Chapter 1
Su Yingxue was dead.
Her biological father and stepsister destroyed her brotherhood and she became a wandering spirit.
She watched helplessly as her corpse was exposed to the wilderness and eaten by wild beasts. Her face was unrecognizable.
No one knew how many days and nights had passed. A man in a purple robe appeared. He glanced at the corpses on the ground. His arrogant tone carried a merciless ridicule.
“Su Yingxue, you are the daughter of the Marquis, yet you died so miserably?”
She floated in the air and watched as the man picked up her head and limbs one by one and pieced them together.
Then, he carefully put on a wedding dress and a phoenix crown on her.
His tone became much gentler, and there was a tinge of sourness. “It looks so much better this way.”
Looks so much better? Su Yingxue shook her head. She felt that it was unbelievable. A wave of doubt was about to burst out of her chest as she clamored to ask him why he was doing this!
“Su Yingxue, from now on, you are my princess.” The man’s deep and hoarse voice was mixed with years of deep affection.
Did he come here to marry her?
Su Yingxue’s heart trembled. How could that be… She had a terrible reputation and no one loved her. Why would anyone love her so deeply that they were willing to marry her corpse?
“I will bring you home.” The man picked up her corpse. It was clearly broken and smelly, but he was careful and treated it like a treasure.
Su Yingxue really wanted to shed a few tears for him. She tried her best to get closer, wanting to see the man’s face clearly, but her vision was too blurry. She could not even see his eyebrows clearly.
It hurt!
Su Yingxue’s muddled mind seemed to have been hit by someone, and it was so painful that tears flowed down her face.
No!
Wasn’t she already dead? Where did the tears come from?
“Master, stop hitting! Miss did not do it intentionally!”
Accompanied by a hoarse voice, a familiar figure rushed over.
Su Yingxue opened her eyes and saw the servant girl Zhilan, who had died many years ago, blocking in front of her.
She gave herself a tight slap.
Did they reunite in the netherworld?
“Miss, are you alright? If you didn’t push Miss Yurou into the water, you should quickly explain it to Master so that you can stop suffering!” Zhilan’s eyes were filled with worry. Even if she was hit a few times, she had to protect Su Yingxue.
Pushing Su Yurou into the water, getting beaten up, and Zhilan…
Su Yingxue’s eyes widened. She was reborn?
“Unfilial daughter, you still refuse to admit your mistake!” Su Dingheng roared and struck down with his rod again.
“I didn’t do anything wrong!”
Su Yingxue suddenly stood up and held the rod that was about to swing down. Her heart was surging!
She had really been reborn!
Five years ago, when Su Yurou fell into the water on purpose, everyone thought that she was the one who pushed her. Her father, Su Dingheng, gave her a good beating. Her skin peeled, and her injury was serious. Zhilan was also covered in injuries in order to protect her. Su Dingheng was biased and gave the thousand-year-old ginseng that the Emperor had rewarded to Su Yurou to nourish her body. When her grandfather returned to court and found out about this, he was so angry that he spat out a large mouthful of blood!
It was all because she was stupid! She had fallen for Su Yurou’s trick!
Su Yingxue gritted her teeth. In her previous life, she had been coaxed by Su Yurou until she was muddle-headed. She had only listened to her words and died miserably. She had even harmed everyone around her. She was filled with regret and unwillingness!
Su Yingxue’s eyes reddened for a while. When she raised her head to look at Su Dingheng, her gaze was as sharp as a knife. “I didn’t push Su Yurou. She pulled me on purpose and fell on her own!”
“Nonsense! Your sister is so gentle and kind. Why would she pull you? Su Yingxue, you’re really vicious. It’s fine if you bullied your sister in the past, but now that she’s running a high fever, you still want to slander her!” Su Dingheng was so agitated that he wanted to continue hitting Su Yingxue.
Su Yurou came out with disheveled hair and blocked Su Yingxue’s path. Her small face was pale. “Daddy, if you want to hit me, then hit me! Sister didn’t mean it. I didn’t stand firm.”
“Yurou, you’re still burning up, go back and lie down!”
Su Dingheng quickly threw away his rod and took a cloak to help Su Yurou put it on. Seeing her so pitiful, he felt as if his heart had been ravaged by someone.
Su Yingxue looked at the hypocritical Su Yurou, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She pulled her over and pushed her into the lake.
“Yurou!” Su Dingheng exclaimed.
He jumped into the water and saved her. Then, he turned around and rushed to Su Yingxue, raising his palm high up in the air. “You unfilial daughter, how could you be so vicious to harm your sister in front of me!”
Su Yingxue dodged and did not let him touch her. Instead, she said expressionlessly, “Didn’t she say that I pushed her? Since I’ve been wronged, why don’t I make it real?”
She had been practicing martial arts since she was young and had a strong personality. In the eyes of outsiders, she was always the strong and Su Yurou was the weak one. Every time Su Yurou was sick or something happened to her, it was all because of her doing.
When Su Dingheng saw Su Yurou frowning, he started to scold and hit her.
In the past, she felt inferior because her father suspected her background. In order to gain his trust and love, she fawned over Su Yurou and was framed and insulted many times. Now… she would make Su Yurou pay for all the things that she had slandered her for!
When Zhilan saw the heroic Su Yingxue who was no longer humble and begging, her heart was incomparably shocked. It was as if her miss had changed into another person!
