In Duke Jingyuan Mansion, Yong'an City, Wuma Kingdom, Nirvana Continent.
It was midsummer, and the bright moonlight shone on a dilapidated attic in the backyard.
"Hanyun, Junyan is suffering from an illness and he won't be able to live much longer. Please tell Aunt Xiru that I don't want to marry him!"
A young woman with disheveled hair and dirty face pleaded with tears. With an egg-sized lump on the left side of her face, she looked horrendous. However, she was Chu Hanzheng, the only legitimate daughter of the Duke Mansion!
"Nonsense! Junyan is bold and brave. He is waiting to meet you in the bridal chamber!" Chu Hanyun shook her head in disgust and snorted. "Get changed quickly. The bridal sedan chair of the Han family is waiting outside!"
Chu Hanzheng trembled and challenged, "There's nothing wrong with him? Well, didn't you always like Junyan? Why don't you marry..."
"Shut up!" Chu Hanyun's expression suddenly changed as she slapped Chu Hanzheng hard on the face. Chu Hanzheng's head hit the corner of the table, causing her to cry out in pain.
"You are courting death!" Chu Hanyun's face was full of malice as she ordered, "Huancui, get her changed into her wedding clothes. Otherwise, she will be beaten to death!"
"Okay!"
After sending Chu Hanyun away, Huancui took out the wedding dress and helped Chu Hanzheng into it. "Miss Hanzheng, you'd better obey. If you don't, you're just asking for it... right?"
Huancui was stunned for a moment when she realized that there was no response from Chu Hanzheng. She carefully reached out to check her breathing, and then screamed, "She's dead? This is bad! Miss..."
Chu Hanzheng's eyes were shut, and the blood on her forehead was still flowing, staining the floor.
A moment later, a white light suddenly beamed from the north and instantly disappeared into her body. Then, everything became calm again...
The world was spinning.
Lan Tianyi felt that she was in a rapidly spinning Ferris wheel. She felt nothing but dizziness.
In a daze, she suddenly felt her mouth open involuntarily, and a smooth and fragrant bead suddenly slid down her throat into her stomach, which made her unconsciously shiver and suddenly open her eyes!
There was a sudden sharp pain on her forehead. She frowned and couldn't help wondering where she was.
She, who was cold, wise and skillful, was the leader of a mercenary group. Using her profession as a doctor as her cover, she was also a professional cardiac surgeon. She was nicknamed "Hand of God". This time, she was secretly entrusted by the local government to steal an ancient cultural relic from a rich man, the Phoenix Ring.
However, the moment she succeeded, the moonlight fell on the ring, and a ball of light suddenly emitted from it. The next moment, she had lost consciousness.
When she opened her eyes once again, she was already in this dilapidated attic. The Phoenix Ring was nowhere to be found. She was just about to get up when she suddenly realized that there was a snow-white Spiritual Fox lying on her chest.
The fox, which was less than a foot long, was very adorable. Its black eyes were round and its small mouth was slightly opened, as if it were smiling!
Lan Tianyi found it interesting and couldn't help but ask, "Are you lost?"
The Spiritual Fox shook its head and climbed up to touch her face with its little paw, as if to confirm something. Lan Tianyi was really shocked. "Can you understand me?"
The Spiritual Fox nodded and suddenly grinned. Its eyes were full of affection as it raised its upper body and rubbed its left paw against the right one.
Fortunately, Lan Tianyi was a steady one, and she quickly calmed down. "If you're not lost, why are you here?"
"Clang!"
The Spiritual Fox let out a soft cry, and a ray of light that was as bright as the stars suddenly flashed across its pitch-black eyes. At this moment, Lan Tianyi suddenly felt a loud echo in her mind, and the memories of this body instantly flooded into her mind: This is the Nirvana Continent guarded by the Dragon God. Martial virtue is honored in this place. The children of Duke Jingyuan are all extremely talented, but Chu Hanzheng is the only one who is unable to cultivate spiritual power.
What was even more unfortunate was that ever since she was six years old, she always claimed that there were some winged monsters flying in front of her at midnight on a full moon night. It was extremely strange.
Of course, no one would believe such nonsense, which caused her to be ridiculed. From then on, an egg-sized lump appeared on her left face. No matter how hard she tried, she could not get rid of it and became known as an ugly monster.
Under such torture, she gradually broke down. At first glance, she indeed looked like a monster. She was seen as unimportant and often bullied by the servants in the mansion, not to mention her siblings. Unexpectedly, the third madam, Duan Xiru, suddenly came and said that she had arranged a marriage for her. Her spouse was to be Han Junyan, the eldest son of the Han family, the rich family in the capital.
Although the members of the Han family were not court officials, they were quite rich. Han Junyan's mother was Duan Xiru's biological sister, so this marriage was considered a heaven-sent blessing for Chu Hanzheng.
However, the fact was that Duan Lianru, Han Junyan's mother, fell for the words of a quack when she saw that her son's illness still hadn't been treated. The quack said that as long as she found a virgin with a cold physique to marry Han Junyan, the illness would be transferred to her instead. Unfortunately for her, Chu Hanzheng met the criteria perfectly.
In fact, Chu Hanzheng was not an idiot, so naturally she refused. However, her defiance resulted in her death. As a result, Lan Tianyi's soul came and occupied her body.
Combined with the memories of her previous and present life, Lan Tianyi, no, Chu Hanzheng gently stroked the lump on the left side of her face with a faint smile. She thought to herself, "Chu Hanzheng, your days of being bullied by others are over. Since I have survived, I will live your life to the fullest!"
With a cold smile, Chu Hanzheng slowly got up. There was a sharp glint in her eyes, and there was no trace of trembling in her body, nor the humble and timid look in her eyes.
As if shocked by her appearance, the Spiritual Fox blinked and carefully touched her face with its small claws. "Hey?"
When Chu Hanzheng came back to her senses, she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance from its mouth. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. "Did you put that bead in my mouth just now?"
"Ow!" The Spiritual Fox nodded profusely as if it had made a great contribution and was waiting to be rewarded. It wagged its furry tail happily.
"What the hell is that? Why do you give it to me?" Chu Hanzheng was a little helpless. "Well, it seems that you won't hurt me..."
As soon as she said this, a burst of hurried and flustered footsteps were approaching. She immediately hid in the dark with the Spiritual Fox. The game had only just begun!
With a creak, the door was pushed open...
