Three days zipped by in the blink of an eye.

Over those three days, Ye Wan Wan mainly slept and mulled over the recollections from her past life.

Si Ye Han stayed true to form from before. He vanished completely for all three days. The mansion's servants stayed deep in their duties, hardly uttering a word to her or even glancing her way.

This massive residence felt no better than a tomb.

Ye Wan Wan slipped into her pajamas, glanced at the clock, and hurried out to the garden.

A lovely moonlight glowed amid a soft breeze, which calmed the terror from her grim memories of that confining prison.

The garden truly boasted a splendid sight. Si Ye Han had crafted its design personally, bringing in the globe's elite architects; it required a full five years to construct in Imperial City's premier spot.

What a shame—in her prior life, she never valued it. She loathed the jail that held her captive and longed only to demolish it.

Clear as day, a huge scorched lawn patch, a slashed flower bed, and a filthy pond stood out... all her "masterpieces".

"Wan Wan——"

Suddenly, a well-known voice rang out on the night breeze.

Ye Wan Wan raised her eyes from a drooping rose toward where the sound came from.

In the soft glow, a man in a lavish, high-end suit appeared—suave and refined.

She couldn't deny it: Gu Yue Ze had completely enchanted her.

Si Ye Han, that fiend, couldn't hold a candle to him.

Gu Yue Ze lingered a short distance away, his forehead creased in a frown.

Ye Wan Wan caught his faint response and checked her attire.

Right then, heavy metal garb still clung to her, matched with layers of garish makeup.

Her closet held no everyday outfits, so she opted to preserve her former style. A sudden overhaul might spark doubts too soon anyway.

Gu Yue Ze gazed at her with icy detachment, his face brimming with dismay, "Wan Wan! How could you degrade yourself like this?"

Degrade myself?

Ye Wan Wan savored those mocking words.

Back in her previous life, she'd poured her whole soul into him. To show her faithfulness, she'd adopted that odd, repulsive appearance.

Yet ultimately, his response was to call it degrading herself.

She realized Shen Meng Qi badmouthed her to Gu Yue Ze, yet had he felt even a trace of love, he'd dismiss Shen Meng Qi's lies.

As her dearest friend, Shen Meng Qi dropped by frequently for visits, granting her unrestricted entry. Ye Wan Wan had even smuggled Gu Yue Ze inside covertly.

The moment Ye Wan Wan opened her mouth to reply, icy dread crawled up her back.

Si Ye Han...

He's here!

That man's aura hit her on pure instinct.

During her past life, oblivious to Shen Meng Qi's treachery, Si Ye Han lurked in shadows the entire time she betrayed him, igniting her endless torment...

Ye Wan Wan let out a soft sigh, steeling herself to disregard Si Ye Han's nearness. With a cool stare at Gu Yue Ze, she laughed lightly and said, "I wonder which perspective you're questioning me from? That of my ex-fiance? Or... my brother-in-law?"

Gu Yue Ze's face darkened under Ye Wan Wan's biting words, "Wan Wan, I know you blame me, but I was also helpless. Whatever happened, I'm responsible for what you've become today. Leave with me now and I'll take you out of Imperial City!"
