In the darkness, Liu Shishi heard a sigh, and in the distance it seemed there were two voices arguing about something.
She had thought she could accept death calmly, but now she refused to accept it.
To think that she, of all people, had been used by someone.
It was truly...
Suddenly something wrapped around her, and when she opened her eyes again, she was still sitting in the chair at home, with several letters in front of her.
Liu Shishi reached out in disbelief and touched her own face.
Then she turned to look at the mirror.
She was now in her middle years, well-preserved, with barely any wrinkles on her face.
"I... I've been reborn?" Liu Shishi had read quite a few novels in her spare time, and she realized this immediately.
After a brief moment of excitement, her gaze settled on the letters on the table.
They were thank-you letters from impoverished students she had sponsored. Reading the grateful words inside, Liu Shishi found them somewhat ironic. Who would have thought that years later, these very people she had personally pulled out of the mud would look at her coldly or even kick her while she was down?
Her fingers traced over those letters, then stopped at one name.
Wu Yu.
In the letter, she was very grateful to Liu Shishi for her help, and then went on to describe her family's misfortune: her parents abused her, her brother always beat her, and they even tried to sell her for money. Fortunately, Liu Shishi had sent her some money, allowing her to escape that family.
Liu Shishi let out a somewhat self-deprecating sigh.
She had been clever her whole life, only to stumble over a young girl.
If Fang Zhiyi knew, she would definitely laugh at her.
At that moment, Fang Zhiyi and Little Hei were quietly watching her actions. Seeing her slowly put the letters away without seeming angry, Little Hei was a bit puzzled: "She's not planning to just let it go, is she?"
His speculation wasn't unfounded—there had been transmigrators before who tried their best to avoid those rotten people and messy affairs, and although they lived out their lives, they never completed their missions.
"You still don't understand her. Don't forget, she's a green tea btch... The people who make her suffer probably won't end up well." Fang Zhiyi was quite confident.
What they didn't expect was that the reborn Liu Shishi's first action was to put on makeup, then admire herself in the mirror for a long time, and only then casually head out.
But this time, instead of keeping a low profile as usual, she made a phone call, and before long a driver arrived in a luxury car and drove into the neighborhood. In full view of many neighbors, Liu Shishi smiled and got into the back seat.
"Ms. Liu, where are we headed?" The driver was a bit puzzled. Liu Shishi had always been low-key; he didn't know what was different today that she had told him to drive the car straight into the neighborhood.
But as a driver, he didn't think it was his place to pry.
"To the company."
After Fang Zhiyi disappeared, she had left Liu Shishi quite a few things to work with. Liu Shishi had always thought that if Fang Zhiyi ever got tired of wandering and came back, she would need these things, so she had managed them carefully, while also looking after the charity foundation Fang Zhiyi had left behind. In truth, the foundation's funds were almost depleted, because Fang Zhiyi had simply taken money out to do good deeds without much influence, and over the years it had been supported by Liu Shishi's company.
But now that she had died once, she had come to a clear understanding.
The first thing she did was completely cut off the company's financial support for the foundation.
Many people were surprised by this move.
Had Ms. Liu finally reached her limit after holding on for so long?
But then, Liu Shishi released a statement: first, she listed the help she had given to the foundation Fang Zhiyi had left behind and the difficulties she had encountered; second, she said that if she kept going like this, she couldn't hold on anymore, and in the future she would prioritize using company profits to improve employee benefits.
This statement made quite a few people take notice of what Liu Shishi had done. Many netizens only then discovered that there had been a charity foundation building schools and nursing homes all along, and Liu Shishi's name became somewhat popular.
What made her truly famous was her latest company policy.
Any employee of her company would have their bonuses doubled, paid leave during holidays, strict enforcement of overtime pay, and even several other added benefits.
This made countless workers envious.
An assistant brought documents for Liu Shishi to sign.
"Ms. Liu, this is the money to be sent this month to the children you sponsor. Please take a look."
Liu Shishi nodded and carefully flipped through them.
After a while, she pulled out a few pages and set them aside, signing the rest.
"Ms. Liu, these ones..."
"Don't worry about those. I'll handle them myself."
"Understood."
Little Hei saw this and was somewhat displeased: "Come on, those who didn't help her clarify things back then—she's not cutting off their sponsorship?"
Fang Zhiyi smiled: "If she directly cut off all the impoverished students' sponsorship, would you dare to trust her? When people face decisions, they weigh pros and cons—that's human nature. And she didn't help these people in the first place for personal gain. She's figured that out."
Little Hei pondered for a moment.
"You do have a point."
Fang Zhiyi nodded with satisfaction.
Ahem. "You know, you really understand her quite well."
Fang Zhiyi instinctively turned to look at Little Hei: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Hehe, if Yue Anyao found out, what do you think would happen?"
Fang Zhiyi drew in a sharp breath: "Little Hei, we've known each other for so long—you don't want me to be miserable for the rest of my life, do you?"
"You don't have a 'rest of your life,' but I'd love to see Yue Anyao's expression when she finds out."
"Stop being a troublemaker!"
"What? You're calling Yue Anyao and the others troublemakers?"
"You..."
"Alright, alright. I'll be the bigger person. I'll keep my mouth shut about today!" Little Hei felt oddly pleased—finally winning one round, and watching Fang Zhiyi squirm brought him great satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Liu Shishi smiled and dialed a phone number.
"Hello, is this Wu Yu's family?"
The voice on the other end was clearly impatient.
But Liu Shishi remained cheerful: "I'm the person who sponsors her schooling. She wrote to me saying she's being abused by her family—is that true?"
There was silence on the other end for a moment, then someone else took over the phone.
"Oh, is that so? That's good, that's good."
"What? You're saying you just need the money sent to you? But if she doesn't receive the money, she'll blame me."
"Alright, alright. You sound like reasonable people. Just make sure you don't hit her."
After hanging up, Liu Shishi hummed a few lines of a song and dialed another number.
"Hello, is this Li Yinyin's father? It's like this—she told me you always get drunk and throw tantrums. If this continues, I'll have to notify the community on her behalf. Please be kinder to your child."
"Don't curse at me. You're so aggressive—Yinyin will pick up your bad habits."

s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules.
