Chapter 1 V2 : Reborn on a Sedan Chair (1/2)

The sedan shook rhythmically and gently from side to side. The joyous cheers could be heard to welcome the sedan. The members accompanying the sedan to the bridegroom’s family were lively as ever and the bridesmaid’s sentences sounded like smooth-flowing water, auspicious to the ears. Sang Wan gently lifted the red veil on her head and her eyes gazed at the bright red surroundings. She reaffirmed that she was definitely sitting in a red sedan chair.

Gently raising both her hands, she observed that her hands were delicate and white in color; the nails were polished; fingers were long and slender; and her palms were small and delicate… This is definitely a pair of healthy and flexible hands. These were indeed hands that she once had.

She was born again.

The panic she received from the beginning gradually receded and she fully accepted the fact that she was born again.

Reborn, from the withered and desperate life she experienced, to the beginning? Sang Wan could not help but shiver from the thought of it as her nails subconsciously dug into the icy palms of her hands.

“No! I don’t want to!” The darkness and desperation where life is equal to death. Never did she want to experience it again.

Sang Wan clenched her hands tightly to hold back the impulse of lifting the sedan curtain.

She knew that outside the thin sedan curtain, there was a handsome man clothed in red clothes and a red silk flower as he rode a horse with his head held high. That man was her husband and the husband she had lived with for four years in her previous life. That man was the eldest son of the Shi family, Qingzhou’s wealthiest family.

Thinking about her husband, Sang Wan’s heart became even colder. A sense of indescribable sadness gradually spread from the bottom of her heart. That sense of sadness grabbed her attention tightly which made her gasp for air.

The sedan she was in now was not a sedan that was bringing her to a beautiful and sweet family, but to meet her future battles where she would have to fight to preserve her little foothold within the family.

Her father and mother died prematurely. Although the name of her family continued to deteriorate, her marriage to Qingzhou’s wealthiest person still proceeded. The feelings she had in the past when she got married to her husband was not only anticipation but tension and apprehension.

She was afraid. Really afraid. She was afraid that her mother-in-law and sister-in-laws would look down on her; afraid that the Shi family’s servants would despise her; afraid of the cruel world she had never seen before; afraid…

Not knowing the future which lies ahead of her, she was afraid of everything she would have to face.

The only person who could ease all her problems was her husband. If he had respected her and protected her, then maybe her life ahead in the family could have been a little better. For her, he was like her life-saving straw; her one and only support.

However, reality was cruel…

That man had a childhood sweetheart, his cousin. After living with her husband for less than two months, he made his cousin, Gu Fangzi, into his concubine! After that, whatever she feared started to turn into reality. Her Mother-in-law started to dislike her; her husband started to treat her coldly; her servants started to despise her; and rumors about her being an outcast within the family also started to spread.

She gradually became invisible in the family and was forgotten about. As days went by, her heart slowly withered and her will to live vanished.

It was even more painful than any torture in the world; enough to make a living man insane. She did not want to end up that way, but no one gave her a chance to not be.

No one!

Sang Wan’s mouth gently brought up a smile. Her previous self was insensible, distressed, and doubtless. Recalling those fragments of her past memories, she was shocked and surprised; “that woman, Gu Fangzi, openly displayed her friendliness to me, but behind my back, she prevented me from bonding with my husband and his family. Worst of all, she influenced them to turn against me…”

That sweet smile; that cordial laughter; that friendly attitude… how could it all be false? Why must it all be false?

“She was loving, lively and trustworthy with no room to doubt her, thus I fully accepted her. The result? My downfall, unhappiness, and lifeless life!”

“Bride, please get off the sedan ––––“

The bridesmaid shouted loudly with a festive smile on her face which interrupted Sang Wan’s thoughts. Outside, the drums became more high-pitched, and the crowd’s laughter and frolic became livelier.

This might seem like a good day; an auspicious day.

Once again! Once again, she had to step into the Shi family as a bride…

Sang Wan’s brain went into a dizzy trance. Her heart started beating nervously which felt as if it could jump out of her throat at any moment. Taking in a deep breath, she calmed her nervous heart. Gently stretching out her slender hand, she reached out for the bridesmaid’s hand and exited the sedan.

She did not have a choice!

Knowing full well the path ahead would only be full of difficulties, she could only continue moving forward.

Fortunately, everything was just the beginning… everything… there was room for change! Since God had given another chance to relive her life once again, she would not let this opportunity slide!

Reborn into this moment must have been God’s will; both a compensation and a challenge!

Countless voices could be heard; just like during her past life. Sang Wan felt vexed. Like a doll under the mercy of its maker, she had to obediently follow orders until she was in the bridal chamber. Sitting in the chamber was a beautifully laid out bed with a gold painted landscape on it.
