Chapter 1: Rebirth

She had actually returned once again.

Sitting on the bed, Ye Leng'an’s expression was somewhat dazed. She looked at the surroundings, which felt both familiar and strange, unable to distinguish whether this was reality or merely a hallucination.

It was a luxurious yet tasteful room. The decor was primarily blue and white, revealing a hint of opulence amidst its simple and elegant design. Although the furnishings were sparse, one could tell they were quite expensive.

From this, it was evident that the owner of this room was a person of great taste.

Ye Leng'an was not at all unfamiliar with this room; this was her room in the Ye family home.

No, to be precise, this was the room she had lived in before Ye Xiyuan returned. After Ye Xiyuan came back to the Ye family, she had moved out of this room. Afterward, Ye Xiyuan moved in and had the room redecorated.

Following that, she moved into the guest room, like an outsider living under the Ye family's roof. In reality, she was indeed an outsider in this so-called home.

She had once been the eldest daughter of the Ye family, but on the eve of her sixteenth birthday, an unexpected event shattered her once-peaceful life.

The Ye family matriarch, Lin Wanqin, had been in a car accident and required a blood transfusion from a family member. After her blood was tested, it was discovered that it did not match either of her parents'. In other words, she was not the Ye family’s daughter at all.

Looking at this place that was once both strange and familiar, Ye Leng'an felt no ripples in her heart.

If she had been reborn immediately after her death in her first life, perhaps she would have been very agitated, eager for revenge, and wanting to seek justice for herself. However, after experiencing the long, arduous years in the cultivation world, she was very calm at this moment.

Of course, this did not mean she could completely let go of everything that had happened in the past. Although many years had passed since those various incidents, she still could not forget them, including the moment of her tragic death.

She looked up at the calendar, her expression indifferent.

If she remembered correctly, today was the day Ye Xiyuan would return to the Ye family.

In the past, after Ye Xiyuan returned to the Ye family, she had intended to leave this place. After all, she knew in her heart that she had occupied Ye Xiyuan’s position for so long; if she continued to stay, it would not be good for anyone.

However, Ye Xiyuan had kept asking her to stay and even had the Ye parents persuade her, saying they could be good sisters.

She had been reluctant to part with her adoptive parents, and with Ye Xiyuan’s repeated entreaties, she had ultimately stayed.

Yet, she had not expected that staying would be the beginning of her nightmare. She was constantly framed by Ye Xiyuan, but everyone stood on Ye Xiyuan’s side. Everyone felt that she was targeting Ye Xiyuan because she felt her own status was threatened.

No one believed her; everyone thought she was vain and greedy, which was why she kept clinging to the Ye family and refused to leave.

In the end, she was wretchedly driven out of the Ye family.

However, being driven out of the Ye family was not the end. Even after she was kicked out, Ye Xiyuan did not let her go. In the end, she died after having her bone marrow drained. Because Ye Xiyuan had leukemia, and her bone marrow happened to be a match.

She was kidnapped by one of Ye Xiyuan’s admirers, had her bone marrow completely drained, and died on the operating table.

Ye Leng'an rolled over and stood up directly.

She closed her eyes and felt around.

Opening her eyes again, Ye Leng'an’s eyes were filled with joy. She raised her hand, palm upward, and with a single thought, a cluster of flames, appearing both golden and black, danced in her palm.

Netherworld Prison Fire, her natal flame.

She hadn't expected that although she had returned to this world, her natal fire had followed her. Moreover, just a moment ago, she had actually sensed the presence of spiritual energy.

Most importantly, she discovered that her cultivation had not completely vanished. Although it had regressed significantly, it was still possible to cultivate.

"Miss, Sir and Madam would like you to come downstairs."

Just as Ye Leng'an was immersed in her joy, a knock came at the door.
