22 Reincarnation, But At What Cost? (1/2)

Yang Guifei gasped awake, vision hazy and her head pounding like crazy. Immediately, a sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen. Confusion laced her mind, her body was slowly acknowledging the pain and god was it awful.

”Huh...Huh??”

Yang Guifei was utterly bewildered. A moment ago she was shot, and was 100% sure with herself that she had died. But it seems like that wasn't the case anymore.

Her eyes shifted down at her lower abdomen, though she was unable to see clearly, she was able to tell that it was bleeding. Bad. Wait hold on. She was shot in the chest, why was she bleeding out her abdomen. Who thought this was a good idea?! Shot in the chest or bleeding from the abdomen, what different does it make?? I'm still suffering either way!!

”Sh*t! What did I do to deserve this?! Wait where am I?”

She examined her surroundings, but couldn't make out any solid figures in detail. The sky was pitch black and the stars had been staring at her. She couldn't help but be anxious and sweat.

”It's night...fantastic.”

Struggling, Yang Guifei pushed herself up. It was only then did she realise how weak her body was, she wasn't even able to stand up straight! She cursed as she stumbled and almost lost her balance until she latched onto a nearby tree for support.

Her sweating began to increase as a growing pain started to form in her head. Something was coming back to her. Groaning, She gripped her hair and bent down as the pain became more agonising by the second. Without a seconds notice, a flood of unknown memories crammed itself into Yang Guifei. Her body leaned against the tree. Her breathing was harsh and she couldn't help but pause for a minute or two to take everything in.

”What the hell..”

With furrowed brows and her mouth agape, she stared at her palms in pure astonishment and frustration.

”What the hell !!”

She repeated once again but with more anger. Yang Guifei clenched her fists tightly, nails digging into her skin.

”This...this body isn't mine! This life isn't even mine! What the hell ?!”

Her composure crumbled and her patience ran thin.

She knew now. She knew everything. Everything that happened to her, her situation before and now. It kinda made sense.

”I transmigrated.”

She spoke out loud, mainly to herself. Though nobody was around her to hear anyways. Alas, Yang Guifei didn't know if she wanted to laugh or cry. Escaped a bad situation but now stuck in an even worse one.

She looked through her new found memories, looked back when she was first born to when she was 7 to now where she's 14. And to basically summarise her entire life. It was sh*t.

Mother died, grew up with a naive and clueless father, step mother and half sister were complete a**holes to her, abused and treated worse than a slave, they attempted to murder her which leads her to her death and where Yang Guifei steps in.

Although those memories didn't belong to Yang Guifei, they belonged to the body she was in and therefore experienced everything the previous owner went through. In a way, Yang Guifei could understand how distraught and miserable this girl would have been, and she pitied her.

Yang Guifei released a large sigh as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

”Why do I somehow feel like the main protagonist of some novel...”
