Rebirth from the Ashes Chapter 1

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Excruciating pain jolted Shen Xi awake. The scorching torment ripping through her flesh sparked violent spasms throughout her entire body.

Voices echoed right beside her.

“Dad, beat her to death. Wanwan showed her nothing but kindness, yet she’s a vicious b*tch who mistreated her terribly!”

“Dear, I warned you not to bring her back. You can’t grasp the nature of a child you didn’t raise yourself. But you refused to heed me.”

Slowly, darkness enveloped Shen Xi’s vision, blurring everything around her. The sight before her struck her as ridiculously absurd.

These three figures looming over her were supposedly her blood family.

However, their gazes held only cold indifference, scorn, and fury. They yearned to see her gone.

They viewed her not as family at all, but as a hated foe.

The striking middle-aged man gripping a whip was her father, Su Yi.

Beside him stood the stunning woman with a frosty face and red-rimmed eyes—her mother, Li Jingran.

Next was the handsome youth whose alluring features masked a perilous glint in his eyes. He was her second elder brother, Su Muyan.

She had achieved rebirth. Having fulfilled her quest across 66 astral planes, she came back to where it started—the Su family, devoid of warmth and steeped in chill detachment and emptiness.

But this time, she wasn’t the old Shen Xi who endured bullying and shame. She had transformed into an unstoppable Shen Xi, returning fueled by fierce retribution!

Her endless torment under the Su family’s cruelty etched every incident vividly into her memory.

It unfolded on her seventeenth birthday. As the rightful Su family heiress, it marked the second year since her return home, where she had celebrated her first one.

Her birthday coincided with that of Su Ruowan, the impostor Su family heiress, who was five years her senior.

The entire family had spent a month planning Su Ruowan’s birthday bash to surprise her.

Yet, Shen Xi’s own relatives acted as if she didn’t exist.

Yesterday, her eldest brother Su Muxuan flung a teddy bear her way. Its soft pink hue charmed her.

Delighted, she believed it to be her big brother’s birthday present and cherished it dearly.

Regrettably, Su Ruowan grabbed the teddy bear from her that very morning.

Shen Xi demanded it back during their clash. In the scuffle, Su Ruowan tripped and rolled down the stairs.

Su Ruowan wept, claiming it was all a mix-up—she never meant to steal it. The brand-new teddy was soiled, and she just wanted to wash it before handing it back to her little sister.

What a noble justification, and what an exemplary big sister always looking out for the younger one.

Shen Xi’s family heaped the fault on her, charging her with shoving Su Ruowan downstairs. They branded her wicked and thankless.

Not satisfied with that, Su Yi, fresh from the hospital, lashed her savagely with the whip until she blacked out, all without a single word.

By sheer chance, Shen Xi reborn right at the instant she lost consciousness.

“Dear, she seems to have passed out,” Li Jingran said with a scowl, eyeing the girl sprawled on the ground in revulsion.

She fainted after just a few lashes. Because of her, Wanwan’s leg got broken, and she had the nerve to collapse!

This village-born daughter wasn’t raised by her. Li Jingran felt no affection for her, only irritation.

“Passed out? She’s faking it to escape punishment!” Su Muyan sneered, approaching with a basin of water. “Dad, step aside. I’ll rouse her.”

Why wouldn’t she just die? Wanwan endured so much suffering because of her!

No one spotted Shen Xi, motionless on the floor, suddenly snapping her eyes open. Her stare turned icy and resolute, laced with open scorn for those nearby.
