Chapter 1: Her Arch-Rival Died For Her

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Wen Ruan died at the young age of 22.

She was disfigured, legs crippled and had been locked up in the basement for a year.

During that period, she was mistreated and tortured every single day. Before she died, she had become extremely emaciated and totally unrecognizable.

Wen Ruan was finally discarded into the deserted mountains until someone found her after a painstaking search.

A man wearing a black coat strode steadily out of the eerie-looking dense forest.

His face was hidden in the shadows of the night. Wen Ruan couldn’t see his face but his presence was exalted and fearsome.

He bent over and knelt on one long and slender leg.

He knelt in front of the corpse that was already beginning to smell and caressed the now unrecognizable face with his slender hand.

Wen Ruan’s spirit shifted close to the man and slowly moved her gaze upwards from his Adam’s apple.

It was a flawlessly handsome face. His features were distinctly etched, as if carved out of marble by an artist.

Wen Ruan stared at the man in disbelief.

Huo Hannian?

Her arch-rival since her high school’s senior year!

Wen Ruan had never expected that he would be the one to come and collect her body.

Her ignorance at that time had caused him indelible damage. She always believed that he hated her bitterly, as he should.

The man’s dark and obscure eyes stared at her face that was beginning to bloat up. It had been rotting for a long time. Suddenly, he stretched out his arms and picked up the body.

He brought her to a beautiful island. This was Wen Ruan’s favourite vacation location, Yunmeng Isle.

She had heard in the recent past that it was bought over privately and was not open to the public any more.

The atmosphere here was no longer boisterous. But her favourite lilies and sunflowers were growing in the well-maintained garden of an opulent manor.

The gruesome corpse, which even she didn’t dare to look at, was carried by the tall and strapping man straight into the manor.

Wen Ruan followed him into the place after a moment of hesitation.

A news bulletin was playing on the huge LCD screen in the living room.
