...****************...

Rural and lost for seventeen years, the illegitimate daughter of the Lu family has returned, and everyone looks down on her, waiting to see her make a fool of herself. However, as soon as Lu Sheng opens her eyes, she pins the rumored ruthless and shady Master Li onto the car with a kiss, boldly declaring, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility.’ When the gentle girl’s disguise falls, everyone realizes that the mysterious jewelry designer, the top disciple of the chief Chinese medicine practitioner, the behind-the-scenes shareholder of a leading group… turn out to be her! Leaders from various fields show up to recognize her, world-class piano master, domestic scientific research leader, genius young hacker, all stand up to say: ‘Sheng Bao, we are here to protect you!’ Her stepmother and malicious sister weep in regret, her scumbag fiancé bitterly regrets, and her five brothers hurry to make amends, vowing to spoil their sister to the heavens. Yet, Lu Sheng has long been encircled by a certain man, who whispers in a low bewitching voice: ‘Sheng Sheng… You enticed me, so now you have to take full responsibility.’

The secluded dilapidated alley had few visitors by day, and by night it was even more silent and deep, devoid of human presence.

The cold white moonlight spilled on the moss-covered stone road. A foraging stray cat sniffed with its head down, moving deeper into the alley.

After a few seconds, the cat seems to see something, its pupils abruptly dilate, its back arching in fright.

Before it lay the body of a young girl, still holding a remnant of warmth.

Her malnourished, frail figure, long hair scattered messily, her T-shirt filthy, and there were swollen red marks around her neck.

But the next second, something even more shocking happened—the fingertips of the corpse twitched, and the girl’s eyes suddenly opened.

“…I’m reborn?”

The girl slowly sat up from the ground, her pale thin lips slightly parted, her voice clear and cold as a bell.

Her dark hair fluttered in the wind under the moon, mysteriously yet with a hint of enchantment.

The name of this body is Lu Sheng, from now on it would be her new name.

Lu Sheng wanted to stand up, but the body’s original owner was too weak, staggering even while walking. With her current Soul Power, it would take at least a week to repair this damaged body.

Too long.

Just as Lu Sheng started to feel disappointed, her nose suddenly twitched, as if smelling something in the air, her eyes brightened as she looked up.

—

By the roadside, a pure black luxury Maybach.

Li Muchen was sitting in the car, waiting for his assistant to return with the Jade.

The Fu Family was hosting a charity auction dinner tomorrow evening, inviting celebrities from all of Jiang City. However, the auction was more of a call for guests to donate their private collections.

The Fu Family didn’t spend a dime but gained a good reputation, both face and profit, an excellent strategy indeed.

Li Muchen was never keen on such events, let alone the fact that his presence was not welcomed by others.

But there was a marriage connection between the Li and Fu families, and out of respect for Old Mr. Fu, he had to make an appearance and donate something.

—Thump thump.

As Li Muchen was looking down at his phone, suddenly, there came a knocking on the window.

He looked up, to unexpectedly see a girl standing outside the car, his expression momentarily stunned.

The girl looked very frail. Around 1.6 meters tall, her face no larger than the palm of a hand.

Her messy hair fell over her shoulders, both her face and clothes grubby, making it difficult to discern her original appearance.

—A beggar?

Li Muchen’s movement halted, he reached into his suit pocket, took out his wallet, and pulled out five hundred-yuan bills, opening the window halfway to hand it over.

However, the money was extended, but the girl did not take it. Just as Li Muchen’s brows slightly furrowed to look over, his hand was suddenly grasped by the girl.

Li Muchen’s pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed, “Let go!”

It wasn’t that he despised the girl’s dirtiness; he was a Heavenly Slaughter Star. If someone with a weak body touched him, they would feel heart palpitations at best or suffer a sudden heart attack at worst.

“I won’t let go.”

Li Muchen was startled, not expecting the girl to answer like this. What’s more, she was surprisingly strong; he couldn’t shake her off even with force.

“I don’t want money.”

The girl spoke while gripping his hand.

Only then did Li Muchen notice, although the girl’s face was covered in dirt, her features were pretty. Especially those clear eyes that shone like glazed glass.

“…Then what do you want?” Li Muchen paused, his voice deep.

“I want…” The girl suddenly leaned in close, exhaling a single word, “you.”

What?

Li Muchen’s expression froze, and he had no time to react when he suddenly realized his body couldn’t move.

The next second, the girl’s lips were pressed against his.

At the moment their lips touched, Li Muchen’s eyes widened. All he could see were the girl’s slightly quivering eyelashes, mingling with her breath.

For a full five minutes, the girl didn’t move away from his lips.

“Hasn’t anyone told you to close your eyes when kissing.”

“Ah, right, this isn’t really a kiss, anyway.”

The girl muttered to herself. Straightening up, she said seriously, “Anyway, after kissing you, I will take responsibility.”

Saying that, Lu Sheng bowed her head, rummaging in her pocket of her washed-out, tattered jeans.

After some effort, she found a pathetic $1 Coin, forcibly stuffing it into the man’s palm.

“This is a deposit, I’ll repay you the rest when we meet again.”

“By the way, my name is Lu Sheng. Lu as in land (陆), Sheng as in song (笙).”

Only when the girl’s figure had completely vanished from sight did the force restraining Li Muchen disappear.

The assistant who came back with the Jade saw his boss gasping in the backseat, his chest heaving violently.

“What’s wrong, boss? Are you alright?” Chen An immediately came over to ask.

“…I’m fine.” Li Muchen took a deep breath, his dark eyes swirling with indescribable emotions.

“Chen An, help me find someone. Even if you have to search the entire Jiang City, find her for me.”

—

This man she had bumped into possessed Evil Qi that was both intense and pure.

Evil Qi is something inherent in one’s destiny. Those born with heavy Evil Qi either suppress it with their own aura, becoming outstanding figures, or succumb early to its backlash.

No matter which it is, someone with heavy Evil Qi cannot be approached by ordinary people with weak destinies, otherwise, misfortune will surely befall them.

But for Lu Sheng, Evil Qi was exactly what could replenish her Soul Power the fastest at this moment.

Just five minutes of absorption made her feel incredibly light, Soul Power coursing through her limbs, each breath filled with energy.

She simply found a place to sit and browsed through the original owner’s memories. Just as she finished, her pocket cell phone rang.

Someone had made a call.

Lu Sheng took out her phone and glanced at it; the name of the caller was displayed on the old Nokia, the original owner had saved it as: [Big Brother]

Someone from the Lu Family…

Lu Sheng touched her chin thoughtfully.

An hour ago, the one who sent people to strangle her—to dispatch her to her death—was it her “mother,” whom she had never met, or was it her sister who was currently involved with her fiancé?

After letting the phone ring several times, Lu Sheng finally pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear. “Hello, who is this?”

“Didn’t save my number, huh,” the man on the other end sounded indifferent, “it’s Lu Jingyan.”

“Oh, it’s you, big brother,” Lu Sheng replied timidly, “sorry, I forgot to save your contact.”

“Alright,” the man clearly lacked patience, “the driver I sent to pick you up at the station said he couldn’t find you, and your phone was unreachable. Where did you run off to?”

“Sorry, big brother,” the young girl said softly, “my phone was dead earlier, and I thought no one came to pick me up, so I left the station on my own.”

“What?” Lu Jingyan furrowed his brows on the other end, “You grew up in the countryside, totally unfamiliar with Jiang City. Why are you wandering around alone? Where are you now?”

Lu Sheng looked up and saw a road sign across the street. As soon as she reported the road name, the person on the other end told her to wait there and hung up the phone.

Tsk.

Truly cold.

But it was normal for Lu Jingyan to be so cold. After all, in the eyes of the Lu Family, she had come to Jiang City to steal Lu Qianrou’s man and embarrass the family.

The Lu Family’s real rise to prominence started when Lu Chengye abandoned Du Ran, the original owner’s mother, and married Jiang Ting, the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family.

Over the decades, Old Mr. Jiang poured all the Jiang Family’s resources to support his only son-in-law, which led to the Lu Family’s current wealth and reputation.

Jiang Ting bore Lu Chengye five sons and later wanted a daughter. After searching all the orphanages in Jiang City, they adopted the most outstanding-looking five-year-old girl and named her Lu Qianrou.

Eighteen years ago, Lu Chengye once sought out Du Ran, who had left in despair for her rural hometown, and forcibly had relations with her that night.

Lu Chengye thought it was a secret that would be buried with Du Ran’s death from illness last month, but things didn’t go as he planned.

Before dying, Du Ran called Lu Chengye, saying that she conceived a daughter named Lu Sheng after that night.

She also mentioned that her mother had helped Old Mr. Fu from the Fu Family in Jiang City, and because of this, Old Mr. Fu arranged a marriage contract for Lu Sheng and his grandson, Fu Chen.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Chengye was dumbfounded on the spot.

He hadn’t taken precautions that night, so it was possible he left a child. But how could Du Ran, raised in the countryside, have helped someone as significant as Old Mr. Fu?

Moreover, if Old Mr. Fu arranged for Fu Chen to marry Lu Sheng—everyone in Jiang City knew Fu Chen was dating Qianrou—wouldn’t Old Mr. Fu be embarrassing the Jiang Family?

Yet, the fact was, Old Mr. Fu really did it.

Expensive engagement gifts were sent to the Lu Family as if flowing in, and Jiang Ting, thinking they were for Lu Qianrou, was overjoyed beyond measure, forcing Lu Chengye to reveal the truth.

Exposing that old scandal and learning her husband had cheated on his ex-wife enraged Jiang Ting, who was raised pridefully and pampered, prompting her to return to her parents’ home.

Later, unable to withstand Lu Chengye’s daily pleas and considering the reputation of her children and the Lu Family, she had no choice but to return.

However, the matter of Lu Sheng, the illegitimate daughter raised in the countryside, spread throughout Jiang City’s upper-class circles.

With Du Ran dead, someone had to take care of the underaged Lu Sheng. Moreover, since Lu Sheng’s existence was now widely known, and Old Mr. Fu kept pressing, Lu Chengye had no choice but to bring Lu Sheng to Jiang City.

The original owner did come, but not even an hour after stepping on this extremely valuable land, she was strangled and her body was dumped in an alley.

Besides Jiang Ting and Lu Qianrou, Lu Sheng couldn’t think of anyone who had such strong hatred and motivation to hurt someone she hadn’t even met.

At this moment, a shiny black Mercedes suddenly stopped in front of Lu Sheng, who was sitting by the roadside.

The car window rolled down slowly, and the man inside glanced at her with barely concealed disdain.

“…Big brother?” Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up with surprise as she stood up.

Lu Jingyan, the eldest son of Lu Chengye and Jiang Ting, and the current CEO of the Lu Group.

Dressed in an exquisite suit, handsome with an aloof demeanor. One had to admit, Lu Chengye might have been a bastard, but he had passed on good looks in his genes.

At this moment, sitting in the car, Lu Jingyan just felt a wave of nausea.

He expected someone raised in the countryside to be rustic at most.

But this young girl didn’t even show her appearance clearly, being so filthy. She sat boldly by the roadside, showing no manners at all.

Even though she shared half his blood, this Lu Sheng couldn’t even compare to their servants in terms of cleanliness and demeanor, let alone to Qianrou.

Lu Jingyan felt a throbbing at his temples and couldn’t help but rub the bridge of his nose.

– Just forget it.

At present, it was the crucial moment for a Lu Group Subsidiary to go public. Time was not right to offend Old Mr. Fu. Even if he despised the girl before him, he had to bear it for now.

“Are you alright, big brother? Are you feeling unwell?” Lu Sheng asked “concernedly.”

“No, just get in the car.” Lu Jingyan didn’t want to waste any words, intending to fulfill his duty as an elder brother by bringing Lu Sheng back to the Lu Family.

Silence prevailed.

Lu Jingyan clearly held no affection for this sister raised in the countryside and had no interest in understanding her.

He even seemed to feel she had an odor and opened the car window.

Lu Sheng observed everything, softly rubbing her fingers.

She needed the admiration and affection of humans to nurture her soul. Since her big brother currently loathed her, she’d start by winning him over.

The Lu Family resided in a detached villa in a wealthy neighborhood.

The gate opened slowly in anticipation as the car approached from afar. When they entered, servants stood in a line at the door to greet them.

As soon as he entered, Lu Jingyan immediately began introducing the household to Lu Sheng.

“Your second and third brothers are very busy and usually don’t live at home.”

“You Ming went abroad to participate in a math competition and isn’t home these days, either.”

“Mom, Dad, and You Ye went to watch Qianrou’s piano competition and won’t be back for another hour.”

Lu Jingyan glanced at Lu Sheng’s dirty clothes with a frown, “Take this time to shower. I’ll have the servant take you to the guest room bath, and you can wear Qianrou’s clothes for now.”

“Alright, I got it, big brother.”

The girl was more obedient than Lu Jingyan expected. She entered the Lu Family without looking around, appearing very compliant.

Seeing the servant lead Lu Sheng away, Lu Jingyan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He loosened his tie and sat on the living room sofa, browsing the stock market on his phone.

About twenty minutes later, he heard Lu Sheng calling for him. He habitually frowned and looked up, then froze in place.
