Rebirth
Jiangcheng—
In a dark underground basement, I curled up in a corner, my hands tightly shackled by heavy iron chains. The blood around my wrists had long soaked into the ends of the chains, and the cold metal rubbing against my skin caused pain so intense that I almost forgot how to breathe.
Screech—
The iron door was pushed open from the outside, and the rusty door panel echoed with a long, lingering sound. The air became still, and the pressure almost suffocated me.
I slowly lifted my head, and when I saw who it was, the hatred in my eyes nearly drowned me.
They—Lin Wanjing, my best friend, and Fu Shicheng, my former lover.
Two years ago, on that night, everything began with a carefully orchestrated scheme. I was drugged, and I had a one-night entanglement with Pei Moqian. The truth came out afterward, and ultimately, I was forced to marry him.
I thought that Pei Moqian was only doing this for the sake of a family alliance, despicable and shameless, which made me hate him to the bone. To take revenge, I fell for Fu Shicheng and Lin Wanjing's deceit, plotting against Pei Moqian at every turn, even stealing company secrets and leaking them to Fu Shicheng.
I naively thought that once I had taken my revenge on Pei Moqian and divorced him, I could be with Fu Shicheng again and live a happy life.
However, reality slapped me hard in the face.
When I finally realized that Fu Shicheng and Lin Wanjing were secretly colluding, controlling everything behind the scenes, it was already too late.
Pei Moqian's company fell into crisis, and I was once again framed by this vile couple, ultimately ruining my reputation, losing my friends and family, and destroying my appearance. Now, I am locked here, like a dead dog, at their mercy.
I hate them!
I hate them! And I hate my blind self from back then.
Seeing the violent hatred in my eyes, Lin Wanjing froze for a moment but soon became filled with shame and anger.
What is she afraid of?
I'm already restrained, unable to move, the chains have locked away my freedom, what can I do?
Thinking this, Lin Wanjing took a step forward, a cold smirk playing on her lips.
Slap! A thunderous slap echoed as it struck my face.
She forcefully grabbed my hair and sneered viciously, “What are you?! How dare you look at me like that!”
My face swelled painfully, and the red fury in my eyes seemed about to overflow. Lin Wanjing looked at my reaction, and suddenly, she let out a triumphant laugh. "Oh, I almost forgot, I came here today with good news."
I glared at her coldly, my gaze filled with chilling malice.
Then, her demonic voice dropped low and sinister: "Pei Moqian is dead. Just now, he died on the way to save you…"
"Ah!"
As soon as her words fell, Lin Wanjing screamed.
I almost instantly reacted, sinking my teeth into her ear. The taste of blood spread in my mouth, making her gag with disgust, but the more I saw the pain on her face, the harder I bit!
She slapped me, cursed me, but no matter what, I wouldn’t let go. The pain made her shout desperately: “Shicheng! Help! Help!”
Fu Shicheng rushed over and kicked me away, then pulled Lin Wanjing into his arms, whispering, “Qingqing, are you okay?”
Seeing this scene, I felt as if my anger was about to consume me. My eyes were red, and I screamed, “Lin Wanjing! Fu Shicheng! I will kill you both! I will kill you!!!”
A sour emotion surged within me. I gasped for breath, my chest hurting as if it were being torn apart by the cold air.
Pei Moqian…
The Pei Moqian who had given everything for me, and before I could even say sorry to him, how could he… just die?
This vile couple! How dare they harm him!!!
Lin Wanjing covered her ear, blood seeping out, and sneered, “Just you? Do you think you still have a chance?”
My eyes were filled with hatred. “Even if I die, I won’t let you go!”
Lin Wanjing was provoked by my words and suddenly pushed Fu Shicheng away, stepping in front of me.
“If that’s the case, then go to hell! Never be reborn!”
In her hand, there was already a pitch-black gun, and the barrel was aimed directly at me.
I closed my eyes in despair.
“Pei Moqian…”
“I’m sorry.”
What I owe him, I will repay in the next life…
Bang!
——
“Pei Moqian!”
I screamed in terror and suddenly woke up from the dream.
The surroundings were empty, and cold sweat soaked my back. I sat on the bed, trembling all over, and my consciousness slowly returned.
Where... am I?
I looked around and saw a familiar bedroom, and a loud bang sounded in my mind.
What happened?
Didn't I die?
My gaze locked on the calendar on the desk, and as soon as I saw the year, I could hardly believe it. I crazily grabbed my phone and confirmed the date, trembling uncontrollably as my heart raced.
I actually...
Reincarnated, back to two years ago.
Before I died, Lin Wanjing’s words echoed in my ears.
I gave a slight smile, a strange and beautiful expression.
“To hell, never be reborn?”
It seems that, unfortunately, their hellish friends are more than their heavenly ones, so...
Even though they calculated everything, they never expected that I would return!
“Lin Wanjing, Fu Shicheng.” A cold, ruthless light gradually gathered in my eyes. “Everything you once took from me, I will take it all back, bit by bit!”
