repeats my words as if it were my reflection.

At that moment, someone tore the mirror from me like this

- Xiaoming, who allowed you to touch the imperial things?!?!

It was some kind of Chinese man about 40-50 years old in ancient Chinese clothes. He was angry and looked at me. Surprisingly, I understood everything he said, although he certainly spoke Chinese or even Old Chinese. I saw that my room had changed and now everything was in the old way. I looked at him in shock and did not understand what was happening

- You stupid servant! I told the hostess that you cannot be trusted!

He walked in my direction, and at that moment I realized that I was definitely not sitting in my chair now, but sitting on my knees on some soft material. I felt a strange weight on my chest, but at that moment he grabbed my hand and made me rise.

... 

I did not even try to escape, because I was in a state of shock and prostration, besides, I felt that he squeezed my hand very tightly and led me out of this room somewhere

- Naughty girl! If not me, but our mistress came here, it would be much worse! You are lucky that only I saw that you touch the master's things!

I walked and noticed that not only the room and things around had changed. My body also became different, I realized this as soon as he grabbed my hand and lifted me up, because he felt and saw a large cleavage with a woman's breast, which was now definitely mine and it was definitely large and atypical for Asian girls. My clothes were completely different, instead of the usual jeans and a shirt, I was wearing some kind of dress or kimono and I did not feel anything between my legs. I had strange thoughts that I had somehow swapped bodies with this Chinese girl, but I just couldn't understand that this was possible. In my entire life, I have never met something like this.

We went through several corridors and reached a room. All this way, the old Chinese man said something, but I remembered almost nothing. For a second I was left alone and was able to examine myself. I was definitely wearing a kimono, and underneath it was like a woman's body. I was convinced that this was not an illusion when I grabbed my new chest with my hand and felt my own touch not only with my palms, but also with my chest, and with the other hand I checked that now I definitely did not have a male device. For a moment I got a little horny.

I looked at the wall and saw an incredibly beautiful girl in a kimono in an unnatural position. She had an odd big haircut on her head. She looked at me and repeated all my movements and I recognized this girl from the mirror. I touched my hair and the girl did the same thing, only now I noticed that something uncomfortable on my head was my hairstyle.

- Ah, Xiaoming. Are you looking at yourself in the mirror again ?! Yes, you are certainly a beauty, it was not for nothing that our emperor chose you as a concubine. Why are you looking at me like that ?! I'm here to know everything, so don't be surprised

He came up to me and gave me a tray with some rolls of paper. I completely disliked the information that he called me the emperor's concubine more and more I disliked what was happening here.

I needed to find this mirror again, but I already understood that it would be very difficult to do it.

- You will bring this bundle now ...

I no longer listened to him and thought only about how to get out of here.

... 

The feeling of my new body, this whole environment and setting, it’s all wrong. Who is this man?! Why am I here ?! Why am I in this body and why am I understanding it !? It does not happen that people change bodies, and even more so somehow find themselves in the past! All this is some kind of hallucination or prank!

- Xiaoming! Are you not listening to me !? I tell you very important things!

It was as if I had been electrocuted again and I suddenly realized for sure that it was now my reality, although it all seemed like some kind of nonsense. I looked at this old man and said

- I need a mirror

There was absolute silence and for the first time I noticed exactly how my voice sounded. I didn't speak English at all, it was definitely Ancient Chinese! And my voice, it was like the voice of a child.

- What mirror ?! The one that you touched at the hostess in the room, although you only had to take this paper roll from there ?!

- Mister, I don't ...

- What?! What are these words ?! Mr?! For you, I am Master Li Fang! If now our lord was not waiting for these things, then I would ... No time, let's go

And he also grabbed my hand and led me somewhere. Before entering the master's room, he stopped me and instructed me what to do, apparently it was important for him. He said that I should go into the room and bring this tray. Then sit down on your knees and stare at the floor. He said this to me as a small child constantly pushing that I should know it anyway

The new room was almost as luxurious as the place I was in when I first looked in the mirror. In the middle of the room, on soft pillows, was a richly dressed young Chinese youth. He looked at me and was very surprised that I also looked at him. From this look, I felt uneasy. From history I knew that if it was an emperor, then the girls in whose body I found myself were forbidden to look into his eyes.

My heart was beating so that it seemed to me that it was about to jump out of my chest. I somehow reached the middle of the room and nearly dropped this tray. Then I sat down on my knees and looked at the floor. Although I knew little about the history of China, I knew that if this was all true, then I had to be as obedient as possible. I tried to simultaneously think about how to get out and about how not to make things worse.

... 

They began to talk about the fact that they had brought some herbs that the emperor had asked for, but although I was a historian, I did not understand the meaning of their conversation. I didn't even know who this emperor was. At this point, I hated myself for not studying the history of China.

- Now go away.

I began to get up and was already thinking how best to leave, with my back and looking down, or I could turn my back on the emperor, but at that time I heard the voice of the emperor

- And you Xiaoming, stay.

I looked surprised and frightened first at the emperor, and then at the old man who had brought me here. The emperor smiled, and the old man showed no emotion. He just looked away and walked out the door, leaving me alone with the emperor. I immediately remembered that the old man had said something about the concubine and I was scared. I had no intention of playing this role! I had to urgently find this mirror again, or just at least leave here and think about everything. It was all too fast

- Come to me.

I didn't even move. I hope that they are not speaking to me

- You dare not listen to your emperor ?! Come to me quickly!

I realized that it was better to do as he said and came closer

- What's wrong with you?! I can execute you for your behavior! That's better.

He hugged me tightly by the shoulder and hugged me

- Eh, Xiaoming, I already told you that, but I'm so tired. It’s so hard to be in charge and clever here among all these fools. Even you are acting strangely now, but it doesn't matter

He held me tightly by the shoulder and hugged me. I hoped that it wouldn’t get any worse and didn’t even want to think about what would happen now, but the thoughts themselves entered my head.

He kept talking and talking, and I looked first at him, then in the direction of the door, thinking about how to quickly get out of this unpleasant situation. My chest was pressed tightly by the clothes and I felt it all the time. I could smell a bad smell from his mouth and realized that he turned his head towards me. He took me by the chin and turned me towards him.

- Hey, what a sad face ?! You are with the emperor! You should be happy about this!

Of course, I immediately made a smile and felt a kiss. It was the most unpleasant kiss in my life. His hands began to touch my chest and other parts of my body. I wanted to break free, but I realized that it would only make things worse and I would have to fulfill this role. 

...

A few weeks later, I finally realized that I must accept this life as a Chinese concubine and servant in the palace of the emperor of ancient China. I must admit that this was not the worst option from that period of time, but still I hated myself for the fact that I was so skeptical about this damn mirror then and did what I did.

I perfectly understood why the real Xiaoming did it. This life here was very hard and here it was like a thing. But at least she was a girl all her life and lived in this time, and even she wanted to immediately run away as soon as she read in this mirror that you can change your life. And I knew almost nothing about this time, and even more so I did not know and did not want to be a girl here! Those were the hardest days of my life!

The first days I could not even sleep properly, especially after the first night with the emperor, which later repeated. He asked me to do things that I do not want to talk about and will never say. My rooms and bed were uncomfortable and cold. My body, my new body is very strange and unusual, I felt this chest all the time and could not do anything with these sensations, even when I fell asleep and was left alone. We get up early to do beautiful makeup for ourselves, especially with some old makeup it is very difficult, as well as hairstyles. I didn't know whether to be happy about it or not, but thanks to my status as a concubine, other girls helped me, although they were definitely unhappy with this.

I could no longer get into the lady's chambers, in which there was a mirror, and then she just left with all her things. The emperor did not say anything about this, and I was scared to ask, because I knew that for his wrong behavior he could simply make my life much worse.
