1 Prologue (1/2)

Si Yi Lei woke up due to a bright light. Searing pain shot through her whole body as she tried to get up.

She coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood, scaring the wits out of her.

She slowly and painfully tore open her eyes, only to find herself laying on the ground.

Ignoring the pain tearing throughout her body, she slowly forced herself to get up into a sitting position.

Had she died?

She looked around and was dumbfounded. Indeed, there was an old lady holding a bowl of soup staring straight at her. This obviously meant she was about to drink the soup of forgetfulness.

Si Yi Lei jumped up and tried to recall what had happened. The last thing she remembered was going to sleep after drinking a bowl of soup from her fiancee. . .

Thinking about it now, the bowl of soup sure tasted weird. Was it poisoned?

That wasn't impossible.

Si Yi Lei had long known that Long Mu Yuan was jealous of her talent. Although he was her fiancee, she still refused to share with him her ”secrets” to achieving her success.

But that wasn't her fault. She just went along with the flow, she didn't ask to be born so talented.

Did Long Mu Yuan actually kill her just because he was jealous?

Si Yi Lei thought about it carefully. She recalled several instances where Long Mu Yuan had said these exact words: ”If I can't have it, nobody can.”

Si Yi Lei heaved a sigh and rolled her eyes. How petty.

. . .

She was taking her own death surprisingly well.

It looked like Long Mu Yuan really did poison her out of jealousy. Thankfully, she died before she had been wed off to him, or else who knows how else she would have suffered?

If Long Mu Yuan heard what she was thinking, he surely would have vomited blood!

You died, and now you're saying it's a good thing? Please value your life, even if it's only a little bit, okay?

Si Yi Lei stretched leisurely. Where on her face was any trace of the pain she had felt earlier?

A trail of blood dribbled down her chin and Si Yi Lei wiped it off nonchalantly.

The old lady stared at her silently and speechlessly. Where was the attitude of a person who realized they had died? Was this girl sick?

Si Yi Lei brushed off dirt from her dress, and then plopped her butt back down onto the floor again.
