With Love, To You

"Open your mouth, scream!" In the dimly lit room, Qi-Nian Yun was pinned to the bed, staring blankly at the scene before her. Warm yellow light fell from above, illuminating the handsome face of the man before her. That familiar face, which had once filled her with fear and hatred, now made her feel a bit excited. "Gu, Jing-Shen Gu?!" "Do you hate me?" Jing-Shen Gu sneered coldly, his large hand caressing her neck while his movements did not stop. "Did you hate me for ruining your elopement plan with your lover and taking your body?" Qi-Nian Yun shook her head abruptly. The scene from before her death flashed in her mind again—how the man had pushed her out of the explosion at the last moment, piercing her heart like a knife. How she had hated her previous desire to escape... "Jing-Shen Gu..." Before she could finish her sentence, her neck was bitten hard. The man's voice was filled with a sinister determination. "If you hate me, then never leave me. Stay and you'll have a chance to take revenge!" Qi-Nian Yun shook her head desperately, tears rolling down her cheeks. Jing-Shen Gu, however, mistook her tears for reluctance to stay, his eyes darkening as he unleashed an even fiercer assault... It finally ended after an unknown amount of time. In the end, Qi-Nian Yun passed out. When she woke up, it was already morning. Warm sunlight streamed in through the window, filling the room with warmth. She sat up in bed, looking around at the familiar surroundings, realizing that last night was not a dream. It seemed she had returned to a few years ago, just after she had married Jing-Shen Gu. At that time, the Yun family was still prosperous, her grandfather was still alive, and her uncles were in their prime. Jing-Shen Gu was still the high and mighty CEO of the Gu Corporation, and she had not yet been driven mad by torment, ending her life in flames. Everything seemed to have returned to the beginning. So... had she been reborn? A surge of joy filled Qi-Nian Yun's heart, just as the bedroom door was pushed open. The tall figure of a man came into view, and her pupils shrank. In the next second, she leaped towards him in surprise. "Jing-Shen Gu, you're really not dead?!" Jing-Shen Gu looked down at her, a trace of cold mockery in his dark eyes. "What, do you hate me so much that you wish I were dead?" Qi-Nian Yun: "No..." "Too bad, even if I die, you are still Mrs. Gu, and you will never escape this identity!" As he spoke, he coldly pried her wrist off and strode out of the room. "The Ye family is here. Get ready and come down." The bedroom door slammed shut, and Qi-Nian Yun's heart tightened as she remembered today was her grandfather's birthday. By rights, she should go to the celebration with Jing-Shen Gu. But in her previous life, she had believed her stepsister Yun Qian-Yu's words and eloped with her first love Su Ze on the eve of her grandfather's birthday banquet. In the end, she was not only caught by Jing-Shen Gu but also made him furious. Their wedding night had been ruined by her resistance, but in his rage, he had forced himself on her last night. In her previous life, she didn't understand Jing-Shen Gu's feelings. After being forced, she cried and made a scene the next day. She even accused Jing-Shen Gu of being a rapist in front of everyone at her grandfather's birthday banquet! Jing-Shen Gu, unwilling to argue with her in public, had left. At that time, she had been smug, thinking she had finally angered him. Little did she know it was all Yun Qian-Yu's scheme. Then came the event that ruined her reputation. Thinking about it still made Qi-Nian Yun tremble. Because of that event, she became infamous, despised by everyone, and even her grandfather and uncles were deeply disappointed in her. Instead, Yun Qian-Yu, with her performance at the banquet, not only became a recognized goddess but also gained the trust of her grandfather and uncles. From then on, she began to step by step, devour Qi-Nian Yun's reputation, status, wealth, and even her entire life! Thinking of this, Qi-Nian Yun's eyes grew cold. In her previous life, she was too naive, falling into Yun Qian-Yu's trap. Since heaven had given her a second chance, she would not make the same mistake again! Everything that was owed to her, she would take back. As for the regrets, she would make up for them one by one. --- Qi-Nian Yun went downstairs half an hour later. When she descended, Jing-Shen Gu was already in the car. Today, he was wearing a dark suit, his pale skin and black hair making him look almost otherworldly. She couldn't help but swallow. How had she never noticed how good-looking this man was? Just his looks and figure alone could outshine the most popular stars in the entertainment industry, not to mention his power and wealth, which ordinary people couldn't achieve in several lifetimes. Had her brain been eaten by pigs before? To leave such a good husband for a scumbag! Qi-Nian Yun got into the car, and called sweetly, "Hubby~" Jing-Shen Gu didn't react, but the driver Yu Chuan was so startled he almost lost control of the steering wheel. Receiving the cold gaze from behind, he quickly lowered his head, "Sorry, sir." Qi-Nian Yun bit her lip and hugged his arm. "Hubby, I was wrong before. I won't ask for a divorce again." Jing-Shen Gu finally looked at her, his eyes falling on her fair and delicate face, his words as cold as ever. "Can't handle the hard way, so now you're trying to be soft? What trick are you playing this time, Mrs. Gu?" Qi-Nian Yun: "..." It was all her fault in her previous life, making this man not trust her anymore. Fortunately, she had been reborn, and there was plenty of time to prove herself in the future, so she didn't explain further. "Just wait and see, I'll prove myself to you." Jing-Shen Gu sneered but said no more. Soon, the car arrived at the hotel. Most of the guests had already arrived, and the luxurious banquet hall was bustling with activity. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Grandfather Ye surrounded by people. Qi-Nian Yun's eyes reddened, and she called out "Grandpa" as she ran over. Grandfather Ye was smiling and chatting with everyone. Hearing her voice, he turned and saw Qi-Nian Yun running towards him, and was overjoyed. "Nian-Nian? Why didn't you tell Grandpa you were coming? I could have sent your uncles to pick you up." Qi-Nian Yun hugged him, acting coquettishly. "I missed you, Grandpa, and couldn't wait." Grandfather Ye, having lived so many years, had never seen her like this, and his heart melted. Qi-Nian Yun, however, felt deep remorse. In her previous life, she had been influenced by Yun Qian-Yu to believe that Grandfather favored her cousins over her, often throwing tantrums at him. It wasn't until her death that she realized Grandfather was the one who loved her the most in this world, but by then, he had been killed by Yun Qian-Yu. She hadn't even seen him one last time, which was the greatest unfilial act. Just then, a gentle voice came from behind. "Sister, you're here." Qi-Nian Yun froze, slowly raised her head, and saw Yun Qian-Yu standing there in a dress, looking fragile and delicate.
