On the day of my miscarriage, the doctor told me it would be very challenging for me to conceive again.

Zhou Shuming kneeled before my hospital bed, tears streaming down his face, as he proposed to me.

At that moment, I thought I had found my light.

However, after the wedding, he tampered with my car, causing me to sustain severe injuries from a car accident.

Next, he convinced my mother to give up on my treatment.

All of this was done to legally claim all of my family’s property.

As I was on my last breath, my nephew was diagnosed with renal failure.

To save him, Zhou Shuming forcefully removed my kidney while I was still conscious.

Because that boy was his and my sister-in-law's real son.

After my death, he dropped his facade.

My funeral rites had not yet been completed before he eagerly married my sister-in-law.

When I opened my eyes again, I had gone back to the day he proposed to me.

This time, I intended to watch them walk down their path of destruction and pay the price.

"Fei Yun, don't be scared. Even though you can't conceive anymore, I don't care. As long as you are by my side in this lifetime, I already am completely satisfied, I will not ask for more."

Zhou Shuming's choking words snapped me back to reality, the hatred in my heart ready to consume me.

His eyes were filled with warm tears, and his gaze was full of devout sincerity as he kneeled by my sickbed, uttering the same words he said in our past life.

“Will you marry me?”

In my past life, I was moved by him, responding through my tears.

Shortly after our marriage, Zhou Shuming bought me a large life insurance policy wherein he was the beneficiary.

He was a devil who walked straight out of hell.

He took everything from me - my fortune, my kidney, and my life.

The death of my brother was no accident. He had stumbled upon Zhou Shuming’s affair with He Ruoxin, only for his body to be discarded in the wilderness.

They had murdered my brother and me. Using their marriage certificate, they seized all of our family's possessions.

My mother, bereft of her children, was cast out of the house and left to wander the streets.

Because of this pair of wolves and leopards, our household was ruined and all of its members died.

"Feiyun, will you?"

Seeing that I wasn’t responding, Zhou Shuming started to become anxious.

Fingernails sinking into my palms, I came back to my senses and regained my rationality.

Since God has given me a chance to start over.

I will make them all pay.

He Ruoxin laughed insincerely, clasping onto my arm.

"Feiyun must be overjoyed. She's lucky to have found Shuming, a man who dotes on his wife so much. Not to mention Shuming's handsome looks and occupation as a doctor, Feiyun is truly fortunate. Unlike me, who lost my husband at an early age, I'm really envious."

I scoffed, "If you're so envious, then marry him yourself."

A flash of resentment appeared in He Ruoxin's eyes.

My mother frowned, "Lin Feiyun, don't be ungrateful. The doctor has declared you a barren hen. Shuming is willing to marry you; you should be overwhelmingly grateful instead of sulking here."

Her words pierced through my heart like a sharp sword.

I knew that she favored boys over girls. In the past, she preferred my brother, and now, my nephew and sister-in-law.

I had been fooling myself, telling myself that my mother was just biased, that she still loved me.

It was not until she signed the consent for giving up on my resuscitation and organ donation, prioritizing my nephew's life over mine, that I accepted reality.

My mother does not love me.

I responded slowly, "I understand, Mom."

My fingertips felt sticky, my palm bleeding from my grip.

I closed my eyes, a tear trickling down from the corner.

My sister-in-law laughed, but I could detect the jealousy in her voice, "Little sister is moved to tears."

Zhou Shuming remains kneeling, "I will devote my whole life to proving my love for you, Fei Yun. Marry me, give me a chance."

I chuckled, looking at the man on the ground, "Alright."

Marriage

"My body is in a state of discomfort right now, and I have a friend with inside connections who can help us get the marriage license."

Zhou Shuming agrees immediately.

When the marriage certificate arrives, Zhou Shuming and his sister-in-law hold it in their hands, examining it over and over, their eyes filled with greed.

But they don't know that the certificate is fake.

In this life, I will never let myself fall into passive danger again.

My sister-in-law and my mother return home to cook for my nephew.

On our wedding night, Zhou Shuming moves into the city centre house that my aunt left me.

The Lin family has always prioritized men over women, but my aunt, through her own efforts, amassed a fortune of tens of millions.

My aunt has no children. When she was diagnosed with cancer, the family did everything they could to make my brother her heir.

But my aunt did not compromise. She personally groomed me to the level where I could take over the company.

Not minding the curses from relatives, she bequeathed all her life's earnings to me.

This time, I have to live up to her sacrifices and protect this heritage.

When preparing to go to bed, Zhou Shuming tucked me in and looked concerned, saying, "Tonight is our wedding night, but the hospital suddenly called me back for emergency surgery. You're so kind-hearted, I'm sure you'll understand."

I nodded, watching him walk out the door.

Not long after, my secretary sent me a video.

Sure enough, Zhou Shuming was not going to the hospital to work overtime.

He met up with He Ruoxin in the parking lot. As soon as they saw each other, they forgot themselves in a passionate hug and disappeared into a nearby hotel.

I watched the two of them in the video, wishing I could tear them apart.

But it's not the right time yet.

While Zhou Shuming was gone, I installed hidden cameras around our home.

In my previous life, He Ruoxin, full of jealousy, came to my house with my mother and demanded to move in the day after my wedding.

As I expected, they came.

As soon as the two of them entered, they began to cry.

He Ruoxin wiped away her tears, "Yaozu is about to start primary school, running 10 kilometers back and forth every day. It really breaks my heart as a mother."

My mother hugged her and comforted her, then looked at me.

"Yaozu is Feiyun's only nephew and will be the only child of our Lin family in the future. Feiyun cannot possibly ignore him. I'll fight for justice for Yaozu, even if it costs me my life."

I watched their act with a cold eye.

The two finished their act before revealing their intentions.

I didn't play games with them, I agreed readily.

These days, the room is filled with surveillance, their every action hereafter will not escape my eyes.

Changing household registration

The house becomes bustling.

To give them alone time, I quickly return to the company.

No sooner had I set foot in the company than the two sidestepped my mother, causing an upheaval in the living room.

"You have some nerve, this is Lin Feiyun's house, aren't you afraid she'll find out?"

"You are her husband, what's hers is yours, and what's yours is mine, this whole Lin family fortune belongs to me, He Ruoxin."

"Fine, it's all yours."

A wave of nausea swept over me, making me want to throw up.

In my previous life, I was kept in the dark by the two of them till the day I died.

Every time I had a date with Zhou Shuming, my sister-in-law would insist that I take my nephew along.

Whenever Zhou Shuming and I went out for a trip, she and my nephew would definitely follow.

I had always thought she was sincerely good to me, and everything she did was just to build a good relationship between me and my nephew.

Unexpectedly, she had been watching all of me from the beginning.

I came home from work.

My mom beckoned me to eat.

The table was full of dishes, all tailored to the tastes of my nephew, sister-in-law, and Zhou Shuming.

In front of me, only vegetarian dishes remained.

She seemed to treat Zhou Shuming as if he were her own son, transferring the favoritism she used to have for my brother onto Zhou Shuming.

In her heart, I was as unimportant as she was to herself.

In the past, I wouldn't have cared, but after this round of heavy work, I can no longer tolerate such blatant favoritism. I rose to my feet and switched all the meat dishes in front of me.

My mother was discontented, her eyebrows tightly knitted as her chopsticks clattered heavily onto the table.

I scoffed and said, "Living under my roof and eating my food, it's good enough for certain people not to be charged for their meals. And now they won't even allow me to eat meat?"

Suddenly, my nephew snatched away the chicken leg in my bowl and said viciously, "Mom said after you die, all the money will be mine. Every chicken leg is mine, no one is allowed to eat it!"

My mother, laughing, patted my nephew's head fondly and intentionally shot me a glance.

However, my sister-in-law slapped my nephew all of a sudden, "Give it back to your aunt."

I was surprised, she had never hit Lin Yaozu before.

She continued to reprimand Lin Yaozu, "Your aunt can't have children in this life. In the future, you will be the only offspring of the Lin family and the only descendant of your aunt. You should respect your aunt."

He Ruoxin put on a fawning expression and looked at me. "Yaozu is still immature, so he might need to lean on you, Auntie, for support in the future. With such a vast business empire, Yaozu will surely need to struggle to support you."

Zhou Shuming chimed in.

Their excitement grew as they continued talking.

A spark twinkled in He Ruoxin's eyes. "Why not transfer Yaozu's household registration to Feiyun's name? Feiyun can't have children, so this would at least help comfort her a little."

I clapped my hands and cheered in approval.

He Ruoxin was so excited that she almost immediately rushed off to get the household registry.

I stopped her and said, "Does that mean Yaozu will have to call me Mom from now on?"

Their faces changed drastically at my words.

He Ruoxin burst into tears promptly. "You're trying to kill me!"

My mother's expression darkened. "What are you thinking? Do you want your brother to rest in peace?"

Ironically, my mother didn't realize that the person who murdered her beloved son was standing right in front of her.

The grandson she cherishes isn't even of the Lin family blood.

Over the years, everything she has done was just making a wedding dress for someone else.

If my brother knew this, he would be so upset he might come back to life.

I tried desperately to keep my cool and not let revenge cloud my judgement.

My eldest brother has been dead for many years, so evidence is hard to come by.

I need to press them into taking new action.

But letting Yaozu be registered under my name is absolutely unacceptable.

I'm not foolish enough to hand over my property so easily.

I pulled out the prepared contract for equal wager and tossed it in front of them.

If I lose the bet, a massive debt will also encumber Yaozu under my name.

The three were unwilling for Yaozu to be exposed to any risk. They fell silent in consensus, their eyes rolling around, their thoughts almost written on their faces.

They were hoping that after I win the bet, they could pressure me to acknowledge Yaozu.

Sadly, Yaozu didn't live long enough to see that day.

With the contract for equal wager in place, Zhou Shuming and He Ruoxin pose no immediate threat to my life for the time being.

After all, if I die, the contract for equal wager I've signed won't be void.

The two of them have no business acumen.

As long as they have a smidgen of self-awareness, they would know that killing me now would simply hand over the company's assets.

Before returning to my room, I smiled at my sister-in-law and Zhou Shuming, before slowly opening my mouth.

"Who said Yaozu is the sole heir of the Lin family? The doctor has said my check-up results are very positive, pregnancy is not out of the question, right, my husband?"

He Ruoxin suddenly stood up, accidentally knocking over the bowl filled with hot soup.

The Poisoning Act

In the deep of night, Zhou Shuming, true to form, couldn't keep his composure and stealthily slipped out of the bedroom.

And he went to He Ruoxin's room again.

I switched on the camera to observe the live feed.

Zhou Shuming kept stoking the fire.

He Ruoxin had become more anxious about the possibility of me still having reproductive capabilities.

She kept threatening Zhou Shuming with Lin Yaozu, telling him not to sleep with me.

Zhou Shuming kept reassuring her, asking her to put her heart at ease.

I sneered.

After my rebirth, each time Zhou Shuming came near, I felt sick to my stomach.

On the night we registered our marriage, I made a deal with him on the grounds that I just had a miscarriage and was emotionally troubled; that for the next six months, we wouldn't need to fulfill our conjugal duties.

But she was still unsure, her eyes filled with a venomous uncertainty.

Might as well play for keeps.

What else would make her feel more secure and at peace than the fact that I'm truly infertile?

The next day, He Ruoxin bought a large amount of birth control pills that contain estrogen.

After I got off work, she deliberately sent my mother out, brought a plate of cake to me with a smirk on her corner of her mouth.

"Feiyun, you must have had a busy day. Hurry up and taste the cake I made specially for you."

Upon hearing this, my nephew came running out of his room, a pencil in his mouth.

"I also want to eat, give it all to me."

He Ruoxin glared at my nephew and smacked him away with a slap.

The nephew instantly burst into tears, beating the floor and making a fuss.

He Ruoxin pushed the plate into my hands and shoved me into the study.

I placed the plate on a cabinet by the study door, leaving the door ajar.

After a short while, under the cover of He Ruoxin's nap, my nephew sneakily managed to steal all the cake from the study's doorway.

He scrumptiously murmured while eating, "Why can't my aunt die earlier, then everything would be all mine."

Later on, I had my meetings in the study every day.

Without announcement, He Ruoxin would directly put the plate on the cabinet in the study and take it away when she got up at night.

Two months passed.

He Ruoxin prepared different kinds of desserts for me every day.

Everything ended up in Yaozu's stomach.

The weather gradually heated up, slowly entering summer.

I unusually returned home early.

Just in time to encounter my filthy-faced nephew wailing loudly in the living room, his eyes swollen to the size of walnuts.

My mom and He Ruoxin were anxiously consoling him.

"Who says Yaozu has a large chest? We've just grown fatter, this is wealth."

Lin Yaozu wore short sleeves to school today.

Upon seeing his unusual chest, his classmates mocked him, saying he was a girl.

Lin Yaozu, unable to bear it, fought with his classmates, ending up looking like this.

Suddenly, He Ruoxin's hand accidentally touched Lin Yaozu's swollen area, causing him to sharply inhale from pain.

My mom and He Ruoxin then realized that something was not right.

They immediately took Yaozu to the hospital where Zhou Shuming works.

After a series of examinations, they were all dumbfounded.

Lin Yaozu showed no signs of secondary sexual characteristics development, some parts were even severely atrophied.

Even if intervention starts now, whether he is able to produce offspring in the future remains an unknown.

More than that.

Imaging results suggested a malignant change in Yaozu's enlarged chest.

Zhou Shuming invited several senior directors, only to unanimously conclude that Yaozu had breast cancer.

The three of them stood dumbfounded, refusing to believe what they had heard.

After regaining her senses, my mother staggered.

"There's no way my precious grandson has breast cancer!"

"How could Yaozu, the only seedling of our Lin family, be ill?! Attack me instead! I don't mind having breast cancer at this age, but how is my grandson supposed to live with this? How can I face our ancestors in the afterlife?"

He Ruoxin grabbed the doctor, kneeling and begging him to save the patient.

The doctor shook his head and was subsequently cursed as a quack.

Zhou Shuming quickly covered her mouth, apologizing to the doctor, after all, he still needed to work here.

The doctor was unphased. He had seen plenty of ruffians, it was all small fries to him.

Just then, the blood test report came out.

The doctor immediately frowned.

"The estrogen level in this boy's body is abnormally high, which is very abnormal. The body cannot produce so much hormone by itself. His breast cancer is heavily linked to this."

He Ruoxin was greatly alarmed, screaming that it was impossible.

Her eyes were bloodshot. She suddenly turned around, ready to hit me. "It's you!"

I quickly hid behind the doctor, feigning innocence, and pointed to my face. "Me?"

He Ruoxin gritted her teeth. "You poisoned Yaozu. You... What were your intentions? I'm calling the police!"

I rolled my eyes.

"Calm down; I never fed him anything. Besides, I have no grudge against him. He's the only heir of our Lin family. How could I possibly harm him?"

He Ruoxin stumbled as if she remembered something.

"Those desserts, didn't you eat them?"

I waved my hand. "What desserts? I've never seen them. Are you referring to the empty plate in my study that should have been filled with desserts?"

Yaozu continued to cry, "You're biased, giving all the delicious desserts to Auntie, and not letting me have a single bite. I wanted to sneak a few for myself, I ate all of it."

My mother comforted him lovingly. "What's wrong with having some desserts? You can eat whatever you want, Yaozu."

He Ruoxin was so angry that she slapped Yaozu on the spot.

I step by step walked over to He Ruoxin, looking into her trembling eyes.

"Sister-in-law, are you implying you poisoned the desserts?"
