~2 minute read · 593 words

Ye Wan Wan's eyes slowly opened.

Chilling eyes met hers, piercing straight into her soul and sending icy shivers racing down her spine.

"Ah——"

Her pale fingers clutched the duvet in a tight grip.

Once more, the agony of her body ripping apart assaulted her.

Was this hell?

How could she be dead yet pulled back to this place beside this demon?

Dazed by the man's burning heat, her body instinctively rebelled as she cried out, "Don't touch me!"

In one seamless motion, an icy chill gripped her. His face darkened with a spectral, murderous glare, and his frozen lips clamped down on hers viciously, as though he aimed to consume her entirely.

Pain overwhelmed Ye Wan Wan, clouding her thoughts completely. She whispered without thinking, "Why... Why me... Si Ye Han... Why must it be me...?"

"Because it has to be you."

That deep, raspy voice sounded like iron chains binding her very spirit.

Recognizing the exact reply from her past life, Ye Wan Wan blacked out.

...

When her eyes opened once more, night's shadows had given way to bright daylight.

The room brimmed with a fresh floral aroma, sunlight's gentle warmth streaming in to ease her lingering anxiety for a brief instant.

But the very next moment, Ye Wan Wan's body stiffened anew.

Panic surged through her as the man stirred awake.

The arm encircling her waist pulled tighter, cradling her like a mere cushion against him.

"Still leaving?"

A terrifying whisper slithered into her ear.

Driven by pure survival instinct, Ye Wan Wan shook her head frantically.

Unsure if he accepted her denial, he eyed her briefly before lowering his gaze, planting soft kisses along her lips, chin, and neck...

His thick, scorching breath against her neck triggered alarms throughout her entire frame.

Like a fawn nipped by a fierce hunter, she froze, not daring to twitch.

Only after an eternity did he finally release her.

The following instant brought an unexpectedly captivating scene into Ye Wan Wan's sight.

Half-naked, he rose from the bed, backlight sculpting his lean frame and narrow waist.

Yet this alluring image vanished quickly as he grabbed his clothes from bedside and fastened his shirt buttons up to the collar with precise care.

Moments earlier, he'd raged like a wild beast, yet now his striking features held an emotionless chill.

Only when the door's closing click echoed did Ye Wan Wan let her taut nerves unwind.

At last, she could ponder her predicament.

Her gaze drifted lazily over the room's decorations and settled on her reflection in the facing vanity mirror.

The mirror showed a girl whose once-dark lips had been nibbled pale, her facial makeup ruined by tears and perspiration. Her skin, marked with bruises and love bites, displayed a gruesome, blood-soaked tattoo.

Unbelievable that she appeared this way at just 20 years old!

Back then, desperate to escape Si Ye Han, she had intentionally uglified herself to seem repulsive.

And now, she had truly... been reborn...

Abruptly, crushing terror and hopelessness seized her throat.

Why...

Why was she thrown back seven years into the past?!

She'd prefer death over returning to this demon's side.

She remembered vividly: this spot marked her first time with Si Ye Han, followed by endless nights of brutal torment.

Her love, her kin, her honor, her liberty—all lost. She had nothing left.

Did she have to endure it all over again?

No. Heaven granted her this second life, so she would rewrite everything!
