"Let me go, don't touch me... no..."

Mu Shini's eyes snapped open, wide with panic in the suffocating darkness. She pressed her small hands against the man's chest, her strength failing and a cry for help unspoken, only a weak plea escaping her lips.

The room was devoid of any light. Unable to see his face, she could only sense his piercing, cold eyes, resembling those of a hawk, scanning her as if by X-ray, sending shivers of terror down her spine!

"Take the medicine."

A low, husky voice, like a devil's whisper, brushed against Mu Shini's ear.

"No... Ah... It hurts..."

With a scream that tore at the heart, Mu Shini jolted awake, drenched in sweat.

Glancing around, she found herself in her own room. A wave of relief washed over her as she quickly exited the bed and poured a glass of warm water.

What could have caused such a dream?

In the dream, she had been entangled intimately with an unknown man, causing her face to burn and her heart to pound wildly.

The vivid memories of the man forcefully shifting their positions remained, the sounds of his rough breaths echoing in her ears.

Dreams are said to be manifestations of unfulfilled real-life desires, a release of suppressed wishes under the cloak of night. Could having such a dream out of the blue signify repressed desires?

But she usually didn't experience such urges!

Why would this kind of dream surface unexpectedly?

Yet, upon waking, a faint glimmer of anticipation for the mysterious man in her dream surfaced, even a surge of unexpected feelings towards him?

Heavens above!

Mu Shini, has she lost her mind to develop feelings for the man who violated her in her dream?

Shaking her head, Mu Shini gathered her clothes and retreated to the bathroom, intending to wash away her anxieties with the cleansing water.

After her bath, discovering her body covered in red blotches, she was sufficiently alarmed to rush downstairs to find her father. As she passed his study, the sound of voices within made her halt, her face paling as she strained to listen.

"No! We must absolutely prevent Nian Nian from marrying into the Bao Family! Although the Bao Family's Second Young Master holds a high military rank, he is impaired and prone to violence. How could I condemn Nian Nian to a life of suffering by marrying into the Bao Family? Who knows how long Bo Sishen will even live! Nian Nian is merely 18; how could she possibly become a widow, or live as one, so young! I gave my word to her mother that I would protect her."

"However, our Mu Family is currently facing one crisis after another. The Bao Family bringing up a marriage at this juncture is clearly intended to honor a pre-existing marriage arrangement."

"Even if we were inclined to marry Nian Nian into the Bao Family, her maternal grandfather would surely not consent!"

"Dad is advanced in years; he cannot make such decisions. Furthermore, this marriage was a pact sealed by her maternal grandfather with the Bao Family. We are merely upholding that promise. Moreover, the Bao Family seeks to improve their fortune, and Shini has been afflicted with a peculiar illness for two years; perhaps this union will alleviate it."

The deep resonance of Mu Yanfu's voice, mingled with Wen Chunlan's gentle counsel, emanated from the study. These words were overheard by Mu Shini, standing outside the door.

She pushed the door open and stepped inside, her gaze falling upon her father and stepmother, Wen Chunlan, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Father, please, take me to the hospital. I feel utterly dreadful..."

Mu Shini's skin was marred by large patches of red spots. Her eyes were red as she knelt, her plea filled with a desperate envy.

"Shini, it's not that we are unwilling to seek medical attention for you, but you yourself are unaware of what transpired two years ago; how can we possibly find a cure? We have consulted numerous doctors in this very home; which renowned physician could diagnose your peculiar affliction? In my assessment, it bears the hallmarks of a sexually transmitted disease. Had I not confirmed the integrity of your hymen, I would have suspected syphilis!"
