"What? You got the wrong soul?!"
"I just finished my revenge, drove those freaks out of the Yun family, and before I could enjoy my life, I was brought here."
"Now, you're telling me that you summoned the wrong soul?!"
Yun Qingyao was truly incensed!
Originally, she was the heiress of the wealthy Yun family, pampered by her parents from a young age. However, when she was ten years old, her parents tragically died in a car accident, and the Yun family's fortune fell into the hands of her second uncle.
She went from being a cherished little princess to an unsupported child, living her life at the mercy of others.
It was not until she turned 18 that she discovered, by accident, that her parents were killed by her second uncle and aunt!
She spent a whole decade exacting revenge, finally reclaiming the Yun family and clearing out the traitors and degenerates from Yun Corporation. She planned for a break.
Just as she was taking a nap, she was unexpectedly brought here by the reaper from the underworld in her sleep.
The Yama looked at the ledger of life and death, worrying about two people with the same name.
"One is 82 years old, and the other is 28. How could you make such a mistake?"
The reapers, Hei and Bai, were trembling on their knees, not daring to utter a word.
"I don't care. If you don't take me back, I won't leave today!"
With that, Yun Qingyao casually sat on the ground and stared at the Yama.
The Yama rubbed his forehead helplessly, "It's too late, you can't go back. Your body in that world has been cremated..."
"What? Cremated?!" Yun Qingyao leaped to her feet, seething in fury, "Then what do you suggest now?"
"This is your fault. You must give me an explanation today!"
These past ten years haven't been easy for her. Good times were just about to start, only for her life to be taken due to the mistake of the reaper!
Yun Qingyao was so angry that she nearly became scattered in spirit!
Upon hearing this, King Yama flipped through the book of life and death in his hand, suddenly thought of something and then spoke, "You can't return to your original body, but I can arrange a new one for you."
Yun Qingyao frowned, "New body? What kind of status? Will the life be better than at the Yun Family's?"
King Yama wanted to speak, but stopped and in the end only said, "The life might be worse compared to the Yun Family's… But if you don't hurry to reincarnate, you might really become a wandering ghost."
"Anyway, this is your only chance. If you're not willing, I can't do anything about it."
Yun Qingyao really wanted to curse.
But being angry wasn't a solution, she didn't want to become a wandering ghost, she had to reincarnate as soon as possible.
She snorted coldly, "It obviously isn’t a good status. In that case, give me some compensation, and I'll reincarnate immediately. Otherwise... I'll stir up your underworld until heaven and earth are overturned!"
"Anyway, I'm about to become a wandering ghost. I have nothing to be afraid of!"
King Yama only felt a severe headache, he endured the annoyance, took off a ring from his hand and threw it to her, then waved at the black and white wardens.
"Take her away! Quick, take her away!"
"Yes!"
Just as Yun Qingyao was about to examine a ring she had just received, she was abruptly pushed by Heibai Wuchang!
“Ahh!!”
After feeling as if the world was spinning around, she opened her eyes only to find herself lying in a hospital ward.
"Miss Yun, why are you still lying there? You're almost late for your blind date!"
"That blind date of yours is a one-in-a-hundred type of good lad. If you're not quick, he'll be snatched away by others!"
At that moment, a middle-aged woman, oozing a sense of the time and age, hastily entered the room and started going on at her.
A blind date?
What blind date?
Yun Qingyao could only feel a splitting headache as though something was crazily invading her brain.
"What are you still lazing on the bed for? Quickly get up and dress yourself!"
"The old madam from the Chang family has already gone to call her niece. If you don't go soon, they'll get a head start!"
"The young man today is really a catch, his whole family are official employees of state-owned factories. The lad himself is tall and muscular, there's a handful of girls who wish to marry him!"
"If I hadn't used my connections to arrange this for you, you might not even have a chance to meet him!"
"Hurry up, make good use of your time to tidy up!"
Amidst the constant chatter of this woman, Yun Qingyao finally managed to regain her senses, with a surge of unfamiliar memories flooding into her mind.
Her present body carries the name of Yun Qingyao, who turned 18 this year.
The current time was in the 1970s, an era of poverty where basic needs were yet to be met. The year was 1976, and the Chinese New Year had just passed.
Yun Qingyao, at the age of 18, lived in a remote county called Yu County located in southern central China; specifically, in a village squadron called "Lambs Ridge".
The family situation was like those commonly featured in online novels; filled with despicable relatives and a good-for-nothing father whom she barely wanted to acknowledge.
According to the original host's memories, this chaos had arisen because her worthless father had taken up with a woman from the city. Viewing her and her mother as burdens, he forced her mother into divorcing him.
With the family's disgraceful relatives uniting to oppress them, the mother-daughter duo fought back. The conflict escalated until the old matriarch struck the original host's mother with a stick, leaving her severely injured and unconscious.
The original host had a volatile temper which went off easily like a firecracker.
She was unafraid to fight anyone who dared to offend her.
When she saw her mother being attacked by the Yun family members, she picked up a kitchen knife and charged at them, only to wind up faint and fallen due to her rage.
As both mother and daughter fell unconscious, the commune leaders swiftly arranged for them to be admitted to the county hospital. However, given the severity of their injuries, they were urgently transferred to the city hospital.
Although the original host had survived, the doctor stated that her mother's surgery would cost two hundred yuan. Left with no choice, she reached out to her despicable father for money. He, however, adamantly refused to give even a cent, resulting in a major dispute at the hospital.
The middle-aged woman who had just spoken to her was a relative of the patient in the next room and happened to be a matchmaker.
Upon observing Yun Qingyao's beauty and the fact that she was educated up to high school level, coupled with her present financial desperation, the woman took the initiative to approach her. She offered to introduce Yun Qingyao to a potential suitor, assuring her that if the arrangement became successful, she would receive a dowry to cover the surgery costs.
Given her lack of options, the original host agreed to the proposition.
However, due to the actions of the Yun family and her good-for-nothing father, the original host was filled with so much rage that she couldn't sleep. In the end, her fury led to her own demise.
This allowed Yun Qingyao to take an advantage, utilizing another's death for her own rebirth.
Yun Qingyao suddenly remembered that before leaving the Underworld, the Yama had thrown her a ring as compensation...
Thinking about this, she instinctively reached under the bed covers, finding a grey-white ring laying in the palm of her hand.
Recalling Yama's distressed expression from before, she had high hopes for this ring!
Seeing that the ring had also come along, Yun Qingyao sighed in relief.
"Yun Family's maiden, I am speaking to you, did you hear me?"
The middle-aged woman nudged her again, her eyebrows furrowed as she looked her over with a complicated expression.
"You're not thinking of backing out, are you?"
"If you don't go, what about the money for your mother's surgery? The doctor mentioned yesterday that your mother needs to enter the operation room today, any further delays and her life is at risk."
As she said those words, probably due to the influence of the previous soul's consciousness, Yun Qingyao quickly flipped over, “Auntie, I understand. I will go there right away.”
"That's right, go ahead quickly.”
The middle-aged woman seemed to let out a sigh of relief as well, a smile spread across her face. As she swayed and walked away, she didn't forget to say: “I’ll be waiting for your good news.”
