Upon realizing her husband and sister had betrayed her, Su Jin flew into a rage, attacking her sister. In the ensuing struggle, Su Jin was stabbed, but not before biting her sister. Her husband then manipulated the scene to frame Su Jin for her sister's death, leaving Su Jin to die.
{p} Su Jin's eyes were shut tight, all her inner thoughts carefully hidden. {p} As Su Jin, her life had ended on that hospital bed. From that precise moment, the world would know no one by the name Su Jin. {p} Meanwhile, the original occupant of this body, the one Lu Qing addressed as Qin Miaomiao, could be considered the luckiest woman alive. By virtue of an old-fashioned marriage agreement arranged by their families, she had wed the most powerful man in City A, the commanding and formidable King, Lu Qing. {p} Yet, her story was also one of profound pity. Shunned by her own family from a tender age, her sole purpose was to serve as a bargaining chip, securing the Lu Family's crucial support for the Qin Family. {p} However, she was ultimately just a naive young girl, desperate to escape the constraints imposed by her family, striving to forge her own identity, and clinging fiercely to the man before her, albeit through entirely misguided approaches. {p} Despite having officially become Mrs. Lu, a true sense of security remained perpetually out of reach. Whenever any female presence entered Lu Qing's vicinity, even a mere business associate, she would descend into a vortex of unbridled jealousy, instigating turmoil that would echo throughout the entire city. {p} Ultimately, once more, it was due to a woman who was strictly a client that her jealousy reached its boiling point. In a jealous rage, she drank alone, subsequently encountered menacing hooligans who initiated an assault, fought valiantly to break free, but was tragically struck by a speeding street racer. Critically injured, blinded, and left in a vegetative state, she departed this world not long after, carrying a heavy burden of regret. {p} Now, Su Jin had taken possession of this body, reborn with the smoldering hatred from her previous existence, inhabiting this new form. {p} Since heaven had granted her a second opportunity at life, she vowed to reclaim everything that had been unjustly taken and personally exact vengeance upon all those who had caused her suffering. {p} She was also determined to ensure that the name Qin Miaomiao would become etched into the annals of City A, evolving into a figure of admiration and deep respect. {p} This would serve as a form of atonement for the unfortunate girl who had once inhabited this body. {p} Upon awakening, Qin Miaomiao meticulously concealed the powerful emotions of hatred and resolve churning within her heart. She then turned her gaze towards Lu Qing with a feigned sense of nervousness—precisely as his own eyes subtly met hers. {p} In that fleeting instant their gazes locked, Qin Miaomiao felt an unnerving sensation, as if her very soul had been pierced and frozen solid. An involuntary tremor coursed through her entire being. {p} Before she could utter a single word, he propelled a document across the table towards her. {p} "Sign it." {p} Upon closer examination, she realized with a shock that it was a divorce agreement! {p} The moment their eyes collided, Qin Miaomiao's body convulsed with an uncontrollable shiver. Although she had endured countless hardships in her prior life, she couldn't suppress a primal surge of fear when confronted by his gaze, as if her very soul had been irrevocably pierced and chilled to the bone. {p} Concerning the Lu Family and the formidable Lu Qing, their names had been an inescapable echo throughout her past life as Su Jin, heard countless times. Yet, she had never once conceived that she would encounter this enigmatic and elusive figure in such a manner. {p} The Lu Family reigned supreme as the preeminent power in City A, positioned far above all other influential families. In City A, their pronouncements carried the weight of absolute law. Even a minor branch of the Lu Family possessed the influence to command the tides of power and fortune externally. {p} And Lu Qing stood at the very helm of this unparalleled dynasty. Whispers and rumors painted him as a figure of absolute ruthlessness and unyielding dominance, a man who wielded his influence equally in the shadowy underworld and the cutthroat business world. Even figures of political authority trod with extreme caution in his presence. {p} Though the circulating tales depicted him as an invincible force, he maintained an exceptionally low profile, shrouded in such profound secrecy that no one had ever laid eyes upon his true countenance—only his terrifying reputation preceded him. {p} Yet, in this very moment, Qin Miaomiao could scarcely believe that her inaugural encounter with him would be so profoundly awkward: as a discarded Mrs. Lu, initiating divorce proceedings. {p} Fate, it seemed, had indeed orchestrated a particularly cruel twist. {p} Drawing a steadying breath to fortify herself against the palpable aura of dominance radiating from Lu Qing, Qin Miaomiao lifted her gaze to meet the eyes of this most powerful man. Her eyes, which had previously held a lifeless quality, now shimmered with an unexpected brilliance. Even Lu Qing found himself compelled to steal a few extra glances.
