Yes, An Mingyu no longer belonged to this world.

But she had not discovered this answer herself. It was... Zhen Xin who had told her.

She did not know when Zhen Xin had discovered her identity. Perhaps it had been from the very beginning, or perhaps in the middle of their conversation. In any case, it must have been after she revealed the cause and effect of that time trial that the other woman recognized she was not this world's An Mingyu, and used a cup of dried-tangerine-peel water to tactfully hint at the answer... to her.

As for why she said this, it was because Zhen Xin had never tested An Mingyu. Only An Mingyu tested Zhen Xin, because she needed to determine whether the other woman was actually Zhen Yi.

But today, this inexplicable, sudden test had left An Mingyu frozen on the spot!

Think about it. Under what circumstances would Zhen Xin test a close friend who had entered a museum with a playing card and then come to ask her for help?

Before this time trial, An Mingyu could not think of a single answer.

Yet, as it happened, the previous trial had been one concerning identities. That left her no choice but to direct her suspicions in that direction!

Zhen Xin had definitely noticed that she was different from the original An Mingyu, and that was why she had given her that indirect reminder.

At that moment, An Mingyu had felt as though thunder had exploded in her mind. She had nearly broken down, but she still steadied herself, did everything she could to control her expression, and continued acting out the unspoken scene that neither of them wished to expose.

She knew that the other woman was Zhen Xin. It was absolutely Zhen Xin.
