Chapter 1: Reborn in His Arms

Pain tore through Shi Jin’s body and soul.

In the chaos, she suddenly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the magnified, handsome face of a man.

His features were outlined by light and shadow, flickering between coldness, brutality, and decisiveness.

It was Fu Xiuyuan!

How could it be Fu Xiuyuan?

Hadn't he died while saving her?

It was only when he died that Shi Jin realized how miserably she had been harmed by her fiancé and that bitch, and finally awakened to the fact that the only person who truly loved her was Fu Xiuyuan, the man she had always avoided.

Her hands instinctively climbed up his arms; the realistic sensation pricked at her heart, jolting her awake.

Scenes she had seen before flooded into her mind, sharp and clear.

This wasn't a dream?

He was still alive!

And she was still alive!

So, had she been reborn?

Reborn on the night he first touched her?

The very same night she had completely broken ties with him!

Tears fell uncontrollably, and Shi Jin hugged Fu Xiuyuan tightly.

Heaven had granted her a second life; she would never be foolish again!

Her warm, cool tears fell onto Fu Xiuyuan’s skin, adding a touch of fury to the dark, churning depths of his eyes.

"Is being with me really so unbearable that you'd rather die?"

His cold, sharp words, mixed with gusts of chilly wind, reached Shi Jin’s eardrums.

"No, it's not..." Shi Jin was crying so hard she couldn't speak.

To her, these words were the joy of surviving a catastrophe, but to Fu Xiuyuan’s ears, they were an unmistakable rejection!

Once again!

Countless rejections!

He pressed his tongue hard against his cheek, gritted his teeth, and stood up. Without sparing Shi Jin another glance, he turned and left. His cold, noble back was now shrouded in a deep sense of loneliness.

"Fu Xiuyuan!" Shi Jin reached out toward him.

However, the man, disappointed to the extreme, strode away without looking back.

A smile curved on Shi Jin’s tear-stained face. It didn't matter; she had already returned.

She had plenty of time to make Fu Xiuyuan understand her heart!

"Shi Jin! Are you okay? How could Fu Xiuyuan treat you like this!" The door was pushed open, and Deng Yufei walked in quickly, looking at Shi Jin with feigned anxiety.

When she saw the messy sheets and the hickeys on Shi Jin’s neck, however, an unconcealable jealousy and resentment rose in her eyes.

Deng Yufei, Shi Jin’s best friend in her past life.

When the Shi family discovered that Shi Jin was not of their bloodline, wanted to kick her out, and forced her to break off her engagement, Deng Yufei had always stood by her side, accompanying her, supporting her, and helping her win back her fiancé’s heart.

However, her true goal was merely to use this to get close to Fu Xiuyuan and become the young mistress of the Fu family.

Thinking of this, Shi Jin revealed a smile. Did she still think she was a little white rabbit?

No, the little white rabbit was already dead!

Standing before Deng Yufei now was nothing but a vengeful wolf and a cunning fox.

"Shi Jin, Fu Xiuyuan is really too much, forcing himself on you again and again against your will. Today, he’s even insisting on forcing you to go register the marriage! Quickly give me your ID card and household registration book; I’ll keep them safe for you. Otherwise, you’ll really become his wife in the eyes of the law! It will be so hard to get a divorce then!"

Shi Jin nodded, reached out to grab a package, and handed it to Deng Yufei, saying, "Feifei, I’ll leave everything to you!"

Deng Yufei took the items, feeling triumphant, and said, "You can rest easy when I’m handling things!"
