Murong Xue was the heiress of the Murong family, a renowned family with long history and enormous wealth. However, she was betrayed by her cousin and boyfriend, a couple of paramours. She found her parent killed and herself imprisoned, losing property, dignity and life. The hatred burning in her heart during her last moment brought her reincarnation. Back to the time when she was 15, this time she swore to take revenge and protect her family by throwing away her innocence and using the magical space hidden in an ancient bracelet inherited from her grandma. While getting hold of her own life, she discovered the mystery of her family and met her true love.
There was no cloud in the darkness. The atmosphere was too stuffy for people to breathe.
In the basement of the Fang Family's mansion, a delicate figure was lying on the ground, dispirited and inert. Her clothes had already been dirty and worn-out. A thick iron chain locked her arms and legs with the dark keyhole covered with rust. It should have been a long time since it was unlocked last time.
In the room, the faint light spilled on the slim figure, lighting her small pale face. On that face, there was a pair of dark eyes, hollow and lifeless. A terrifying scar on the woman's face crossed from her forehead to her collarbone, which destroyed her delicate face directly.
No one could ever think that the shabby-clothed woman with scars all over her was the daughter of the Murong Family. Murong Xue had been imprisoned in this basement for a week. The people imprisoning her were actually Fang Shihua, her boyfriend and her bosom friend. She had sworn to death to follow Fang Shihua after abandoning all her family members, including her parents. Also, she had treated her bosom friend so sincerely that she was even willing to risk her life to protect her.
At this moment, there came the sound of high-heeled shoes hitting the floor outside the door. Needless to think about it, the footsteps must belong to Xiao Keli, Murong Xue's distant cousin who was staying at the Murong Family. And Xiao Keli was also her bosom friend whom she had always regarded as her biological elder sister and risked her own life to protect. Xiao Keli was a woman with a weak and soft appearance but a cruel and merciless heart. It was a pity that Murong Xue had been so stupid that she hadn't discovered her true face for so many years.
"Hurry up! Open the door! I want to share the good news with my dear sister." Unlike her behavior in the past, Xiao Keli's tone was full of obvious excitement.
"My dear sister, I have a piece of good news to tell you!" Xiao Keli wore a light green maxi dress, with waist-length black hair loosely bound behind her head. Her skin was as white as snow. And her cheek was as pink as a peach blossom. It was obviously a delicate and lovable face, but it made Murong Xue feel her face was terrifying and hideous.
Murong Xue had been maintaining her previous postures. She didn't move at all. It seemed that she knew nothing about the arrival of Xiao Keli. However, was it really true? Only god knew how much hatred was there in Murong Xue's heart. She made a huge mistake by being as blind as a bat, and devoting her sincerity to the wrong person.
Apparently, Xiao Keli had also been accustomed to the silence of Murong Xue. However, she believed that the news later could stop Murong Xue from keeping calm. Xiao Keli wanted to see Murong Xue cry and fall to the ground, being no longer able to keep herself high above others.
"Murong Xue, what do you have to be proud of? The Murong Family that you took pride in will no longer exist. Do you know? Auntie and uncle really love you. They have risked their life and met a tragic end just after hearing the false news I released. I told them that their beloved daughter had been caught by Heixiao, the largest underworld in Huamei..."
Murong Xue stood up quickly. Her body suffering from long-term malnutrition shook greatly, "It's impossible! You liar!" The hoarse voice and unstable breath revealed how nervous Murong Xue was.
"You don't believe me? Take a look. What is this?!!!" Xiao Keli saw Murong Xue's suspicion so she took something out of her pocket. It was the bracelet that Murong Xue's mum always wore!
Feeling dizzy, Murong Xue almost collapsed.
"It seems that you finally believe me. Look at you. How pale your little face is! It really makes others feel sorry for you. I wonder whom you can seduce with such a terrible appearance now. Ha-ha!" Xiao Keli enjoyed the feeling very much at this moment. Murong Xue had always kept herself high above others, and treated Xiao Keli with pity and sympathy all the time. Why could she act like that? Xiao Keli was eager to let Murong Xue lose all her reputation and die a tragic death. Only when Murong Xue disappeared could the hatred in Xiao Keli's heart be slaked.
"Is it because of you? Is it someone you've arranged to kill them? You will never meet a good end!" Murong Xue was really smart. She soon figured out the key truth.
"Oh. So you are not too stupid after all. Do you really think that Fang Shihua loves you? He has planned it all well from the beginning. His true love is me!" The heart-biting pain made Murong Xue's emaciated body tremble. She seemed to fall at the next moment.
"In order to take control of the Murong Family, Fang Shihua did everything to please you, including saving your life and planting flowers for you. Do you really think that he loves you? It's no more than his play. Only you believe it to be true. You think he will be grateful when you do the housework and cut down your connection to your family. However, he'll only hate and dislike you more." Hearing the harsh words, Murong Xue recalled Fang Shihua's tenderness and his bravery when she was kidnapped. It turned out that everything was a trick. How ridiculous it was!
"Xiao Keli, Fang Shihua has set me up for power, but why are you helping him? I think I have always been so sincere to you. I even risked my life to save you and treated you like my biological sister. The Murong Family also treated you kindly. Why are you..."
"Stop being so arrogant. You simply have the identity of Miss Murong, but you are obviously so stupid. You are no match to me. I just don't want you to live a good life. And you know what? You have done me a big favor. Do you remember the bracelet that you gave me? It was so precious. You were so foolish to send it out. This bracelet contains a room, inside which there is a magical spring. Don't you see that I'm more and more beautiful? It's the benefit of the magical spring. What's more, this magical spring can even prolong life. One drop of it should be bought with a large amount of money. It has helped me to pave the way and establish relationships. Ha-ha!" There was suddenly a magnificent bracelet appearing around Xiao Keli's wrist.
Murong Xue remembered the bracelet. It was given to Murong Xue by her grandma. After Xiao Keli saw it once by accident, she had always said that she liked it and begged for it for countless times. Murong Xue found it hard to refuse her, so she said that it could be lent to Xiao Keli to wear. However, later when Murong Xue wanted to ask her to give it back to her, Xiao Keli said guiltily that it was missing and that it might be stolen. Although Murong Xue felt sorry for it, she did not blame Xiao Keli. At this moment, Murong Xue's heart was pierced with grief, hardly wishing to live.
"I hate it! I hate that I've been blind throughout my life! If there is an afterlife, I will let you live a miserable life. You'll fall to hell and stay there forever with no chance to be reincarnated!" Covered in blood, Murong Xue collapsed to the ground. A large amount of blood gushed out of her mouth. She had been dead with her eyes open!
