On the highway, a silver sports car was speeding.

Song Wei’s face was pale as she curled up in the backseat in a panic. She was wearing bright red pajamas, and there were shocking hickeys under her slightly messy collar.

She was like prey that had just escaped from a tiger’s den; her pupils were still trembling fiercely from shock.

The person driving was her first love, Yan Zhixing. Sitting beside her was her best friend, Lin Shuangshuang, who had grown up with her. They were the only two people left whom she could trust in this world.

Once they reached the airport, Yan Zhixing would take her overseas, and they would be rid of that devil Jiang Mingxu forever!

However, she still couldn’t forget about last night…

Jiang Mingxu tore her pajamas apart and tied her to the bed with a rope. No matter how much she cried and yelled, he continued to invade her indifferently. He was like a manic wolf that could no longer stop after smelling blood.

They had already been husband and wife—who had signed a nuptial agreement to mind their own business—for three years. Song Wei was alarmed and flabbergasted that he would suddenly cross the line so brutally.

Lin Shuangshuang had said that this was Jiang Mingxu’s attempt to get rid of Song Wei completely after swallowing up the Song family.

—Death from excessive SM play.

It was a very comical statement that could also pull the wool over people’s eyes. When the time came for them to investigate, they would only think that Song Wei had a unique fetish and even close the case in a hurry to cover up her family scandal.

Based on Song Wei’s understanding of Jiang Mingxu, he was a sinister, cunning, and ruthless person who was capable of doing such a thing.

She could only escape.

That was why Lin Shuangshuang brought the incapacitating drug today and helped her knock Jiang Mingxu out. That was how she managed to escape from the Jiang family villa successfully.

Everything would be fine as long as she could leave the country. She would escape this place and start anew with Yan Zhixing. She would take back everything that the Song family had lost from Jiang Mingxu!

However, she soon realized that the car was not heading towards the airport.

“Zhixing, aren’t you driving the wrong way? You can’t reach the airport on this road!”

However, a sneer of contempt came from the driver’s seat. “You can’t be so naive as to think that I would really give up everything to go abroad for you, are you?”

“What?” Song Wei widened her eyes in shock. She couldn’t believe that such cold and heartless words came from Yan Zhixing, a man who had always been ‘devoted’ to her.

Beside her, Lin Shuangshuang suddenly laughed, too. She lowered her eyes and looked at Song Wei as if she was looking at a pitiful worm. “Weiwei, have you always felt that Brother Zhixing loves you wholeheartedly?”

“…”

Lin Shuangshuang’s smile grew even more harsh and cold. She no longer wore the delicate appearance she displayed in front of Song Wei in the past. “Actually, you’re just a springboard for him to climb up in status. He only put on such an act of infatuation with you because you’re the honorable daughter of the Song Clan. From start to end, the only person he loves is me.”

“…”

“Do you know why he kept missing appointments with you at the critical moments when you two were dating back then? It’s because he abandoned you every single time to look for me.”

“You… When did you two get together…?!” Song Wei was so shocked and furious that her breathing quickened. She couldn’t even finish her sentence properly!

“In any case, it’s way earlier than you think. Even the reason why he got together with you back then was also because of me.” Lin Shuangshuang’s eyes shone with viciousness. “Do you want to know what other kinds of terrible things your beloved Yan Zhixing did to you?”

“…” Many scenes flashed through Song Wei’s mind, and she had an ominous feeling rise from within. “I don’t want to hear it!”

“He was the one who caused the Song family to go bankrupt and caused your father to suffer a heart attack. It was all thanks to you paving the road for him… that he was able to enter the core of the Song family successfully. Moreover, you were so foolish that you let him manage PARADISES—the world’s top jewelry brand that you personally built.”

“…”

“Song Wei, you’ve finally lost to me thoroughly.” Lin Shuangshuang seemed to have gained immense pleasure from Song Wei’s painful expression. Her eyes became brighter, and her voice became more venomous.

“What right do you have to suppress me in all aspects—just because you’re the Song family’s honorable daughter? Why does everyone think that you’re more talented than me in jewelry design? The queen of jewelry? You’re not worthy!”

When Song Wei heard this, she was so angry that she laughed. “If I really only suppressed you because of my background, then in the three years that I left the industry, you should have become the queen of jewelry a long time ago. At the very least, you should have some outstanding works. But… Do you?”

“I don’t have such an illustrious family background like yours to support me so those rich people naturally won’t buy my works!” Lin Shuangshuang was stung by Song Wei’s contempt, but she quickly composed herself. “You won’t be able to be so hard-headed for long. The honorable daughter of the Song family murdered her husband and became a convict. I wonder if this news will make it to the headlines?”

Song Wei reacted immediately. “There’s something wrong with the drug you let me slip into Jiang Mingxu’s coffee?!”

“That’s poison. Jiang Mingxu is probably already undergoing emergency treatment in the emergency room now, right?” Lin Shuangshuang’s smile became more vicious, and her eyes became brighter. She seemed to have gotten some great pleasure from seeing Song Wei in pain.

At this moment, Yan Zhixing stepped on the brakes cooperatively. The car stopped in front of the police station. The police had already received the report early on and were waiting for them. They surrounded the sports car in a second.

Yan Zhixing turned around and gave Song Wei a look so cold that she felt all the way into her bones. “Get out of the car. From now on, you are no longer the young lady of the Song family. You are a murderer, Song Wei.”

Song Wei looked at Yan Zhixing with despair in her eyes. The smile on the corner of her lips was filled with indescribable pain and self-mockery. “Yan Zhixing, have you ever loved me… Even for a moment?”

Yan Zhixing looked at her with bone-deep indifference. “No. The person I love has always been Shuangshuang. Everything I do is to clear the obstacles in her path.”

“I always thought that Jiang Mingxu was vicious. It turns out that you are the most ruthless person. It turns out that to you… I am just a hindrance in front of her… Just a springboard for you… Hahahaha…” Song Wei clenched her fists and laughed somewhat hysterically. Tears flowed down uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.

She had loved this man for 10 years, from her teenage days until she had become prosperous.

She had always felt indebted to him… so she paved the way for him and let him handle her hard work. Even though she knew that they would not have a future together, she was willing to do it.

She had always thought that he loved her, too.

In the end, it was all her wishful thinking.

Lin Shuangshuang looked at Song Wei and smiled. “By the way, Weiwei, I’ve arranged a few good cellmates for you as a gift. Perhaps you can experience what it feels like to be better off dead than alive in prison.”

Three days after Song Wei entered the prison, the news of her death made the headlines again.

It was said that she had kneeled naked in front of the toilet bowl. There was not a single piece of skin on her body that was intact. Her face was full of blisters from poisonous bugs—so no one could make out her appearance at all, and her fingers and toes were all broken. She died an extremely miserable death.

There were also rumors that she wrote a blood letter on the wall of the prison. She wanted to make the people who caused her death… pay this debt with blood!

Song Wei remembered that she died… And that she had died an excruciatingly painful death. The last moment that she closed her eyes, her hatred blazed like raging flames that could light up hell.

However, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a magnificent banquet hall. In her ears were soothing music and lively voices. The dance floor was filled with men and women dancing gracefully with the music.

She looked down at her body and realized that she was wearing the short wedding dress—in dark purple—that she had worn on her wedding day with Jiang Mingxu.

She had actually returned to the evening banquet on her wedding day three years ago!

A cold male voice pulled her thoughts back to reality. “Although it’s just a contract marriage, I still hope that you can at least put on an act instead of keeping a stiff face at your own wedding. Are you afraid that others won’t know that you’re unwilling?”

Song Wei turned around and met Jiang Mingxu’s cold eyes.

He was still that same person she was familiar with. He had handsome facial features but was also harsh and cold. When he wasn’t smiling, the aura all along his body exploded. In front of him, no one could remain calm and composed. They would all be firmly suppressed by him unconsciously.

It was rumored that his methods were despicable—forcing others into bankruptcy, using dirty methods to obtain projects, and even laying his hands on his own siblings to seize control of the Jiang family.

Lin Shuangshuang was basically the one who relayed these rumors to her. That was why Song Wei later believed that he was the one who destroyed the Song family, swallowed up the Song family, and even wanted to kill her.

However, now it seemed like those things might not have been Jiang Mingxu’s doing at all. Was it part of Lin Shuangshuang’s plan to sow discord between her and Jiang Mingxu?

Song Wei’s mind raced as she put on a bright smile and reached out to hold Jiang Mingxu’s arm. “Why would I be unwilling?”

Jiang Mingxu’s cold expression froze slightly, and there was a moment of shock in his eyes.

This woman rarely smiled like this in front of him.

She previously acted as if every time she stood beside him, it was torture.

Why did she seem like… a different person?

“I’m more than willing to cooperate in this act with Young Master Jiang to get such a huge investment for the Song family,” Song Wei continued.

However, Jiang Mingxu’s face darkened instantly. He swept a cold glance at her and pushed her hand away. “Get lost,” he threw out these words stiffly.

Song Wei seemed to be used to his capricious mood and sighed. “Young Master Jiang is indeed hard to please. I can’t not cooperate, but I can’t be too cooperative either.”

However, this was the Jiang Mingxu that she was familiar with.

He always treated her with a cold face as if she owed him a few hundred million dollars.

The Jiang Mingxu that night… was like a nightmare. She did not know what had triggered him, but she knew that that was not his normal state. Jiang Mingxu was still safe to be around at this stage.

Her moment of danger was a future event.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Mingxu left, Lin Shuangshuang ran towards her anxiously and worriedly—just like she remembered. “Weiwei, Brother Zhixing has been getting drunk ever since he heard about your marriage. He might really die if he keeps drinking. Please go take a look at him…”

Song Wei’s gaze landed on Lin Shuangshuang, but she suddenly realized that there was something like a data panel next to her. There were even words on it.

The first column ‘Attribute’ was written with three big words: ‘Green Tea B*tch’. Below it was a row of captions, ‘Prone to Jealousy, Liar, Vain, No Morals’.

Didn’t these words accurately generalize Lin Shuangshuang’s nature?

In her previous life, she had truly been blinded by their many years of friendship. She had thought that friends who grew up together and understood each other very well must be the most trustworthy people.

That was why she ended up in such a miserable state in the end.

In this life, she wanted Lin Shuangshuang to suffer the consequences of her actions!

Moreover, in this life, the heavens had actually given her a pair of eyes that could see people’s true nature! It seemed like even the heavens wanted to help her take revenge!

Song Wei smiled excitedly and pretended to be worried. “Where is he now?”

Lin Shuangshuang paused before saying hesitantly, “He asked me to book a room for him in this hotel. He said that, although he didn’t receive an invitation and couldn’t attend the ceremony, he would still stay by your side and send you off to get married.”

In her previous life, when Song Wei heard these words, she was so touched that she almost cried. Now, she only felt nauseous. It was a waste of talent for these two people not to become actors and aim for the Oscars.

However, since they were so good at acting, she would oblige with their acting to the end. “But, everyone from the Jiang family is watching me now so I really can’t leave. Why don’t we do this, Shuangshuang? You can help me take a look at Zhixing’s situation and take good care of him. I’ll rush over when I find the opportunity…”

Lin Shuangshuang paused before nodding. “All right, the room number is 1601. Let me know when you arrive.”

Song Wei nodded. “Go quickly. I’m worried that he will do something stupid for me.”

Lin Shuangshuang seemed to hesitate still, but after a moment of hesitation, she still reminded Song Wei, “You must come, okay…?” Then, she walked away but kept turning back to look at her.

In her previous life, Lin Shuangshuang used this excuse to trick Song Wei into secretly changing out of her wedding dress during the evening banquet, and she entered 1601 while wearing casual clothing.

In the hotel room, she saw the drunk Yan Zhixing, and her heart ached terribly. She wanted to send him to the hospital, but Yan Zhixing pretended to be drunk and cuddled with her.

Right at this time, the people from the Jiang and Song families arrived at the scene, ‘chancing upon’ the ‘adultery’ between Song Wei and Yan Zhixing.

In addition, reporters took photos and spread the news.

From then on, Song Wei was labeled as a married woman with loose morals; she went to a hotel to have a secret rendezvous with her ex-boyfriend at her own wedding banquet. Song Wei’s reputation was in tatters overnight.

Everyone initially thought that Jiang Mingxu would cancel the engagement.

However, to their surprise, Jiang Mingxu did not seem to care.

After all, he married her for the benefits of their families’ union. He didn’t love her anyway so he would not take anything that she did—like overstepping her boundaries—to heart.

Now, she was going to give them a taste of their own medicine.

Her pupils swiveled, and her gaze landed by the side, on Jiang Mingyan—Song Wei’s little cousin—who was laughing with her friends.

Jiang Mingyan’s characteristic panel popped up very quickly. Attribute: ‘Straightforward Girl’. Additional note: Upright, passionate, and gossipy.

This was a fairly perfect megaphone.

Song Wei walked towards Jiang Mingyan, lowered her head, and whispered into her ear, “Mingyan, I need your help with something…”

Jiang Mingyan looked at Song Wei in confusion. “How can I help? My older brother always said that I am a good-for-nothing…”

That was indeed something her real older brother would say…

Song Wei coughed lightly and said, “It’s just a small matter. I have a friend who isn’t feeling well and went upstairs to rest. I wanted to get someone to send some medicine over, but she didn’t reply to my calls or messages. I’m afraid that she has already fainted, but because there are people in the room, the attendants don’t dare to open the door. You’re from the Song family so you should be able to get the room card to open the door, right?”

Jiang Mingyan nodded innocently. “This is a small matter. Tell me your friend’s name, and I will help you take a look.”

“Lin Shuangshuang, Room 1601.”

“Okay.”

“Bring two more people with you. If she’s really seriously ill, can I trouble you to help me send her to the hospital?”

Jiang Mingyan patted her chest enthusiastically, “Leave it to me.”

Song Wei only smiled meaningfully when she watched Jiang Mingyan get into the elevator. She took a sip of the red wine in her glass.

She still remembered how she went to look for Yan Zhixing in her previous life.

Back then, she knocked for quite a while before Lin Shuangshuang finally opened the door.

Behind the door, Lin Shuangshuang’s clothes were in a mess. There were even some faint hickeys on her neck that were covered by her hair. Her expression was evasive as she urged Song Wei to see Yan Zhixing.

In her previous life, Song Wei loved Yan Zhixing too much. As she was worried that something would happen to him, she did not notice these details at all and rushed in…

Now that she thought about it, she finally realized how foolish she had been. Before she had arrived, who knew how intimate Lin Shuangshuang and Yan Zhixing had been in the room?

Heh.

They had really thrown her heart under their feet and trampled on it. They didn’t even try to restrain themselves at such a time; they were so arrogant that it made people want to puke!

However, this time, Song Wei could admire their show properly.

Thinking about this, Song Wei put down the red wine and prepared to change into something more convenient in the changing room.

It would be too eye-catching if she went to watch a show in this outfit. She couldn’t possibly steal the limelight of two good actors.

However, when she pushed open the door of the changing room, she found Jiang Mingxu sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and a cigarette between his fingers. His cold eyes were hidden under the smoke.

Song Wei was stunned. This did not happen in her previous life.

Besides, she just realized that Jiang Mingxu was the only person who didn’t have an attribute panel among all the people she saw after her rebirth!

Was this a bug? There was actually no data on such a dangerous person!

Song Wei suppressed that trace of panic and asked calmly, “Young Master Jiang, why are you here?”

Jiang Mingxu put out his cigarette, stood up from the sofa, and walked towards Song Wei.

He was so tall that he completely blocked the light in front of Song Wei. That pressure exuded from his body was overwhelming and made people feel suffocated in front of him.

Instead of answering, he asked, “Are you going to look for him?”

Song Wei subconsciously took a step back, but there was a door behind her. She had no way to retreat and could only smile awkwardly. “Young Master Jiang, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I’m not looking for anyone. I simply ate too much just now, and my skirt is a little tight. I want to change into something more comfortable.”

Song Wei patted her slightly bulging stomach—which was indeed round.

Before she died in her previous life, she had been tortured by her cellmates for three days and never had a good meal. Since she got to live again, shouldn’t she eat her fill?

Jiang Mingxu frowned slightly, seemingly trying to figure out how trustworthy her words were.

Song Wei couldn’t figure out what this man was thinking either and could only search for the attribute panel on him frantically.

However, no matter how much she blinked her eyes, the dashboard did not appear.

Jiang Mingxu obviously noticed her twitching expression too and raised his eyebrows. “What are you looking at?”

“I’m looking at you.” Song Wei reacted quickly; her face did not turn red, and her heart was not beating fast.

Jiang Mingxu paused slightly for a moment. This answer was obviously out of his expectations. He took a step forward and stood directly in front of Song Wei. He leaned over to look at her. “Don’t you hate me? Why are you looking at me?”

“I just… think that you look good.” Song Wei leaned her back against the door and swallowed nervously.

“…” Jiang Mingxu was clearly stunned for a moment. The previously fierce expression on him exuded a bit of unnaturalness, but he quickly composed himself and said coldly again, “Don’t play any tricks.”

“How would I dare to do so in front of Young Master Jiang?” Song Wei tried her best to smile innocently.

Jiang Mingxu could not be blamed for being so guarded either.

In her previous life, when Song Wei was arranged for marriage by Father Song, she had used all kinds of tricks to rebel. Every time she saw Jiang Mingxu, she looked as if she had met her nemesis—there was absolutely no way for them to live under the same sky.

In the end, it was Father Song who agreed that, as long as she was willing to cooperate with the marriage of convenience, he would give Yan Zhixing a chance to enter the management level of the Song family. In addition, Jiang Mingxu even got her to sign a prenuptial agreement, and they agreed that they would not become a real husband and wife. That was when Song Wei reluctantly accepted it.

In the countless meetings they had before they got married, Song Wei had always been carrying a threatening attitude to reject him. It was indeed suspicious for her to suddenly be so submissive.

Therefore, Jiang Mingxu obviously did not believe her completely. He only paused for a moment before saying, “Change.”

Song Wei was stunned, but she still acted tactfully and slipped away from between Jiang Mingxu and the door to go to the wardrobe to retrieve her clothes.

Originally, her stylist was supposed to be waiting in the changing room, but Jiang Mingxu had probably chased her away.

She could only do it herself. From within numerous spare clothing, she took out a set of clothes that was not too tight and relatively convenient for her to change into quickly.

However, when she turned around, she discovered Jiang Mingxu leaning against the door with his arms crossed and looking at her with interest.

“Young Master Jiang, aren’t you going to step outside?”

However, Jiang Mingxu stated calmly, “Change.”

Jiang Mingxu probably couldn’t let his guard down because she had played too many tricks previously.

Indeed, in her previous life, she had hoodwinked him and went to look for Yan Zhixing. In the end, she caused the Song and Jiang families to lose all face in such a spectacle.

His wariness made sense.

However, after her rebirth, how could Song Wei be defeated by such a small matter?

“Young Master Jiang, if you want to see it, you can just say it. After all, we are husband and wife now.” Song Wei turned around and unzipped her wedding dress. She untied the silver silk bow and revealed her fair and delicate back.

The pair of butterfly bones on her shoulders was exquisite and especially beautiful. Two arcs slid down her bones all the way to her waist. Vaguely powerful muscles moved along with her skin and flowed smoothly.

She was only wearing a bra underneath, and there was only a translucent underskirt on her bottom half. Her skin—that peeked out from under that muslin—was especially alluring.

Just as she was pulling off her wedding gown, she heard a door open behind her.

A voice outside the door asked, “Young Master Jiang, is Madam all right? Do you need us to go in and take a look?”

Then, she heard Jiang Mingxu’s cold and irritable voice. “Get lost. No one is allowed in.”

Following that, there was a brief and hurried ‘bang’, and the door was closed. Jiang Mingxu had already left.

The corner of Song Wei’s lips curved. Indeed, shameless people were invincible.

However, did this mean that Jiang Mingxu did not want to look at her… Or was he shy?

This man also had times when he hid so quickly.

After Song Wei changed her clothes and went out, she received Lin Shuangshuang’s call. She was already incoherent on the phone. “Weiwei, something happened. Come up quickly!”

Song Wei pretended not to know anything and asked anxiously for the sake of appearances, “What’s wrong? Is Zhixing all right?”

“He—he’s fine…” Lin Shuangshuang was so anxious that there was a sobbing tone. “Jiang Mingyan brought some people and suddenly barged in. I… I don’t know what they are trying to do so I hid in the room. Quickly, come up and save me…”

Song Wei quickly ‘comforted’ her and said, “Okay, don’t be anxious. I’ll be right up.”

After hanging up the phone, a sharp light flashed across Song Wei’s eyes.

I’ll come up right now and help them hammer you two sc*mbags to death!
