Capital City of Shenzhou Country, Ning Family residence.

On December 12th, 1988, in the Shenzhou calendar, roughly 10 o'clock in the morning.

Weng Lanlan, eldest daughter-in-law of the Ning Family, rested in the opulent delivery room exclusively prepared by the family, on the verge of giving birth.

The entire Ning Family remained on edge, anxiously anticipating the arrival of the twins she carried.

One twin inside Weng Lanlan's womb had been foretold by Master Xuan Yuan, the revered figure from Capital City's Huguo Temple, as possessing the phoenix destiny—a remarkably fortunate child!

Born with phoenix destiny!

How could such a child be regarded as ordinary?

Master Xuan Yuan's prophecies at Huguo Temple in the Capital were renowned for their perfect accuracy.

Only because he passed the Ning Family's grand mansion days prior to Weng Lanlan's due date and spotted the majestic phoenix silhouette encircling the estate did he bother to step inside and foresee the fate of this yet-to-be-born Ning offspring.

Master Xuan Yuan gravely informed family head Ning Changsheng, "One child in Weng Lanlan's womb bears the phoenix destiny. Provided your family cherishes them properly, boundless prosperity and honor will flood the Ning Family."

With that, he departed gracefully.

Naturally ecstatic from Master Xuan Yuan's divination, the Ning Family members rejoiced.

Money posed no barrier, so they spared no cost; fearing incidents like baby switches or delivery errors, the family opted after deliberation for Weng Lanlan to deliver at home.

A fortune was invested to secure expert obstetricians, nurses, and midwives, all poised for the Ning Family's treasured little princess's birth.

Yet with twins in Weng Lanlan's belly, which held the true phoenix fate?

Outside the delivery room, three generations of Ning Family direct descendants waited in suspense, yearning to greet their little princess without delay.

First generation: Old Master Ning and Madam Ning;

Second generation: Current family head Ning Changsheng and his spouse Long Lirong;

And the expectant father, Ning Yu.

Ning Yu strode anxiously back and forth beyond the delivery room, glancing repeatedly at his watch and straining to hear his wife's muffled cries from within, his anxiety mounting. "Why no baby yet? This wait is pure agony!"

His words barely ended when a baby's vigorous wail echoed loudly.

Ning Yu's face burst into joy as he shouted to his grandparents and parents, "She delivered! Lanlan delivered! Our little princess has arrived! Hahaha, our little princess is here!"

As the family buzzed with thrill and eagerness for the doctors to present the infant, a shrill, terrified scream pierced from inside the delivery room: "Aaaaah..."

Right then, the delivery room doors flew wide open.

A white-coated female doctor dashed out, shrieking hysterically with terror-stricken features, "A monster! A monster! A three-eyed monster!!!"

Old Master Ning, enraged by her repeated "monster" cries, darkened his face and bellowed at Ning Changsheng, "Why idle? Grab that lunatic! If she spreads this outside, our Ning Family's name is destroyed! Seize her now! Seize her!"

Dreading the fallout if the doctor leaked the secret, Ning Changsheng shuddered violently.

He lunged, seized the woman, and struck her neck's nape with a palm, sending her crumpling unconscious.

The trailing nurses and midwives froze upon seeing Ning Changsheng's menacing strike; pale-faced, they clustered together, rooted in dread.

Would the Ning Family silence them all by slaughter?

Rumors swirled of Ning Changsheng's merciless drive; for ambitions, he knew no bounds, even disowning kin who obstructed him.

Ning Changsheng approached them steadily, gaze icy as he warned, "Kindly return inside and wait. Fear not—if you cooperate fully, the Ning Family guarantees fair treatment!"

Under his piercing stare, the nurses and midwives' scalps prickled; they scurried back into the delivery room.

Securing those people, Ning Changsheng led Elder Mr. and Mrs. Ning, Long Lirong, and Ning Yu inside.

Superstitions forgotten now, they yearned only to verify if the newborn girl truly was the three-eyed abomination described.

Weng Lanlan, shocked by news of birthing a monster, had passed out.

Beside the delivery bed, the first-born baby girl rested swaddled in a bassinet.

The other newborn girl lay bare nearby, umbilical cord intact, her starry black eyes quietly scanning the unfamiliar world.

The Ning Family quelled their terror and drew closer to inspect...

Horror struck; they gasped, faces twisting in revulsion.

The tiny girl bore a third eye squarely on her forehead!!!

That third eye gleamed with mesmerizing, piercing light, as if peering through all illusions and devouring existence.

As the baby's third eye swept over the Ning clan, they sensed an ancient fiend's lock, dread coiling through them, nearly shattering their sanity.

Grandmother Long Lirong screamed first, eyes bulging in fright, "It's a real monster! Heavens! Utterly terrifying! Utterly terrifying! Utterly terrifying!"

Mrs. Ning recoiled steps, trembling violently.

Panic etched her wrinkled visage as she wailed, "A monster! Truly a monster! Somebody, hurl her away! Remove her now!"

Long Lirong bobbed her head wildly, howling in panic, "Right, right, toss her out! Quick, toss her! My god, no princess—this is a calamity star crashing down! End her! End her!"

"Calamity star crashing down" jolted Elder Ning's core.

Fury blazing in his eyes, he snapped at Long Lirong, "Silence! Master Xuan Yuan never errs; his words ring true! If one's flawed, the other seems flawless. Discard the three-eyed freak, retain the good one—problem solved! Idiot!"

Family head Ning Changsheng's face hardened as he declared firmly, "Elder speaks wisely. Preserve the worthy child, dispatch the unwanted one!"

A cold glint flashed in Shen Tianxing's eyes—this family all craved her death!
