Not Sure What to Title This

One wild night, as the first rays of morning sunlight filtered through the curtains and struck his face, Lin Ran slowly awoke.

The person beside him coiled around him like a water snake, staring at him with an absentminded expression. A crimson stain remained on the white sheets.

In his previous life, this night had been forced upon Lin Ran, and Luo Yao's behavior at the time had been so violent that she seemed ready to disembowel him. He had been terrified.

It was only now, looking back, that he realized this had been Luo Yao's first time as well.

"Awake?" Luo Yao asked, her face expressionless but her heart filled with fear.

She feared that last night had all been a dream, and that her A Ran would continue to flee from her endlessly.

Looking at the breathtaking beauty in his arms, Lin Ran felt an infinite sense of melancholy.

He knew that this seemingly harmless and delicate woman before him was, in fact, a devilishly beautiful, heartless, and ruthless personality, a pathological and obsessive, and could go crazy at any moment.

In his previous life, he had constantly tried to escape her control, but in the end, he had died without succeeding.

He remembered that Luo Yao had suddenly appeared in Lin Ran's freshman year of college, her first words demanding that Lin Ran marry her.

However, when Lin Ran refused, everything began to take a strange turn.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Ran found that he couldn't escape Luo Yao's control. The more he resisted, the closer Luo Yao stuck to him.

It all came to a head after Lin Ran repeatedly confessed his love to the campus beauty, Liu Ruxue. Luo Yao went mad.

She desperately wanted to tie Lin Ran to her side, force him, possess him, even torture him...

Lin Ran and Luo Yao played out the drama of him fleeing and her chasing, making it impossible for him to escape, again for three full years.

Finally, an accident occurred while Luo Yao was on a business trip.

That time, Lin Ran was tricked into signing a share transfer document by his "secret girlfriend" Liu Ruxue, and then he was pushed off the rooftop by Liu Ruxue along with his stepmother and half-brother.

The wind was strong, and the feeling of falling combined with terror left an indelible mark on Lin Ran.

As the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground clearly reached Lin Ran's ears, a brief agony followed, and then Lin Ran was dead.

His father, holding Lin Ran's "suicide note," successfully inherited all of Lin Ran's shares in the Suran Group, adding to his own, making him the de facto number one in the group.

As for Lin Ran, he could only turn into a wisp of soul, quietly watching his scumbag father, stepmother, half-brother, and disloyal lover celebrate his death.

The scumbag father, wanting to get it over with, hastily buried Lin Ran in the wilderness the very next day, but no sooner had he done so than Luo Yao appeared.

Luo Yao went mad, ordering people to dig up Lin Ran's "grave." Laughably, there was no coffin, and no cremation had taken place.

She held Lin Ran's unrecognizable corpse, crying heart-wrenchingly for a long, long time, before finally, she kissed him...

Even as a soul, Lin Ran's eyes widened in disbelief; he didn't understand how Luo Yao could still find the courage to kiss him in such a state.

He himself was repulsed by his own appearance.

"A Ran, why didn't you listen? Why wouldn't you stay by my side..."

"I'm sorry! It's my fault for not protecting you. Wait for me, I'll be with you soon!"

Luo Yao must have been deeply disappointed in him, right?

Luo Yao had Lin Ran's body transported back to 'Dongtian Manor,' and then she simply waited.

Not long after, Lin Tianba, Liu Yuemei, Lin Jian, and Lin Jian's cousin and lover, Liu Ruxue, were dragged in.

The group had been enjoying hotpot and singing at home when they were suddenly brought to the manor.

Facing the world-renowned female tycoon who struck fear into everyone, they trembled like a sieve.

"You killed A Ran, you deserve to be dismembered a thousand times!"

They were all terrified, not doubting for a moment that Luo Yao's words were true.

Everyone in the world knew how crazy and terrifying this woman was.

Weren't they all saying that Lin Ran was just this lady's toy? Why was this madwoman seeking revenge for Lin Ran's death?

Lin Tianba stammered, "Miss Luo, this... this is all a misunderstanding! I am Lin Ran's biological father, how could I have killed him?"

Lin Jian, Liu Yuemei, and Liu Ruxue were even more panicked; they were the ones who had conspired to kill Lin Ran.

Lin Jian: "Miss Luo, this has nothing to do with us!"

Liu Yuemei: "As a mother, I loved little Ran the most; I would never harm him!"

Liu Ruxue: "It's not me... it's not me, I'm the woman Lin Ran loved the most."

In his soul form, Lin Ran watched all this and wryly shook his head.

Lin Tianba hadn't been directly involved, but he had definitely been one of the most eager for Lin Ran's death. He just hadn't realized it while alive, only after dying did he see the true nature of this scumbag father.

Or perhaps, it was only after dying that he was willing to believe what these people were really like.

As the most wealthy and powerful woman in the world, finding out the truth was as easy as pie for Luo Yao.

Her cold, bone-chilling voice slowly said, "None of you are going to die well!"

The murderous intent in Luo Yao's words was palpable; Lin Jian was the first to lose it, flipping over and kowtowing loudly on the ground.

“Miss Luo, I was wrong… I was wrong! It was these two wretched women who schemed everything…”

As he spoke, he shoved his mother and Liu Ruxue forward, leaving both of them in a state of disbelief.

Was this their beloved son/brother?

Liu Yuemei spoke up, “Son, don’t be scared. This woman can’t do anything to us. This is a society governed by the law!”

Lin Jian wanted to curse out loud. Are you out of your mind to talk about the law with the most powerful and wealthy madwoman in the world? Am I the one who’s insane, or are you?

Even if we were to talk about the law, doesn’t the fact that they murdered someone stand?

The law is made for ordinary people, not for the elite.

Liu Ruxue was still in shock, her eyes widening as Luo Yao’s hand suddenly held a bone-cutting knife, making her tremble uncontrollably.

“You can’t kill me! I’m Lin Ran’s favorite woman. If you kill me, he’ll never rest in peace!”

Luo Yao paused, then her eyes blazed with madness.

That’s right! If it weren’t for this woman, her Ah Ran wouldn’t have died.

What did Ah Ran see in Liu Ruxue? Was it just her face? What did he see in Liu Ruxue? Was it just her face?

Lin Ran, who had been watching the scene unfold, couldn’t help but laugh, though it was a laugh of anger.

Holding the knife, Luo Yao approached slowly, her voice cold as ice. “I’ll turn you into a human candle! And this face of yours, you’re so proud of it, aren’t you? I’ll make sure it’s displayed for everyone to admire.”

As agonizing screams echoed, the four of them were left in unspeakable torment, longing for death but unable to die.

Lin Tianba was subjected to a thousand cuts by Luo Yao, and after death, his bones were dumped into a cesspool—that was where he would rest.

Lin Jian was castrated by Luo Yao and thrown into the estate’s fish pond, where he was devoured by crocodiles.

Liu Yuemei was turned into a grand feast, with all of the Liu family members “invited” to partake. Shortly after, the Liu family was annihilated.

As for Liu Ruxue, Luo Yao didn’t kill her. Instead, she transformed her into a beautiful porcelain vase and sent it to Southeast Asia.
